Gameweek 2 drew 3,279 predictions from 348 of you, and for long stretches it behaved itself. Crystal Palace 1-4 Manchester City was backed by 95 per cent, Manchester United's 5-2 win over Ipswich by 93 and Arsenal's 1-0 at Aston Villa by 92. Then came Anfield, and the tidy little afternoon fell apart for almost everybody.
Liverpool 2-2 Nottingham Forest was the one nobody wanted. Just 7 per cent of 321 entries had the draw, with the average call sitting at 2.24-0.71 in Liverpool's favour. Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle collected 27 per cent from 328, having been leaned home at 1.69-1.41. Leeds 1-1 Brentford was similar: 28 per cent of 336, with most expecting Brentford to nick it.
Four exact scores was the high mark this round, shared by Gullit Vanpasten, SABIIB and Jacob Hunter. Nobody at all got near Chelsea 4-3 Brighton: 336 predictions, zero exact calls, and an average of 2.25-1.16 that fell well short of seven goals. A fixture that owed nothing to reason.
Last Man Standing took a proper dent. Of 110 picks, 35 went out, a 32 per cent cull. Manchester United were the popular choice with 44 backers and all of them survived, while Manchester City's 17, Arsenal's 8 and Chelsea's 3 also came through. Liverpool did the damage: 27 picked them, 27 are out. That draw with Forest earned its keep.
Rayan Cherki was the transfer of the week with 955,748 moves in, and 14 points at 7.7m justified the traffic. Yoane Wissa (476,519) and Anthony Elanga (406,290) both returned 8. Maxim De Cuyper drew 401,717 buyers and blanked.
For form, Bruno Fernandes leads on 12.5 after 23 points, owned by 48.2 per cent. Hull keeper Konstantinos Tzolakis is at 4.5m and 5.9 per cent owned with 20 total points. Gameweek 3 deadline is 4 September, 17:30 UTC.
