Reading v Blackpool (FA Cup) - - - - Match 29 2019-2020 Prediction League

[Snowball]

PS (to all)

I stated at the start of running the prediction league that, for purposes of “which predictions are extreme” I would ignore predictions that seemed silly and or “having a laugh”

This doesn’t stop outlier predictions but it means that more realistic outliers can be hit with -3 or a bonus.

If we allowed, for example

Reading 10-0 Blackpool then if RFC failed to win all win predictions are off the hook

A gutsy prediction of
RFC 0-2 Blackpool
Would just be “middling” and would neither get penalties or bonuses

Please note, as things stand, the 1-1 draw is "extreme" and the 0-4 is doubly-so (ignored for
measuring the true predictions. If a narrower Blackpool win is predicted then the 1-1 is no
longer marked as most extreme.

The Team Today


We could get any kind of starting 11 today
so for this match only...

If your first-goal player is not starting, you can
choose an alternative player without losing points.

If the team is so butchered you think your prediction
is way off you may change it, but you lose 3 points
of the 6 bonus points
