Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table No changes at the top this week, with the only change being that Andy has overtaken Matej into 5th place. Highest score of the round belonged to Hackney with 112 followed by Seb with 106 and Charlie with 100. Chris narrowed the gap at the top a little this week. A reminder that we have a WPL round next week alongside the FA Cup quarter final stage - this looks a little different to normal because there are only 5 fixtures in the Premiership. These feature the also rans such as Liverpool and Chelsea who couldn't make it through in the Cup.

Goodness, only 27 points separate me and the boys! Obviously, I'm handling the fact that I am top amongst us three with the greatest sensitivity...
Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table Unfortunately there was a higher than normal number of non tippers this week, which maybe had to do with the WPL and FA cup being held concurrently. Though I had previously indicated that this would be the case from the Quarter final stage onwards. The double points rule was taken over by the Udinese fixture for this round. Because there were only 5 Premiership fixtures and 5 other games which made up the numbers I have added Mark Lawrenson's FA cup tips to his league total (otherwise he would have only had 5 fixtures compared to our 10). Highest score of the round was my own score of 153 - this was largely made up by the extra fixtures at Rotherham, Leeds and in Paris. Hackney and Andy also got over the hundred mark. We now have a 2 week break for the internationals next weekend.

I was distracted preparing to go away. Pathetic excuse really. Still, as I couldn't get to the Cup game, I listened to it from a beach in the Caribbean - next best thing ! I fully expect maximum points for remaining games - can I enter each set after the games please?
That's an excellent excuse, I was on holiday too, skiing. I don't suppose we can get a few points for having a good excuse Cologne? It was a bit sneaky to put EPL games on when Watford were playing in the cup, no respect by the authorities.
Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table A high scoring week for us with no fewer than 7 of us topping the hundred mark. Highest of the round was my own score of 186, which shows that blindfold tipping works. I can't remember it being so close at the top going into April with only 62 points separating the first 5 places, and Chris narrowing Brian's lead to just 16 points. We have a WPL round next week, concurrently with the FA Cup - the remaining 4 Premiership fixtures and 6 others making up the numbers.

Been studying the Algerian Ligue Professional form, cologne, in hope you pick your fixtures from there...
Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table A couple of changes in the top places due to theghost getting the second highest score of the round and moving up into second as a result. On the whole a low scoring week for many of us. Bodbo managed the highest score of the round with 125. Still quite close at the top with only 5 rounds left.

Clearly getting top score from 20th position is a bit like winning 3-2 from 2-0 down with 12 minutes to go. It was meant to be !
Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table No changes in the top placings this week, and all still quite close. Highest score of the day was our guest from the BBC, who tipped on the Horns losing Second highest of the day was Theo with 110. Otherwise it was a fairly moderate scoring round for us. Only 4 rounds of the WPL left and the permutations at the top are still quite open.

Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table Only 3 rounds left and Brian is still looking strong in first place, although theghost briefly held the lead on Saturday night. 120 points now separating the top 5 places - still possible to bridge but getting more difficult as time goes by. Highest scorer of the round was Fez, who was the only one to get the Watford scoreline correct - lots of 1-0 and 2-0 tips for the Horns, and some 1-1 tips but Fez slotted in between them to great effect. Second highest was Scullion with 86. On the whole a low week of scoring for many of us.

With our current pts system anyone in the top 6 can still win and all but the bottom 5 cant still get in front of Lawrenson COYH . Thanks for all your hard work Cologne we only need 7 more points to be playing in your back yard next season
Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table My plan to avoid monday night fixtures came to nothing as a result of having missed out on Leicester v Arsenal which was originally scheduled for the monday, and having inserted Atalanta v Bergamo in its place - which turned out to be a monday fixture anyway ! Nonetheless I got maximum points on the joker for the Italian match so I can't complain. Things have got very tight at the top now with only 36 points separating the top 4 places. This being as a result of high scores for Frenchie and myself. Brian's lead over theghost has been cut to 7 points, so with 2 rounds left it is all starting to look very open. Andy still leads the family duel for a Europa League place but Seb is now breathing down his neck. Highest score of the round was Fez with 117 followed by NZHorn with 115.

Watford Predictions League 2018/19 League Table With so much low scoring around it would have been the right time for someone to really make hay - but nobody did. As a result the table looks nearly identical to last week. Highest score of the day was by Bodbo with 103 due to great use of the joker on Newcastle v Liverpool and a unique scoreline. Elsewhere scores of 30-50 were the norm. Going into the last round next week Brian has a 10 point lead over theghost - could be quite a showdown there. Frenchie and myself are about 50 points behind which is reachable but unlikely - however, all still to play for. One astute use of the joker could change everything.

Watford Predictions League 2018/19 Final League Table Another season of the WPL comes to an end. Highest score of the final round was by Yorkie with 82, followed by Andy with 80. But a glance at the final table shows us the following: Winner of the WPL for 2018/19 is: brian_66_usa In second place was: theghost In third place was: Him that does the scoring ! Colognehornet The fourth champions league place went to: oldfrenchhorn Europa League places went to Chris 13 and Andy, who was successfull in the family league. Many thanks to all for taking part in what turned out to be a much closer affair than in other years, with only 14 points in it at the end. Congrats to Brian.
