Idea for a predictions game

[Panda]

Not sure how much interest there would be for this but I thought I'd gauge it.

It's a predictions game where you predict the winners of numerous divisions in the coming season. However, there is one catch: participants will take turns selecting one team at a time and once someone has picked a team in a particular division, they can't be picked again. The number of divisions we predict will be the same as the number of players taking part so no-one will be at a disadvantage depending on the order in which they pick. Each player's selections will score points depending on where they finish at the end of the season and the lowest total score wins.

Anyone interested?

Might be the Bundesliga?

Time to give some lower level football some attention so the next league is:

The Scottish Premiership



(and yes, this is purely due to Earl Purple being so presumptuous)

[Earl Purple]

Some leagues have more predictable winners than others.
By the way I'd never have guessed Plymouth would win League One last season, particularly after watching us thump them 5-1 early in the season. (We finished 10th)

I'm surprised none of the Middle Eastern billionaires have gone for a Scottish club. You could take any Scottish club and be completely dominating within a few years with guaranteed Champions League football too. They could even build a new stadium and fill it with tourists like certain clubs do.

Next addition will be the National League if we get another player signing up.

[wonderwall]

Yes I'll join

[Panda]

National League added to the list.

[Razzle Dazzle]

count me in

[Panda]

Ok, let's go with Serie A in Italy.

Last shout for this. Will get started tomorrow or Wednesday.

[smokeyb]

I'll give it a go

I wanted to get the Ashes out the way, get to August and then start thinking about football.

So I'm up for it.

If you want me to pick a league (La Liga - Spain), as I plan to get my Fantasy Football work League reactivated, and pick an initial squad.

[Panda]

OK let's add the Bundesliga and La Liga.
