I owe the readers of this an apology. Last week I commented that approaching the end of the season, it seemed like the Premiership predictors had finally worked it out. I was wrong. A grand total of 12 points between the lot of you means that the season finale wasn't exactly a display of fireworks, though it wasn't the worst week as the score was 1 point higher than in week 11.

BBB tops the week's table but desperately in need of a good week to escape the relegation play off position, I suspect 6 points won't be enough. He can at least celebrate  being the only player to score on the gamball though he didn't get much else. Snooty and Minizin share 2nd place with a massive 2 points, both of them scoring from 4 matches - more than anyone else - but both also losing out on all their balls.

SCO and Derby clawed their way into positive territory thanks to getting the only 2 scoreballs and all other players registered a big fat zero. Nothing like ending the season on a high!

Derby 342 Champion
Sanjay 333
SCO 310
Minizin 306
Silver 300
Snooty 290
BBB 285 Play-offs
BaggieOne 253 Relegated
AAA 79 Relegated


Hardly a surprise given the low scores, but there were no positional changes this week meaning that long time leader Derby is the new 2021/22 Prediction League Champion, holding off a late challenge from Sanjay in 2nd place. BaggieOne will return to the Championship after a brief stay with the big boys while BBB will head into the promotion/relegation play-off.

Minor prizes to SCO being the top gamball scorer, Silver for the best bonus ball score with Snooty and Derby sharing the scoreball top spot. The overall champion baller is Derby, 12 points ahead of SCO. Interesting to note that Sanjay was let down by his balls scoring 56 less points than Derby.

Now on to the Championship and cup semi-finals where I suspect the final week was more interesting (thank you, Everton!)

Zin

Championship

Salop 12pts 2CS 1CR NPGB 6BB 0SB
Amelia 10pts 2CS 2CR NPGB -3BB 1SB
Blue Baggie 6pts 1CS 2CR NPGB -3BB 1SB
Themaclad 5pts 1CS 1CR -3GB 3BB 1SB
Stairs 4pts 0CS 3CR NPGB -3BB 1SB
Dingle 3pts 1CS 2CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Twerton 1pts 0CS 3CR -3GB -3BB 1SB
Lady Jane 0pts 0CS 3CR -3GB -3BB 0SB
Zinman -1pts 0CS 1CR NPGB -3BB 0SB

Well the Championship wasn't as bad as the Prem but it wasn't much better either!!  Nobody scored positive points by playing the Gamball and all bar two players got the Bonus wrong as well.  Top of the pile this week is Salop who needed a good week to try to make the playoffs, will his 12 points be enough?  Amelia continued her decent recent form with 10 points, could she escape winning the wooden spoon?  Blue is in third with just 6 points, but the fact that I haven't mentioned Stairs yet will tell you where this will put him in the final table.

Themaclad finished on 5 points, followed by Stairs with 4 points and Dingle with 3 points.  Nothing much to say about these scores with Themaclad the only one to get a CR on the Bonus but all three of them getting the scoreball.

Twerton finished with 1 point, his form has escaped him in the closing weeks.  Lady Jane has had no form for a while and this week she definitely had the flip flops on and scored a zero!  The most interesting score is Zinmans last placed -1, way behind his main rival Salop's score, has he scuppered his playoffs with this abysmal return or did his resting of players for the playoffs work?

332 - Blue Baggie - Champion
325 - Stairs - Promoted
293 - Zinman - Play-Off
288 - Salop
268 - Themaclad
265 - Dingle
242 - Amelia
238 - Twerton
230 - Lady Jane


Blue Baggie takes the Championship title!!!  Stairs was close but will have to settle for the 2nd auto spot.  Zinman very nearly blew it all in the final week but in the end he goes into the PO against BBB by finishing 5 points ahead of Salop.  Themaclad and Dingle have been on the beach for a few weeks I think!!  Amelia climbed out of the bottom two for the first week in absolutely ages as she overtakes the sinking Twerton and rock bottom Lady Jane!!

Just a few highlights on season totals.  Top points scorer on the Gamball is Salop, he only played it 4 times but scored on it plenty of times when not playing it, ironically had he played it every week he would have gained a further 24 points and a place in the POs!!  By contrast Lady Jane ended up on -45 on the Gamball, an 85 point swing between her and Salop!!  The Bonus was a disaster most of the year with only 3 points in total being scored!!  Amelia topped the charts on this with 21 points.  Themaclad scored the most on the Scoreball with 23 points.  Top total ball playing player was Salop courtesy ironically on not playing the Gamball, followed by Stairs who had the same tactic and then Zinman in 3rd.

Cheers
SCO

So the PO final will be between BBB and Zinman, check out the Cup thread to see who made the Cup Final.

Many thanks guys for all your hard work over the season. With the performances of Albion this has the only football related thing I’ve looked forward to over the weekends! It’s great to win against such a distinguished bunch however I didn’t think it was going to happen what with my own struggle to score points over the last few weeks, and Sanjay’s remarkable run of predictions closing the gap.
Thanks once again, the win will no doubt be a one off wonder and normal service will be resumed next season.

Thank you all for your kind comments and special thanks to SCO for doing most of the work on what for him is a rival’s website. If anyone is reading this who doesn’t take part, please consider joining next year as we could do with a few additional players to ensure I can get promoted whatever happens in the play offs!

All those who took/take part - the secret of the flipping of coins to predict results are as follows.
1. Select a coin
2. Select a game
3. Predict number of goals ( let's say 3 )
4. Decide which team is heads / tails.
5. Flip coin 3 times (in line with your predicted goals)
6. Establish result
7. Any poor overall results - simply change the coin.

A very big thanks to you two guys for organising this throughout the season. Must have been a bit of a problem when work pressures were on top of you. Much appreciated.

Summarising my season. Season started with a bang in top two for a long time but fell away to mid table obscurity. Remind you of anyone?

Many thanks for bringing a lot of pleasure to us downhearted Baggies over what's been an awful season. It's always a lot of fun and your input to make this work is very much appreciated. Well done!
(Need to get my dud pin sharpened up after last week's disastrous results). Thanks again.
