Gameweek 3 drew 3,170 predictions from 341 of you, and half the card finished level. Five draws in ten matches, including 0-0s at Nottingham Forest and Hull City, made for slim pickings. Manchester City's 1-0 over Coventry City was the one everybody got right on outcome, and Arsenal beating Chelsea 2-1 was backed by 57 per cent. Almost everything else went sideways.
Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace was the round's biggest miss: only 11 per cent had Palace winning, with the average prediction sitting at 1.37-0.95 to the home side. Brighton's 1-1 with Leeds was found by 16 per cent despite an average of 1.98-0.95, and Hull City's goalless afternoon against Aston Villa fooled 83 per cent of the 319 who tried it. Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth added to the pile at 22 per cent.
Steve Green and SW6 Chris both landed four exact scores, which in a week of five draws counts as a decent haul. SABIIB followed with three. Nobody at all got Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham: 316 predictions, zero exact calls, and an average of 1.39-1.52 that suggested most expected goals from somewhere. The Manchester City game averaged 3.55-0.19 and finished 1-0.
Seventy-five picks went in and 19 came out, a quarter of the field gone in one round. Manchester City carried 45 of them and survived, Liverpool's 11 backers were fine too. Brentford were the problem: all 10 who picked them went out when Sunderland took a point at 1-1. Newcastle and Brighton claimed three apiece, both undone by draws.
