    Yep, right result but wrong score is 6 points for a win prediction so make it the same for a draw.
    How many entered so far Matt? Plenty of ‘views’ on the thread but how much action?
    Come on – support The Bru!!!

    Happy to set the points system to something everybody agrees on.

    Righto, so that’s 25 points for a correct 2-1 or 1-2 scoreline?! 😜

    It’s our time.

    Surely we can get the views of more than two members of the Prediction League regarding six points or fourpoints for CORRECT DRAW FORCAST BUT NOT THE CORRECT NUMBER OF GOALS, JUST TAKE A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME GUYS AND PUT EITHER SIX OR FOUR, it cannot be any more simple.

    I have signed up for another season and look forward to trying to knock my old adversary BS off his perch!

    And not for the first time (it’s actually only the second time) I also agree with BS on the points change for a draw. Seems fair to me.

    I don’t however agree with his 2-1 nonsense – how does he propose this could be regulated?

    BS is a purist, he takes it seriously and gives it thought. Not everybody treats it the same, for example misterton mick, Sanfran and myself consider predicting an Iron win to be the kiss of death and so don’t do it. If The Iron have a winning season we have no chance in the PL but it’s a good swap for on-field success. (Hang on how come mick, Sf and me weren’t 1-2-3 in the PL last season? Other results obviously went against us!)

    I don’t mind people putting 2-1 every game. 1-1 is the most common score in L2 with 13.5% of games played. 1-0 is 11.2% and 2-1 only 9.9% I think 6 points for a draw would be best and now everyone is going to be putting 1-1 for every game.

    Don’t tell me he’s wrong again!!

    He might ask for the score draw points to be changed again:
    1-1
    1-1
    1-1
    1-1
    1-1

    OK Heath, lets make 1-1 draws worth 15 points ha ha!

    Oppidum, what is the % for 2-1 or 1-2 if the match looks like an away win ??

    1-2 occurs 5.8% of games. That’s less than 0-1 which comes up 8.1%.

    I really don’t care what the points scoring system is, so long as it is applied consisently and that the rules are made clear to all of us before the season starts.

    Morning folks,

    The first two rounds of games are now online.

    Scoring as follows:
    CORRECT SCORE – 10
    CORRECT RESULT BUT WRONG SCORE & DRAW – 6
    CORRECT NUMBER OF GOALS – 1 BONUS (Cumulative)

    Hope this is OK with everyone

    Not clear on point 3 Matt, does this mean if you predict 4-0 and it finishes 2-2 that you get a bonus point?

    I.e User guesses Scunthorpe 1-0 Newport

    Game ends Scunthorpe 1-3 Newport, 1 pt awarded for correct number of goals Scunthorpe scored.

    So, in that case, a 1-0 result would be 10 plus 2 bonus, 1 for both scores. Got it, thanks Matt.

    Still a few days left for a last minute rush, YOUR forum needs YOU.
    It’s less than 4p per day to join – fantastic value and a welcome distraction from the dire football we’ve been watching lately.

    You should get a message saying ‘Predictions saved‘ upon saving the form. You may have to save the League Cup games, then do the EFL Trophy but it should save them all by clicking the one button.

    Having checked, I can see your predictions are saved for both rounds of fixtures.

    On another note, all players will be entered into a draw to win a copy of Max Bell’s book. Winner announced Saturday…

    Not at all Matt. Need to maintain the forums independence – I don’t think many realise what a vital support stream this is.

    Good luck everyone.
