We have a winner!

So congratulations to...

Skippy!

Skippy earned a total of 8 points. Well done!

Skippy's score cannot be beaten even if someone gains bonus points for correctly guessing the Champions League winners.

Curls, DML and Finish.Last all came joint second with 4 points. Not bad, chaps!
However, if Real Madrid win the CL, Return_of_the_Star will leapfrog them into outright second place with five points.

Five players - including yours truly - got zero points. However, if Real Madrid win the CL, Tomous will remove himself from that exclusive group.

Clarkman also went for Real Madrid to win the CL, so his position might change.

Fries. Wedges. Crisps? wrote:How it works

All you need to do is post your predicted final table for the 2016/17 Premier League season.
Once the season is over, you'll get points awarded for each team that you got right - so, for example, if you pick Arsenal to finish 1st, and they do, you'd get one point, for a maximum of twenty points.
The person with the most points wins!

Is that it?

No, you will also get points for correct sequences - but the teams in question have to be in the correct place.
For example, if your top four was Arsenal, Bournemouth, Burnley and Chelsea, and the actual final top four was Arsenal, Bournemouth, Burnley and Crystal Palace, you would get three points.
No points are awarded for a correct sequence of one - so it must be at least two correctly-positioned teams in a row to score points for sequences.
Again, there are a maximum of twenty points available for sequences, meaning an overall total of forty points.

Any bonuses?

Yep, there are five other one-off predictions that you can make:

    Top Premier League Goalscorer
    FA Cup Winners
    League Cup Winners
    Champions League Winners
    First Managerial Casualty

Casualty is defined by a manager who is sacked, resigns, retires, or otherwise leaves his/her post after 13th August.

For each correct bonus answer you will be awarded two points, meaning an absolute maximum of 50 points.

Thanks for playing, everyone! :toot:

I honestly can't remember if we did or not. I took part in the previous season. Maybe do one for the WC. Include winners of each group, who makes the final, semis maybe, top goal scorer etc.
