Predictocomp 2022-23 WEEK 1

[griff]

Right, I’ve finished the fine-tuning and these are the final arrangements for the 2022/23 predictocomp.

This season I’ll pick games mainly from the 3 o’clock fixtures in the EFL but also some from the National League and FA Cup if necessary. As the season goes on I’ll look for interesting games in terms of league positions, local derbies and so on.

From the one group of 8 games predict the final scores of four and the results (H, A, or D) of the others. It’s your choice which. Postponed/abandoned games are lost so keep an eye on the weather forecast, covid cases, insolvencies and last-minute international call-ups. I’m only partly joking.

Correct results are worth a point, correct scores get three but if the score is wrong and you get the result right you’ll get a point for that. That’s about it really. I’ll compile a weekly table whichever way is easiest for me.

There is no entry fee but generous contributors have provided a prize pot for the winner which stands at £95. Nice. So, what you waiting for?

WEEK 1 (obviously)

Blackburn v QPR
Wigan v Preston NE
Bristol Rovers v Forest Green
Cambridge v MK Dons
Derby v Oxford
AFC Wimbledon v Gillingham
Bradford City v Doncaster
Stockport v Barrow

Haw Griff,

Point of clarity please, if you choose FA Cup games is it the score after 90 mins or in the case of ET, the full time score?

Blackburn v QPR 2-1
Wigan v Preston NE 2-0
Bristol Rovers v Forest Green 0-3
Cambridge v MK Dons 0-1
Derby v Oxford HW
AFC Wimbledon v Gillingham AW
Bradford City v Doncaster AW
Stockport v Barrow HW

& many thanks for doing this again & dont forget mine 😀

Points of clarity. If I choose FA Cup games it’ll be the 90 minute score. Also, you can choose any of the 8 games for your scores, not just the first 4. I accept changes up to kick-off time, just make it obvious.

Cheers, difficult the first few weeks till things settle a bit so more of a lottery 😀

Ah ok - I’ll stick for now.

You can regard Griff as being the 'Sir Graham Brady', Chairman of the Predictocomp 2022 Committee.
