How about we just change it to the system that sees me avoid relegation?

Don't worry about relegation, the Premier League will look after you in the form of parachute payments!! Current agreement shows that next years parachute payments for relegated teams will be a brown paper bag for you to breath into when you get an anxiety attack and a stick of used Juicy Fruit so you can constantly chew while you stand on the touchlines and look like Sir Alex!!!

And be replaced by better EQUIPPED players

The Gamball has certainly done me no favours, could it be used in a different way. Scoring it the same as other games but if correct result it doubles the total scored in the other 9 games and if correct score it trebles them. 

That way it does reward how well somebody has predicted the other games, not sure how it would work if scores were in minus after the other 9 games but I suppose that isn't worthy of reward anyway   .

Either way it wouldn't make much difference to me, having only managed 2 CR all season I think

Nice idea Matt, you may have something there

Nice idea Matt, you may have something there  

What if as happens now and had Matt has stated do we work it if your overall score is in the minus
Could we say if that happens award the points instead but as SCO put it cut down the amount the Gamball is worth if it happens to be your in the minus score ? Eg 6 for a correct result and 12 for correct score in this scenario?

Yeah that was the main problem but the thought was if the Gamball was to reward overall predicting then a minus score wouldn't have many correct predictions amongst it. 
It would only really be a reward to those who got at least 3 right predictions and more of a reward to anyone who got say 5 or 6 right.
Even 6 points CR and 12 points CS would take 3 or 6 of the other matches right to get that number of points

Is everybody following

Oh hang on if you get the Gamball ball right but are in the minus score, it's marked as if it was the bonus ball, ?
That only giving plus four for a correct result and the most you could get for the correct score would be 8,
That's a massive 8 off a correct score and 4 of the correct result,(as it stands now)
So lets face it if you had a bad week at -4 the best you could score would just be +4 .....
Or even Bomber could open his wallet for once and buy everyone a drink next time we meet up

just a quick question
is this prediction league going to be up next season?

I suspect that depends on whether Beefy gets promotion

Ha ha
Hope so guys a lot depends on people who want to participate, that's why we are having the discussion about changing the gamball next season
So people like zinman who is just so lucky with his balls will be mid table at best : oh
