Welcome back football lovers and Lily, the new season will begin on September 12th and I hear the fixture lists are out today. I will post our first matches up over the weekend.
I really hope everyone is up for another season, and the ones who said they'd opt out might reconsider.
I'm changing the points format slightly, I thought the league placings got a bit stagnant last time so this might create more of a mix-up each week: I propose 2 points for a Correct Result (CR) and 5 points for a Correct Score (CS). Anyone with a good week's results should see a move up the table while anyone failing horribly will plummet. And there will still be the bonus card to play earning triple points, plus the usual twice a season double points weeks.
Well the Premier League fixtures are up, but Man City and Villa are not playing (Man City need more time to recover from their Champions League shambles apparently), while West Ham play Newcastle in a Yak derby. The lower leagues' fixtures are not out yet, so can't say when Cardiff or Accrington play.
There's still a few weeks, but if the lower leagues don't start till a later date, I might just put up the full Premier League list for week one, we shall see.
I'm doomed, doomed I tell you. I seem to be able to get correct results with reasonable regularity but correct scores are few and far between. I'll just take up residence at the bottom of the pile and get comfy for the duration.
