Premier League Prediction Thread Not Fantasy Football for Reg ***First game 12:30 today*** - The Bear and Badger

Only if most results are draws

Alternatively make the scores stackable
Home Goals = 1 point
Away Goals = 1 point
Goal Difference = 1 point
Correct result = 2 points

Does that favour predicting a draw though?

No

hylian_elf

Doesn’t it? It means you get at least 3 points for predicting a draw while for win or loss it could be 1 to 6.

hylian_elf

Assuming you only get the bonus points if you get the WLD right in the first place.

hylian_elf

Can’t we keep it as simple as:

1 point for correct result.
2 bonus points for correct score.

Or something similar.

Just do that.
All the other stuff is participation medal waffle.

cockbeard

First one had no bonus points, all were available so yeah it probably didn't work, my second one works much better

The Daddy

How many points do we get for predicting the last goal time?

My World Cup spreadsheet can be easily re purposed to do this, so that's what we will do.

Right, I think I've got a spreadsheet that I can do this with now, so should have a table this evening.

hylian_elf

You da man.

Diluted Dante

A table!

I put Gonz down for his wish of 2-1 to the home team, although he might regret that because his 1-1 would have seen him joint top. As I'm a kind soul, I'll let him choose which one he wants to go with.

I also put down Mark Lawrensons predictions as a baseline, and embarrassingly he would also be top.

I'm fairly certain there aren't any spreadsheet errors but as always I'm happy to check anything that you think is wrong.

LivDiv

How are the points dished out?

Fucker! That was a joke because someone finally granted me my 1-1 wish, put it back!

Points are awarded for interesting predictions, as well as negative points for wrong, but widely believed answers.

Actually employing this rule send a tad harsh :-(

Diluted Dante

Daddy, where do you get the fixtures from, so I can keep the format the same?

acemuzzy

In fact you've divided my taking by three...

LivDiv

I should have 10 points I think.

Liverpool Norwich 1 point
West Ham City 1 point
Bournemouth Sheffield 3 points
Burnley Soton 1 point
Leicester Wolves 1 point
Man U Chelsea 3 points

Don't Muzzy me Dante, don't you dare Muzzy me.

I can keep going if you like.

I think the spreadsheet is wrong somewhere. It's giving you 1 point for Palace, but Larry 3 even though you predicted 0-0 and he predicted 1-1. I'll do a manual count later today, so the above table is, in the great tradition of this nonsense.

LivDiv

Nice one. No stress or anything. Its easier to spot errors if we are all checking.

What’s my score?

The Daddy

Should I have 8 points? I got 8 results correct but no correct scores.

Yes. And I now have the spreadsheet agreeing. Lets see if that works for everyone.

Diluted Dante

Do these scores look better?

Armitage_Shankburn

No they're fucking terrible

Howdy, Stranger!
