:superbru: :efl: SuperBru - EFL Championship Predictor ‘23/24

4 matches in the space of 10 days didn’t really give me much time to do updates so you can have a load in one go

Round 23

We, mostly, all did pretty well in this round but well done to @SimplySaint who aces the round by ½point

At the bottom this round is @Polski_Filip with a 7½ points from 4 correct outcomes

Round 24

2 big scores at the top of the table with @Rugbysaint claiming the :chapeau_jeune: by 1½ points.

A very poor 2 points sees @Dizzyfeet (who obviously made his own picks) grab the :wooden_spoon:

Round 25

Another :wooden_spoon: for @Polski_Filip who only managed to guess 3 outcomes, soon I’ll be overhauling him (yeah, right lady)

Top of the tree by a clear 5½ points is @TheMightyOstrich who managed to guess 7 outcomes, 4 of them spot on.

Round 26

A 3rd (third) :wooden_spoon: for @Polski_Filip with an even worse score than last round, only 3 outcomes guessed

Top, by a narrow 1 point margin, is @Saint-Rob who managed to guess 6 outcomes correctly

Leader board after round 26

Not a lot has changed to be honest, @PhilippineSaint and @DellBoy are like a rampant couple and keep switching positions.

I am still bottom, 9½ points further adrift than I was after Round 24

Round 27 - A Joint :chapeau_jeune:

Another round another :chapeau_jeune: for @SimplySaint, his 6th one of the competition so far. However it is not his and his alone, he has to share it with @JxgrSaint .

Both scored a decent 14 points, @JxgrSaint got more outcomes right though, 8 compared to @SimplySaint’s 6, the extra slam point helping @JxgrSaint.

I guess @TheMightyOstrich can count himself unlucky coming 3rd by ½point.

Bottom this week, and more rubbish than myself, is @Cobham-Saint, bizarrely it’s only his 2nd :wooden_spoon:, pretty good considering last season’s form

Leaderboard

@SimplySaint climbs 2 places to the summit, @DellBoy stays in 2nd and @PhilippineSaint drops 4 places.

Some midtable movement and I stay rooted to the bottom, getting further adrift every week.

Round 28 - A Caprine :chapeau_jeune:

A good week for the goats, 4 exact outcomes in his 7 correctly predicted ones, see @Goatboy grab the :chapeau_jeune: by 1 whole point from @TheMightyOstrich (who is quickly becoming the Bridesmaid of the competition :slight_smile: ).

Some good scores this week but I still mange to come second from bottom with a paltry 6½ points, 2 clear of @DellBoy. 3rd :wooden_spoon: incoming for @DellBoy

Leaderboard - Round 28

@TheMightyOstrich replaces @SimplySaint at the top, @PhilippineSaint gets 2 of the 4 places he lost last round back.

Guess who is still bottom??

I know. I have absolutely no explanation for my shocking level of good form so far this season.

Plenty of time to resume normal service.

Ha, at last…you were all as arrogant as the players last night…

I’m a sheep just following the herd

Wow, I do have a lot of catching up to do…holidays and the compressed schedule have put me well behind, oh well.

Round 29 - Not Many Games to Predict

Low scoring this round, expected I guess as there were only 6 games played. The :chapeau_jeune: shared by 2 players who scored a massive 9 points, well done @Dizzyfeet and @DellBoy. Both got 4 outcomes correct, 2 exact and 2 close.

Dead last this week is @PhilippineSaint who managed to predict 1 outcome, :wooden_spoon: for you young sir.

Round 30 - The Surrey Sotonian Wins Again

Well done to @Cobham-Saint on achieving his second :chapeau_jeune: of this competition, 15 points from 7 outcomes, 3 spot on. @PhilippineSaint redeems himself this round and misses the top spot by 1 point.

Bottom this round is @TheMightyOstrich who gains his 2nd :wooden_spoon:, only 4 outcomes predicted, 2 results and 2 close, at least @Numptyboi’s 4 correct outcomes were all close.

Round 31 - Well Done @Numptyboi

…who gains his first :chapeau_jeune: of this season’s competition. 8 outcomes predicted correctly, giving him 17½ points, 5 points more than @DellBoy and @JxgrSaint.

and commiserations to @SimplySaint who gains his first :wooden_spoon:, 4 outcomes predicted correctly, 1 result and 3 close. The same as @lifeintheslowlane but the tie-break went in the centaoctagenerian’s favour.

Round 32 - 5 Players got 75% of the Outcomes Predicted Properly

but only 1 can take the :chapeau_jeune: and that one is @DellBoy who managed to outscore his closest rival, @Goatboy , by 2 points. 3 correct outcomes predicted helped @DellBoy with that.

From last round’s winners to this round’s loser is @Cobham-Saint who managed to predict only 3 outcomes, 2 close and 1 exact.

Honourary mention to myself who was the only one to correctly predict the Saints outcome :slight_smile:

Leaderboard after all of that

Since the last update, Round 28, @DellBoy has managed to climb to the top of the table, a massive 6 points clear of @TheMightyOstrich, been a bit of midfield toing and froing but nothing spectacular.

I’m still bottom but now 20 points adrift of @Saint-Rob instead of 23…

Booooooooo!

See this is what happens when you study form and don’t randomly pick results

See, normal service is resumed :wink:

Round 33 - A Multitude of Matches to Mull Over

16 matches to try and guess the outcome of this round so there should be some big scores, you’d think…

And there we have it, top of the table with 22 points from 10 correct outcomes predicted is @JxgrSaint, 2 points clear of @Rugbysaint who also predicted 10 outcomes correctly.

And right at the bottom this round, 3 points adrift and only scoring 5 points is @Dizzyfeet, only 4 outcomes predicted!!

Leader Board - Round 33

@DellBoy’s poor showing this week allows @TheMightyOstrich to take over the top spot and I’m still bottom :slight_smile:

Round 34 - From Topdog to Nearly Bottom

@JxgrSaint was last round’s :chapeau_jeune: winner and, as seems to be the case, comes second bottom this round, luckily for him bottom sport was taken by last round’s overall leader @TheMightyOstrich, only 1 outcome predicted correctly earns him the :wooden_spoon:

This round’s :chapeau_jeune: goes to @SimplySaint, his 7th of the season!! Only 12 points got him to this point. 5 outcomes correct, 3 spot on and 2 close.

@Numptyboi comes 2nd again with the same number of outcomes predicted, but not as close as @SimplySaint’s

Leader Board - Round 34

@DellBoy and @TheMightyOstrich swap places again, neither can decide who wants to be on top.

Somehow myself and @Saint-Rob are matching point week after week, consequently I am still 20 point s adrift at the bottom…

Round 35 - Topsy Turvy Round!!

@BTripz wins the :chapeau_jeune: with a hammering of the other contestants, 4 points clear of @Cobham-Saint, both of them being perennial low scorers…

@PhilippineSaint gets this rounds :wooden_spoon: as @Dizzyfeet failed in his obligations.

Interestingly @Dizzyfeet only scored 1 point from the default picks, which shows how shit the default picks really are!!

Leader Board

@DellBoy still top, @BTripz still bottom but catching @Saint-Rob fast…

Round 36 - Unlucky @Dizzyfeet’s Daughter

After @Dizzyfeet promised that he’d get his daughter to make the predictions he comes second in this round, ½ point behind @lifeintheslowlane.

@SimplySaint is 3rd despite predicting 8 outcomes correctly, need to get them closer

@Numptyboi wins this rounds :wooden_spoon: 3½ points between him and @Cobham-Saint in 2nd last place (this round)

She’s done them again this week, and not been quite so successful!!

Round 37 - The @Dizzyfeet’s Return to Form :slight_smile:

After a great week last week poor @Dizzyfeet’s daughter appears to have caught her dad’s predicting skills. A complete abject performance see her gain 2½ points from 2 correct outcomes, that was 4pts worse than @Cobham-Saint, never has a :wooden_spoon: been son well deserved.

Top this week, by 1½ points is @TheMightyOstrich, some goods scores this week but his was the best. 8 out the 11 matches outcomes predicted correctly, 4 spot on.

Honourable mentions to @Goatboy, @Polski_Filip and @SimplySaint who also got 8 outcomes correct, just not quite as correct as @TheMightyOstrich.

Enjoy your :chapeau_jeune:

Leader Board - Round 37

@TheMightyOstrich extends his lead at the top, I am creeping close to @Saint-Rob and we are both creeping close to @Dizzyfeet

I’m on a slippery slope down, down, down…

I may get the cat to do this weeks predictions

Round 38 - Cats Better for @Dizzyfeet

Round 38, the last before the international break and @Dizzyfeet’s decision to let the cat do his predictions looks to have borne fruit. A mediocre score of 12 points from 10 matches sees him take the :chapeau_jeune:, 6 correct outcomes, 2 exact and 2 close. @Saint-Rob correctly predicted 7 outcomes but only got 1 exact and 4 results.

Back at the bottom this round is moi, I did score 5½ points from 3 outcomes, as did @Cobham-Saint, but my incorrect outcomes must have been way off of the mark. Oh well, another :wooden_spoon: for me.

Leaderboard - Round 38

Oh, actually, it looks like @Cobham-Saint and I shared the :wooden_spoon: :frowning_face:

So, I’m still bottom and @TheMightyOstrich is still top.

Round 39 - Comsecutive :wooden_spoon:s Ahoy

Yep, that’s right, I am officially rubbish at this Championship prediction stuff, one should remember that past performance is no guarantee of future success…or something like that.

Anyway, I did actually get 4 out of the 12 matches correct but was so far out in what the score would be that I managed a measly 4½ points.

At the other end, this round, is @lifeintheslowlane who has been doing not too shabby recently. He managed to guess 7 outcomes, 3 spot on earning himself 15½ points in the process. Have another :chapeau_jeune: old boy!!

Leader Board - Round 39

@lifeintheslowlane continues his inexorable climb to the top. I am further adrift at the bottom.

Round 40 - Yo Yo @BTripz

After a shoddy performance last round I have managed to do rather well this round.

I managed to guess 7 out of the 12 matches, only 1 spot on, earning myself a welcome 12 points. :chapeau_jeune: pour moi then…

Not bottom this round but getting the :wooden_spoon: is @Numptyboi. Numpty managed 1 outcome correctly earning himself 1½ points in the process.

He gets the :wooden_spoon: by dint of the fact that @TheMightyOstrich failed to make any predictions for this round!!

Leader Board - Round 40

And that failure to make any predictions has cost @TheMightyOstrich his spot at the top. @SimplySaint rises to the top albeit on the tie-breaker that Superbru uses.

I am still bottom but @Saint-Rob has now managed to climb from 2nd bottom. Could this be a later challenge for the top spot :slight_smile:
