Just seen that Brentwood-Southend tomorrow is now listed as a 13:00 start (weather permitting) so get your picks in quick. It's too late to change it now as it'd be unfair on the six people who've made their guesses already.

Sorry, I always try to avoid Saturday lunchtime games but all the usual sources I check still had it down for 3 o'clock when I looked on Wednesday night.

You're getting this a bit earlier today since I'm off out soon and am not sure if I'll be back in time for the men's Champions League highlights let alone anything else. Unfortunately the above pick for Southend is void since Brentwood posted the result on their social media at 3:08pm so the tie was well underway when Stinky's post was made. Nobody thought there'd be eight goals there anyway, and all it meant was that he was the weekly worst performer in the table by three clear points instead of two.

If I was going to include a lunchtime game it'd have been the Merseyside derby... but then the storm put paid to that one too. We also lost Ipswich-Bournemouth to the weather even though the equivalent men's fixture went ahead at Portman Road that same afternoon. If it had been played in midweek then guesses would still have counted but it's been rearranged for this coming Sunday so all picks are rendered void there as well.

Tenth match should probably have been the women's Edinburgh derby but sadly the SFA isn't as helpful as its English counterpart when it comes to making round dates clear over the summer. Aside from all that, Vegeta got his D2D bet wrong but only four of the other eight participants wagered against him correctly to claim their bonus points. He still leapfrogs Gooner despite that since the latter sat out another round – albeit the gap is just a single point.

Other bonuses went to people who foresaw a typically hilarious Spurs collapse at home to Chelsea, with MVP RULZ the only player to get both types of bonus, enough to put him into double figures and make him top scorer for the round. At the summit, Tilde now leads by 21 over ultimo after extending his advantage slightly. Wins for Villa, Brentford and Fulham's women were generally good for one-pointers, but a draw at Craven Cottage proved less fruitful while Lazio's second victory over Napoli in four days (in different competitions) caught most people out and Oldham's surprise loss at Stockton caused a dud outcome. 

The next set of 10 will feature the last matchday of the FPL Cup group stage plus more knockout action from north of the border. That'll be up in the opening post in just a tick.
