The new season will soon be upon us, (Sept 12th) so, I thought I would give you all a heads up on a few ideas I'm pondering with the scoring.

I am more than happy and willing to put the time and effort in to continue running the next Prediction League, if everyone's in favour of me doing so.

At certain points and times last season, the league became cramped and was beginning to be boring, with a lot of players on almost the same scores. For that reason I'm looking to run a new points scoring system that will hopefully prevent that from reoccurring throughout next season.

Predictions

1. You will have to pick 10/10 and not 5 from 10 fixtures. This will hopefully see a few break away leaders from the off.

2. The fixtures will come from all four English divisions.

3. Midweek, FA Cup, EFL cup games will also form part of the fixtures.

4. The 'total goal tally' will remain but with a new added bonus.

The Scoring of Points:

1. Every fixture you get correct is 1 point, unless you choose a fixture to be a draw, then you receive 3 points for that, see Point 5.

2. Get all 10/10 and you will gain a further 20 points = 30 points in total. This is a big bonus but is also very hard to predict so, I feel the bonus is warranted.

3. 'Total goal tally' - get the total number of goals scored correct, from all 10 fixtures, and you will receive a further 10 points.
Considering I will be mixing the fixtures from all 4 divisions, it will make it extremely hard to get this correct on many occasions. It is harder to get 10/10 rather than just picking a random number for the total number of goals scored and getting it right but, I am trying to incentivise the bonuses from all angles in order to split players scorings so we are not all clumped together. We will all have the chance to win these bonus points, so it's a fair playing field.

4. Get all 10/10 AND the total goals scored correct and you will win a whopping straight 50 points! This I feel may never be achieved throughout the season hence the massive reward.

5. Predict a fixture to be a draw - IF the result is a draw you get 3 points not 1. Again a big one to call but deserves the reward for calling out a draw.

Many points to ponder over, what do you all think?
