MAN v FAT Rotherham

19/11/2025

🔥 GAMEWEEK 5 – MANvFAT ROTHERHAM 🔥

Storms cleared, the motivation’s high, and we’re heading into a HUGE night of fixtures as Gameweek 4 kicks off! Three cracking match-ups, plenty of storylines, and every team hunting for those big off-pitch points that make all the difference! 💪⚽

---

🟨 INTER PIEAMI vs ⬛ CHEWVENTUS

⏰ Kick-Off: 19:10

We start the night with a tasty clash!
Inter Pieami come into this one looking sharp and organised, while Chewventus will be aiming to build momentum and convert their strong off-pitch efforts into on-pitch success. Expect a tight, tactical opener with both sides eyeing those vital two points.

---

🟥 DIABETICO MADRID vs 🟩 WIDER BREMEN

⏰ Kick-Off: 19:50

A heavyweight showdown!
Diabetico Madrid have been showing grit, goals, and brilliant teamwork — and they’ll need all of it against a Wider Bremen side who always give everything on and off the pitch. This one could be a real statement game for either team.

---

🟨 OZEMPIACOS vs 🟦 EVER-TONNE

⏰ Kick-Off: 20:30

We end the night with a proper energy-filled fixture!
Ozempiacos come in with confidence, while Ever-Tonne will be hungry to bounce back and show their full potential. Both teams love a battle and this last game could be the one that steals the show.

---

No matter the scoreline, remember:
It’s the off-pitch work that brings the biggest wins.
Your weigh-ins, your effort, your consistency — that’s what drives your team up the table.

Let’s have a big night, lads! 👊🔥
Good luck to all teams! ⚽💪
