Here we go again....... New season, new manager, new players, new kits......the same old far-fetched dreams. The rules are simple and pretty much the same as last season though replacing the Qpr corner count bonus will be the Qpr Shots-on-target bonus, worth 3 points for each correct guess. 5 points for a correct scoreline. 2 points for a correct result. 3 points for correct S-O-T guess. Weekly predictions will usually consist of 6 matches, mostly from the English/British leagues with the odd foreign game thrown in for variety. I will be messaging participants through-out the season to select 6 matches for that weeks picks. I shall endeavor once again to up-date the standings table each week but forgive me if occasionally tardy. Any new players please join in, all are welcome, the more the merrier! So, can anybody topple resident champion Kiwi from the top perch? Let's kick start this marathon as we did last year, with 8 matches due to the League Cup (*) taking place mid-week. To all who enter, stick with it, remember to post your scores each week and the very best of luck!!

At the moment it seems that Leicester v Wednesday might not happen because Wednesday are all over the shop re paying players etc.

Just wanted to say, many thanks in advance for your work for the next season. If you feel the need to show much sympathy and award bogus points, to help a mate in need, go ahead, make my day. If you feel that Kiwi is getting too far ahead, i'm prepared to relieve him of some points. It’s the kind of kinship we members enjoy. Oh ..... and watch that Steels chap, he's shifty to say the least.......
Good to be back in the saddle again! Thanks very much Hoop-Leif for once again coordinating this time consuming endeavour. I will definitely have Kiwi in my sights this season, but will again settle for mid table mediocrity.

Thanks for running it again, Hoops-Leif and good luck to everyone.

Unlike myself, always wearing my rose tinted glasses, predicting a 2-1 win over Preston (now where do we find those 2 goals?), those with the more sensible reverse prediction, definitely have their feet more firmly planted on the ground!
