REGULARS PLEASE READ ASWELL AS THERE IS ONE RULE CHANGE The new season is upon us and i invite you to join the longest running prediction league on the LFC message boards- back for the 6th season running.
The rules are simple and anyone is welcome to join in. All we ask of you is to come up with a prediction for each of Liverpool's matches over the course of the season.
Here is how to play....
You will have to predict:
-The LFC starting 11
-The 1st goal scorer
-The final score (or the score after 90 minutes in cup games)
-The total Disciplinary Points
The points are awarded as follows-
-1 point per correct player in the starting line-up
-10 points for the correct goalscorer (10 points also for guessing no goalscorer)
-10 points for correct full time score
- 5 points awarded for the correct total disciplinary points (DP Points are given as: 2 for every yellow card, 5 for every red) So, 2 players get booked = 4 DP, 2 players booked and 1 sent off = 9 DP etc. If you come within 1 point of the correct total you will be awarded 4 points, come within 2 you’re awarded 3, come within 3 you will get 2 points and finally 1 point for coming within 4.
Two bookable offences leading to a red will count as 5 for that player not 4. Obviously 5 for a straight red aswell
-There is a bonus 3 points up for grabs if you guess the correct result but not the exact score line (e.g. you predicted LFC win 4-0 but we win 5-0, you predict 2-2 and its 1-1) You will not be given these 3 points if you guess the correct score line.
When predicting the full time score please state which team you are predicting to win (e.g. don't post 2-1, instead post 2-1 to LFC) If a team is not stated I will presume you are putting Liverpool as first.
If you post more than 11 different players the first 11 will be taken. If you predict a position with players side by side creating a choice i.e Gerrard/Alonso, I will take the first mentioned. In this example Gerrard, even if you have only mentioned 9 other players.
Of course if you post the same player twice you will only get one point!!!

Entries (and edits) must be posted within 1 hour before KO. If entries are late (even by 1 minute you will not get any points for your prediction)
For example if LFC KO at 3:00 and you post at 2:00 this will not count as it will be past the 1 hour deadline. Even if the Kick Off is delayed
If you change username and wish to post as the new username the points from your old name will be added only if the two have never posted at the same time in the same game
Your entry will count for every single game Liverpool play this season (including cup games and Europe). After every match your scores will be calculated and a league table will be updated and posted in this thread.
The first match will take place against Maccabi Haifa on Aug 9th KO 20:05
And yes the Charity Shield will also be included!!
Feel free to start posting your predictions at any time before the 1 hr deadline.
There will also be a cup competition run from the 3rd round of the FA Cup; willing participants must declare themselves so in the lead up to the 3rd round.
Off we go and may the best man win!! (i.e Me
)
