Leaderboard (After Game 32)

Game 30

And for the 4th game in a row we just a single best prediction. A number of you were close having got the correct score and result but the goal scorer swung it for @JimmyBantam who picks up the 5 bonus points for a total of 11

Game 31

And the run continues. @Hugh Jarse was the only person to predict a 3-0 loss so adds 5 bonus points to the 5 points for the prediction.

Game 32

And the run reaches 6 games, all last season and most of this season it was rare to only have 1 person pick up bonus points but now its 6 games in a row.

This time its @Chippy whose prediction of a 1-1 draw with Novak scoring Citys goal gets him 6 points and then a further 5 bonus points.

Leaderboard

As before I'm not doing a full update, check the table for your movement. We do have a new leader, something we haven't been able to say for a while

Oh and lets highlight @hippo, he managed to make good gains in the last update and then undid that by predicting a 17-0 win so took a 12 point penalty.

Game 1 Update

Well, that didn't go to plan now did it? Of the 103 entries, 98 of you predicted a City win. With 1 person predicting a loss that means only 4 people correctly predicted a draw,

These 4 are @Nottsy, @Frank Castle, @zico and @Ashton. They all predicted a 1-1 draw so get 2 points for the draw and 3 bonus points for having the closest prediction. As it was a no-score draw the tie-break was decided on the minute of the first booking, in this case, the 61st Minute red card of which @Nottsy prediction of the 61st minute was closest. So he picks up the extra 2 points to take an early lead as well as a copy of Football Manager 2020 upon release in November. Just leave a reply confirming you wish to claim the prize.

At the other end of the table, we have @BrotherBantam. He took the high-risk strategy of predicting a 6-0 win. If City had scored a few he would have been well placed to pick up some good points but with the penalties for each incorrect scorer when predicting 6 or more goals it proved to be a bad move. He ends Game 1 on minus 6. While he has made it harder on himself there is still plenty of matches to make that up

Congrats

 

Usually, if the winner passes on the prize it goes to the next person (Which I will need to work out who had the second-best tiebreak answer)

 

Game 2 Update

Last season perfect scores were rare, I'm not sure we even had one but in the second match of the season we have already seen a number of you get a perfect score of 6 (3 for the score, 2 for result and 1 for Vaughan scoring)

These were @BoingBoing @Meltham Massive @Tony Wilkinson @Idlebantam @Bigrod @The Granby Mullet @Bruce Bannister @Offcomedun. You all pick up 3 bonus points for having the best prediction but @The Granby Mullet picks up an extra 2 on the tiebreak

Those 11 points catapult @The Granby Mullet into the lead.

Thanks to Vaughan the majority of you added some points to your total as he was by far the most popular prediction for a goalscorer. The table shows all your place movements but as we are only 2 games in these are fairly meaningless

@BrotherBantam started his comeback after his minus 6 last match by adding 2 points. He is still on a minus figure but at least it's now only minus 4

Let me have a check

 

Ok what my script does is it reads the entries and then populates a spreadsheet where all the calculations are done. With the scorers, it groups them into columns.

So person 1 predicts a 1 nill win with Vaughan scoring it will

Mark the title of the Scorer A column to Vaughan. And then enter Vaughan into Scorer A column next to that person

The second person predicts a 2-0 win with Vaughan and Doyle scoring

Scorer A column is already labelled Vaughan so no change is needed. Vaughan gets entered into Scorer A column for this entrant.

Scorer B columns header gets changed to Doyle and Doyle is entered into this entrant's Scorer B column

The third person predicts 2-0 also but Vaughan scoring both.

Vaughan is already set as Scorer A column so that gets left and for Scorer A in that persons, entry is set to Vaughan

Scorer C header is then set to Vaughan for anyone predicting 2 goals from Vaughan. In the entry row Vaughan is entered itno Scorer C (Scorer B being left blank)

(Its a bit complicated. I could have maybe simplified it but I didn't want to full rewrite the script and spreadsheet templates for this season)


For some reason in your predicted scorers rather than going into Scorer A column your Vaughan prediction has ended up in Scorer C. So the Scorer A column which scored was blank and got no points while your correct prediction was in the scorer column that got no points as he only scored once.

I would have usually picked it up in my checks but there were so many Vaughans I think I got my rows mixed up.

Anyway I've fixed it, I won't update the table again but it will apply after next game
