Premier League Round 2: How the Picks Stacked Up

Round 2 is underway for Premier League now that the pick window has closed. Here's what everyone went with.

Last Man Standing

Opinion was more divided this round; the top pick, Manchester United, only accounted for 47% of selections.

It wasn't a one-team show, either — also fancied: Liverpool (20%), AFC Bournemouth (13%), Manchester City at 5%.

Safety nets were barely needed this round, with just 0% of players opting to use one. That's about level with last round's 0% — safety net usage is holding steady.

Home advantage carried weight too: 90% of picks backed the home side in their fixture.

65% of the teams in action this round picked up at least one vote — a healthy spread of opinion.

The rest is up to the pitch — check back once results are in.
