Wrong thread. You're both looking for this one: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/las...ompetitors-down-to-149-entries-closed.474558/

Too late though as GW19 predictions closed on Monday so you'll both be getting autopicks.

Thanks for playing you three. You'll each get taglines and awards noting that you're LMS finalists. No winner this time around.

Ah sorry, thanks. I'll head there hoping it wasn't liverpool that were my pick. Why do you have to close the game weeks before last game? (No critic just curious) Fun game this!

Thanks for all the effort Damien, cheers.

Should have picked Tottenham, thought they would bottle it, instead I did… Well, thanks everyone for playing and thank you Damien for all the work to make this possible, it’s very fun!

There are a few reasons. Probably nothing major but collectively they make sense:

1. I put a notice at the top of the site reminding people to submit predictions with a deadline of before the first match kicks off. Not having a deadline would mean the notice would be up all season long than a few days a week.
2. Stops people from hedging their bets like having five teams in mind to be picks and waiting until lineups are out for each match before choosing whether to go with that or wait.
3. Helps sift out those who aren't really interested in the competition long term. If people could submit picks before the last game kicked off, there'd be a few who would constantly just post last minute which is unfair to those who've been actively keeping up with things.
4. I like to post the list of predictions when the first match of the gameweek kicks off and helps engagement as people comment on how their pick is doing. If the deadline was the last game then it'd basically just be posting the list at the end and there wouldn't be as much excitement. I have been busier this season so I've not been posting the predictions at the start as much as I used to but I'll be doing that again at some point.
5. Linked to point 2 but a lot more work would be created by people changing their predictions if the lineups weren't favourable. Some do change their picks once they've made it currently but it is usually only a handful of people at most.

I was a bit surprised none of you changed picks, particularly you. I suppose the pickings were slim though.

jadajos

• Chelsea (still to play)
• Southampton (lost at home to Forest)
• Tottenham (won away at Crystal Palace)

Jeffchin

• Aston Villa (drew at home to Wolves)
• Leicester (lost at home to Fulham)
• Southampton (lost at home to Forest)

VinchNow

• Brighton (won away at Everton)
• Leeds Utd (drew at home to West Ham)
• Southampton (lost at home to Forest)

VinchNow's were the toughest of the lot but think in yours and Jeff's shoes I'd have gone for Spurs and Villa respectively.

 

[VinchNow]

@Damien Thanks a lot for the work. It was fun while it lasted.
I thought that a home game against Nottingham was the "safest" to pick Southampton.

 

[jadajos]

To be honest, I just went with the betting odds between the three teams, for the first time in the game actually. And of course it went wrong immediately.
