Original post; Overall predictions; Last update
Here are the standings after the weekend's games. Somehow, every single team except Liverpool (who I imagine are staying put for a while) has changed position! There's a lot to unpick here, with the "bad" changes for us outweighing the "good" - as you can maybe work out from those people whose score hasn't changed, but whose rank has gone up. We've lost about two points each, with several teams giving nearly a full column of zeros. Another notable position is Man City in fourth, lower than any of us put them (there were 10 predictions putting them third).
As with last season, I'm colouring things in green or tan to show if they've got better or worse. Very mixed in terms of who's done what in the top 50 - makes sense, given the massive amount of changes up and down the table.
Also as before, the "5s", "4s" etc. columns are the tie breakers (relevant numbers in bold black, unused ones in grey) to separate those equal on points. Loads of ties again this time, probably as an effect of how many zeros there are around.
Well done to our top 3 of u/BackpackingScot, u/markkf and u/E-Colerado, we'll see if you're still there after the international break!

Am I the only one that thinks that these weekly posts are not very interesting/useful?

Probably not! I guess it's more interesting for those who are in it.
I've never especially said what I think the aim of the posts are in an FPL-related sense, but partly it's to show which teams might be under- or over-performing compared to how you/people in general thought they would. For example, I can never get it out of my head that Bournemouth aren't really that good for some reason... so I almost never seem to have Callum Wilson in my team. In reality, they're doing pretty well - especially compared to say, Southampton, the team I predicted to finish directly above them

It's just so thinly Fpl related, I guess it would better fit the PL subreddit. Also, the points do not add up, they change every week, so they do not even reflect anything. These people guessed the end result not the W13 result. Teams will have different set of fixtures til the rest of the season, so it does not really make sense to look at it every week. Whatever. Vote me down, it's just a bit boring because every time I see this table I think it's some kind of Fpl analysis and it gets my hopes up...

That's fair - if it were more active (or if I used it) I'd probably put it there instead. I wouldn't be able to do it as a post on r/soccer either by their rules, but the same applies to there.
I'm not sure what you mean about points not adding up/changing every week though, because they'll do that in anything related - including in FPL and the league table itself, but yeah you're right about fixtures and so on. These updates just give a rough indication of what's going on so far and how things might end up.
It's not me voting you down :) in any case I'll carry on adding a "community" flair as soon as these go up, to differentiate them from stats or analysis. Those are definitely the more useful posts on the sub, and I'm glad people do them

Sheffield fucking everyone
And Spurs! Until they get into the top half, nobody scores anything for them either. Both columns are literally 270 zeros at the moment
