β½ Gameweek 4 Review
Question 1 (50 pts)
Q: Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 10 league games against Nottingham Forest. Will they keep a clean sheet again in Gameweek 4?
β
Correct Answer: Yes
Split: Yes β 62.9% | No β 37.1%
A comfortable performance from Arsenal β an easy 3β0 with Forest barely getting a look-in. The majority got it right again and had an early 50 pts in the bag.
Question 2 (50 pts)
Q: So far this season, 47% of matches have produced 3+ goals. With five games at 3pm Saturday, how many will finish with 3+?
β
Correct Answer: 3 or fewer
Split: 3 or fewer β 80% | 4 or more β 20%
Five games and only five goals β a very low scoring afternoon across the grounds. 80% of the community strolled to 50 points with another comfortable outcome.
Question 3 (50 pts)
Q: West Ham v Tottenham and Brentford v Chelsea are both on Saturday evening. Which match will feature more goals?
β
Correct Answer: Brentford vs Chelsea
Split: West Ham vs Tottenham β 45.7% | Brentford vs Chelsea β 37.1% | Same number β 17.1%
After a 0-0 first half between West Ham and Tottenham this one wasn’t looking good for 45.7% of the community. But then 3 goals in the 2nd half put them in a promising position ahead of the Chelsea game. But it wasn’t to be! 2 goals in the final 5 minutes of the Brentford vs Chelsea game made it 2-2 overall. A huge late swing β delight for the 37.1%.
Question 4 (50 pts)
Q: In their last 10 meetings with Burnley, Liverpool have scored 3+ five times. Will Liverpool score 3+ in GW4?
β
Correct Answer: No
Split: Yes β 60% | No β 40%
A 95β Salah penalty edged a surprisingly tight game 1β0. A big 50 points for the 40% of the community who went with No.
Question 5 (50 pts)
Q: When Man City face Man United in GW4, will City score 2 before United score 1?
β
Correct Answer: Yes
Split: Yes β 28.6% | No β 71.4% | Neither β 0%
One-way traffic in this one. City went 2β0 up in the 53rd minute and that was that. A big shock to over 70% of players who went No!
Question 6 (51 pts)
Q: This season, 20% of matches have ended level. How many games will finish as a draw in GW4?
β
Correct Answer: 3 or more
Split: 2 or fewer β 51.4% | 3 or more β 48.6%
The community was split down the middle in this one meaning a bonus point was in play! Two 0β0s at 3pm set the table; then Brentfordβs 93β equaliser against Chelsea nudged it over the line. Ecstasy for 48.6%, a dagger for 51.4%.
β
Question Determined in GW4 (Preseason)
First Manager to Leave (200 pts)
Q: Who will be the first manager to leave their current club?
β
Correct Answer: Any other manager | Split: 33.3% backed it
