This simple, free-to-play game challenges participants to forecast the outcomes of seven selected top-flight matches each week.
Substantial Cash Prizes and League Features
Players have the opportunity to secure a significant £1,000 weekly prize by correctly predicting match results, with the option to select a home win, away win, or draw for each fixture. For those with long-term ambition, an impressive £5,000 seasonal prize awaits the overall champion who accumulates the highest points total across the entire campaign.
The game also incorporates a social dimension through its league functionality. Participants can either create their own private or public leagues or join existing ones, enabling direct competition against friends, family, or colleagues to definitively prove whose football knowledge reigns supreme.
Gameweek 23 Fixture List and Expert Analysis
This weekend's action commences with a trio of Saturday 3pm kick-offs: Aston Villa hosting Leeds United, Brentford facing Brighton & Hove Albion, and Chelsea taking on Burnley. The schedule continues with Bournemouth's 5.30pm trip to West Ham United, followed by Manchester City welcoming Newcastle United in the evening 8pm fixture.
Sunday's proceedings begin with Nottingham Forest versus Liverpool at 2pm, culminating in the weekend's headline event: the fiercely contested North London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal at 4.30pm.
Tom Collomosse's Expert Predictions
Daily Mail Sport's expert analyst for this gameweek is Tom Collomosse, who has provided his detailed verdict on the upcoming matches. Reflecting on recent events, Collomosse noted Arsenal's late stumble at Wolverhampton Wanderers, which raised questions about their title credentials, yet he maintains his summer forecast that Manchester City will ultimately finish top.
"I'm backing Arsenal to steady the ship after two consecutive draws with a victory in the North London derby," Collomosse stated. "However, City should apply pressure by defeating a Newcastle side that consistently appears less formidable away from St James' Park."
Regarding other fixtures, Collomosse predicts: "Leeds' visit to Villa Park seems a routine home win for Unai Emery's side, which would sustain their slender title aspirations, but I anticipate Daniel Farke's men might secure a draw. Nottingham Forest, holding a three-point advantage over West Ham in the relegation battle, could both earn a point against Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively."
He added: "Brentford's encounter with Brighton and Chelsea's clash with Burnley appear to be banker home wins."
