Well we already know the winner of the leave as we wait for the rest to battle their way to the first 4 teams.
Not sure what you mean by that, the player that is currently first is not eligible for the prize as he did not join during the first 2 gameweeks, he just ninja'd his way in there randomly.
#1 to #8 are only 104 points apart with a double gameweek coming up in 2 weeks, its going to get pretty exciting to see who wins first prize of 30% of the rewardpool which is over 1000 Steem right now.
