Reply With QuoteLooks like Everton have added Yerry Mina to their squad. That puts their spending close to 90 million. He did well on set pieces at the World Cup, hard to tell how good he actually was in defense.

The new season is here for Wolves and so is another year of the Prediction League. Thought I'd do a quick refresher of the rules:
Posters will predict the score and the first WOLVES goalscorer of the match. Posters will receive 3 points for the correct result and score, 1 point for just the result and a "goal differential" for the correct goal scorer. Here is an example:
Wolves 1-0 Everton, Costa
If Wolves were to win 1-0, but Cavaleiro scores the goal, I would get 3 points. If Wolves won 2-1 and Costa scored the first goal, I would get 1.1. If Wolves won 2-0 and Costa was not the first goal scorer, I would get just 1 point. If Wolves lost or drew, but Costa scored our first goal, I would get 0.1.
It's pretty simple and easy. Anybody can participate and if you miss a match here or there, it's not a big deal!

On to the Everton match. Wolves open the Premier League season at home and it's a quality opponent. Wolves are actually going to be on national television for the first match on a network station, which is pretty cool. Hopefully it helps build up the fanbase here in the States. As for our opponent, Everton have a new manager and are looking to change up their style. Big Sam got results, but nobody liked watching because it was boring. They ended up 8th, just outside continental play. They brought in Marco Silva, who I think did a solid job in his past English positions at Watford and Hull. I imagine they'll be attempting to play a more modern, attractive style. They've spent alot of money on 2 players: Richarlison and Lucas Digne. Both quality IMO. I imagine they have some more on their way.
