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.

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.

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.

Premier League Week 3 Preview
2:13 PM ET on 8/21/15 by Nathan Susanto
In week 2 of Premier League Pickem, Dario Ambrozewiez, John Watson, Nathan Susanto and Joe Hiegel all top-scored with 29 points. Andrew Maher and Phil Woo were three points off the pace in a tie for fifth. In total, 16 participants reached the 20-point mark, 11 more than week 1. Ambrozewiez and Watson tied with the most correct picks (7), while Joe Hiegel and Phil Mila recorded the most perfect games (3).

There was a vast improvement on week 1's results, with the average per pick made increasing from 1.754 points to 2.159. Every pick logged for the Liverpool v Bournemouth fixture correctly predicted a home victory, with the 2.69 points average the best yield of week 2. The participants struggled to predict the result of Liverpool's local rival, though, with Everton's 3-0 win over Southampton only giving up a 0.11 point average. Dario Ambrozewiez was the only member to put his full faith in the Toffeemen.

Andrew Maher retains a seven-point lead in the overall standings with 55 points. Nathan Susanto has climbed to second, while John Watson occupies third with 46 points. Dario Ambrozewiez and Joe Hiegel sit in a tie for fourth having tallied 45 points. Maher, Watson and Mark Yothers have all notched the most correct picks to date (11), while Maher and Phil Mila have chalked up the most perfect games (4).

The only week 3 fixture that pitches two undefeated teams against each other sees early pace-setters Manchester City, who is one of only four clubs that have maintained a 100% record through two games, travel to Everton, who has opened their campaign with four points out of six.

Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of each game. Week 3's schedule starts on Saturday with a 7:45 AM ET kickoff. There are then five 10 AM ET games. Sunday's lineup has an 8:30 AM ET clash and two 11 AM ET fixtures. The week concludes on Monday with a 3 PM ET matchup.

Premier League Week 2 Preview
12:45 PM ET on 8/14/15 by Nathan Susanto
Congrats to Andrew Maher for top scoring in week 1 of Premier League Pickem. Maher notched 29 points, seven points clear of second-placed Patrick Cooley. A total of seven competitors reached the 20-point mark. Maher had the most correct picks (6) and most perfect games (2).

The opening week had a few surprise results but overall the competitors did quite well, averaging 1.754 points per pick made. Manchester City's 3-0 win over West Brom was the week's friendliest fixture, yielding a 3.22 point average and a 100% success record for the competitors. At the other end of the spectrum, Arsenal's 2-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham was one of the very few games in Premier League Pickem history to not give up a single point, with nobody predicting West Ham's win or the Hammers' two goals and cleansheet. No competitor predicted Swansea would share the spoils with Chelsea, either.

Week 2's marquee fixture is champions Chelsea's visit to Manchester City, who has secured two of the last four titles. Manchester United at Aston Villa and Leicester at West Ham are this week's only fixtures between teams that both won last weekend.

Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of each game. Week 2's schedule a Friday start, with the week's first game kicking off at 2:45 PM. Saturday's slate begins with a 7:45 AM ET match, with five 10 AM ET kickoffs following. Sunday has two games, the first beginning at 8:30 AM ET and the second starting at 11 AM ET.

Just seventy-six days after last season's final whistle, the 2015-2016 English Premier League kicks off.

Premier League Week 32 Preview
4:33 PM ET on 5/15/15 by Nathan Susanto
Chelsea might have already wrapped up the 2014-2015 English Premier League title and QPR's and Burnley's fate has been settled at the other end of the standings but the season is still alive for a number of clubs.

Hull City, currently occupying the third relegation spot, travels to Tottenham, while Newcastle, just one place above the drop zone, journeys to already relegated QPR. If there's a winner between Sunderland and Leicester, the victor will almost certainly secure their Premier League status.

At the other end of the table, Arsenal clashes with Manchester United in the battle to secure a top 3 finish, which would guarantee entry into next season's Champions League at the group phase.

Remember to make your Premier League Pickem predictions before the deadline of each game. Week 32's schedule begins on Saturday with a 7:45 AM ET kickoff, followed by five 10 AM ET games. The day's final match is at 12:30 PM ET. Sunday has two fixtures, the first at 8:30 AM ET and the second at 11 AM ET. There's a clash on Monday, beginning at 3 PM ET. Finally, the gameweek ends with a Wednesday contest at 2:45 PM ET.
