I?ve decided to start this on 9th August as that?s the first Saturday with a full EFL and NL programme. That gives you plenty of time to study form in the friendlies! Or maybe not.

I?m offering up a handy ?30 to kick off the prize pot. If anyone wants to add to it be my guest but, as ever, there?s no compulsion and no entry fee.

Same rules as last season, predict the scores of 4 games that I pick and the results of 4 more. That?s it really. I award points and produce a table. Winner at the end of the season (normally about 39 or 40 weeks) takes the pot.

Game on.
