Gameweek 3 Roundup
Results, crowd predictions, upsets and who won the prize money
The roundup
If there's a gameweek to point to as the season's draw-fest, it's this one. Six of the ten games finished level, and in none of them did the crowd have the draw as its outright favourite - the nearest, Newcastle v Bournemouth, had it level with a home win.
Brentford's 1-1 draw with Sunderland summed it up best: 85% of the pool had Brentford winning outright, the most one-sided pick of the week that fell flat. Brighton's 1-1 draw with Leeds followed the same script, with 81% expecting a home win that never arrived.
Manchester City's 1-0 win over Coventry was the one banker of the week - every single player who predicted it called it correctly, a rare 100% across the board. Nothing else in the gameweek came close to that kind of agreement.
Fulham's 2-3 home defeat to Crystal Palace added an away upset into the mix too, with just 15% of the pool seeing it coming against a crowd that mostly fancied a Fulham win or a draw.
27 players made 266 predictions. Soren won the gameweek with 49 points, the highest single-week score of the season so far, and took the £25 prize. Ibezzt was runner-up on 36 points for £10.
Only 43% of predictions got the result right and 10% nailed the score - not quite as brutal as some other weeks, but a genuine reminder that draws are the hardest result on the card to call, something the site's own guides have flagged since.
