Definitely fancy keeping this up over several seasons to see if this is a particularly unpredictable Championship year. Obviously the table could change a lot still, it's early days.

Feels like there's more teams than normal at the opposite end to where you'd expect.

Update at ~23 games on the way. Bumping this to make it easier to find when I'm finished doing it.

The table seems to be looking more like what people were expecting, some big points improvements on show so far.

Teaser - SCIAG's random selection (except Reading in 1st) may have been clear best at 10 games... it has not stood the test of time though. :lol:

Also, royal_jimmy is likely to get the nod for biggest improvement, having been last and second last with his two predictions previously.

There are a couple of entries I missed in competitions because everyone was using this one. Will add them at some point in the week.

Apologies.

YR your's and Pepe's look like they were on what ever discussion thread inspired the idea and I made a note when I set it up, rather than posted on either of the threads I started. No idea what or where that was now.

Me either when I was looking for it the other day - least you've got it to hand though and kept hold of it.

Bump for Snowflake to give us final scores next week.

Tbf - I had Reading to finish 19th, and we probably would do without points deduction.

Cheers Ian! I think league one will be far easier to predict the table than the championship this season

Do people want to wait for potential play off winner points or scrap that bit and just get it done?

Ignoring POs, I'm at around a third of the way through scoring the competitors and the best score so far is currently -32 ( 8) ), with the worst -108.

Swap Burnley and Wigan and that's probably not a half bad prediction to be fair.

I accept no responsibility for incorrect calculations. Or incorrectly copied down predictions.

Happy to do this again next season. I'd probably be a bit more generous on the scoring... +1 for 2-3 places out, +0 for 4-5 places out, +1 for predicting a PO team. Maybe.

Also, all Seth does is play Football Manager 24/7 so he was bound to come second.
