Good Morning All!
In the grand tradition of the Euros Prediction Game, the new season is almost upon us. All are welcome!
RULES: Each midweek I'll be posting 15 weekend fixtures for you to predict. These will be mostly Premier League, with a scattering of Championship and foreign league games (just to keep things saucy). Fixtures will always be from Saturday or Sunday, so no one has to keep constantly checking for weird Friday night or midweek surprise inclusions. Entries need to be posted here before 12 noon on a Saturday.
You earn five points for an exact correct scoreline, two points for a correct result but wrong score. HOWEVER, there is a twist as anyone who played the Euros game will know. Each week you may pick THREE games to highlight with an asterisk, and these games will earn YOU, dear player, double points. So, for example, if you predict Everton 1-1 Southampton, and that's the end result, you earn 5 points normally, but a whopping 10 points if that's a game you've noted with a shiny star. If you play, do not forget to put an asterisk next to THREE of your games, it makes a massive difference.
There will be a weekly winner's list, a four-weekly winner's list, and an overall season list, so don't be put off by thinking you have to do this every single week. It's just occasional fun, but is also there for the long-term among you.
What do you win? Nothing. Don't be greedy, avarice is not a good look. Just ask Vinny. What you DO get is bragging rights. Congratulations again to Axle and Oh When The Wolves, the joint Euros winners, who still look smug six weeks after their victory.
I will update scores once a week, as time permits; I've just started a new job at a busy vet's surgery (helping care for sick animals seeming somewhat appropriate for a Wolves' fan, hopefully not an omen for the coming season) but I'll be around.
Good luck to all who decide to play!
