Graphically all predictions are ordered by the average prediction. Shown are the average prediction as bars together with standard deviation as error bars in grey. The colored points mark the single predictions of the above mentioned sites.

For a better comparison we use the difference: $d(m):=\mathsf{rg}_{p}(m)-\mathsf{rg}_{38}(m)$ with $\mathsf{rg}_{p}(m)$ as the average prediction rank of team $m$ and $\mathsf{rg}_{38}(m)$ the rank of team $m$ after match day 38. This deviation from prediction, is a kind of measure, how well they have done! The larger $d$ the better they have performed, negativ $d$ means they have under performed, compared to the predictions. Sorting all teams accordingly from high $d$ to small $d$ is shown in the chart below.

On top are those teams which have over performed and on the bottom those which have under performed. To judge whether it is really over- or under performed so far, those errors must be taken into account. All teams which are placed within this error bars, i.e. from 3.-17. rank, are roughly in the rang one could expect.

So, the really positive surprising teams are Sheffield United and Burnley, the most disappointing teams are Watford, West Ham and Everton.

The chart with the best prediction ordered by means of smallest mean-average-error $d$, is shown below.

The two best predictions are the expert from lastwordonfootball.com LWF and the betting ranking covers.com COC.
