Fun Prediction Competition
(for commenters)

What is the Prediction Competition?- Predict different things like scores: wins, losses, draws, those who will score, man of the match, and possibly who will be the next player bought or sold.

How do I Earn Points?- All matches you can predict a win, loss, draw, score, and goalscorers. On special occasions I will allow competitors to choose man of the match, who gets a yellow/red card (if any), who will get subbed (from Chelsea), and even when a goal will be scored per 15 minute period (Example- Commenter A Says: A goal shall be scored in the minutes 0-15 or say 31-45). For these you will be allowed 2 choices of 15 minute periods, 2 choices for MOTM, 2 choices for yellow/red cards, and 3 choices for who will get substituted.

Prizes?: Prizes will be revealed along the way. All players are eligible for a prize. The first prize given out will be the 1st person to reach 50 Points.

How Many Points Per Guess?:

Predict a Win, Draw, Loss= 2 Points
Predict a Goalscorer= 3 Points
Predict an Exact Score= 8 Points
Predict a Cleansheet= 2 Points
*Predict a Correct Score For 1 Team: 3 Points
Predict a Yellow/Card Per Player Correct= 3 Points
Predict a MOTM= 4 Points
Predict a Goal Shall Come in 15 Minute Period= 3 Points
Predict who will get Substituted= 2 Points Per Player Correct

*- Example you predict a 3-0 result but the score is 3-2 you get 3 points.
**- Certain times I may double points for whichever match I choose

Competition Starts with Match Against Liverpool!!!

theres a thread on here that I sometimes look at

[14Atlas]

Goalkeepers for Squad are up!

[14Atlas]

Question to everyone:
Should I play on World Class or Legendary, here's some information about how Ive done on both

On Legendary I haven't won a game yet in a private MM with Chelsea
-came super close against Manchester United (1st ever Legendary game) where they beat me 1-0 with a lalalala Rooney goal, I dominated the whole game like 65% possession, they only had like 3/4 shots
-drawn game and lost but never won (Includes loss to tottenham, tie with man City, and loss to Fulham

On World Class
In private MM with Chelsea
-Beat Manchester United 4-0 although they had Foster in goal and keeper difficulty was on professional
-Have had quite some difficulty

So please tell me what you think
By the way halves are going to be 4 minutes long
