- The matches are going to be coming thick and fast over the next month, yet this weekend was an easy to follow split of five matches per day.
- Only one of those five matches saw no usage with that being the early kickoff between Arsenal and Newcastle.
- Scott's pick Christian Benteke was up on an island for Crystal Palace against Aston Villa, a dangerous proposition ratings-wise without a goal. While the Belgian did get one good shot on target, it did not go in and his lack of usage in hold-up play for the Eagles left him with just a 6.9 in the end.
- Service issues also plagued Andrew's pick Raul Jimenez. The Wolves striker and his wingers misfired many a pass on the morning with just 67% of Jimenez's passes finding their mark. No shots on target in a goalless draw isn't going to get you more than a 6.5 most times as a center forward.
- Leeds/Brighton had the propensity to have a lot of fireworks in it however the sides' two goalkeepers put that notion in the ground. Despite another goalless draw, it wasn't the worst day for Daniel James (Matt) on the Leeds side with a 6.9 and Leandro Trossard (Ryan) and Solly March (Greg) on the Brighton side with dueling 7.0's.
- Nevertheless, top score of the week went to the most in-form right back in the country at the moment, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold. Trevor saw Liverpool's #66 record his seventh assist of the campaign as well as recording a clean sheet, just Trevor's second personal clean sheet in the game. A 7.3 is nice but it could have been bested had he looked a little further up the pitch.
- Optimally, Diogo Jota scored two of Liverpool's four goals against Southampton. He completed all of his dribbles and over 70% of his ground duels on his way to a smashing 8.7 rating in victory.
