A very high scoring week this week. A lot of that was down to Chelsea’s win over West Ham which was predicted by 15 of us. Other good point scorers were Norwich’s loss to Newcastle (predicted by 7), Bournemouth’s draw with Fulham (predicted by 6) and Brighton’s draw with Southampton (predicted by 5).
Other than that, stoatey & northwesthoop got Swansea's draw with Middlesbrough, jimjams got Burnley’s win over Wolves, minxymartin got Derby’s loss to Bristol City and Rosco Bosco got West Brom’s draw with Coventry.
Six players got the maximum score of 8 points: MCM Hoop, ashqpr, QPRBex, stoatey, northwesthoop and me. Another 8 scored 5 points.
Our top 2, Rosco Bosco and Jalfrezi Rs both scored 5 points. So Rosco Bosco maintains his 8 point lead and Jalfrezi Rs needs to outscore him next week to take the title battle into the last week. No-one else can win the title now.
The battle for 3rd place is really close. Only 6 points separate kingfisher in 3rd and QPRBex in 10th.
There is a change at the bottom. northwesthoop moved off the bottom in emphatic style with 8 points. Singlespeed scored 5 points so SydneyR drops to the bottom, with Singlespeed 20th and LurkR 19th.
The postponed Barnsley v Blackpool match takes place on Tuesday. LurkR is the only one of us to make a prediction on this match and a draw would give him a much needed 2 points.
