I know. If everyone made regular predictions for the next month then maybe we can scrap earlier predictions so that the points/played average can be used. The problem is when someone misses a week or two, it can skew their average in their favour. I shall keep a table for both scoring systems and see how things pan out...

to be honest my prediction ineptitude means I have no chance over the season, so it's a moot point really.

[????]

In terms of scores I think it would maybe just work best to say someone had to have done predictions for 50% of thee games per season? additionally you could have a champions league for those that had say done over 80% means you have to have done a reasonable number so lets class show through ; ). Don't scrap scores so far RD, that's a bit harsh on you/Jah/Otta etc who have done good

Agree with minimum participation. CL too. That could kick in when CL last 16 knock-out starts in Spring.

How about when someone misses a week they are given that week's average score? I would've thought neither too great an advantage or disadvantage. I will knock up a table later to see how that would've affected scores up to now...

I'm suspecting tactics are already coming into play, JL, PD & RD all holding back on their predictions... :)

"How about when someone misses a week they are given that week's average score?"

That'll work wonders for my score I reckon!!! :)

Liverpool to bankroll Rodgers

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/9649282/Liverpool-will-bankroll-Brendan-Rodgers-after-his-patience-snaps.html

[Otta]

Robbie Keane (?20 million), Alberto Aquilani (?20 million), Downing (?20 million), Henderson (?18 million), Carroll (?35 million), Adam (?9 million) and Enrique (?7 million)

That is a shocking line up (and it doesn't even include ?35m Caroll).

Biggest problem is they are going to have to take huge losses in order to unload any of these players, but IMO, there is no point throwing good money after bad, so just take the loss on the chin, and save on their undoubtedly high wages.

MANCHESTER United are reportedly lining up a ?12million January move for Celtic star Victor Wanyama.

Hoops boss Neil Lennon valued the midfielder at ?25m, but United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is seemingly ready to make his move and test the water with a bid of around half that

[red devil]

Don't worry Jah, nothing is set in stone at the mo, just open to ideas. What started off as a bit of fun is getting a bit more competitive :)

This latest table incorporates average scores (shown in red) for players that miss a week.

It also includes a minimum participation rule. I'm going to set the bar higher than ???? suggested 50%, and make it 75%.

This hopefuly will encourage players to participate rather than rely on getting an average score.

Anyone with less than 75% (shown in indigo) wouldn't qualify for CL and final table consideration...
