Faz's Footy Fixture Forecast 2022 - 2023.

[Faz]

The game is easy to play. For each game week of fixtures, just predict the correct result and score.
10 points if you get the result correct (home, win, draw) + 30 bonus points for correctly predicting the exact score of each fixture.

Rules:
1. Correctly selecting the fixture as home, away or a draw earns you 10 points.
2. Predicting the exact score of any fixture result earns you an extra 30 ‘bonus’ points.
3. You cannot change match predictions or scores after first submission.
4. Any postponed matches will be void, and nil points awarded for that fixture.
5. Predictions to be submitted no later than 1 hour before the first game kick off time.
6. Failure to submit your prediction in time will result in a ‘default’ of being awarded 20 total points less than the lowest ranking member's score for that week, or ‘zero’ if a member scores less than 20 points.
7. Members joining the game later than the first round will be awarded 20 total points less than the lowest total score of existing members, or zero, if the lowest member's total score is 20 or less, then allowed to proceed with submitting predictions for the remaining weekly games.
8. Members who fail to submit predictions for 5 consecutive weeks will be eliminated from the game for the remainder of the season.

Games to commence, Aug 6th 2022.

Post your predictions in chronological order of fixtures as posted, as either;
1-0
2-0
1-4, OR,

You may prefer to copy and paste the weekly fixtures posted and enter your predictions thus:
C Palace v Arsenal                 0-2
Fulham v Liverpool               1-3
Bournemouth v A Villa         2-2
Leeds v Wolves                      1-0
etc
etc
 

When all members have submitted their predictions, I'll post the first XL spreadsheet, for members to check their details before first match kick off.

When all fixtures have been played, I'll post another XL sheet with points tally for weekly games.

Good luck to all players.

Faz.

I’m in for sure ️
Holding off on my tips though until a bit closer to kick-off. 

Also waiting to see what @Marble-eyepicks  

[Faz]

I'll send a PM to previous players in case they miss the posts 

[Marble-eye]

Yup count me in too, will the Last Person Standing Comp also be running this season? Thanks

[Chaimai]

I took the LPS game over from John in Dublin, when he abruptly departed, so as not to disappoint the existing players. I had/have no plans to reinstate the game this year.
KC had a suggestion for an alternative game that he was going to run, but he's now concentrating on his writing.

If a n other is prepared to run it, I'd definitely participate again, hint, hint, nudge, wink!

Call for @snapdragon to get involved again.

No good asking me I relied on KC to check my scores, I have heard that @BigHewer can be very obliging though.

[Marble-eye]

I think another Leeds supporter may be interested, unless there is a limit on quality team competitors, @DwizzleyMatthews

Yep, I do believe he posted his interest somewhere.
Not sure the game can stand two Leeds supporters. 

Born and bred a Man Utd fan myself.

She never played the FFFF game.
@BigHewer would never live it down if she beat him, and if he beat her it would be 7/11 meals for life.
It's a marriage thing!

[Faz]

Where's @Slacker77, sure he posted on the forum earlier.

[DwizzleyMatthews]

Yup, count me in @Faz

Have a good feeling about this season, the tactic of selling all your best players right before the season starts is a brave move but I am sure with Ted Lasso now in charge it’s the right one.

I mean, what could possibly go wrong ?

Time to start making those predictions, folk.
First game kicks of 1230 UK time, Aston Villa v Everton.

@BigHewer is also running the Last Person Standing (LPS) game, so make sure you enrol and make your team selections in that game here: https://thethaiger.com/talk/topic/16336-english-premier-league-last-person-standing-202223/

Last year @Marble-eye won both the LPS and FFFF games, and he'd have us believe he's some kind of Dr Doolittle and gives credit to his dog for his selections.

Back to the FFFF game, and I'll start by submitting my predictions for game week 1, Aug 6th.

C Palace v Arsenal                      1-3
Fulham v Liverpool                     0-3
Bournemouth v A Villa               1-1

Newcastle v Notts Forrest          2-0
Spurs v Soton                               3-0
Everton v Chelsea                        1-2
