Premier League 2015/16 Prediction Tournament

[Crokey]

Due the to the abandoned match at Old Trafford, I'll discount any predictions for that game, and hold off on the bonus points until further notice or announcement of a replay.

[cactus.]

well at least I still have time to get in one prediction, right? god I'm a f*cking idiot

 

Manchester United 2 - 0 Bournemouth

[Crokey]

I'll get the table up later on, but I'll have to hold off on the last fixture, and unless United win 19-0, I'll count the bonus points as well, as the result won't make a difference, as it's doubtful United will get the top 4.

 

Since the game was called off then it changes the game slightly, so if everyone wants to make a new prediction for that match, then I'll allow it, if not I'll keep your current guess... if and when they announce the replay.

 

EDIT:

 

Here's the table without the Bonus points as I've just checked and the Untied/Bournemouth match can also affected the best promoted side bonus points. So I'll do the bonuses when the last game is played

They can't actually, United has to win 19:0 for CL and 4th, and Bournemouth 0:10 to become the best promoted instead of Watford.

May as well do them now.

 

Either way, it's been a fun prediction league, thanks to everyone participating and Crokey for updating it.

 

I'll be making the Euro 2016 one next week after CL/EL like i did before for WC 2014 and Euro 2012

Should be some good prediction fun over June now that the leagues are over.

 

edit: I was also mingling with the idea of having some sort of a mixed european prediction league for next season besides CL/EL and EPL.

Something like most interesting 7-8 fixtures per week in top leagues, since doing one individually for spain, germany, italy, holland, france, portugal(and if i missed anyone i'm sorry) wouldn't be as popular.

See those tables where they break down home and away goal... yeah, I hate those, getting me all confused and sh*t.

 

Anywho, final table with bonuses (which was interesting seeing who thought what at the beginning of the season. But this does not include Man United v Bournemouth, which is scheduled now for this Tuesday 17 May 2016, so again if you want to re-predict that match, if not I'll take your previous predictions.

As you can see it's tight at the top and Tommy., Andy Ganteks, and Ari Gold could have a little shuffle come this Tuesday, in the event that Tommy and Andy end up on equal points, the play-off may be the FA Cup Final and then possibly the Championship play-off if it comes to that.

 

But big Congratulations to "a cactus" for being this seasons winner, and he didn't even need to predict the last round of games.

Uh, i've done the counting myself earlier of bonus pts for top 5 before you.

What i had was

 

name round38 bonuspts

Ari Gold 206 215 255
A cactus 218 218 253
Tommy 222 234 249
Andyg 205 211 246
Gardener 207 215 240

 

I think you've missed 5 pts on Gardener and 10 on Ari Gold?

Edited May 15, 2016 by AndyGanteks

[Crokey]

You're right, I was counting up 5 points for finishing in the Top 4 / Bottom 3, I forgot to add the extra 5 points for the league position.

[Ari Gold]

far out

 

seriously regretting skipping two gameweeks when I was in the US over christmas lmao

 

watch out a cactus 'cause I'll be gunning for you next year

 

Regardless it was a really fun season guys - congrats to everyone on their efforts! Looking forward to seeing you all for Euro 2016 and for next season's comp

[The Gardener]

The streak is over! (I won this the last 2 seasons)

[jaidev]

Thanks for creating this guys, this was really fun(still p*ssed off at myself that I had to miss so many gameweeks).

Really looking forward to Euros and next season.

[AndyGanteks]

Guys, wait, you counted wrong again, Ari has 255 lol.

 

 

 

Top 4 Predictions:
1.) Manchester United
2.) Arsenal
3.) Chelsea
4.) Manchester City

Bottom 3 Predictions:
18.) Aston Villa
19.) Norwich
20.) Newcastle

Best Promoted Team:

Bournemouth

Golden Boot Winner:

Olivier Giroud

Also, Liverpool won't make the top 10.

 

Arsenal 2nd - 10 pts

City 4th - 10 pts

Norwich 19th - 10 pts

Villa, Newcastle also relegated, but not exact positions - 5+5 pts

 

So thats 40 pts, 215 + 40 = 255, lol. So the final game will decide the winner between Cacti and Ari, and Tommy will take 3rd.

I say we ban bonus points next season

 

United 2-1 Bournemouth

[AndyGanteks]

Mufc-B'mouth 1:1 (for lulz sakes)

 

And nah, don't ban, just 10 points is a bit too much, make it 3 and 5 instead of 5/10 or something.

[MyName'sJeff]

Manchester United 3 - 0 Bournemouth

[Crokey]

Okay once and for all here is the final table with bonuses and the Untied/Bournemouth game

Unless Andy gets his calculator out again, the winner is Ari Gold taking the... Gold.

 

Next season I'll hopefully have a better looking table in place that is a little more foolproof.

[Ari Gold]

Haha completely random (how I predicted the bottom three relatively accurately beats me), but look I'll take it

[cactus.]

this is scandalous! if it weren't for all this double-checking I'd have won!

 

serves me right for completely skipping the last gameweek like a moron

[Eminem!]

Friday's won't be complete not coming here for 3 months

[Crokey]

Friday's won't be complete not coming here for 3 months

Been doing some research and next season's is going to be great, and simple, with even more at stake... stay tuned to the Sports Forum in August to find out more.

Bumping this and linking to the new season thread, and then locking this one; as the bump may trigger people who were subscribed to this topic (and therefore receive notifications) to post their predictions in the new thread.
