- With just three games to choose from, it felt both odd and refreshing to see the Manchester United/West Ham fixture be the neglected one.
- With that being said, it was the first matchday in the Pick One thus far where every participant broke the 7.0 rating barrier.
- Brighton and Leicester provided ample returns for teams that don't get much international publicity with the underdog Seagulls taking home a big early season three points.
- Neal Maupay (Matt/Scott) scored from the penalty spot to bring home a 7.1 rating while Yves Bissouma (Trevor) excelled defensively with four clearances and three pass interceptions on his way to a 7.2.
- For Leicester, Youri Tielemans nearly got the Foxes back level by setting up Jamie Vardy for their first goal before having a couple other build-ups ruled out by VAR. The Belgian ended with the best possible score of a Leicester player with a 7.6.
- In the day's late contest, Chelsea ran rampant on Tottenham Hotspur by a 3-0 scoreline.
- Despite that unflattering scoreboard reading, Cristian Romero was still able to snare a 7.2 for Andrew in Spurs' defense. He completed 88% of his passes and made seven combined tackles, interceptions, and blocks including one that directly prevented Chelsea from making it 4-0.
- The lone Chelsea player taken, and top score earner, didn't even begin in the starting XI. N'Golo Kante (8.0) came on at halftime for Greg and scored a rare goal to help boost a statline with fantastic passing and tireless defending.
- Optimal score for the matchday was the only person who did better than Kante in the eyes of rating aggregators. Thiago Silva's 8.3 was on the merits of six clearances, a clean sheet, and the match's opening goal.
