In a shortened week, dgsmith is currently top scorer as the only player to reach 20 points.If he holds on to the lead when the 2 remaining fixtures have been played then it will be his first weekly win this season (and his third win in total)
He is also one of 4 players to have got the correct outcome in 7 of the 8 matches played (beth84, neilwatson and Simon1984 also managing that feat). dgsmith only missed out on Man United's win and Simon failed to get Chelsea's win, whilst beth and neil missed out on West Brom winning
dosanjh1 and InTheLoop got the most exacts - three each. Both players maxed the wins for Stoke and Spurs, whilst doasnjh1 also got the Chelsea win and InTheLoop got the goalless draw at Watford. As far as InTheLoop is concerned, they are the only three matches they scored in
Despite it not being a complete set of fixtures, we still managed to score 670 points collectively, making it the 17th best scoring week so far this season. The Leicester and Spurs wins both saw 56 of the 59 players scoring points, although the Spurs comeback win was the only fixture this weekend to reach double figures in terms of exacts.The two 3-2 home wins (Man United and West Brom) were the only matches no-one got spot on.
Four of the 8 fixtures scored more than 100 points each - only weeks 3 (with 5 matches) and week 5 (with 6 matches) have done better.
Overall dazc has extended his lead to 7 points, which is the biggest lead since Matthartlane led Apple_Crumble by 11 points in week 17. This is dazc's third week as leader (only Apple_Crumble with 4 weeks and Matthartlane with 15 weeks had been on top more this season). It is also his 10th week in the top 5 this season - Matthartlane (23), dbal (16) and Apple_Crumble (11) are the players to have occupied a top 5 place more weeks this season.
tso has scored points from the most matches (125) - having managed one more correct outcome than dean michael
Tokyo has the most exacts so far this season with 30, one more than charlieparr (both of whom have not yet managed an uber-max this season - although it should be pointed out that they predict far fewer ubers than any other players having only gone for 4 and 3 ubers respectively so far this season)
There were 2 cowpats this weekend: Leicester 1-0 Norwich and Southampton 1-2 Chelsea. MinkyJoe benefitted the most, getting them both spot on for a +10. This equals the best positive pattage of the season (Katie-Jane and Croctacus also managed +10's in weeks 7 and 17 respectively). Thebenster and taurus_67 retained their positions as the top 2 in the overall cowpat table as they were both amongst the 7 players who managed a +7 this weekend. At the other end of the cowpat spectrum InTheLoop was the only player to suffer a negative pat in both matches - suffering a -4 as a result.
TruffleShuffle leads the current form guide - having gained 88 points in the past 6 weeks. He has also scored points in the most matches in that time (31), whilst tso has gained points from 30 matches. DimbleBurbleby and beth84 are showing the greatest difference between their overall position and current form - Dim is 5th over the past 6 weeks but 32nd overall, whilst Beth is 14th in the form guide but 49th overall.
The best run of current exacts is shared by DimbleBurbleby, Terrence Chant, charlieparr and taurus_67 who have each managed an exact for 4 consecutive weeks.
