I have a golden rule. I pick three games, decide on the scores and stick with them. Except, that is, for Week 5. I changed my mind many times and, guess what, the three games I was going to pick all came up and the three I chose were all wrong. Does it sound familiar? Well, if I'm honest I can't be 100% sure that I originally picked three scorelines that turned out to be correct, but I remember thinking Palace will let me down if I go for 1-1 in the Eagle-Seagulls game even though it looked a certainty to me. My advice, for what it is worth, is to pick your three games and stick with them. No last minute changes.
Whether they swithered over their predictions I do not know, but
@theeenorth,
@siblers and
@lancashire lad were this week's shining stars with each scoring six. If it is any consolation, it was the toughest week of the season so far with an average of 1.34 scored. The 36 predictors who put their faith in Lee Bowyer's new charges were rewarded even if they suffered from palpitations in the latter stages of the game. However, only two of those 36 predicted the correct score. At the top,
@philcafc pulled further away from the pack, mainly due to those close behind having a bad week.
Bit of admin: Just a reminder that if you pick a game that does not take place for any reason, you score zero points. You can, however, post a replacement prediction up to the time any game kicks off. Finally, it would help me if you post the names of both teams taking part in each game as the program that I use to calculate scores requires me to type in the missing team if one is missing. Thanks a lot.

I give you top spot in the upside down league.
I predicted Spurs to win 3-2 against West Ham, late bloody equaliser i nearly looked like a genius haha
Always never know whether to go in and update, stick or twist so to speak.
