It looks like nobody has yet started this for this season and there are fixtures in just 2 days.
I don't think we can let this Haven feature not run, so I will temporarily run it this week and hopefully someone can take it over.
As usual, just predict the results with H/A/D in priority with 10 as your most confident and 1 as your least confident, and you must predict them before the games kick off. If you are correct you score 10 times the confidence rating, if incorrect you just lose your confidence rating. So if you have a 7 fixture, you get +70 if correct, -70 if incorrect.
The second post here will be for the latest set of fixtures.
As others won't be able to edit my post it may need a new topic if someone else takes this over this year..

Hummm, I announced I wasn't doing this any more in last season's thread, no-one offered to take it on, so it's good that you want it to keep going earl P, but if no one is committed to it each week, it will fall down.

Well you said if someone ran it you would continue to predict so just remember to do this by 3pm on Saturday.
Maybe different people can do it each week, but you'll need to let me edit the "current week" ones into the 2nd post after you've picked the set of fixtures to use.
Whoever runs it on any particular week just needs to do the following:
- Pick 10 fixtures, usually from the Premier League and Championship. If there are no such fixtures, e.g. international week, then pick from lower divisions. On a week like this where only one of those divisions is playing, you can do what I did or just pick everything from the one division that is playing. I guess it's up to you. In fact if you run a week you can pick from all 4 divisions on your week if you want. You run it the way you want, but it is English league fixtures only.
- After the games have been played, work out each player's score
- Add that to their previous total.
Normally we also have a monthly winner, based on calendar month.

I find the first week of a league season always tricky. I don't think any of these are likely to be certainties.
Anyway, if it's a low-scoring week I guess that will help anyone who missed this to give them a chance to catch up.

But you're not running it, just doing one week and asking someone else to do the other weeks, which probably wont happen...

I thought maybe we can take it in turns, do a week each.

Yea, it feels a bit late now to me if this isn't going to have someone doing it each week. Getting different people to do it will be tricky as not everyone looks at the thread between predictions. Tbh I'd thought it wasn't going to happen, and I'm going to struggle to have time to predict now. Also, having over half the games coming from L1 and 2 on the opening weekend spells disaster for me...Will give it some thought anyway. I'm not in the best of moods after England's women's defeat!

Let's start and see how it goes. I'll volunteer for next week if necessary. One suggestion to throw out is if no one wants to take ownership of running this then how about participating in a Fantasy Premier League, setting up our own internal League; and let the website do the work. (I know it is not the same selecting players to perform well rather than predicting Football Results each week, but it is just an idea as an alternative....) fantasy.premierleague.com/
