James Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 This isn't a pre-match thread, more of a mini-fantasy football competition. The objective is to accurately name the Starting XI plus 7 subs for both Newcastle United and Manchester United next summer, plus the formation, final score, plus the first goalscorer. Deadline is 23:59 on 30th June. Any edited posts after that run the risk of you not being entered if I haven't got you on spreadsheet. I'm locking this thread until I've made the first few posts to explain the rules as well and as clearly as I can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Scoring: Positive Points: New signing: 20 points (but only if the signing becomes official after 1st July to avoid an obvious loophole) Player is correctly predicted as being in the starting XI: 5 points Player is also correctly predicted in the right position: 5 points Player is correctly predicted as being on the bench: 5 points Player was predicted to be in Starting XI, but was a used substitute: 3 points Player was predicted to be in Starting XI, but was an unused substitute: 3 points Correct formation: 5 points Correct result (Win, loss, or draw): 5 points Correct number of goals: 5 points Correct number of Manyoo goals: 5 points Correct number of NUFC goals: 5 points Completely correct scoreline: 5 points Correct first goalscorer: 15 points Predicted first goalscorer doesn't score first, but does score: 5 points (NB predicting no goalscorer will score points if there is an own goal) Negative points: Incorrectly guessed new signing: -2 points Player isn't in the 18 man squad: - 1 point Player has been sold: - 5 points Incorrect formation: - 5 points Incorrect result (win, loss, draw): -5 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Points are accumulative, so say you select Arda Turan at left wing for NUFC, and this prediction is correct, you score 20 + 5 + 5 = 30 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I merely stated that 2 new signings will be fit for the Man Utd game! I'm just keeping a track for no particular reason; considering the negativity, an average of four is quite high. James is skewing it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
