BBC Premier league predictor.
Anybody else do this each week?
I've noticed that it allows one to start or join a league. It would add a bit more interest if there was a UTC league. Does one already exist or anyone fancy starting one?

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
NNN
I did this a fair bit last season but forgot many weeks. I'm trying to remember to do it weekly this season and have managed the first two rounds and just done this weekend's.
Got 90 and 120 in the first two weeks= 210.
The Beeb article for this week (Lawro v Tatum Channing) suggests that the highest scorer after two weeks is at 380 and Lawro at 5171st place with 190. Article mentions 150,000 participants.
Anyroad- I'm ahead of Lawro so far & would be miffed if I wasn't. See how it looks after this weekend.
I'm trying to get into the routine of doing at tagged onto updating Fantasy Football team selections Friday evening/Sat morning.

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
Sadly I'm on only 130 points from the first two weeks. 380 is a great score for whomever that is, must have got quite a few correct scores. Your 210 isn't too bad either. Good luck with this week.

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
I've got nicely into the habit of doing this as I update my Fantasy Footy team so haven't missed a week yet.
Good to see a fair bunch of us above Lawrenson who's on 570 & in 11,088 place (out of c. 225,000 participants). I'm guessing that the top of our league (oggy) is in the first 3-4,000 with 680 points?

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
An excellent week 13 sees oggy2uk climb above RalphCoatesComb to take top spot in the UTC Predictor league. It is tight at the top with only 10 points separating them, 1320 and 1310 points respectively. Hot in pursuit is Hazardpilicueta in third on 1220.
Only 100 points separate the chasing pack from Clarets11 in fourth with 1110, down to 10th place occupied by ClaretJoe on 1010.
Everyone else has yet to reach a four figure points return including myself under the guise of Main Lip on 990, I'm in 11th.
Week 14 are Tuesday and Wednesday fixtures starting with four games tomorrow night. Time to register your predictions, good luck.

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
Just for fun, someone could post a UTC PL predictor thread like the player ratings thread and have an informal competition, say all scores have to be in by midnight Friday. 1 point for the correct result i.e. win lose or draw and 3points for the exact score. Informal and every week if somebody can remember to do it, no signing up, just who can be bothered on whatever weekend.
I'm not going to do it, but I might join in.

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
I did an exercise this am re how many points I would've had if I'd just bunged in a 1-0 home win for every single match every week. Answer was 1400 & I'd be 3rd in the league. The best weeks would've been weeks 2 and 11 when there were 3 X 1-0 s and 2 other home wins so 140 points each time.
In fact, for all my consulting of league tables/recent form/who's injured & other deliberations, I've got 200 less points than that at 1200. Still- it's fun going through those deliberations, as I just have for this midweek round of games.

Re: BBC Premier league predictor.
At the half way point in the season, RalphCoatesComb continues to dominate the UTC predictor league with some excellent points returns. He's held top spot for pretty much most of the season with oggy2uk, also gaining good points on a weekly basis, getting the odd glimpse at no1. Hazardpilicueta isn't doing too bad with his predictions either and continues to maintain 3rd, which means the top three has changed little over the period. From 4th to 10th it's very interesting with only 70 points the difference.
Anything can happen in the second half of the season so it's still all to play for, starting with game 20. This kicks off at 12.30 on Boxing day at Wembley where Spurs take on the Saints, time to make your predictions before the events of Christmas lead you to forget.
1. 1910 RalphCoatesComb
2. 1790 oggy2uk
3. 1690 Hazardpilicueta
4. 1570 ClaretJoe
4. 1570 Dingle League
6. 1560 HalfCup
6. 1560 Sfhammer
8. 1550 clarets11
9. 1520 RickersTwickers
10. 1500 bdccqc (LeadBelly)
Everyone else has yet to reach 1500 points including myself in 12th with 1450.
Good luck and have a very merry Christmas. UTC.
