1 point off the top

Even I didn't see that after my disastrous start

Fear my superior Goal Difference

International week so it is harder to predict then the impossible championship, so may wait a few days

It is nice to not have to write this up every week as well

Thanks as always Payne

Just realised I am against my nemesis Ja606, but I think I know a way to beat the system

appreciate it

We all know the way to beat it,I said it at the beginning,but thankfully so far everyone has just stuck to making predictions instead of just putting home wins with scores.

congrats on being the first to break the 100 goals for mark.

Just putting it back out there,is everyone alright with the home win rule for no shows or do they want it changing for next season,i'll let the majority decide.

I don't mind. Even though at the start I hated it I quite like the Ja606 member now.

For the others I did 3 strikes and your out when I ran the league as sometimes you would be updating the table when a member had clearly gone but it is up to you.

Disagree with Rev as that means that everyone else in the table is affected by one person forgetting to predict.

I agree rev. No submitted scores should mean nil points or if they had to have something a repeat of the previous weeks scores regardless of who is playing who

with the heads up fixture format,I can't kick out teams or it sends everything to pot.My whole aim with the home win,no show rule was,so that nobody ends up with more buys in a season then anyone else.I thought it would suck if say one player,takes points off the first half of players,quits and then the other half,all get given 3 pts.

I m for it personally,so we have 3 for and 2 against so far.

No problem.

I brought this back up now as this is the time to change to zero points for a no show,if the majority want that,since everyone has played each other once.

I'll go either way depending what the majority want.

so let me know people.

As I recall, it was Pundit who beat me by not posting on a previous international week - and look at the table now!

But I'm not that bothered - it was the results that did for me! The only real gripe I have with the current set-up is that you don't know in advance if an opponent isn't going to post.

But in the end it comes down to your predictions and whether they come true. However much skill anyone claims, it's largely a game of chance - that last-minute equaliser ruins one prediction, but that late goal elsewhere turns no points into three. All good fun!

I don't care enough to cry about it as it's only a game. Think Payne's way is fairer on the group as a whole, but not gonna get my knickers in a twist about it.

Over the course of the season that remains, I think I'll probably have one of the highest no-show rates. I wouldn't complain about 0 points (have been stuck round the bottom for most of the season anyway and have lost all competitiveness )

As a compromise, maybe a points cap could be considered e.g. a maximum of 3 points?

Anyway as I've made it here today, please find me predictions below. I'd like to get away from the 11 points mark as soon as possible, for obvious reasons :
