Hello -
Well we have made it to the final week of a long but a great season for all saints fans - its had its usual ups and downs, its had its shocks and unbelievable results -last weeks 6-1 is testament to that.
The one thing that makes football so exciting is the unpredictability of it all that allows west brom to beat chelsea and saints to win at old trafford.
Well done to all those that have played the prediction game this year - A total of 60 players have played at some point and now we are looking for our final weekly winner, monthly winner and season champion. There could be a new name on the trophy with kjhgfd34 leading the way going into the final week.
Will there be any twist and turns to come for the final bumper week of prediction
2 of you, saintinserbia and saints alive have made it through to the final of the May cup . All have further predictions to make - see details below
Last week results http://www.not606.com/threads/not606-this-weeks-prediction-fixtures.300748/page-2
As an added incentive this year and this year only as the 5th anniversary of the competition there will be 3 x 5.00 Southampton gift vouchers to win. You could win all 3 and pocket 15.00 worth of vouchers. These will be for 1) most weekly wins, 2)Season title winner and 3) most cup wins when the competition starts in November.
Its just a bit of fun each week and you dont have to play each week. There will be a weekly winner and at the end of the month a league winner for the person scoring the most points in that month. For those really competitive ones and ones that can last the pace there will also be an end of season winner for the one who has accumulated the most points over the season.
The usual mix of saints, pompey games any anything from premier league, football league and european leagues to womens football.
CHANGES
There will be a gamble question that you can chose to play or not. If you get the gamble question correct (which will usually be a 50/50) you will gain a further 3 points and if you get it wrong you will lose 3 of your points.
The joker feature stays but can only be played on correct score predictions and not for goalscorer. Put a (J) against your most confident prediction to double your points for that prediction. You will therefore pick up 6pts for an exact score, 2pts for correct result if correct on the fixture you chose
SCORING
Exact correct score = 3 points
correct result (home win/away win/draw) = 1 point
3 points for each of the 2 other correct predictions.
Any goals scored in the Bonus match added to your total
Play your Joker (J) on any score prediction to double pts scored for that prediction.
Gamble question if you chose to play +3pts if correct, -3pts if incorrect

With the gamble questions you can play both, one or neither - remember 3pts if you are correct, 3pts away if you are wrong.

Its not as easy as it looks -
I WILL ALLOW POSTS TO BE EDITED EG. IF YOU PREDICT A GOALSCORER ON WEDNESDAY AND FIND OUT FRIDAY HE IS NOT PLAYING OR YOU CAN CHANGE A SCORE. HOWEVER ANY EDITS OF POST AFTER THE FIRST KICK OFF OF THE EARLIEST GAME WILL VOID ALL PREDICTIONS FOR THAT WEEK. GOALSCORER PREDICTIONS FOR LATE KICK OFFS/SUNDAY GAMES CAN BE CHANGED BY CREATING A NEW POST BUT THE SCORER MUST BE FROM THE ORIGINAL MATCH YOU HAD CHOSEN.
YOU CANNOT CHANGE OR EDIT A GAMBLE QUESTION ANSWER AFTER THE FIRST GAME IS UNDERWAY.
Good Luck
CUP GAMES (seeds in brackets)
(10) saintinserbia v (4) saintsalive
CUP RULES
You are head to head with you opponent above. therefore you could get knocked out with 8 points if your opponent scores 9. Someone else may get through on 4 points if they beat their opposition. There are 4 TEAMS and a goalscorer to pick and the skill is identifying who will score the most goals in games selected.
There must be a winner in these matches as after the 1st week we will be down to 8 players, after the 2nd week down to 4, then 2 at the end of the 3rd week. The final 2 will go head to head in the 4th week. Therefore if you get the same points as your opponent there will be a penalty shoot out based firstly on who scored most points from their goalscorer, if after that it is still a draw then its which team scored most in your first listed team, if still level then most points from 2nd listed team and if still equal after that the winner will be the person who posted their predictions 1st.
If you do not post any cup predictions your opponent will get a bye to the next week. If neither of you make predictions you will both be out and the best scoring loser from another game will go through. CUP GAMES CANNOT BE EDITED - ANY CHANGES PLEASE CREATE A NEW POST. Any postponements are just unlucky - if you know a game is postponed before kickoff and wish to make a change that is fine. If not a point (1 goal) will be given for the postponed team
CUP GAME AND POINTS
You should all choose FOUR (4) TEAMS from the 50 listed AND any 1 goalscorer from any of those 50 teams. However many goals are scored by those 4 teams will be added to your points total. Every goal your goalscorer gets will add a point to your total - if its the first goal of the game 3 points will be given for that goal. (eg a 1st goal hatrick will score 5 pts)
You MUST ALSO pick a Team for your opponent - the goals from that team will be added to your opponents total-
List of teams - Arsenal v West Brom, Aston Villa v Burnley, Chelsea v Sunderland, Crystal Palace v Swansea, Everton v Tottenham, Hull v Man Utd, Leicester v QPR, Man City v Saints,Newcastle v West Ham, Stoke v Liverpool, Aberdeen v St Johnstone, Dundee Utd v Dundee, Levente v Elche, Almeria v Valencia, Atletic Bilbao v Villarreal, Celta de Vigo v Espanyol, Eibar v Cordoba, Malaga v Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano v Real Sociedad, Bordeaux v Montpellier, Lens v Nantes, Rennes v Lyon, Toulouse v Nice, St Etienne v Guingamp, Caen v Evian Thonon Gaillard
