2021-2022 Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 1 Update

Happy Monday, everyone! I'm delighted to be here with the first update for the new season. And what a thrilling first weekend of action it was! While I'm certainly not happy to see my beloved Leeds bottom of the table, I'm hopeful that teams will continue the attacking style that they showed in these first few matches. 

So, somewhat predictably we've got Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool in the top three slots, alongside West Ham and Everton. At the bottom, we've got new look Palace and recently promoted Norwich alongside Leeds. But it's early days, right? 

Promotion favorites Fulham are on top of the Championship, alongside QPR and the playoff hunters. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are off to a winning start in La Liga and Stuttgart are on top of the Bundesliga. Serie A will start next weekend. 

West Ham Rising collected one point for the first goal in the pool for correctly guessing that Michail Antonio would score his beloved West Ham's fourth goal against Newcastle. Man Utd had loads of fun playing against my freewheeling Leeds defense, so Bruno Fernandes is top of the goalscoring chart with three and Paul Pogba is top of the assists chart with four from the same match. A number of keepers, including Alisson and Edouard Mendy, who some of us chose, racked up a clean sheet over the weekend. 

That all means that our friend The Saint has jumped out to an early lead with 32 points. Here are the current standings: 

1. The Saint - 32 points 

2. Red Devil - 30 pts

-  Swansong - 30 pts 

4. The Bee's Knees - 29 pts

-  Teddy Goalesvelt - 29 pts

7. Blue Devil - 26 pts

8. What's Up Wheaton Simon - 23 pts

9. Red Dragon - 20 pts

10. Man Utd Rules - 19 pts

-  Someone Said - 19 pts

-  West Ham Rising - 19 pts

-  Yellows - 19 pts

14. MOT the Hoople - 16 pts

16. Gooner71 - 13 pts
