I’m sure that must have been painful for you John, selecting your *ahem, cough* beloved Hammers for a win

Hi, fellow FFFF-ers!

@BigHewer, @Faz, @JohninDublin, @Marble-eye, @snapdragon, @Slacker77 and @Chaimai

Now into its 3^rd game-week, I suspect all FFFF players will be enjoying the new game’s format. With us all being involved every week and with there (normally*) being a full 10 matches to predict, there’s always plenty to think about! Here are the scores-on-the-doors, after last night's 3 matches . . .

BH	DB	FZ	JD	KC	ME	SD	SK	CM
60	-	10	10	10	10	50	10	20

No surprise that BH (TT’s Mr Soccer!), along with Chaimai, got the little-predicted NEW v EVE result correct, but his and Snapdragon’s forecasting the 1-1 draw for the BUR v UTD game were veritable masterstrokes, as reflected in these interim scores . . . even Lawro only managed a measly 10 points!

Let’s see how things stand in the morning, after tonight’s City, Norwich, Spurs and Villa games . . . geez, the tension is almost nail-biting!

Good luck all . . . sort of!

KC

*For the curious, it’s Chelsea’s involvement in the FIFA Clubs World Cup competition that has caused their GW24 & 25 games, against BHA and Arsenal respectively, to be postponed.

With us all being involved every week and with there (normally*) being a full 10 matches to predict, there’s always plenty to think about! Here are the scores-on-the-doors, now with 7 results on board . . .

 

BH	DB	FZ	JD	KC	ME	SD	SK	CM
110	-	20	20	20	70	60	70	30

 

With BH predicting a further correct score and a correct result, looks like there'll be no stopping him . . .  unless the other high-scoring players, namely ME, SD, SK & CM can predict both this evening's games scores correctly. Just 2 correct scores, that's all . . . and assuming BH fires a couple of blanks . . . easy-peasy!

Hi, Faz . . . here are my W25 predictions . . .

Man Utd v Soton           2-2
Brentford v C Palace    1-1
Everton v Leeds            1-2
Watford v Brighton      0-1
Norwich v Man City      0-3
Burnley v Liverpool      0-2
Newcastle v A Villa        2-2
Spurs v Wolves              1-1
Leicester v W Ham        2-1

After 3 dismal weeks with W22 just going on gut-feeling, W23 looking at Lawro & Co and this week looking at every YouTube ‘expert’ under the sun, I’ve decided to use the Nil Desperandum approach for W25 and just pulled the scores out of a hat . . . or thin air, at least!

Very tough game, this . . . for us less footie-minded souls !

With 5 of W25's nine matches played, here are the scores-on-the-doors . . .

 

BH	DB	FZ	JD	KC	ME	SD	SK	CM
20	-	30	-	40	60	70	20	60

 

And, just for a few minutes, it was looking like my 'pulling the numbers from thin air' approach was working but then,  @snapdragon  had to go and get the score, for the Norwich vs City 0-4 thrashing, exact . . . kudos, yet again, SD!

Are you sure KC, I said 0-3 for Norwich v Man City. But I think @Faz will agree it is near enough for all the points.

Oh yeah? . . . pull the other one  ! 

You did get the WAT vs BHA score correct, as well as the BRE and NOR results for your 60 points . . . some folk are never satisfied  !

Near enough is just short of the mark. 
10 points for the 0-3 prediction.
Nice effort though 

KC's updated scores so far for this week are exactly the same as mine.

A bit of a dismal week for correct predictions, with the highest score being only 80 points.

@Marble-eye still the overall leader, although @BigHewer now snapping at his heels in second place.

Well done @Marble-eye you spotted the deliberate error I created to see if anyone was taking notice 

It does of course mean the highest scores this week were in fact 80 points.
