Prediction League Results - Week 8 - St Charles Owl - 21-10-2021
First of all, my apologies for this being so late, been a busy week having been in England for the past 10 days and just arriving back in the US. Must do better going forward!!
Premier League
Derby. 20pts 2CS 4CR 10GB 3BB 1SB
Snooty. 19pts 1CS 6CR 5GB 3BB 1SB
Silver. 14pts 2CS 5CR -3GB 6BB 1SB
BBB. 7pts 1CS 3CR -3GB 3BB 1SB
SCO. 5pts 1CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Sanjay. 5pts 1CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
BaggieOne 4pts 1CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
Minizin. 1pt 0CS 3CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Quite a spread of scores this week. Some late comebacks ruined a few predictions (though losing points as a result of Villa's collapse is acceptable given how hilarious it was). No AAA again this week so I haven't included him in the tables, but if you want to come back just put your scores in - given how some players are performing, it won't take long to catch up!
Derby took advantage of a quite predictable gamball game (look, given the season I've had so far, I'm allowed to gloat on occasions) to head this week's table. His second consecutive maximum on the gamball added to positive scores on his other balls to give him 20 points - not bad from only 4 correct results. Snooty followed up last time's table topping performance with another good week to lie just a point behind Derby. He was the only other player to score on the gamball and also got the week's high of 6 correct predictions. Silver takes 3rd place as the only other player reaching double figures. He lost out on the gamball but more than made up for it with the week's only maximum on the bonus ball.
A gap to the rest. BBB's 1-0/0-1 theory didn't really work with a mediocre return of 7 points, though he did at least score from his bonus. SCO's flying start to the season seems just a distant memory - he has now accumulated just 8 points in the last 3 weeks - Sheffield Wednesday's late collapse costing him on his bonus. Double the pain! Sanjay had an identical record to SCO with BaggieOne 1 point behind as a result of this week's only miss on the score ball.
And then comes Minizin. Just 1 solitary point and the only player this week to fail to get a correct score. Like SCO he has only scored 8 points from the last 3 weeks as an encouraging start to the season is beginning to turn into a relegation struggle - not that I derive any enjoyment from that, honest!
Silver 110
Derby 108
SCO 91
BBB 88
Snooty 88
Minizin 83
BaggieOne 61
Sanjay 58
Silver holds on to his lead at the top though Derby is closing the gap. These 2 are the first to reach triple figures and have opened up a bit of a gap to the rapidly declining SCO who clings on to 3rd place ahead of the inconsistent BBB and the improving Snooty. Minizin is the week's big faller dropping 2 places to 6th as his early season promise evaporates. BaggieOne and Sanjay occupy the relegation spots still with quite a gap to safety.
Zin
Championship
Zinman 20pts 2CS 2CR 10GB 3BB 1SB
Blue Baggie 15pts 1CS 2CR 5GB 6BB 0SB
Amelia 12pts 1CS 4CR -3GB 6BB 1SB
Stairs 10pts 2CS 2CR NPGB -3BB 1SB
Dingle 9pts 0CS 2CR 5GB 3BB 1SB
Lady Jane 7pts 1CS 2CR -3GB 6BB 0SB
Salop 6pts 0CS 2CR NPGB 3BB 1SB
Themaclad 3pts 0CS 4CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Twerton 2pts 1CS 2CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
Better scoring week than last week, but only for some. Zinman finally finds some form and posts his best score of the season so far with 20 points. He also got his first spot on Gamball and backed that up with points on both the other balls as well. Our leader Blue Baggie also had a decent week with 15 points, he got a CR on the Gamball and a spot on Bonus to boost his score. Amelia put in her best performance since week 4 with 12 points, there is some fight in her after all!!
Stairs continues to be steady and his 10 points this week will keep him well in the promotion hunt. Dingle is 5th with 9 points, he scored a CR on the Gamball and Bonus and got the Scoreball but these were his only scoring matches keeping his score down. Lady Jane is 6th on 7 points, this will see her consolidate her table position but not much else. Salop is 7th with 6 points, he will lose ground on the leaders this week.
The bottom two didn't fare well at all, Themaclad on 3 points and Twerton on 2 points only managed one Scoreball point between them on the Balls and while Twerton got on CR he didn't get much else!!
114 - Blue Baggie
101 - Stairs
78 - Salop
78 - Dingle
71 - Lady Jane
69 - Zinman
67 - Twerton
59 - Themaclad
56 - Amelia
Blue extends his lead at the top and is now 13 points ahead of Stairs in second spot with both of them hitting the century mark. These two have now opened up a 20+ point gap on Salop and Dingle, with Lady Jane just 6 points behind them moving up one spot to 5th place. Zinman jumped 2 spots this week at the expense of Twerton and Themaclad who are now looking over their shoulders at Amelia at just 3 points behind Themaclad.
Cheers
SCO

You should have said you were in the UK. We could have introduced ourselves.
Socially distances of course!

Thanks for the update.
Just shows you don't have to know about football to toss a coin ?

When I saw I had 7pts i thought no way was that right. I looked at my book and saw I had 15pts, so looking back at Saturdays results saw I did have 15pts and thought to mention it, but thought I'd first look at the predictions I posted and saw on the gameball 0-1, whereas in my book I had 1-0. So there it was, a ruddy mistake in not concentrating and putting in my books predictions thereby losing me 8pts.
Easy done but stupid as it cost me 3rd place.
