:superbru: :pl: SuperBru - Premier League Predictor ‘24/25

Bottom of the league to 8th place. Not bad considering i know fuck all about soccerball.

Interesting to note that @JxgrSaint and I have both got 164 outcomes correct…

I have got 34 exact compared to @JxgrSaint’s 33 - +3 to me
I have got 69 close compared to @JxgrSaint’s 71 - +3 to @JxgrSaint
I have got 61 close compared to @JxgrSaint’s 60 - + 1 to me
We both have 22 slam points

You’ll notice my Superbru performance reflects the performance of the team I support.
I expect a resurgence in form next season as it did in the 2023/2024 season. :slight_smile:

I expect my betfair account to increase by the same amount. This year has been dismal on the Saints front

Round 34 - 26th April - 1st May

Thought I’d done this round, but oh no, Btripz is behind again!!! However, in my defence, the round did finish on Thursday evening…

Well done to @Polski_Filip who takes this round’s :chapeau_jeune: by 1½ points from @Numptyboi, @Polski_Filip’s 12½ points consisted of 6 correct predictions, 2 exact and 3c lose, add in a slam point for good measure.

At the bottom this round, with a solitary 5 points is @PhilippineSaint, 4 outcomes predicted, 2 close and 2 results…

Leaderboard - Round 34

The tussle between @JxgrSaint and myself continues as we are tied at the top, however I fall to 2nd place on a technicality :slight_smile:

@Saint-Rob remains at the bottom of the table but @PhilippineSaint is approaching him fast.

Round 35 - 2nd - 5th May 2025

Strange round of results which some of us handled, some of us didn’t.

@Numptyboi takes his 2nd :chapeau_jeune: of the current campaign with a decent 14 points, 1 point clear of @Saint-Rob. @Numptyboi’s score includes 4 close and 2 exact predictions.

@Saint-Rob managed 8 correct outcomes but the lack of exact ones hampered his chances.

3 players tied on 2½ pts for the :wooden_spoon: but @JxgrSaint takes it on the tie-break, his bad predictions being more bad than the other 2.

Leaderboard - Round 35

Is the pressure too much for @JxgrSaint, he slips 2 places to 3rd whilst @TheMightyOstrich and I are tied at the top, I manage to nick 1st place on the Superbru tie-break criteria.

@Saint-Rob hauls himself off of the bottom of the table to be replaced by @Dizzyfeet, only 3½ pts between the bottom 3 players.

It looks to be an intriguing end to the season…

Round 36 - 10th-11th May

Another one bite the dust, it would appear that @Dizzyfeet has given up the ghost and has not been putting predictions in. Oh well.

Some distinctly average scores this round but top of the pile is yours truly with a decent 11½ points from 5 correct predictions, 3 close and 2 exact, plus 1 bonus point.

If only @Goatboy’s result had been an exact.

:wooden_spoon: this round goes to @DellBoy with a sultry 2½ points, 1 result and 1 close!!

Leaderboard

I stretch my lead at the top to 7 points from @TheMightyOstrich

@PhilippineSaint technically is now bottom thanks to @Dizzyfeet’s lack of activity.

Round 37 - 16th-20th May

Some decent scores this round but top of the pile is @Polski_Filip with a decent 16 points from 7 correct predictions, 4 close and 3 exact, plus 1 bonus point.

If only @Goatboy’s result had been an exact.

:wooden_spoon: this round goes to @PhilippineSaint with a poor 4 points, 1 result and 2 close

Leaderboard

I’m still topdog but now by only 5½ points. @JxgrSaint is ½ point closer to @TheMightyOstrich and, now, only 1 point clear of @Polski_Filip.

I guess anyone in the top 4 could steal take the crown after the final rounds games

Sadly I think @PhilippineSaint is cut adrift at the bottom and probably won’t be able to rescue himself.

I am not accepting bottom @Dizzyfeet is still below me I don’t care if he puts in a score or not he is still in the game until a written withdrawal notice is given in triplicate :slight_smile:

FPL is also exciting going into the last week

Ha…

You’ll notice, next season the real football supporters will again float to the top. You and I will be fighting it out for the Superbru Crown.
The VARless Championship is REAL Football.

Week 38 - The Final Round

The Final round of the Superbru Premier League Predictor for the 2024-25 season was a bit anticlimactic to be honest!

Well, that’s if you weren’t keeping an eye on the scores, I think at half time I had only a couple of point but how things were to change.

By the final whistle I had achieved a mahoosive score of 11 points (4 close, 1 exact and 1 result) and this round’s :chapeau_jeune: (my 6th of the season overall).

Bottom of the pile this week and earning their 8th :wooden_spoon: was @PhilippineSaint, @Dizzyfeet and @sainthugh having given up I believe

Fina Leaderboard

With me winning the final :chapeau_jeune: on offer I also cemented my spot as Superbru '24/25 Champion. All hail King Bob

@Dizzyfeet finished bottom of the standings however I think, technically, it should go to @PhilippineSaint , oh well…

Victory Speech

I would like to thank my fellow competitors for keeping me honest during the season, @JxgrSaint for peeking far to early, marathon not sprint come to mind and for all the rest for their hard work in trying to catch me.

The PL Predictor will rest for a couple of season whilst Saints languish in the 2nd Tier of the Football Pyramid, licking their wounds and re-finding their mojo.

Hope you all enjoyed

Oh wait.

Now. How did you do in FPL @BTripz ?

Congrats Btripz. Mid table mediocrity for me. Must try harder.
