Scenery prize for week 3 goes to @meatandtaterpie.bsky.social who landed somewhere on the slopes beneath this chunk of rock in the Italian Alps

Lazio did not score (and conceded 6), so @dukeofhazzard93.bsky.social will win the round

with week 3 drawing to a close @dukeofhazzard93.bsky.social is the closest finisher currently, 172km east of the target. But goals for Lazio tonight could change the final standings

an early contender for this weeks most scenic location

No, you're ok. But there's a few games that start tonight so if you want those teams pick before they begin

Please send in your entries for the coming weekend. A fixture map (not particularly mobile friendly, sorry) is on the link above.

@benjicwood.bsky.social wins the most scenic location prize in week 2, landing somewhere in these wooded slopes in eastern France

The gameweek 2 winner, by a very comfortable margin, is @fplmog.bsky.social . Congratulations!

This will almost certainly win the round, though if things could get interesting if West Ham run amok later tonight

Hats off to @fplmog.bsky.social who with 4 goals at Brentford, 2 in Bilbao, 3 in Stuttgart and a blank for Napoli has finished within 11km of the pin

Fixtures for next weekend (gameweek 3) are up on the dashboard if you want to have a look. I will keep the pin position in Paris for now. There will be a pause after week 4 as some of the leagues take a break and then hopefully back in January at some point when the fixtures allow.

one of the first to finish this week is @meatandtaterpie.bsky.social - 537km from Paris, but he has landed near a dog in the closest streetview image

How many goals there were in the plan?

Hi Luke. For each goal your teams score I log the latitude and longitude of the ground they are scored in. All the latitudes are summed, and the longitudes are summed, and then these figures are divided by your total goals to give a mean average latitude and longitude.

you can pick now if you avoid inter and parma who are already underway

As gameweek 2 begins, here is possibly the most scenic finishing position from gameweek 1, where @barblahblah.bsky.social pitched into this idyllic location in northern Switzerland (albeit 428km from the pin)

You are the first to choose them

Sorry, Schalke are not currently in the top division, you'll need a different German team
