Blue B -1
Well it would certainly appear that after lasts week points fest Zinman absolutely ****** us with this set of fixtures!!! Last week the PL amassed 152 points, this week that dropped to a measly 23!!! For the accountants out there that is a staggering 85% drop!! And it didn't stop with just the total score, of the 8 players in the PL, 5 of them recorded their lowest score of the season, including the first negative score. The Rotherham v PNE match recorded the lowest scoring game of the season with a -9 total on it, courtesy of three incorrect Bonus Balls, and no other players scoring on it on that one, plus we also saw negative points on 3 other games as well!! And lets not get started on the balls, 7 incorrect Gamballs, 7 incorrect Bonus Balls and only 3 correct scores across the 80 predictions, and they were all on one game!!
Not much to say about the individual performances but lets highlight BBB being top for the first time this season, albeit with just 6 points!! He was the only one to score positive points on the Gamball but not much else to add to this score. Stairs and Lady Jane were a point behind, with Minizin and Dingle a further 2 points back. Lady Jane would have ended joint top this week but she put her scoreball on the 0-0 draw at Palace!! Dingle deserves a mention as the only player to score points on the Bonus by picking a L**ds win.
Derby and Zinman ended with 1 solitary point (I would have liked to have given Zin a negative score after these games but couldn't bring myself to do it!!) and after a good recent run Blue Baggie recorded the first negative score this season in the PL with -1!!

77 Blue Baggie

70 BBB
61 Lady Jane
56 Dingle
No real changes in position except for Zinman going joint 4th. No movement due to only a 7 point spread in the scores and those at the top suffering as much as those in the bottom half.
The total points from balls in the PL now stands at 164. No surprise that Stairs, Derby and Minizin occupy the top three spots in the table and are in the top 4 in terms of points gained from balls, Stairs has 34 points, Derby 33, Zinman 26 and Minizin 24. Down the other end the one with the fewest points from the balls is BBB with just 8 in total, Dingle has 16 and LJ has 21.
The outlier with ball play is Blue Baggie, he is sitting ok in 4th in the league but is down near the bottom when it comes to ball play with only 14% of his points coming from balls compared to 32% for Stairs, 33% for Zinman, 34% for LJ and even 28% for the bottom of the table Dingle! To me that maybe shows he is a better predictor overall but those bonus points do add up and make a difference, and this is shown when you look at who scores on the most games where we see Blue top of that with a record 10 games scoring points last week and he was the one who held the previous record at 8 games, he just needs to choose his games better to play his balls on. Of course I could be wrong especially when you take into account that Blue also has the lowest scoring games/week record with 2 positive scores in weeks 3 and 7, a record he shares with Dingle who only had 2 scoring games in weeks 5 and 7.
In terms of the individual balls Zinman leads the way on the Gamball with 17 points, Stairs is best on the Bonus with 21 points and he is joint top with Dingle on the Scoreball with 5 points. No surprise either that Stairs is second only to Derby with correct scores, Derby has 9 and Stairs has 8, this equates to 13% of games predicted for Derby and 11% for Stairs.

After last week's easy set of fixtures, it seems I reverted to type by choosing some rather less predictable games. Surprisingly, nobody scored a maximum on the gamball(!), the bonus ball was a complete wipe out and 3 fixtures returned negative totals; Albion's draw blew 2 bonus balls with only 1 player predicting a draw, nobody saw Everton winning at Brentford and Wolves draw at Luton got 1 correct score but blew 2 more bonuses. Unsurprisingly this was the lowest scoring week so far with, for the first time this season, nobody reaching double figures.
AAA heads the table despite losing a gamball point thanks to 2 correct scores from his 4orrect predictions.Themaclad had the samescores/predictions breakdown as AAA but sits a point back as he lost out on his scoreball, the only player to get zero points from that ball.
Snooty and BaggieOne are together on 6 points with both of them also the only players to gain from the gamball which was one of Snooty's only 2 correct predictions. Apoint further back is Twerton while SCO and Sanjay sit at the foot of the table with just 3 points. The last 2 both played their scoreball on a nil nil draw meaning that their balls managed to lose them 5 points each.

Given the relatively small spread of scores there isn't mach positional change in the table this week with just AAA climbing into 2nd ahead of SCO. Twerton's early season form has deserted him, collecting just 15 points in the last 3 weeks, and his lead is down to just 2 points as the pack closes in. Sanjay remains some way behind the rest of the league and the reason lies in some stats.....
Our bottom 2 are really suffering with their balls - Sanjay now has a total of zero points from the 3 balls, with Themaclad gaining 2. In contrast Twerton still leads this particular table with 32 points. Sanjay also stands out in terms of correct scores. While he's in line with everyone for correct result predictions, he has 25 so far with everyone between 25 and 30, his failure to land correct results stands out. Sanjay has turned just 8% of his correct predictions in to correct scores, half the percentage of the next lowest and a clear contrast to Snooty who is up to 32%.
