Being a rookie, it was all about consolidation for me. Thanks for all your good work Sean.

Logan Mountstuart is this season's champion, finishing just one point ahead of Merseybeast in second place with myself in third place, six points further back. The highest scorer was Jah Womble with nine points, which included the three point bonus, also scored by CY_Boaby, for getting closest to the correct goal total of 36.Last edited by Sean of the Shed; 12-05-2019, 17:48.

I think I wrote something weepy the first time I won this about it being the only thing I've ever really won. I think Merseybeat is the moral winner this time as I'm sure he missed 2 or 3 rounds. Victory for a demented plodder this time, I fear (although I thrashed my old rival, longeared ha ha!)
With about 15 players within 30 points, anyone could win this next year, so keep supporting Sean's competition.
My only regret is that Kevin S didn't really defend his title properly. Hope he comes back.
See you all again next season, Sean willing.

Well done LM, and commiserations Merseybeast. I guess eighth place means we're not quite good enough to be challenging for the Champions League/Europa League places...yet... maybe next year. I think that makes us Wolves. Thanks again Sean.

I see Kev won with only 295 points last year. Does this mean me and Mersey are Man. City and Liverpool?
It must mean that we played more rounds this year, as I remember him being unstoppable last year.
Anyway, come back Kev.

I know that you have all been buzzing for the new season to start, because that also means the return of the one and only OTF Prediction Competition. There are very few rules, and most of you have been around long enough to know how things work, but just for the newcomers, and all are welcome, here they are:
Each round will be 10 games played on the same day, so all Saturday games, and if we do a midweek one then they will all be on the same night. Though it will be based mainly on the Premier League, there may also be lower league games, cup games, international games, European competition etc.
I'll post the games no later than 48 hours before the first kick-off, so Saturday games will be no later than midday Thursday, and midweek games will be no later than 7pm two days before, but if I can, I'll post them as early as possible.
Any posts made after the kick-off time, or edited after the kick-off time will be null and void for the relevant game(s). Watch out for early Saturday games kicking off at midday.
Predict the score of all games. Correct score is 3 points, correct result is 1 point. No minus points, no safe games, no bankers. There will usually be a bonus such as first scorer for a game, first yellow, or something like.

Can't remember who was managing my relegation escape bid last term, but anyway I've sacked him and brought in Tracy Neville. She's hoping to have a baby next year but we should be safe by then
