Rules



Format Example

Please use the following format for every prediction.

Manchester United 1-1 Chelsea [Rooney] [Costa]

Posting goalscorers is optional.



Score Column


CORRECT RESULT = 2 POINTS

If you get the result right, then it's 2 points. So if Liverpool beat Southampton 4-0 and you said 1-0, then it's 2 points.


EXACT SCORE = 5 POINTS

If you get the exact score right, then it's 5 points.


Predict one or more of the goalscorers, but not all of them = 1 point.


Predict all the goalscorers correctly in the match and it's 10 points. The prediction has to be exact. So if Ronaldo scores the only goal of a match and you predict Ronaldo and someone else, you will only receive 1 point. Same with if you predict multiple goals for Ronaldo, when he only scores 1 goal.


If you predict a goalscorer correctly but get the result wrong, you will still get a point if you got at least one or more of them right, or 10 points if you got them all right.


If you get the exact score as well as the exact goalscorers, then you get 20 points for the match.



Goalscorer Column


For the 'goalscorers guessed' column, you get a point for every goal a player scores. So if you guess 2 goals for a player and he scores 2 goals, you will get 2 points. This is different to the points column, where you don't get a point for every goal. If you are level on points with someone, the goalscorer column determines who is ahead.


Other Rules


If you forget to post your predictions on time, you can still post the predictions for the games that haven't started yet.

You can also edit goalscorers up until the match starts.

If you want to edit a prediction/goalscorer for a match that is yet to kick off, however another match has already started, then you must post all your predictions again, excluding the matches that have started.

Great presentation ffs

Can't wait for this one.

Yay! Fresh and improved Prediction game!! Looking forward to it

What about an extra bonus for guessing if there are penalties and whether the goalie saves them or not?

We missed the opening round of French League

Need everyone on GL playing this game this season.

Most should play it. As long as you don't include Armenian league.

Only sometimes.

This is more professional than my thesis

Need to make this the greatest thread ever on GL ffs.

Is RvP fit? Need to know before predicting.

No idea

Gonna have to google it.

Wait, can just use Fantasy Football instead. Say's he's 'Lack of match fitness - 75% chance of playing', so yeh won't predict him.

You missed the 1st round of the DFB Pokal that starts today! Here you can still pick some matches from the weekend:
http://www.kicker.de/news/fussball/dfbpokal/spielrunde/dfb-pokal/2014-15/1/0/spieltag.html

There can sometimes be wild results, by the way. Werder Bremen for example have been eliminated in the last three DFB-Pokal seasons in the first round by lower division teams, and the next one to try it will be 4th Division FV Illertissen who might earn the nickname "Killertissen" if they manage that feat this year, as SSNHD just quipped.

Man United 2-0 Swansea [Rooney x2]
Arsenal 2-0 Crystal Palace [Giroud, Ramsey]
Liverpool 2-0 Southampton [Sturridge, Sterling]
QPR 0-1 Hull [Sagbo]
Burnley 0-2 Chelsea [Costa, fabregas]
Marseille 1-0 Montpellier [Gignac]

Was looking for some Bundesliga fixtures, but found out it doesn't start this weekend. Didn't realise there were cup fixtures, I'll put extra Bundesliga matches in when it kicks off, since people have already predicted.

You might want to ask me about Bundesliga stuff before you set up predictions for matches so that you don't miss anything of importance. And BTW, betting on DFB-Pokal fixtures is usually real fun as you can get results like AK Berlin (4th division) 4:0 HSV and so ^^

Man United 3-0 Swansea [Rooney x2, Young]
Arsenal 4-1 Palace [Ramsey, Giroud, Cazorla, Wilshere] [Puncheon]
Liverpool 1-0 Southampton [Skrtel]
QPR 2-1 Hull [Austin x2] [Jelavic]
Burnley 0-2 Chelsea [Oscar, D. Costa]
Marseille 1-1 Montpellier [Gignac]

Reigning champion in the house. BTW Who won World Cup predict the score?

and someone create a betting thread ffs

Still need to calculate the WC scores.
