Predictions - Manchester United - 2015/2016

Ok. Probably you'll be thinking with this thread I'm copying the "Predictions thread" from the General Section but I'm not, it's a little bit different anyway.

The idea of creating this thread popped yesterday and now I have time to put in place.

In this thread we will predict the scores of Man United's games from this season. I will make a ranking of the participants, weekly updated.

If you don't obey the rules, you will be eliminated and not allowed to predict again there!

RULES:

1.General:

1.1 Every game of the season and the remaining games of the pre-season are included in the "competition".
1.2 Trolling it's not acceptable.
1.3 For the moment discussions about the predictions will take place in this thread. If there will be too many participants, predictions and discussions, I'll make another thread only for discussions.
1.4 There will be a specific format for predictions.
1.5 Every member of the forum can participate and not only Man United fans.
1.6 You are allowed to predict whenever you want, but more frequent predictions bring bigger chances of winning the competition.

2.Rankings & Predictions:

2.1 I will decide if I will put everything in several rankings or not. (for example: separate rankings for UCL, EPL, Cups etc.) Probably not.
2.2 I decide who will be the predictor of the month, or if I consider, maybe I'll make polls.
2.3 Unreal predictions are not allowed (goes hand in hand with 1.2). Don't predict scores like 7-7 or 11-0!
2.4 Don't come here and predict unreal scores every week. ex. You predict: MUTD 5-0 Chelsea. Ok, we accept this (if it happens you are very good at predicting correct scores, so I'll allow it from time to time to encourage imagination), but if next week MUTD plays against City and you predict 7-0, it won't be ok.
2.5 If you want, you can predict "last gasp" wins or draws. (recommended, can bring more points) Last-gasp will be considered if the goal will be scored in 90th minute or after. (90th minute starts from 89:01)
2.6 If you want, you can predict the first XI for the next game.  (recommended, can bring more points)
2.7 All first XI predictions must be written with at least 2 hours before the game.

3.Points:

3.1 For correct score predictions: 10 points  ex. Prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Sunderland; Final Score: 2-1
3.2 For predicting who wins: 5 point ex. Prediction: Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United; Final Score: 3-2
3.3 For predicting draws: 5 points ex. Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Manchester United; Final Score: 0-0
3.4 Predictor of the month gets an additional amount of 10 points.
3.5 Last gasp win/draw prediction: +5 points if right, -5 points if wrong (even if you predict the correct score).
3.6 Perfect 'First XI' prediction: +5 points
3.7 Almost perfect 'First XI' prediction (10/11): +3 points

Automatically hitting 3.1 implies hitting 3.2 or 3.3, but not vice versa.

Every feedback post is welcome!

I work now for the first competition so we can start it soon! Meanwhile if you like the idea and you want to join, tell me!

Lol you are not alone there

I'm too much of a suspicious nancy to partake in prediction score lines.

Could I just predict starting line-ups?

Yes, you can. But you should try to predict scores and maybe you'll get points for predicting the final result, in this case a win (like Ion Creanga did).

I changed the rules a little bit: 10 points for correct score predictions, 5 points for final result predictions.

Awesome.

Great thread, btw

Thanks! I am really curious to see who will win the competition!

Well, at least I got the overall number of goals in the match right

Unfortunately, I can't give you points for this.

You can start predictions for the next game:

30th of July, 2015 - Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain

No predictions yet, so UP with the thread!

My predictions-

Starting 11- De Gea, Darmian, Jones, Blind, Shaw, Carrick, Schneiderlin, Young, Mata, Memphis, Rooney

Scoreline- United 2-1 PSG

MU 3-1 PSG

United 2 - 1 PSG

Now most of you predicted a win, I wouldn't be surprise if we loose.

And the winner of the pre-season predictions is Glory!
