Your “counting” system is somewhat flawed Howoldboy.. is that across the top 4 score section only or across all games & therefore you are including the bottom 4 where the score is irrelevant.

One last point is that 167 score is based on a 1-0 scenario… does it take into consideration 0-1 for example and home / away is also an option?
"Somewhat flawed" you say BDB. "Somewhat flawed". How very dare you!

Let me try to be clearer.

Chalky is suggesting he submits a weekly selection that looks like this:-

1-0
1-0
1-0
1-0
H
H
H
H

By my calculations if he had done that every week this season he would be on 167 points.

That is because in total (across the entire 8 games Griff has selected each week) there have been 125 home wins this season.

125 x 1 = 125 points.

However, within those 125 home wins, 21 games in the scores section finished 1-0, thereby generating an additional 42 points (21 x 2 = 42 points).

125 + 42 = 167 points.

Alternatively you can do the calculation as follows:-

21 games in the scores section ended 1-0. Each of those was worth 3 points. 21 x 3 = 63 points.

Excluding those 21 games from the 125 games in total that were home wins (on the basis that we have already awarded each of those 21 games 3 points) there have been 104 other home wins (125 - 21 = 104) which were worth 1 point each. 104 x 1 = 104 points.

63 + 104 = 167 points.

Either way it comes to 167 points.
