Gameweek 5 pulled in 281 predictors and 2,699 predictions across ten fixtures, and the scoreboard suggests most of them would like a word with it. Manchester City's 5-3 win over Sunderland was the one everyone saw coming, backed by 97 per cent, though the average forecast of 2.53-0.46 rather undersold the afternoon. Elsewhere, three of the ten results were picked by fewer than one in six of you.
Nottingham Forest against Coventry was the killer. Just 1 per cent of 275 predictions had the away win, with the average line reading 2.1-0.39 in Forest's favour, and it finished 0-1. Brighton's 3-0 over Arsenal was backed by 8 per cent, most of you leaning 0.82-1.93 the other way. Brentford beating Chelsea 3-0 got 14 per cent. A rough weekend for the form book.
Three names finished on three exact scores: Alfie Mason, Cabdiwali Geedi and Cadnaan ziyech. Nobody managed more, which given the week feels about right. The fixture that beat the lot of you was Brentford 3-0 Chelsea - 249 predictions submitted, zero exact calls, and an average of 1.38-2.07 that had Chelsea edging it. Tottenham 2-3 Aston Villa was at least spotted by 33 per cent.
Last Man Standing took a proper hit. Of 103 picks, 61 went out, a 59 per cent cull in a single round. Nottingham Forest were the culprit: 37 backers, 37 eliminations, the whole lot. Leeds accounted for another 16 and Arsenal six. The 31 who went with Manchester City are all still standing, as are the seven on Newcastle. Slim pickings ahead.
