Prediction league 22/23 round 1 - 30 July

[DangerousSausage]

Aaand the PON prediction league is back once again! This is how it works:

At least two days before every matchday I will post a thread with eight matches to predict, two each from the Championship, League One, League Two and (from 6 August) the Conference. You then reply with your predicted scores. The cut-off time for posting is kick-off. At the end of it all I'll then post a table with the current standings.

Scoring system: 3 points for a correct score and 1 for a correct result. So if you predict Hartlepool to beat Walsall 2-1 and they do, you get 3 points; if Hartlepool win 1-0, you get 1 point. Each round you can also choose one match as your joker - any points you win for that match are then doubled.

We have a dedicated (and very competitive!) hardcore, but newcomers are also very, very welcome! Maybe you could be this season's surprise package? Simply reply to this post with your predictions by 3pm this coming Saturday and nominate one match as your joker - good luck!

 

Luton Town v Birmingham City

Plymouth Argyle v Barnsley

Sheffield Wednesday v Portsmouth

i spoke to chris, he said facebook keeps changing things on their side. he said that he will try to fix it but if its the app, there are no workarounds because its not supported for webview by them anymore only full browsers/or coded apps.

Thanks to everyone who has taken part so far!

Who else fancies a go? Come on. Rumour has it our defending champion @Dripsey3 has commissioned himself a "champion's belt" in the style of a WBC belt and has spent the summer parading around in it. And a little birdie tells me that @ARLukomski has called in a team of German engineers to build a secret predictions superlab under his home with the aim of devising the ultimate prediction league algorithm. As for me, I may or may not be devising the kind of results fiddling techniques that would make an Eastern European autocrat blush. Have a go yourself and bring us all down a peg or two. Noobs are very welcome, the more the merrier!

So that's it. Please feel free to add banter, commiserations, gushing praise for me or none of the aforementioned below. Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled for the next batch of fixtures on Wednesday (or thereabouts) ahead of the next round on Saturday. Thanks for playing, see you then!

[magpiejue]

Not a bad start for me then. COYP

Interesting start, I'll try to seek a few more to take part in this fun.

Many thanks to @DangerousSausage and @liampie (for encouraging fans outside of PON).
