And now to an updated leaderboard, showing those who have played >2/3 of available weeks, or 7 of 10:

The first thing to note is that (albeit, with nearly 3/4 of the season to play), the scores are higher than in previous years across the board. Are we improving as a cohort, or is the league more predictable? Or have the vagaries of the fixture calendar produced a start to the season disproportionately easy to call?

The pros have the lead, along with our most 'tactile' player, Eli. Last year's biggest winners from a general perspective are sat near the bottom, with FA Cup champion Josh Gaon mimicking his real life counterparts in taking his eye off the league competition.

Still relatively early days however, and plenty of movement to occur; that much is certain.

To this week's predictions:

Aston Villa vs Cardiff - CARDIFF

Chelsea vs WBA -CHELSEA

Crystal Palace vs Everton - EVERTON

Liverpool vs Fulham - LIVERPOOL

Southampton vs Hull - SOUTHAMPTON

Norwich vs West Ham - DRAW

Spurs vs Newcastle - DRAW

Sunderland vs Man City - MAN CITY

Man Utd vs Arsenal - ARSENAL

Swansea vs Stoke - SWANSEA

Total odds: 1722/1 (PaddyPower)

Good luck guys
