I don't know how you'd create the rule stopping it without stopping it being a prediction league. As OLM has pointed out it's not a prediction league if you have to make incorrect predictions to meet a quota.

The obvious solution that doesn't need enforcing is to work it the other way round. Different people have been picking the fixtures each week, and with the exception of City's game having to be in it, and it taking on a 4411 structure (except for cup weekends) there's been no rules on which games have been picked. If people know you're going to predict 2-1 to the highest placed team and don't agree with it, they should intentionally pick games where they think the lower placed team will win or that will end in draws. If they're right and are good at doing it then your system becomes a handicap rather than a good idea.

 

I might introduce a new rule giving a points deduction to anyone who persistently whinges about fixture selections and such like.

 

Liverpool 1-2 Everton
Manchester United 2-0 Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Southampton
Queens Park Rangers 0-3 Arsenal
Bolton Wanderers 2-0 Blackpool
Hull City 1-0 Cardiff City
Nottingham Forest 2-0 Leicester City
Watford 2-0 Leeds United
Swindon Town 1-1 Brentford
Cheltenham Town 1-2 Northampton Town

Cheers to everyone involved in running this, especially Ricardo after the shambles at the start!

Well done to Ellewoods too, no complaints about the system from me.

Also agree about points deductions for complaining about fixtures, one person in particular does every week, no surprise its happened again this week.

Bolton Wanderers 1-0 Blackpool
Hull City 1-0 Cardiff City

Watford 2-2 Leeds United
Swindon Town 1-1 Brentford
Cheltenham Town 1-3 Northampton Town

 

As my old mucker Confucius once said...."If it ain't broken mate. Don't fix it"

 

I thought Confucious said "man who walks sideways through airport turnstile is going to Bangkok."

 

What a day, what a day. The only score line that I ever got right that mattered was 2-1 Leeds over Watford.
