Rules (I tried to keep this simple) Player Predictions 1 point for each correct player in starting XI If all 11 players are correctly predicted, a is also awarded. Result / Score Predictions 1 point for a correct result prediction 3 points and a for a correct result and score prediction Points for player predictions & result / score predictions to be combined (see below). League position depends on total points, not the number of stars. The member with the highest score at the end of the season is Prediction League Champion The member with the most by the end of the season is the Prediction Trophy Winner There might even be prizes... Members can predict on any first team game this season (League or Cup). Prediction Table (1 game played) Players ... Result / Score ... Total 010 ................ 03 ................. 013 ..... Watameire 010 ................ 00 ................. 010 ..... The Penguin 008 ................ 00 ................. 008 ..... Lardiman 000 ................ 01 ................. 001 ..... Typical part 2 000 ................ 00 ................. 000 ..... ElfsborgAddick With over 50 games a possibility, it's never too late to join in. And no need to predict all 11 players if you don't wish to. Any correctly predicted player wins a point, even from a partial prediction. And of course there's no obligation to play every round. Just a bit of fun after all...
Result / Score predictions could also count in the league table, Maybe 1 point for a correct result prediction, 3 points (total) for getting the score right as well.
Me neither - that's chiefly why the Sheriff wants my job But even a partial prediction would be OK for the league table. If any member doesn't feel confident about predicting all 11 players, just name four or five... Of whatever number you wish to. No obligation to predict, or to join in for every game. Just a bit of fun. All correct guesses will get a point, and no deductions for not guessing all 11. Though any member guessing all 11 players correctly may get a bonus. Possibly a Then at the end of the season the member with most wins the Prediction Trophy while the member with the most accumulated points becomes League Champion As they may not be one and the same person. I'm just making this up as I go along here
Ok my predicted starting 11 are: Gkp - Kaminski CB - Jones CB - Gillesphey CB - Ramsay LWB - Edwards RWB - Bell Mid - Coventry Mid - Docherty Mid - Apter FWD - Campbell FWD - Kelman 1-0 to the Addicks
No idea, but I am predicting a comfortable 2-0 victory for Watford. This will be a wake up call and a realisation of what needs to be done to stay up.
Kaminski Ramsay Jones Gillesphey Apter Coventry Docherty Edwards Leaburn T. Campbell Oloafe I'm not familiar enough with the positional strengths of each player to know how well balanced that team is. But I ought to get a few right.
That's the plan. I'll post a players / result / score prediction table at the top of this thread. After each game it will be updated. No obligation on members to predict for every game, but accumulated points will be shown for those who like to. If it catches on we'll carry it through to the end of the season.
Will post the prediction league table after Match 1 in the starting post at the top of this thread, probably tomorrow EDIT: League now posted (along with simplified rules) in first post of the thread.
Here's my Carabao Cup game vs Stevenage (Tuesday 12 Aug) prediction: Maynard-Brewer Z Mitchell A Mitchell Gillesphey Edwards Anderson Docherty Apter Carey Mbick Rankin-Costello Score: 3-2 Charlton win
Prediction 1-1 (Charlton win in extra time) Mannion Gillesphey A. Mitchell Z.Mitchell Bell Rankin-Costello Coventry Anderson Knibbs Kanu Dixon
