Official AFC Chat Prediction League 2021/22


Recommended Posts

I was hoping that those experience with the prediction leagues would have kicked of one for the new season, but its been quiet on that front.

I'll happily take up the challenge if there are no other alternatives.

I had a look and managed to rip off an easy predictor from the internet.

Points for an exact score 10.0
Points for correct result with correct goal difference 6.0
Points for correct result 3.0
Points lost for incorrect prediction (1.0)

If it was me, i'd have made it a bit easier on myself by removing that "points for correct result with correct goal difference one!  Not a massive amount of extra work, but means you can't just glance at results and go "right...right...wrong" etc. 

Good luck! Thanks for taking up the mantel.

Fair point and if I hadn't ripped off an already populated spreadsheet, I would have probably created similar to your suggestion.

Its really simple and auto calculates so not an issue and having the differing points throws up quite a varied overall result which might be interesting

As an example, we now have 12 signed up and if I use your predictions as a test sample of the match results, there is a swing of 50 points from top to bottom on week 1, so plenty of opportunity for points and to change positions over the weeks

Name TOTAL RANK
StandFree1982 60.0 1
Donstar83 31.0 2
Don_Corleone 27.0 3
shinniesta1 21.0 4
afc1903mad 20.0 5
sheepcrooky 20.0 5
Andy_123 17.0 7
rocket_scientist 14.0 8
Roberto 13.0 9
Ten Caat 13.0 9
Zeus 13.0 9
Tommy 10.0 12

Incidentally, there was a gamble option to have the opportunity to double up on the individual results, but I removed that so to not overcomplicate.

Looking forward to it and hope more sign up

Apologies if a bit dim, but i don't quite understand the below option to win points.  Anyone explain ? 

"Points for correct result with correct goal difference"

If you said for example Aberdeen 3 Dundee United 0 as your prediction but the actual result was Aberdeen 4 United 1............ie a net 3 goal victory
