(PLP 26/27) Premier League Prediction Game 2026/27
Welcome to the new season for the Premier League Predictions Game 2026/27!

No need for those interested to say yes or let me know, just follow the Rules below, and go and throw your boot on the pitch, or the 'hat in the ring' for those purists of old.


Fixtures for each GameWeek (GW) will be posted ideally 48hrs minimum prior to kick off. Should they not be posted in your availability of being online, feel free to post your predictions in this thread. If you are also going to be unavailable, feel free to post as many weeks ahead as you feel needed. I will extract the GW fixtures from your predictions as required.

Predictions MUST be made prior to the KO of the first game of that GW. Games started, will not be counted for your predictions.

SCORING :
========
3pts for EACH Correct Score of each fixture.

1pt for the Correct Result of each fixture (ie if Actual Result is 2-2 and you predicted 1-1, you score 1pt).

Each GW, you can select ONE of the TWO options ; Banker or Bonus;

-BANKER = Choose one fixture for that GW you feel is your most probable prediction, get it right and you will DOUBLE that scoring result ie Correct Result = 2pts (1pt x 2), and Correct Score = 6pts (3pts x 2)

-BONUS = If selected, and you score ANY Points from ALL fixtures in that GW, you will DOUBLE your weekly score.

The League of Players will reflect the Winner for that GW and the Overall League Points once combined in the totals for the season scoring.

THE AIM? > to have the most Points at the end of the season!
======
Secondary Aim > to have the most Correct Score Predictions! (This will reflect the original scoring system used before 2026/27)

Very brave on going early doors...

Can I ask for you to choose Banker or Bonus and indicate whatever fixture please.

Think it best if we put [B] either end of the fixture(s) decided.
For example ;

[B]Arsenal vs Coventry[B]

or

[B]All fixtures[B]

Thanks! All done.

BANKER = Choose one fixture for that GW you feel is your most probable prediction, get it right and you will DOUBLE that scoring result ie Correct Result = 2pts (1pt x 2), and Correct Score = 6pts (3pts x 2)

-BONUS = If selected, and you score ANY Points from ALL fixtures in that GW, you will DOUBLE your weekly score.

So one of these, can be selected each week?

Is it not more beneficial to do bonus every week then?

Just need this settled in my head.
Thanks for running this again

The likelyhood is yes... but the gain is likely small (ie 1pt doubled).
However, when GW's have reduced fixtures, it makes it interesting as well as GW's where you think you know the results..

It's a thinker

Playing BONUS, if you get one or more match results wrong, then you get no points that way.

I thought he meant BANKER.... hence my reply lol.

Nearly first week of premier league
