Football Prediction League

Postby The Professor » Mon Jul 31, 2023 12:06 pm

Wonder if there's an appetite for this on here.

Every week before 7PM on the Friday, you pick three teams you think will win over the weekend.

Rules

Each team has to be from a different league

You cannot pick any teams that are currently in the Top 6 of the league.

Let me know if you fancy and we will start this weekend.

If not I will quietly shuffle away.

5 points for one right, 10 for two right, 20 for all three



Slightly updated rules plus points added in bold
