Gameweek 9 drew 2,035 predictions from 210 of you across ten fixtures, and the pattern was clear enough: the home banker landed, almost everything else did not. Tottenham, Brentford, Bournemouth and Chelsea all won at home as expected, but Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle and Aston Villa between them took a single point from four games that most of you had wrapped up in advance.
Villa Park did the most damage. Only 6 per cent of 203 entries had the draw with Fulham, with the average prediction a comfortable 2.16-0.65 home win. The 1-1 landed badly.
At the Etihad, 13 per cent of 204 saw Brighton leaving with the points, the average call being 2.24-1.27 to City. Coventry's 3-1 over Sunderland was backed by 18 per cent, and the average score of 0.89-1.26 had the visitors edging it.
Four exact scores was the ceiling this week, reached by Steve Green, Lauren Geoghegan and Phill LaShill. Given how much of the card went against the grain, that is a decent return.
Coventry 3-1 Sunderland was the one almost nobody saw. Three correct scores from 204 predictions, which works out at roughly one in 68. The rest of you had the away side as the more likely scorers.
Last Man Standing took a proper hit. Of 88 picks, 52 went out, a 59 per cent cull in a single round. Aston Villa were the problem: 42 entries went with them and all 42 are gone after the 1-1 with Fulham.
Manchester City claimed another six. Tottenham, picked by 14, came through, as did Brentford's nine and Bournemouth's seven.
