Now the first prediction thread is up and running I thought it time to post the 2016/17 prediction league thread.

The rules as I see them.

The rules to be the same as last season unless anyone would like to make changes that won’t make my job more complicated. Please submit suggestions ASAP or at the latest by Thursday 4th Aug. to allow discussion.

2 points for correct result (win/draw/lose) then if you predicted the result correctly, 1 point for each teams’ correctly predicted score, plus 1 bonus point if you predicted both teams’ scores correctly.

Incorrect result, no points, even if you get 1 of the teams’ score correct.

Any player who hasn’t made a prediction for 6 consecutive games will be temporarily removed from the table. If they resume making predictions they will be reinstated into the table with all points intact.
All players will appear in the final table at the end of the season.

All league and cup/trophy games count.

Any cup/trophy game that plays extra time/penalties rather than a replay, the score at 90 mins counts.

The current champion is more than happy with the format

Don't think there will be many wins this season.

Might surprise us all

Here we go then, first game of the season.

Grimsby away. 6 August.

31 players, with a fairly even spread of win, draw and loss predictions.

MfcChris starts this season off as he finished the last one, top of the table.

What happens if a game goes to pens? If its 0-0 and on team wins 4-3 on pens would the final score be 4-3?

Last season I think I took the score at the end of normal time (90 mins) so I'll do the same this year. I'll add that into the rules above unless anyone thinks different?

Did anyone get full points???

What do I get for a win?

Bloody rubbish! Which idiot thinks these things up?

Rotherham away. 9 August, EFL Cup.

With the score being 3-3 at 90 mins, only Mrs Sakhalin scored points moving her into joint 7th.

I should hope you are!

It's always best to check because when I read the thread to pick up the predictions it's easy to miss one if it's contained within comments.

Portsmouth Home. 16 Aug.

31 predictions with plenty of positive vibes, 10 thought we'd draw whilst 13 saw another win. Aspers 2nd correct prediction in a row puts him joint top with MfcChris. Westgate wanderer slides one place to 3rd.

Marky No1 also scored 5 moving him into 4th.

With apologies to Doc Brown...

"You made a time machine?... out of a motor home???"

At Yeovil. 20 Aug.

29 predictions, 19 thought we'd win whilst only 2 thought we'd get beaten.

Duffman, Morecambe Jack and Seasider9601 scored 5 points each.

Aspers & MfcChris stay joint top with their 2 points each.

Too many others scored points to warrant a mention, apart from me of course, getting my first points of the season.
