Matchweek 1 Round-Up

So the Premier League 2026/27 Season has kicked off! We’ve had to survive a month or so with no football (although I was reliably informed the Scandi-leagues had kicked off a few weeks ago) but now we’re back testing our knowledge of the Premier League with our final score predictions.

This weeks highest scorer: Gavin Wilde

Gavin was the only player to get the final score of the bonus game (Everton v Crystal Palace) and therefore bags himself 5 sweet bonus points.

Highest Number of Perfect Scores: Scott Gilchrist

Scott managed to get 3 perfect scores in MW1, while 3 players got 2 perfect scores (Gavin, Shawn, and Josh), and 9 players got 1 perfect score (Danny, Des, Simon Ho, Adam, George, Jack, Luke, Alex, and Will.

The league table after this first matchweek looks like so;
