So is everyone locking in Fixed Deals right now?

Octopus Energy comes out top for me on Uswitch at +279.46 and Yet the Energy Club doesn't show it at all, unless I scroll a couple of pages and it shows -£499.

What am I to believe in this minefield, and then there is cashback etc to try and factor in ? 

So it does "show at all" just a long way down the list... a nice feature would be to let you filter on specific provider(s) only or search explicitly for this kind of situation.

Any comparison site should show you the exact tariff it has based the comparison on, and from there you can see the exact price-per-unit and standing charge, etc, to check. It's possible you might have accidentally given different usage figures to different sites or it might be a genuine bug, or that some tariffs are not being included in searches.

Exact same usage figures for Energy club and Uswitch.

Both 2 year fixed.

They should show the exact name of the tariff - and the exact tariff details. I guess it could be that one site is using an out of date tariff, or has simply got a glitch when it read the details - no idea if this is automated or relies on a person importing the data!

You should be able to submit a bug though

My Octopus fixed deal ended about 6 months ago and I'm on their variable tariff. Whenever I check it appears I can't get a cheaper fixed deal at the moment.

Uswitch is Octopus Exclusive 24M Fixed September 2021 v2.   Energy Club is Octopus 24m Fixed September 2021 v3

Octopus 24m Fixed September 2021 v4 replaced v3 yesterday

Octopus Exclusive 24M Fixed September 2021 v2. is a current tariff, Electricity kwh rate very slightly cheaper than above tariff  - E 21.08 p/kW - Gas 4.91 p/kW based on my region

If you are getting Octopus Fixed 24m as cheapest you cannot have ticked box within Uswitch filters to show all tariffs including those cannot switch via Uswitch as there are plenty cheaper including EDF and E.ON Next direct
