I see a flaw in this game but not going to spoil it for others. 1-1 Mounie Besides the fact that I get to win the prize at the end being I'm doing all the work I see two things. First, putting the scorers in before seeing the team sheet may not be the wisest move. But since one can amend one's prediction up until kick off, no problem. The second is using the PM to send the score in. This means other players cannot see ALL the predictions. This is how the competition has run in the past however, since there is a rather attractive prize for the winner this year, perhaps I need to remove that option? We have had 1 person use a PM so far and I can contact him to see if I can list his prediction in this thread. Have I missed anything else Oti?

Just seems odd that that you get one point for every scorer...if it comes to the end of the season i will name every player and 11-0...score 4 goals i have a guaranteed 4 points...small flaw. Thanks for organising.

Do we name the opponents scorers as well? If so i am out...cant name 5 players these days....in the whole of the Prem! If my life depended on it i could not name a Palace player...nor their manager...nor their last manager...nor a player in the last 5 years...OK...make that 20 years.

Thanks for organising. That was brought up a few years back and the consensus was that nice people wouldn't do that. And besides when has Town ever scored more than 4 goals But as there is a golden gift at the end of this year's competition I think maybe a cap on scorers is required. And since I had to build a new spreadsheet to help me take this on (previous chap took the DATM one with him) and since I'm not a computer geek, I could only make room for 4 scorers. So we'll make that the cap. You can put Town down for a 11-0 win but only place a name next to 4 of them. This job is starting to get way more complicated than I thought and the season hasn't even started.

I play in something similar with about 15 pals....i finish second every single year...to the guy who runs it. He just wins by one or two points and we are then light years ahead of the rest. As a pro gambler i just pick the shortest odd favs but he beats me every time. What is the saying..."Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely"!?

I won this one a couple of years ago by sending in my prediction after the game and when questioned, explained that I'm in Canada and everything happens 5 hours later I'll also be playing this year and posting my scores along with everyone else, using GMT of course. Edit: Just in case anyone is wondering, the first part was an attempt at a joke.

Palace 3 -0 Town.
We'll go 0-1 down early and then chase the game like in the Championship... and get punished like in the Championship.

Palace 2-1 Town (Schindler) Do you not have the option of sending predictions via DM so no one else can see what you predicted? Otherwise you could get to a point in the season where 2 people are way ahead of everybody, the person in 1st place then just copies the prediction of the person in 2nd place in order to win the shirt EDIT: Sorry I see you did mention this above. Think a DM option would be good later in the season. Either that or if I'm up there I'll make sure to predict at 1 min before kick off
