So if you guess the scorer and it’s wrong you get deducted points? Well most people get it wrong so DB will be working his socks off deducting points all week and the table will mostly be in the negative with people being reluctant to guess a player that isn’t one of our regular scorers, I really don’t think that’s a very good solution.


I think what he was saying is you could predict a score of 22 - 21 and name all the players. You could technically get a point for the scorer and a win... absolutely no fun in my eyes though could earn you £50

the only change i wanted to do last season was increase pts for correct score from 1 to 2 as i felt its harder to predict a score then naming scorers and there was a few exaggerated scorers, but like PP said maybe needed capping.

Definitely needs to be more than one point for a correct score. It's harder to predict than a correct scorer and I was going to post something similar before others raised the issue.

Think 1 point for predicting a win, draw or loss, but 2 or 3 points for the correct score.

Fully agree with Ron
Need more points for correct score. Maybe 4
One for correct result
One for correct scorer with maximum of say 4 scorers

Thank you for all your comments. I have taken on board what has been said and I believe that although we enter to win, the spirit of the competition to me is a bit of fun without having to pay for it.

To that end, 3 points will be awarded for a win.

I have thought about the other comment about multiple scorers for each game and I think the 3 points for a win will deter this. However, there always seems to be 1 or 2 who will try it on. To be FAIR to all that participate if I am of the opinion that this is taking place I will send them a PM ( Yellow Card ) asking them to stop. If they don't I will deduct them 10 points ( Red Card ).

To summarise the points scores :-

3 points for the correct score.
1 point each for predicting the correct Town goalscorer/s in no particular order
1 point for nearest overall attendance prediction (3 points if exact)
1 point for nearest away attendance prediction (3 points if exact)
