    Late reveal of your predictions:

    upload_2025-11-30_8-55-41.png

    Musty and SMH topped the match scores with 12 apiece.

    Musty was the only one to earn points on the Super Match. I specifically picked it to be difficult: Huddersfield had taken10 points from their last 6 home games and Wimbledon 9 from 6 aways. That marginal advantage for Huddersfield was counterbalanced by Huddersfield having won only 1 of their last 3 home games whilst Wimbledon had 2 wins from their last 3 aways. Musty was the only one NOT to go for a home win. I'm wondering why I did....

    Musty also got the unusually late First Goal Time at Argyle. Regrettably, it wasnt the last as after a decent first half, Argyle collapsed like a house of cards in a stiff breeze when the first goal went in and the crowd turned against them.

    With the biggest scores of the day for Musty, Joe and SMH, it's tightened quite a bit. Who says this league is difficult to predict Musty?

    This graph covers new two rounds: yesterday and the mini-round in mid week which was too small to show separately.

    The fixture schedule now goes fully bananas.

    There are three games on running from Tuesday 2nd December, with Wigan v Burton at 19:45, to Saturday at 12:30, when there are just two games, including Argyle at home again for our sins.

    Then there is a 12 game schedule running from eleven games at 19:45 on Tuesday and one at 19:45 on Wednesday.

    We then start again on Saturday 13th.

    Please address any questions to the Football League at:

    EFL House
    10-12 West Cliff
    Preston
    Lancashire
    PR1 8HU

    One thing I can't do is process more than 12 games at a time, so I'm afraid, so that's how it will have to be and the first three are:

    Tuesday 2nd December
    • Wigan Athletic versus Burton Albion kick off 19:45
    Saturday 6th December
    • Cardiff City versus Huddersfield Town kick off 12:30
    • Plymouth Argyle versus Bradford City kick off 12:30

    I think I've previousy ruled (probably whilst in my cups) that even if you predict an Argyle 0-0, you are still entitled to submit a Goal Time. I don't know if it came up before I became the game administrator.

    I know this is illogical but given you could predict a 1-0 result with a 10th minute goal, you'd still get the Goal Time points if it ended up 0-1, which puts it in context.

    Also, everyone who's entered before you has one, so go with the flow.

    Just as a wild guess, I've put you down for 45 minutes......

    Anyway, hope springs eternal......

    Goal Time: 25 minutes

    I do find that confusing notDistant....choosing a zero goal option...means there will be no goals scored....but to be offered a second choice seems unfair on everyone else who are only getting one choice.....why do I need a second go ?

    It's a game and at the moment, my rules.

    You're down for your usual 45 minutes.
