I don't think it is. Two weeks is nothing. I could get next to zero points the following weeks. It won't be interesting until many rounds have passed arguably even months. It doesn't matter if you're at the bottom of the table for the next few weeks as you could just as easily turn it round with a good run (or even if higher up users have a bad run).
I got 0 - 2 in the Palace vs LFC match.
Oh, come on toke, you're way in there and even right now, the bottom (me) and the top doesn't have such a terrible gap to close. Round 1 2 guys managed to get 18 points or more so if I do that, I'll have almost closed the gap (heh heh).
As hilarious also stated in his first post, there are also weekly prizes for best predictions in that individual week. So even if you are way behind in last place, with no chance to win outright, you still have something to play for. Don't give up!
It's not really a weekly prize. Those prizes still won't be deiced until the end but it is for the top 5 users who have scored the highest points in a weekly round. It's just a way for users to have something still to play for if/when it becomes apparent they are very unlikely to get a top 5 spot on the leaderboard.
