Prediction League The post-Ashley pre-Europe NUFC Prediction League

After numerous requests by PM I have again decided to run the award winning Prediction League. I have tried to simplify the rules as we only have two weeks to the start of the season:

1. Its a Prediction League so you need to get your predictions in before the games start.
2. One point for a correct result, two points for correct result and goal difference, 5pts for correct result and score
3. Extra three points for correct first goalscorer
4. Each player has 4 double-point bonus cards which count for the 10 next matches after the card is played. However this season:
- first card can only be played between start of season and end September
- second card can only be played between start October and 12th November
- third card can only be played between 26th December and end February
- fourth card can only be played between start March and end April
5. No buying, selling or transferring of cards
6. No standing orders
7. No socks
8. No WWE GIFs

Just copy mine or Chippy's then change them a bit.

Essentially its a measure of how accurate you are at predicting something that will happen in the future - a bit like the transfer window thread. Just so you know Munse came bottom of the league last season.

Please refer to Rule 6.

 

Oh **** off and/or refer to Rule 7

 

Not choosing to be pedantic but SS’s predictions aren’t a standing order. He has predicted only for this set of games.

 

It was for match 1?
And how come I can’t do a standing order if I wanted to? I did last year like.

 

My apologies. I have banned standing orders. I will count that set for week 1.
