In week 8 after the international break next week the Prediction Cup will begin.

The top 5 & bottom 5 from both leagues will split into 4 groups of 5, and on week 8 your weekly scores will also start be points for the Cup group stages. The prediction league will be unchanged it’s just that your points for that week will also count for the Cup group.

The group stages will use points from week 8, week 12, week 16 and week 20 before the top 2 from each group will progress to the knockout stage.

The last 8 will then compete over 2 legs made up of your points from week 24 and week 28, which will give us a last 4 for 2 leg semis using your points from week 30 and week 32.

The Final will probably be the last set of fixtures for the season at a rough estimate week 36 or 37, if we all last that long , with hopefully title winners, relegation places, promotion and cup winners all decided on the last “Super Sunday”

Double winner? Promotion & Cup winner? Relegation & Cup winner? or an underdog from mid table who keeps their season going till the last day.

As I said before nothing will change on the normal league, the very same scores will be used in the cup, just the points for certain weeks will just give you a chance of a cup run

I'll post the schedule up later

Bomber this sounds great, the only slight change would be where your showing week 20 in both group stages and last 8, maybe last 8 using weeks 22 and 24 ....

Bomber, why is emptying your sack a gift to beefy ...... it sounds like one of those kinky parties from the 70's ..... I am too young but I heard about them

[St Charles Owl]

Love this, bit of added pressure for the weeks that count for both and something for all to play for through the season.
