Sorry, RLB, but I'm currently in no state to update this since the Swansea game. Still, I think it's important to give the crew a shot given that we've got a very real fixture coming up... soon.
A quick look at the table BEFORE the Swansea game has been counted. We'll do a double game sweep of the points before moving on to the next fixture, so everyone will know where they stand.

And, the rules, by our fearless leader RLB:
Rules
- Before the game, predict the winner (or you can predict a draw), the final score, and goalscorers. The deadline will be 5 minutes before kick-off (1555 GMT on Sunday).
- Predicting the outcome correctly will give you 1 point.
- Predicting the exact score will give you 5 points. Failing to predict the exact score but getting the total number of goals correct will give you 1 point, as will predicting one half of the score. If you predict a total of 6 goals or more, you are ineligible to receive points for predicting the correct goalscorers (see below). However, if 6 goals or more are actually scored, the ineligibility will be lifted. This new rule is designed to prevent people from predicting an abnormally high score in order to better their chances of earning the bonus for predicting the scorers.
- For each goal scorer you pick correctly, you earn 2 points. You may not pick more scorers than you did goals in order to hedge your bets. (In other words, if you predict a 1-0 score, you can only choose one scorer.)
