Week 13 - We're Back (Again!)

With Chelsea and Arsenal drawing at home to lesser opponents, scores were not stellar, but some managed better than others. Week 12 scores:

Ray from Norfolk, Virginia 11 (3)
sammy dog 10 (2)
inthekcmix 6 (2)
hansdampf 6 (0)
unclf14 4 (0)
ClevelandJames 3 (0)
Geaux_HR 2 (0)

Stars of the week: Ray from Norfolk, Virginia scored 11 points, mostly due to 3 correct IKTS predictions, and sammy dog continues with recent good form with 10 points on two correct IKTS predictions, but the real star is inthekcmix who scored 6 points on 2 correct IKTS predictions despite missing all of the Saturday action, edging hansdampf on 6 points but zero correct IKTS predictions. The podium trio had a combined 7 correct IKTS predictions, and the rest (including Captain Kirk 3 who is very busy but says hello and good luck to all the other contestants) have a total of zero, zilch, nada.

Clever pick(s) of the week: Only sammy dog predicted a tie between Leicester at home to Burnley, collecting 2 points. Likewise, only hansdampf predicted a tie between Chelsea at home to Everton, also collecting 2 points. Even better, Ray from Norfolk, Virginia predicted the correct score for Southampton versus Watford, hauling 3 points, while all the other contestants predicted Watford to win the contest.

Crisis pick(s) of the week: A collective crisis it is, as nobody guessed the correct outcomes (never mind the correct scores) for three games, namely Cardiff-Brighton, Newcastle-Bournemouth, and Arsenal-Wolverhampton. This is a grand total of 9 points by contestant that were there for the taking. Well, could have been, should have been.
