    With the reintroduction of competitive league football this Saturday, once again comes the return of the Blue Prophet Prediction League to the board! After several seasons of tedious football played against a backdrop of cost cutting, Neil Warnock managed to breath life back into Cardiff City during his 9 month spell last season, and now with a full transfer window and preseason, he has had the chance to put his mark on this squad. With some shrewd signings and good man management can he bring success back to Cardiff?

    The Blue Prophet Prediction League (BPPL) gives you the chance to predict City's league fixtures in the form of a lighthearted competition. Its a good laugh and get some of you to comment on the board a bit more! Comment your commitment and you'll be placed in Division I or II depending on where you finished last season.* New members welcome!

    Scoring System Proposed Change
    Following the switch a couple of season ago to limit the points available for predicting Cardiff scorers, I have been toying with the idea of reducing the impact of that category further by changing the points awarded for a prediction.

    Current System

    Correct Score = 3 pts
    Correct Result = 1 pts
    Correct Scorer = 1 pts

    Proposed System

    Correct Score = 4 pts
    Correct Result = 2 pts
    Correct Scorer = 1 pts

    This would reduce the weighting placed on guessing a scorer and raising the importance of the result. There is an option to vote at the top of the page. Any suggestions/discussion/questions are welcome. Also have a parachute payment option to discuss next week.

    Rules

    Scoreline
    Correct Score (CS) = 3 pts
    Correct Result (CR) = 1 pts

    Cardiff Scorers
    Name one Cardiff scorer for a single point.
    Can opt to predict no Cardiff scorers (by not naming a scorer) for a single point.

    Three missed predictions on the bounce results in a 1 point penalty.
    Predicting all 46 games = a single bonus point.

    Example (Of a typical prediction)

    Burton Albion 1 - 3 Cardiff City
    Zohore to score!

    Good Luck <ok>

    *Unfortunately due to cut backs at the BBPL there will be no previews this year <wah>

    Greetings from Iseo Lake, near Milan!!!
    I favour the new system for no other reason than it is new.
    With a sad heart I predict 2 1 to us (I have a great affinity with B Albion since I lived there and my son lives there now, when not in Kuwait).
    Got to be Zocky opening his account too.

    Count me in again, and I favour the new proposed scoring system. I'm off to Burton on Saturday on the TIT bus and I reckon we'll start off with three points.

    Brewers 1-3 City

    Zohore

    Cheers

    Nice one Sheepy! <ok>

    That new scoring system looks a very good move and I'll go for that please. The tables were all a bit close last season and the extra points for correct score and result should open up gaps.

    Like Taff I'm going to think about this one - will predict later in the week but definitely count me in pal.

    To be clear, the named scorer does not have to be the first city player to score, right?
