Premier League Gameweek 6 review

By Predictions League - Published 12 October 2026 - from 2405 real predictions made on this site - commentary drafted automatically from the numbers below

Gameweek 6 pulled in 2,405 predictions from 249 of you, spread across ten fixtures that mostly refused to behave. Three of them finished level, including Manchester United v Tottenham and Hull against Everton, while Chelsea put five past Bournemouth and Manchester City won 3-0 at Anfield. Arsenal beating Leeds 2-1 was the one result almost everybody saw coming, backed by 95 per cent of the 227 who went near it.

The shock-o-meter

Coventry 4-1 Newcastle was the round's great unravelling. Of 244 predictions, just 4 per cent had the home win, and the average scoreline submitted was 0.55-2.07, which is roughly the opposite of what happened.

Ipswich beating Fulham 2-1 found only 18 per cent of backers from 241 entries, with the average guess a 0.95-1.26 away nudge. Manchester United's 1-1 with Tottenham caught 19 per cent, most having pencilled in something closer to 2.13-1.06.

Prediction heroes

Three names top the exact-score column this week, all on three apiece: Steven Brill, Iimaan C/risaaq and Todd Barton. In a round with that much noise in it, three correct scorelines is a decent afternoon's work.

Nobody got near Chelsea 5-1 Bournemouth. All 241 predictions on that fixture missed the exact score, which is a clean sweep of nothing, even though 74 per cent correctly had the home win.

Last Man Standing carnage report

Last Man Standing took 92 picks this round and sent 22 of them home, an elimination rate of 24 per cent. Arsenal were the crowd's comfort blanket with 51 picks and no casualties at all.

Newcastle were the problem. All 13 who picked them went out at Coventry, a perfect record of the wrong kind. Everton's 2-2 at Hull accounted for the other three. Chelsea's 12 backers and Brighton's five sailed through.

FPL watch: picks to look out for

Brighton dominate the transfer traffic heading into gameweek 7. De Cuyper, at 5.1m, drew 324,593 transfers in and returned 15 points, while Groß leads the form table on 12.3 from 288,853 moves. Both sit on 53 total points. João Pedro (297,276 in) and Cherki (225,113) complete the busiest names.

The in-form list has one genuine outlier: Jordan Henderson, 4.9m, owned by 0.3 per cent, 18 points last week. Manzambi at Villa is on 0.9 per cent ownership. Deadline is 17 October, 10:00 UTC.
