:pl:⚽ SuperBru - Premier League Predictor '21/22

Round 21 - A protracted round

Well done to @Goatboy who predicted 7 out of the 10 results for this protracted round, 3 of them exact, and 3 close, this has won him this week’s :chapeau_jeune: by a country miles from @PhilippineSaint, who got 6 results but no exacts.

Well done to @Numptyboi who pipped me to this week’s :wooden_spoon:, to be honest I think me getting the West Ham v Norwich score correct had more to do with it as @Numptyboi predicted 4 results correctly to my 3

Round 22 is a biggy as well so get your predicting caps on…

Leaderboard

@Rugbysaint and @Polski_Filip swap places again, whereas there is quite a bit of movement in mid-table with me dropping 3 places, @Goatboy and @lifeintheslowlane both climb 2 places but it’s tight in the middle.

Round 23 - The return of @Upsidedownsaint

Round 23 sees the return to the predicting fold of one of our Antipodean posters, I am of course referring to @Upsidedownsaint :clap:

Our late joiner @Dizzyfeet had a comparatively stonking week, getting 5 out of 11 results right, 3 exact, this has earnt him a :chapeau_jeune:

Less said about the performances at the other end of the table the better.

With @Upsidedownsaint back in the fold and @Dizzyfeet winning, @Dizzyfeet extends his lead over the foot of the table to 43 points, however it looks like the only way is up for him…

Hmmm, interesting, 1 game to go for this round, not being played until a week Saturday do to the international “break”

@TheMightyOstrich is currently leading @Upsidedownsaint by 3 points and, unless they change their predictions, then @TheMightyOstrich will win.

'tis a bit tighter at the bottom with any of the current bottom 5 (me, @PhilippineSaint, @JxgrSaint, @Saint-Rob, and @Goatboy) looking likely to come last (based on their current predictions).

I’ve locked mine so can’t change it but if you haven’t locked yours do you feel brave enough to change your prediction??

The end of a protracted round

Well that was a long round wasn’t it and congrats to @TheMightyOstrich who has had a storming week, managing to get 7 out of 11 predictions correct, 4 of them exact, earning himself 17.5 points and this week’s :chapeau_jeune:

At the bottom @PhilippineSaint’s earl;y season predictions didn’t quite work out this time around and his 1 exact and 1 close earns him a paltry 4.5 point and the :wooden_spoon:

Lots of change in the leader board, @Rugbysaint regains his coveted second spot and also some ground on @Polski_Filip, mid table has more changes than I can mention, @Upsidedownsaint gains some ground on @Dizzyfeet at the bottom.

quick turnaround this week with the next games starting on Tuesday, make sure you get your predictions in.

c’mon @Cobham-Saint, @DellBoy, @Dizzyfeet, @Goatboy, @lifeintheslowlane, @Polski_Filip, @SimplySaint, and @TheMightyOstrich you’ve not got long to go…

I may need to recheck mine and adjust them seeing the last set of results.

You’re not alone, only @Rugbysaint is covering himself in any glory, although @Dizzyfeet has a good score from 3 correct predictions so far.

Round 24 - Pipped at the post by @PhilippineSaint

My previous post lauding @Rugbysaint was maybe a but premature as he was pipped at the post by @PhilippineSaint who predicted both of the last 2 games correctly, 1 close, 1 exact, this let him steal the lead, and his 2nd :chapeau_jeune:, by ½ a point.

Other end of the week sees a familiar story last week’s winner, @TheMightyOstrich, has a rubbish week and earns his 4th :wooden_spoon:, again by ½ point!!

the leader board sees @Rugbysaint climb back to the summit, although it is now a joint lead with @Polski_Filip.

Due to his short hiatus @Upsidedownsaint is still bottom but it looks like I will soon be overtaking him there :slight_smile:

The Post @Dizzyfeet Epoch is quite interesting reading as well, he might well be leading if he’d joined in from the start

Lots of extra games this week, get your fingers out @DellBoy, @Numptyboi and @dizzy

Round 25 - A pretty good week all around

Well done everyone for a good week of predicting, especially to @Goatboy who’s 8 predictions (out of 11) earns him a narrow victory over @Upsidedownsaint, @Goatboy got 5 close and 1 exact in his 8 results, whilst @Upsidedownsaint only managed 7 results, 4 close and 2 correct. Wear your :chapeau_jeune: with pride @Goatboy

The other end of the table sees the continuation off a bad couple of weeks for @Cobham-Saint, his 4 results earn him 6.5 points and the :wooden_spoon: by ½ a point.

Lots of change in the leader board with @DellBoy claiming top spot from the recent 2 combatants, @Cobham-Saint continues his plummet down the table, I’m sure it won’t be long before @Upsidedownsaint overtakes him.

On to the next round people, big one next week.

A reminder of the winners and losers so far…

Me too. How come I use mathematical logic based on over 60 years footballing knowledge to be beaten by young chancers using guesswork.

There’s no justice in this world anymore. :lou_facepalm_2:

Who wants a wooden spoon I have 5 so far

and I’m still not last :slight_smile:

My method of predicting the score by the team shirts only needs a little refinement and I’ll show you, you no marks!

Round 26 - Nostradamus come good!!

So spake @Cobham-Saint and how correct was he?? An extended round this one, with 14 games to predict results for (based on team shirts obvs) and hethey managed to get 8 results correct, 2 exact and 3 close, someone somewhere must have seen a black cat walk by!! @Cobham-Saint goes from last week’s loser to this weeks :chapeau_jeune: winner.

Our other resident antipodean (although we probably have lots more) @Upsidedownsaint can consider themselves unlucky as they had the same number of exacts, close and result as @Cobham-Saint, however the Superbru algorithm has decided that the latter’s were more deserving of the top spot.

As seems to be the case @PhilippineSaint sees themselves, once again, at the bottom of the predictions. 1 results and 3 close, poor effort there but it gets you this week’s :wooden_spoon:

Leader board

@Polski_Filip stays where he is, just, @Cobham-Saint moves up, @Dizzyfeet drops a place and @Upsidedownsaint is now only 36.5 off of the 2nd last place.

Round 27 - All Hail the Saint from Rugby

What a stonking round @Rugbysaint had this round, they obviously want to get that top of the leader board spot back. I don’t think I’ve seen a better performance, only 1 match mis-predicted out of 9, with 4 (four!) sport on, 2 close and 2 results. A well deserved :chapeau_jeune: :clap: :clap: :clap:

The closet to @Rugbysaint was the forum’s nipper, @SimplySaint, but he was 7 points back!!

Unfortunately it seems that @PhilippineSaint’s predicting of all the scores at the beginning of the season has come back to bite him on his arse, big style, 2nd consecutive :wooden_spoon: and 7th overall, and yet he isn’t bottom of the table, or even near it!!

Leader Board

@Rugbysaint’s predicting prowess has seen him leapfrog @Polski_Filip to the top of the leader board and open out a 6.5 point lead.

@Upsidedownsaint has gained another 1 point on @Dizzyfeet

Lol, thank you, thank you.

After a month or so of emotional unrest, I’ve been left (as they say) ‘free to concentrate on the league’.

I’ll bask in the glory all week until the inevitable happens and I crash back down to earth in the next round. :joy:

Round 28 - 3rd Consecutive :wooden_spoon: for @PhilippineSaint

Whilst everyone seemed to have a good predicting week, 4.5 points separating the top 13 players, poor old @PhilippineSaint’s run of bad predictions seems to continue. This week’s :wooden_spoon: earned with a paltry 7 points, 3 results, 2 close and a slam point, still that’s 5 games predicted.

@Polski_Filip takes this week’s :chapeau_jeune: thanks to an extra slam point. Him and @lifeintheslowlane got the same points for their predictions but as @Polski_Filip predicted 10 results (none exact) he got 3 slam points. @lifeintheslowlane predicted 9 results (1 exact) but only got 2 slam points. Such is the margins.

Leader Board

@Rugbysaint still leads but now by 5 points. Everyone else is how they were except @Cobham-Saint and @PhilippineSaint who swap places.
