    It's time for the third reveal of the game!



    This week we were looking for those teams that will have kept a clean sheet in at least one of their first three matches. As always, team questions leave big point gaps between right and wrong answers so let's see who the winners and losers are this time! Starting, as always, with the losers...

    Incorrect Answers:

    1) Starting in alphabetical order we have this team. Probably the most solid defence last year has turned into a bit of a sieve this year, topped off with their captain sent off in the last game and letting WBA score their first 2 of the season. Luckily they've got a pretty decent midfield and attack to offset this...

    Incorrect Answer - Chelsea
    SAFC83
    TommyToonAA



    2) This team are definitely a delight to watch at times; their mentality of attack, attack, attack means it's great for a neutral but not so good for anyone who thought they'd have a clean sheet so far...

    Incorrect Answer - Leicester City
    Cisse's Overheating Torso
    El Marko



    3) Choosing a newly promoted team for this question was always going to be a bit risky (although they did play away at Sunderland so maybe it was a calculated risk). They've been impressive but no clean sheets...

    Incorrect Answer - Norwich City
    Karljay
    TJR



    4) I was surprised more people didn't choose this team considering some of their fixtures...

    Incorrect Answer - Spurs
    LaFraise92


    5) Traditionally thought of as a solid defensive bunch, they've started to turn towards European/South American flair type players. Maybe that explains why they're not a correct answer...

    Incorrect Answer - Stoke City
    Alfie
    DimiNUFC
    Frank Dialogue
    Having A Good Time



    6) Why... why... why...

    Incorrect Answer - Sunderland
    Less Hope Than Neville


    We will get our points at the end of the reveal. Now onto the winners of this round.

    Correct Answers

    1) So our most popular answer is a team for whom Premiership survival is the be all and end all this year if they don't want to be financially crippled next year. They started well with a clean sheet and a victory at Arsenal but have conceded 6 in their last 2 games. That opening day was enough for these 5 players though...

    Correct Answer - West Ham United
    Beatski
    BobbyD
    In Biscsan We Trust
    KWW1958
    Sebb's Campaign Manager



    2) Next we have a team that I guess people chose because of the manager because their fixtures were vs Chelsea, Man City and @ Watford. No matter, the gamble paid off when this team held Watford to a goalless draw in gameweek 2...

    Correct Answer - West Bromwich Albion
    B4E
    CheikyTiote
    Yacob



    3) You'd think that missing your 2 first choice centre backs against a Champions League place rival would have been a disaster but it would appear not. Wait until they play the might of NUFC this weekend...

    Correct Answer - Arsenal
    Don Sholeone
    Radioheed



    4) Another goalless draw this previous week, following up from a 3-0 home defeat the previous match, means that this team became our 4th correct answer of this question...

    Correct Answer - Southampton
    Bodacious Benny
    Nolberto's Salsa Inferno



    5) The first of 3 aces this round is a team that I mentioned in the previous answer. A very impressive 3-0 win away at Southampton meant this player hit the jackpot...

    Correct Answer - Everton
    Beardface


    6) Shame on everyone else. Only one person had the faith...

    Correct Answer - Newcastle United
    Albert's Chip Shop


    7) Finally, with one of the players of the year so far in their little winger and keeping a clean sheet vs us it's been a decent start for this Welsh team...

    Correct Answer - Swansea City
    CryMeARiviere


    Congratulations all! Now onto the scores...

    So those of us with incorrect answers receive 12 points (SHEEP score of 5 [West Ham United] plus 7 correct answers) which leaves a lot of movement in the table.

    The top of the table is looking scarily similar to last season which should give B4E the chance to not completely buckle under the pressure whereas the bottom should definitely remove any fears about me cheating in my own game <wah>

    Thanks for playing and we'll see you all next week!

    Fancy you lot all picking West Ham as well! Although I thought they'd keep a cleans sheet v Bournemouth and the other team (Leicester?) rather than arsenal <laugh>

    I'm carrying you. It's embarrassing. If it wasn't for the alphabet you'd be kissing my backside again.

    1 point was owning to you
    1 place is owning to me <whistle>

    Saying that, I might be in trouble after next weeks after looking at who I predicted to be top 6 after 4 games <doh>
