Evening ´nots´, and welcome to a new year of hair-pulling as we try to second guess Mr. Hughton each week. To the regulars, there will be no significant changes to last year, but for those who have never indulged in this madness, I´ll just go over the basics. We set out to predict the starting line-up and the 7 on the bench for each league and Cup game during the season. As well as this, there will be a Bonus Prediction which lasts the month, and which changes at the beginning of a new month, a Home Match Bonus and an Away Match Bonus which remain constant throughout the season, and a YES/NO Bonus which changes every match day. Scoring is as follows: 3 pts for each correct line-up prediction (an extra 5 pts if all 11 correct) 1 pt for each correct bench prediction (an extra 5 pts if all 7 correct) Bonus Prediction, worth from 20 pts upwards Home/Away Match Bonus, each worth 20 pts YES/NO Bonus, worth 30 pts Top scorer each week will have 5 pts added to their score, and there will be promotion/relegation at the end of each month (unlike CPL it will be based on points alone). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reigning Champion: KillerCanaryKris - [as of this moment: Suspensions - Fer, Injuries - Pilkington, Bassong?, Hooper?] Starting eleven and bench predictions here please for Saturday´s game.
