Gameweek 3 drew 3,170 predictions from 341 of you, and half the card finished level. Five draws in ten matches, including 0-0s at Nottingham Forest and Hull City, made for slim pickings. Manchester City's 1-0 over Coventry City was the one everybody got right on outcome, and Arsenal beating Chelsea 2-1 was backed by 57 per cent. Almost everything else went sideways.
Fulham 2-3 Crystal Palace was the round's biggest miss: only 11 per cent had Palace winning, with the average prediction sitting at 1.37-0.95 to the home side. Brighton's 1-1 with Leeds was found by 16 per cent despite an average of 1.98-0.95, and Hull City's goalless afternoon against Aston Villa fooled 83 per cent of the 319 who tried it. Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth added to the pile at 22 per cent.
Steve Green and SW6 Chris both landed four exact scores, which in a week of five draws counts as a decent haul. SABIIB followed with three. Nobody at all got Nottingham Forest 0-0 Tottenham: 316 predictions, zero exact calls, and an average of 1.39-1.52 that suggested most expected goals from somewhere. The Manchester City game averaged 3.55-0.19 and finished 1-0.
Seventy-five picks went in and 19 came out, a quarter of the field gone in one round. Manchester City carried 45 of them and survived, Liverpool's 11 backers were fine too. Brentford were the problem: all 10 who picked them went out when Sunderland took a point at 1-1. Newcastle and Brighton claimed three apiece, both undone by draws.
Cody Gakpo topped the transfer charts with 282,175 moves in and repaid it with 11 points, form of 9.3 and 28 for the season. Alexander Isak (186,437 in) returned 13. Morgan Rogers, Yoane Wissa and Cole Palmer were also busy. For form, Bruno Fernandes sits at 9.0 and Hull's Konstantinos Tzolakis at 8.7 for 4.6m. Gameweek 4 deadline is 12 September, 12:30 UTC.
