| Premier League Week 12 Preview |
1:55 PM ET on 11/6/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Jay Soester and Brad Duff for earning
top-billing in week 11 of Premier League Pickem with 28 points. Nathan
Susanto was one point adrift in third, while Skip Wilson,
Mark Yothers and Jeremy Fritsch tied on 25 points in equal
fourth. Soester selected the most correct picks (8), while
nine participants predicted one perfect game.
There was a strong showing from the participants in week
11, with its average per pick made of 2.322 points ranking
it second this season. Every participant backed Manchester
City to defeat Norwich and the league leaders came through
with a 2-1 victory. However, Bournemouth at Southampton
produced the greatest yield of the week, with the fixture
giving up a 1.92 points average. The West Ham at Watford
fixture had the lowest points average of the week (0.22)
and only two participants predicted Watford's shock
triumph.
Andrew Maher maintained his 21-point lead at the top of
the overall standings. With 11 weeks gone, Maher (257) leads
Skip Wilson and Dario Ambrozewiez (both 236), while Steve
Steffy and Mark Yothers (both 227) are tied in fourth
place.
Week 12's slate includes the North London derby between
Arsenal and Tottenham, while top meets bottom as
Manchester City visit Aston Villa.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 12's schedule begins on Saturday with a 7:45
AM ET clash, followed by five 10 AM ET kickoffs. The final
game of the day begins at 12:30 PM ET game. Sunday has
three fixtures; the first starts at 8 AM ET; the week
concludes with two 11 AM ET matches.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.

| Premier League Week 11 Preview |
2:48 PM ET on 10/30/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Charles Yelverton on top-scoring in
Premier League Pickem in week 10. Yelverton notched 34 points, the second best
score of the season, while Brad Duff earned the runners-up
spot with 27 points. Fred Lasso (25), Andy Nemecek and
Nathan Susanto (both 24) rounded out the top 5. Yelverton
and Duff made the most correct picks (7), while Yelverton
excelled with the most perfect games (4).
It was a decent week for the participants, with week 10's
average per pick made of 2.044 ranking fifth for the term.
Participants were unanimous in their backing of Tottenham
and Spurs recorded a 5-1 victory over Bournemouth.
However, the fixture that yielded the highest points
average was Everton at Arsenal. The Gunners won 2-1 and
that led to a 2.36 points average. Meanwhile, no
participant predicted a Watford victory and the Hornets
shocked Stoke to win 2-0. This resulted in the lowest
points average of the week, 0.03, the joint-second lowest
of the season.
Andrew Maher still occupies top spot of the overall standings with a quarter of the season in the books.
Maher (234) leads Dario Ambrozewiez (213) by 21 points,
with Skip Wilson (211) just two points further back. Steve
Steffy (206) and George Brady (204) complete the top 5.
Maher has gained the most correct picks (50) and perfect
games (16).
Arguably the most intriguing matchup this weekend kicks
off week 11's slate; Liverpool, led by Jürgen Klopp, the
self-proclaimed "Normal One", clashes with Chelsea, who
has the self-styled "Special One" José Mourinho at the
helm.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 11's schedule starts on Saturday with a 8:45 AM ET
kickoff. There are then six 11 AM ET games. Sunday has two
fixtures; the first beginning at 8:30 AM ET, while the
second starts at 11 AM ET. The week concludes on Monday
with a 3 PM ET matchup.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.

| Premier League Week 10 Preview |
1:43 PM ET on 10/23/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Andrew Maher, who top-scored in week
9 of Premier League Pickem with 32 points. Steve
Steffy's 30 points earned him the runners-up spot, while
Tom Vobejda, David Cords (both 26) and Skip Wilson (25)
rounded out the top 5. The leading five members all logged
the most correct picks (7), while Maher, Steffy and Dario
Ambrozewiez predicted the most perfect games (2).
Week 9's average per pick made was 2.226 points, ranking
second behind week 5's benchmark. There was universal
agreement that Arsenal would beat Watford and Manchester
City would defeat Bournemouth and the Gunners and Citizens
didn't let down their backers. The Arsenal at Watford
fixture yielded a week high 2.19 points average, while
Aston Villa at Chelsea (2.06) was the only other game to
break the 2-points average barrier. Meanwhile, Stoke at
Swansea produced a week-low 0.33 points average, with Brad
Duff the only participant to correctly select a Stoke
victory.
Andrew Maher's week win strengthened his position at the
top of the overall
standings. Through nine weeks, Maher has accumulated
215 points, the only participant so far to break the
200-point barrier. Dario Ambrozewiez sits in second place
on 192 points, with Skip Wilson (190) in third and Steve
Steffy and George Brady (both 189) tied in fourth.
There are two big derbies in week 10 at either end of the
current league standings. At the top, league leaders
Manchester City take on third-placed Manchester United;
while at the foot of the table, Newcastle (18th) make the
short trip to last-placed Sunderland.
Remember to make your Premier
League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week
10's schedule begins on Saturday with five 10
AM ET kickoffs, followed by a 12:30 PM ET game. Sunday has
four fixtures, the first beginning at 8 AM ET; there are
two 10:05 AM ET matches and the slate is completed by a
12:15 PM ET encounter.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.

| Premier League Week 6 Preview |
5:27 AM ET on 9/19/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Phil Woo, who top-scored in week 5 of Premier League Pickem with an impressive 37
points. Steve Steffy was close behind on 33 points, while
Andrew Maher (31) and Mark Yothers (30) were the other
members to crack the 30-point barrier. Joe Hiegel, Andy
Nemecek and Dario Ambrozewiez (28) were all tied for
fifth. Woo's fine total came on the back of the most
correct picks (8), while Woo, Maher and Yothers all
secured three perfect games.
Week 5's average per pick made was 2.339 points, creating
a new benchmark for the season. The fixture the
participants agreed upon the most was Manchester City at
Crystal Palace, with just one person not backing City.
However, the match with the best yield was Tottenham at
Sunderland, with the fixture giving up a 2.06 points
average. Chelsea's defeat at Everton drew the lowest
points average, with the game garnering just 0.56 points
on average.
Andrew Maher has returned to the top of the overall standings. With five weeks in the books, Maher has
amassed 121 points, with Joe Hiegel and Mark Yothers ten
points behind on 111 points. Phil Woo (109) and Dario
Ambrozewiez (106) complete the top 5. Joe Hiegel has
selected the most correct picks (25), while Maher has
notched the most perfect games (10).
In week 6, champions Chelsea hope to get back to winning
ways when they entertain Arsenal. Meanwhile, current
leaders Manchester City's quest to maintain their 100%
winning start to the campaign continues against West Ham.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 6's schedule begins on Saturday with a 7:45 AM
ET match, with five 10 AM ET kickoffs to follow. The day
ends with a 12:30 PM ET game. Sunday has three games, the
first beginning at 8:30 AM ET and the week's final two
fixtures start at 11 AM ET.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.

| Premier League Week 5 Preview |
4:07 PM ET on 9/11/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congratulations to Phil Mila, who for the
second week running led the way in Premier League Pickem.
In week 4, Mila notched 26 points, six points more than
runner-up John Watson. Steve Steffy (19) was third, while
Dario Ambrozewiez, Greg Krause, Skip Wilson and Phil Woo
were all tied on 18 points. Mila accumulated the most
correct picks (6), while George Brady and Mark Yothers
collected the most perfect games (2).
Week 4 was by far the worst showing so far this season for
the participants, with the average per pick made down to
1.585. Manchester City hosting Watford proved to be the
favorite fixture for the participants, with every logged
pick backing the early league leaders, who ran out 2-0
winners. The points average of 2.81 was easily the highest
yield of the week, with Arsenal at Newcastle next on the
list, which gave up a 2.36 points average. Nobody
predicted Crystal Palace's victory over Chelsea (0.17),
nor did anyone foresee Manchester United falling to defeat
at Swansea (0.25). However, the game with the lowest
points average this week was West Ham at Liverpool, where
the visitors won 3-0. The fixture yielded just a 0.11
point average and Gianfranco Lintas was the sole member to
back the Hammers.
After two successive week wins, Phil Mila has usurped
Andrew Maher at the top of the overall standings. Mila has amassed 92 points, with Maher
now two points adrift. Joe Hiegel (83) is third, while
Mark Yothers (81) and Skip Wilson (80) round out the top
5. Mila has accrued 19 correct picks and has eight perfect
games under his belt.
It's still very early days but week 5 of the 2015-2016
English Premier League season serves up a top of the table
clash, with leaders Manchester City taking their perfect
record down to the capital to meet second-placed Crystal
Palace.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 5's schedule starts on Saturday with a 7:45 AM ET
kickoff. There are then five 10 AM ET games. Saturday's
final meeting is at 12:30 PM ET. Sunday's lineup has an
8:30 AM ET clash and a 11 AM ET fixture. The week
concludes on Monday with a 3 PM ET matchup.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.

| Premier League Week 4 Preview |
5:21 AM ET on 8/29/15 by Nathan Susanto |
Congrats to Phil Mila, who top-scored in week 3 of Premier League Pickem, accumulating 28 points.
Joe Hiegel was just one point adrift to claim the
runners-up spot, while David Cords was third with 26
points. Skip Wilson (25) and Andrew Maher (24) rounded out
the top 5. A total of eight competitors reached the
20-point mark, slightly down on last week. Mila and Hiegel
had the most correct picks (6) and Mila the most perfect
games (3).
Week 3's average per pick made was 1.855 points, down from
last week but slightly higher than week 1's mark. No game
was unanimously backed by all participants, but a Chelsea
victory attracted all but one person, with the Blues
obliging in a narrow 3-2 win over West Brom. The game's
2.00 points average was the week's highest. Meanwhile,
nobody reckoned on Bournemouth notching their maiden top
flight victory at West Ham, with the Cherries' 4-3 triumph
only yielding a 0.03 points average.
For the third week running, Andrew Maher (79) has a
seven-point cushion at the top of the overall standings.
Joe Hiegel (72) slots into second place this week, while
David Cords and Nathan Susanto (both with 67) are in a tie
for third. Phil Mila completes the current top 5. Maher
has selected the most correct picks (16), while Mila has
forecast the most perfect games (7).
In week 4, league leaders Manchester City will look to
extend their perfect start to the season when they host
promoted-club Watford.
Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of
each game. Week 4's schedule begins on Saturday with a 7:45 AM
ET match, with six 10 AM ET kickoffs to follow. The day
ends with a 12:30 PM ET game. Sunday has two games, the
first beginning at 8:30 AM ET and the week's final fixture
starts at 11 AM ET.
Here we preview the ten games in the upcoming week of the
English Premier League.
