Welcome to the 2022/23 Premier League Predictions.

The new season is only a couple of weeks away so time to confirm your participation for the RPLP.

If any player does not confirm participation in this thread, I assume they won't be playing and replace them with a player from the division below. The deadline for confirming participation will be kick off in the first game of the season, Friday 13th August at 8pm.

Each division will be as follows, pending confirmation of each player -

LEAGUE ONE

Spanish Al
Salger

Due to quite a few people dropping out, we've just about got enough players for the 2 head to head divisions. There are currently no players for League One, so hopefully we can entice a few newbies.
If any Premier League player drops out, they will be replaced by the first player listed as above in the Championship, with the first listed player in League 1 also being pushed up a division.

New players are very welcome, but as always, please don't join if you're not willing to keep it up until the end of the season. Please use this thread to confirm you are in for next season and see you all in August

For anyone not familiar with the competition have a check of the rules here https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=349029.0

Trying to think of more effective rules around how to deal with non posting.

I've basically been winging it the last few seasons when deciding whether a player is removed or not, and if it is late in the season, just not bothering as it is too much hassle to go back and edit previous scores.

I was thinking along the lines of 5 consecutive rounds, or 10 in total means automatic expulsion.

Any suggestions are welcome.

No clever ideas on when to remove people, since any rule is as arbitrary as any other, but what do you actually do when you remove players? Does the replacement from the lower division take over the removed player's scores? With ten missed entries, would they then be certain to be relegated? Or do you recompute all the previous scores using the new player's predictions? Wouldn't this, on the other hand, potentially deny someone a title or survival through no fault of their own? If someone missed their tenth entry in the penultimate round, everyone else's scores would be affected.

Anyway, like I said, I have nothing constructive to offer, so I'm rambling instead.

Basically all their scores get changed to 0, and if they return the following season, they start back in league one.
I have in the past brought someone up from the league below, but that was when it was in the first couple of rounds and there was very little work involved in it.
The things you mention about doing it late on in the season was the dilemma at the end of last season. A couple of Championship players stopped posting, but I didn't do anything with their scores as it could've affected the outcome.
