For many football fans the upcoming FA Cup weekend give them a welcome break from the stresses of trying to revitalise their failing fantasy football team.

But Stoke striker Peter Crouch will be chomping at the bit to get back to it, as his team is one of the best in the game.

Former England frontman Crouch has racked up 1,392 points which has him sitting in 34,331 place out of 4,399,020 entrants which puts him in the top one per cent of the game.

"I am flying," he told the Stoke Sentinel before he headed out to Dubai for a Potters warm weather training camp.

The 36-year-old is top of the Stoke squad's mini-league, with Charlie Adam and Joe Allen his nearest rivals. They run their league on a head-to-head system and Crouch's next foe is bottom placed Ryan Shawcross.

Crouch netted his 100th Premier League goal this season, but he's not been tempted to include himself, opting for a frontline of Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku and Jermain Defoe - which isn't too shabby.

He's also splashed big money on Alexis Sanchez, with Dele Alli, Robert Snodgrass and Adam Lallana also competing for places in midfield in his side that he's named 'Club Monday'.

He has used his full quota of three Stoke players though, handing places in his squad to Allen, Lee Grant and Erik Pieters.

So if you see him tracking back to help Grant and Pieters get a clean sheet, then you know why.
