Welcome back to the WBA Prediction League for the 2023/24 season!!
Looks like nearly all the players from last season have returned. Amelia has decided to take early retirement, we wish her well!!
For those of you who do not take part but are reading this, why don't you give it a try?? There really isn't anything to fear from this group of predictors and who knows you may do what Blue Baggie did and gain promotion in your rookie year!! But seriously, all are welcome and it would be great to see a couple of new names fighting it out in the tables each week.
As you will see Zinman and I have switched divisions with regards to which one we score after I was good enough to get relegated last season and put us in different leagues. It will be good to see us switch back next season when Zinman does the honorable thing after I set the precedent!!
Premier League
Zinman 16pts 1CS 3CR 8GB 3BB 1SB
Minizin 14pts 1CS 5CR -1GB 3BB 0SB
Dingle 14pts 0CS 5CR 4GB 3BB 1SB
Derby 13pts 1CS 4CR -1GB 3BB 1SB
Stairs 11pts 0CS 5CR -1GB 3BB 1SB
Lady Jane 10pts 1CS 2CR 8GB -3BB 1SB
Blue Baggie 9pts 1CS 4CR -1GB -3BB 1SB
B.B.B. 5pts 1CS 2CR -1GB -3BB 1SB
Good solid start from the players in the Premier League with a total of 92 points scored and 6 players in double figures. Zinman off to a flyer at the top of the table courtesy of a maximum on the Gamball and positive scores on all his balls (he has obviously been practising playing with his balls over the summer!!
). Just behind him is Minizin and Dingle with 14 points, with our reigning Champion Derby a point behind them.
Stairs held true to what he said on the thread and played his Gamball, and then promptly got it wrong!! Lady Jane had a solid first ever week in the PL with 10 points including a spot on Gamball and Blue was just a point behind her. BBB started this season like he played all last season by missing on his balls, he needs to get that sorted if he wants to stay more than one season in the top flight!!
As in traditional football fashion, no table needs to be shown the first week, if only someone would tell Sky and the BBC that as well!!
Cheers
SCO
Championship
Twerton 15pts 1CS 6CR -1GB 3BB 1SB
Themaclad 11pts 1CS 4CR -1GB 3BB 1SB
SCO 9pts 1CS 5CR -1GB -3BB 1SB
Snooty 9pts 1CS 4CR 4GB 3BB 0SB
AAA 9pts 0CS 4CR 0GB 3BB SB
Baggie1 5pts 1CS 3CR -1GB -3BB 1SB
Sanjay - no submission
So unfortunately we have a rather truncated Championship this year. Amelia has withdrawn and Sanjay was a no-show (hopefully a one-off?) so we had just 6 participants.
A fairly steady opening week for all. Once again the gamball proved hard to predict (though I thought it was entirely predictable myself) with only one player, Snooty, correctly foreseeing Albion's inability to defend (or attack for that matter). Twerton heads the pack with 15 points from a week's high of 6 correct result predictions, one of them gaining a maximum. Themaclad also reached double figures helped by a positive bonus ball. 3 players are stuck together on 9 points, all getting there by different routes though AAA was helped by being the only player not to play the gamball - a good decision in his case.
At the foot of the table is BaggieOne scoring from just 3 games and missing on both his gamball and bonus.
Hopefully Sanjay will reappear this week, but if anyone else there wants to join, please do so, if only to reduce SCO's chances of promotion!
