easy peasy...lemon squeezy....Spreadsheets are wonderful tools. though I do worry when Duke has a GD of +43! But eh, you never know...I'm not knocking it.
Not to denegrate your efforts B & S, but I don't think I can be arsed to do all that, so I'm going 10th place finish with -8 goal difference. Maybe add a poll for finishing positions. Auto places Playoffs Top half Bottom half Relegated
Fair enough, I was, of course, conscious that it asks for more than the usual, trite stuff. Asking more questions means that the winner will be judged on his or her ability to predict City's outcomes. There will, also be unlikely to be more than one winner. Have a go if you want. It doesn't close until ko on the 5th.
