WEEK 07 REVIEW
Three draws in the five fixtures once again made it a low-scoring week, with the only three trebles of the round coming from @FirsFox40, @RefereeX, and @JamesL going for the 1-1 draw in the Swansea - Bristol City match for 3/6/9 points respectively. Late, late drama at the Metropolitano spoiled it for most people, with only @stedaley benefiting from the (eventual) draw. Spurs upset a few apple carts, and no one saw Villa coming away with less than three points. @OldNavyRef nailed the first-goal bonus and that lifts him from 7th to 3rd overall.

Stat Geek request: It would be interesting to see who has predicted the most correct results since this won't necessarily correlate with the leaderboard.

Liverpool - 1) because they have struggled in the past as Selhurst park and 2) I'm lazy and can't be bothered to look who's top and then who they are playing

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works of your meticulous planning @FirsFox40, but it has just occured to me that there is a full midweek EFL fixture list. Those who are top now, may not be by the weekend. How are we working that?
Umm, I did read it...
I just read it wrong

- Chelsea 4-1 Nottingham Forest (5)
- Brighton 1-0 Tottenham (2)

I'll say Gillingham on the basis that I don't have the knowledge of other leagues to go looking outside of the PL/EFL
19: Old Navy / SteDaley
17: Pwizardo
15: Holbeach / Gabriel
14: One / RefereeX

Poorly worded question... Apologies.
I meant correct scores
All very interesting though... @one Mid table for results but sits top of the pile.
Funnily @one is level with me for results, but I think I've only actually had one correct score, hence my lowly position compared with his, yet I'm one of the only 3 not to have had a negative game week. Think that's down to my strategy of predicting draws when I'm not overly confidentPoorly worded question... Apologies.
