Matchday 31 results: Give yourselves a big pat on the back (& Matchday 32 predictions)

Guys,

I think the old maxim is finally ringing true. Practice really does make perfect. Matthew Syed may well write a follow-up book to Bounce (excellent, go read) about this game in a few years time, because we may finally be improving! Of course, one swallow and all that guff about chickens hatching, but for now, I'm revelling in the fact that this was an incredibly successful week for all of us!

5 is normally a score that's acceptable to good...over the course of 2 seasons, only a handful have managed to breech the 5.00 mark on the leaderboard. When, out of 21 players, the lowest score for a full 10 match weekend is 5....well I'm just bursting with pride.

Let's not dally, let's get statty:

This week, 21 people played
The most popular predicted result was an Arsenal WIN (21/21)
The most disputed result was West Ham vs WBA (8-8-5 split)

Highest Odds: Doron Salomon (of course) 4347/1
Lowest Odds: Steven Daniels (718/1)
Average Odds: 1500/1

Best predictor: Euro Club Index (9/10)
Worst predictors: Josh Gaon, Menachem Grunewald and Tarek Najm (5/10). Feels bad to have this line this week.
Average score: A game record 7/10 (6.76). Give yourselves all a round of applause. The previous best was 6.33, so this is a demolition frankly.

Best predicted result: Arsenal WIN (21/21)
Worst predicted result: Southampton WIN (1/21 - Tekaboo Sam Ruback)

The long overdue villain of the week: Rafa for (correctly) prioritising the FA Cup over the league, but in the process, robbing ECI of a chance at the perfect 10.

Everyone's score:

To the leaderboard, and WhoScored.com regain the lead whilst Jonathan Chernick's no-show on freebie week leaves him adrift at the foot. With only 7 games to go, that could prove terminal (though not Wain-esque levels of terminal for those who played last year). Most people in the table have a rival or two for their position, and so it's good to see that we still have plenty to play for as we round the final bend.

To this week's predictions:

Reading vs Southampton - SOUTHAMPTON

Norwich vs Swansea - DRAW

Stoke vs Aston Villa - ASTON VILLA

WBA vs Arsenal - ARSENAL

Liverpool vs West Ham - LIVERPOOL

Spurs vs Everton - DRAW

Chelsea vs Sunderland - CHELSEA

Newcastle vs Fulham - DRAW

QPR vs Wigan - DRAW

Man Utd vs Man City - MAN UTD

Total odds: 7278/1 (PaddyPower)

Let's keep the run going guys. Good luck!
