Prediction League thoughts/ideas for the 2024/2025 season?

I like CTs suggestion of 5 points for a sole predict a score winner and the usual 2pts (or 3?) if there's more than one winner. This would also double, treble etc. on the roll overs just like before.

I can see the conundrum over allowing free reign on draws due to the fact that people might just go for 10. The only way that could be curtailed (and it would complicate the scorers job immensely) would be to introduce a penalty score of e.g. -1 for every draw prediction that was incorrect. e.g. predict all 10 draws but only 3 are actual draws you would score just 2 in total (3x3=9 - 7 = 2).

I'd like to see the Joker double your entire score for the week not just your predictions score.

Some interesting ideas as always. The negative scores for excess draws is a clever idea but feel it might get a bit complicated.

I’m fine with the joker doubling the players total score - not just the HAD predictions - but, as before, it should be clear that the 5 point bonus for highest score on the day is calculated on the score before the Joker ‘doubling’ is applied.

I wouldn’t object to the high score 5 point bonus also being doubled if won by somebody who plays their joker if that is what CAM had in mind.

Yes - the 5pt bonus should remain for being the best predictor of the 10 fixtures. Joker applied after everything so if you are best predictor and/or get the score bonus points then those also get doubled.

Just a suggestion,What about having the rotherham game as the correct score game,in that case we can still win even if we don’t get the score right.as a bit of compromise for those who want us in the game and me who doesn’t..
