Prediction League Predict 6 - 2023/24

It's that time again.

Unfortunately, this year the fixtures will come from the dark depths of The Championship, so you'll have to be up for a 46 round slog of mental attrition - unless you're @Aski or @FORZA LEEDS

Same scoring rules as last season.

To any that don't know, I will post 6 Championship games from each round of fixtures, all you have to do is try to predict the correct score for each.

The scoring system rewards higher scoring correct predictions with more points.

Correct score = 3 points PLUS a point per goal scored
Correct Result = 1 point PLUS an extra point if the predicted goals for either team is correct
Wrong result = 0 points PLUS an extra point if the predicted goals for either team is correct

Example...

Result = 2-0
Prediction = 0-0 scores 1 point (wrong result but gets a bonus point)
Prediction = 1-0 scores 2 points (right result and a bonus point)
Prediction = 2-0 scores 5 points (Correct score so gets 3 points + the 2 goals scored)
Prediction = 2-1 scores 2 points (right result and a bonus point)
Prediction = 3-1 scores 1 points (right result but no bonus)
Prediction = 2-2 scores 1 point (wrong result but gets a bonus point)
Prediction = 2-3 scores 1 point (wrong result but gets a bonus point)
Predictions of 0-1, 1-1, 1-2 and 0-2 would all score 0 points.

Ideally please try to enter all your predictions before the earliest match in the round kicks off as this means I can collect everybody's predictions at the same time. If you do miss a kick-off you can still play any later games in that round. If you try to predict a game once that game as kicked off, your prediction will be void.

Could a kind mod please sticky this?

 

I'm in and you never know I may change my prediction philosophy

 

Count me in please. Just dipped out on CL position last season but as soon my new owner is in place ….l

 

I’m in

 

After last season's reasonable showing by myself and seeing as you are willing to do all the administrative duties I would consider your offer as a given....cheers and let's goooooo

 

Hopefully I’ll perform better this season but it’s a lot of weeks to remember.

 

Probably no more than last season as there are quite a few weeks where two rounds are played. They're the ones I really need to remember to make sure I give everybody a chance to get their predictions in.

 

Is it true Mods get a 30 point head start?


I'm in!!!

 

I’m in

 

You'd have still only finished 2nd last season.

 

I know there's still a month to go but some may be off on holiday so...

Feckin' EFL !!!

The EFL website has been showing QPR v Watford since the fixtures were posted. Now it's suddenly changed to Watford v QPR.

WTF are they up to?

 

BBC quoting it as Watford v QPR, not that it makes any difference to my predictions
