Ladies and gentlemen, we are back! A new prediction league season is upon us. It is a time of boundless optimism, we all start from 0 points and there are no points deductions (this isn't the Premier League after all). This is how it works:

At least two days before every matchday I will post a thread with eight matches to predict from the Championship, League One, League Two and the Conference. You then reply with your predicted scores. The cut-off time for posting is kick-off (in this case 3pm). 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 Swindon to beat Walsall 2-1 and they do, you get 3 points; if Swindon 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.

Why not have a go? EVERYONE is welcome to take part - the more the merrier! Just post your predictions underneath, and remember to assign a joker. And if you have any difficulty, just drop me a line. Good luck!

So these are the scores for the first round. Congratulations to our first leader @william1984, and honourable mentions also go to @liampie, @Megan_Elizax and @thommo.

A small word of warning here - I'm using a new spreadsheet this season, but I checked some of the scores manually and everything seems to be correct.

We're off to a great start, thank you all for taking part! The next round will cover Saturday's games, so I'll post the fixtures on Wednesday. See you all then!

 

Not a bad opening round. I will take that and wish everyone else all the best with the second round coming up. It’s all to play for!

That will probably be the best I do all season

The start is a good number to begin with. I will have to dig deep to make up the ground, and I hope to achieve some reasonable results once I can join in with this.

You never know @Megan_Elizax. But take a picture of the table just to be safe

@CliftonMagpie you'd better hurry up and join in, there are only 1215 points left to play for

It’s a good thing I don’t need to rush, except for making sure I post promptly for the next round. Otherwise, I might not make it in time. ????

Bloody hell I forgot

Oh dear I'm on the bottom. Oh well, the only way is up.

After last season numerous ZERO points am more than happy with my return ????????
