Beat The Manager Leaderboard, Gameweeks 1-3: See Where You Rank

Now that the international break has ended, we’ve had some time to play catch-up and to calculate the number of points everyone has achieved during the first weeks of the Premier League season in EPL Talk’s Beat The Manager game.

We’re entering gameweek 4 this weekend, so if you haven’t made your predictions yet, make them tonight. The deadline closes at 6:30am ET/11.30am BST on Saturday morning.

And if you haven’t played the game before, there’s still time to register and play. Players scores will be weighted so you have a chance to win even if you’ve just joined. But the longer you play, the better your chances.

At the end of gameweek 6, the person in first place in the leaderboard will receive a brand-new Apple iPad 3.

Here are the top 40 players so far:
