Week 1 - Hey Mr Tangerine Man

Nowadays, a Chelsea 6-0 home win isn't really big news, so Blackpool's amazing start is the highlight of Week 1. That was one of the reasons I didn't think there would be too many big scores this week, but I was wrong again! 3 of you scored 200+ and Jonny Wilkes' brilliant 255 (9/10 correct + bonus team) makes him a clear early leader. 100+ was a good score but If you didn't have have a good week, it can all change very quickly. For those that were unaware, you can (and will!) score minus pts in this game..a 94th minute goal really can make all the difference, and just to prove it's not easy, we already have some large minus scores this week, with -70 from Brian Oliver propping up the table...and Brian is the Sports Editor at the Observer! (sorry Brian!)


Each week on this front page you will see who has won the weekly £50 (and what their scores were), the top 20 scorers of the week, the current Top 10 in the table and confirmation of the Bonus team. All of you are in the Overall League, and a Minileague too. All the Links are to the right. You'll find yourself much quicker in your minileague link!


You can also post a comment on here in the RECENT COMMENTS column to the left. Wind up a friend or start some banter. All you have to do is click on the "COMMENTS" link just below this entry


NB - Before anyone questions their score, pls remember that this season a "Spot on" Home Win is worth 40 pts (last season it was 30).


Hope you had a good first week, Ciro


THIS WEEK'S £50 WINNER. Well done to:


JONNY WILKES - 255 PTS (His predictions were:)

The new season begins on Saturday 15 August

I hope that many of you are entering again this season - and if you are a NEW player, you are very welcome to join us. The cost is still £20 for the entire season. The Week 1 fixtures will be sent out on Sunday 9 August, so please make sure you are paid up by then. If you haven't played before, please check out this blog, especially the links on the right of the page. There you will see how the Overall League Standings finished last season, as well as each of the 40 Minileagues (every player is is one). You can also see how the pts are calculated in the How you score points link further down. It is the pts scoring system that makes this game unique. A lot of pts can be won or lost every time a goal is scored, and prize money is never secure until the final whistle blows! Each weekly winner wins £50, and the overall prize money is calculated once all entries are received. Atb, Ciro and Blogmaster David.
