Prediction League 2021/22

[frogmiller]

Predictions

1. You will be choosing from 10/10 fixtures like last season. This worked well and did create good movement in the table.

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

3. Weekends, Midweek, the FA Cup and EFL cup games will form the structure of the fixtures.

4. There will be a maximum of 5 draws allowed from your 10 predictions. If you want to gamble each week on 5 draws paying more points then go ahead but, that isn't always the case.

5. The Prediction League will run for a full 46 fixtures and not when the Premiership finishes.

6. Games will be chosen from any seven days of the week but mainly from Saturdays. The reason being, the EFL have already included 7 full Tuesday night league fixtures. If you add to this any postponed games from the weekend due to the weather or any other issues etc, then there is no way we can just run with Saturday fixtures only. Please be vigilant for any midweek games being posted.

7. Total Goal Tally. This will remain but, is reduced from last season's 10 points down to 5, (see explanation below, number 3).


The Scoring of Points:

1. Every fixture you get correct either Home or Away, is 1 point, unless you choose a fixture to be a draw, then you will receive 3 points for that. Predicting a fixture to be a draw is far harder than any home or away result so therefore is duly awarded the extra 2 points.

2. Get all 10/10 predictions correct and you will gain a further 10 bonus points. This is very hard to predict but, GristToTheMill showed us last season this was achievable so, I feel the bonus is warranted.

3. Total Goal tally - get the total number of goals scored correct, from all 10 fixtures only, and you will receive a further 5 points.
It was noted last season that some entrants were winning the extra 10 points for correctly predicting the correct goal tally score and beating others, who had submitted a full 10/10 predictions so, to share a good balance this is why it is now a maximum of 5 points.

4. Get all 10/10 fixtures and the total goals scored correct and you will win a further 30 points on top of your prediction score. This I feel may never be achieved throughout the season hence the large reward.

5. The Joker. One 'Joker' bet will be allowed per person for the season. Simply pick a week you wish to play your Joker and you double your points on that day only. Some may score loads of points while others may be glad they played their Joker that day, as they may well have scored very low.

This is a new added bonus which makes it more interesting. I will keep tabs on a weekly basis who has played their Joker and will look to keep others up to date who haven't so, they don't forget.

6. Highest scorer(s) on the day will receive an extra 5 bonus points. This is on predictions only and does not include the goal tally bonus.

Straight into it and there is no goal tally bonus winner as a whopping 39 goals were scored!

Good numbers again this weekend as 28 of us entered and there are quite a few movers.

Jokers: No one played their joker. Maybe when you see next weekends fixtures, someone might be brave enough to set the ball rolling on this?

Highest score: Football results change everything and the man at the bottom last weekend, shoots up the table as he was the only one of us to hit double figures. Well done Grumpy King of the West for scoring 10 points and you also bag the extra 5 points for being the weekly winner.

Goal Tally Bonus: No winners.

Wooden Spoon(s): There is only one winner this weekend and it goes overseas to the one and only CAMiller, who scored 3 points.
Keep up the good work Ericslad as you've not won one yet

No change at the top but the pack is tightening up nicely with PokerMillersSwinton edging himself into 3rd place. Also, despite SurferRosa not posting he still stays off the bottom leaving clarkey1974 looking up. Early days clarkey and it will all change throughout the course of the season.

Games played Sat 21st August.

First thing to note, no goal tally bonus winner as 31 goals were scored in total. We can thank the Forest Green v Crawley game for that finishing 6-3

No shows: Ackworth and SurferRosa. I will keep their names involved as they may well return.

Jokers: Two took the plunge and I bet one wished he hadn't as he only returned 4 points using his Joker! It did stop him though from sharing a spoon so there was some good to come out of it.

Highest score: Well work this one out. MillerNez asked me to place his predictions using the odd numbers for home wins and the even numbers for draws and yes you've guessed it, he came out on top with the highest score and he didn't even see the matches to choose from! You couldn't make it up . He also picks up the extra five points for being the highest score this weekend which propels him to the top of the table, if only he'd have played his Joker.....good job he didn't for the rest of us!
Four more of us hit double figures scoring 12, 11 and x two 10 points respectively.

Goal Tally Bonus: No winners.

Wooden Spoon(s): This overseas thing seems to have caught on as CAMiller sends it south down the coast to CTMilller for only scoring 2 points. Us in Blighty don't mind if you want to keep it over there chaps

The top of the table now shows a new leader in MillerNez well done Sir. Thing is how long can he stay on top?

clarkey1974 climbs off the bottom of the table courtesy of SureferRosa's no show.

Now there's been some Jokers used, will we see more next weekend? Whatever happens, here's your updated table to see where you all are.
