Prediction League

Gents

We are 2 weeks away from another season. I am more than happy to keep this Prediction League going, unless you all feel a change is needed.

I am thinking about the bonus points for next season. I am looking at having a weekly game from another league (which could be Non League) and 5 points would be awarded for the correct score only. Other than that, business as usual.

Thoughts?

 

Yeh. Can you make sure I do better than Gil this year. Happy to come to almost any arrangement you have in mind

 

Sounds good to me just happy for someone to carry it on as I don't have the computer skills but enjoy the taking part bit.

 

Great idea marra..... plenty of local non league teams to choose from
Darlo Pooly The Heed Blyth Shields Ashington Crook etc etc

 

Nice one for volunteering again mate you did a top job. I was clueless about the championship but I somehow know even less than that about league one so it's going to be a long series of stabs in the dark.

If you're doing a bonus game I'd like it to be whichever prem fixture looks the juiciest, add a bit of glamour.

 

Flanders, shall I miss the first 3 weeks predictions to give Burley a chance?.

PS, and thank you for volunteering your time.

 

Appreciate you volunteering again, looking forward to it whatever format, and despite that it will be guesswork for me !
Cheers mate

 

I will have a go this year. It takes the pressure off you lot coz I will finish bottom

I got my ar5e kicked at Fantasy football last season by my 9 year old nephew and his friends

 

I will take what comes and hopefully not miss any weeks this season..

 

In the past we got 2 points for a correct result and an extra 1 for the exact score.
I think that getting the exact score is far more difficult than getting the result right, so can I suggest that we get 2 points extra instead of 1 for the correct score, therefore doubling the points for getting the result right

Also, the 5 points for the first scorer could be changed to the first scorer for us, so that interest for that part could be maintained for longer if it takes us a while to score (and play games with my nerves for longer)

They're the only changes that I'd like, so that it's not too complicated 'cos this league's going to be difficult enough, Moll

. . . . or leave it as it is 'cos it's not broken

 

I like the old scoring way. Keeps early runaway leaders within touching distance. Other team forums on here have tried 4(2+2) points and a lot of interest was lost early into the season as it becomes boring as most of the league lose the chance of winning very quickly. Miss a few match days and it's over. There's always runaway leaders in this game. 4 point games are boring for anyone not directly competing with the leaders. excludes people quickly so loses players quickly. Up for anything that makes it more competitive but things that make it harder for the majority should be avoided imo.

 

Like both ideas if I hadn’t missed them two weeks I would of had it in the bag

 

That's what I thought . . . . how many points were you behind the champion again

 

A fewish.
