GTAF Premier League Prediction League 2010/11

[nerner 2]

 

The Premiership Prediction League 2010-11

Inspired by the world cup thread, GTAF'ers the world over are now going to, hopefully, predict the Prem scores for this coming year. Good luck everybody!

 

Rules and Scoring:

 

-You must predict the score of the match before it starts, on pain of a 10pt deduction when found out, and possible banishment from the tournament.

 

-You can post all results at once or do the sensible thing and post them one set at a time. It is probably a good idea to wait until the day before so that you have a rough idea of the starting XI's for both sides.

 

-Predictions must contain the score of the predicted match.

 

-If you predict the correct result, you will be awarded 3pts. So if Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-1 and that was your prediction you get 3pts.

 

-A single point for the correct result, so if Liverpool only win 1-0, you will get a point.

 

-If your score is correct but the winner is wrong, you pick up no points. So if Arsenal win 2-1 because you picked Liverpool to win, you will receive nothing.

 

-All of the above scoring methods apply to drawn games as well.

 

-In the event of the tie at the end of the tournament, the winner will be the member who has predicted the most amount of correct scores (i.e. 1 - 0, 2 - 0, etc).

 

-If two members have the same score and the exact same amount of predicted correct scores at the end of the tournament, they will both be declared joint Prediction League Winners.

 

Lets try something new

 

-To spice things up at the start of the competition everyone must pick their top 4. In order.

 

-You will receive 5pts for each of those teams that finishes in the top 4, and another 5pts on top of that if you accurately predicted their position as well.

 

-Then, you must pick one of the three promoted sides.

 

-If that side comes higher than all of the other teams that came up, you will get 2pts, if one of the other side that came up finishes above them you will receive 1pt, and if both of the other promoted sides finish higher than them, you will get no points.

 

-Finally you will predict the bottom three. Again in order.

 

-You will receive 5pts for a finishing in the bottom three, plus another 5pts if you guessed their position correctly too.

 

-All of these predictions must be made before the first round of matches. If not you will lose out on that opportunity to gain points.

 

Stuff you might need

3 promoted sides;

•Newcastle

•West Brom

•Blackpool

My start of season predictions:

2. Man Utd

3. Arsenal

4. Liverpool

 

Best Newcomer:

Newcastle

 

Bottom 3:

The table will be updated after every round of results. All predictions for end of year tables and stuff will go in this post here. Also, if anybody wants to make me a banner for the topic like Andy did for the WC 2010 topic, then be my guest, it looks rather empty and colourless up top.

 

And here is a post template for posting your start of season predictions:

Fantastic idea nerner; hope it goes well. It's a little bit early now, and since I've got at least three weeks, I'll wait until the season nears before making my starting predictions.

 

Also, Tommy, you included West Brom twice in your bottom three.

[TommyMufc-Champs 5]

Oh thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the good responses, I've asked for this to be pinned up by the other topics at the top instead of all of the world cup threads since the WC has finished. Hope that there are a few entrants. And when the season starts please keep it mainly to predictions. All football related chat can go in the footy desk topic. Don't want to read through a load of clutter in order to get to one meaningful post.

 

Cheers guys.

 

@Bates_GTA: Don't forget the team that you think will perform best out of the 3 promoted sides. Don't want to miss out on the 2pts that could win it for you.
