Get your picks in!
Hi all! I'm hosting a friendly English Premier League prediction competition. All you have to do is submit your prediction for how the Premier League table will look like at season's end. The winner at season's end will win a Premier League jersey of their choice, on me (even if that means I have to buy a Manchester United jersey - yuck). Everyone is welcome to join and I will mail the jersey to you if I have to!
Just fill out your rankings from 1-20 in the comments below. Scoring will work by creating a sum from how far away each team finished from your predicted spot to their final spot (for example if you predicted Chelsea finishes 5th but they actually finish 1st, like they will, that would be 4 points). Add up your total for all 20 teams and the person with the least amount of points wins!
In the unlikely event of a tie, I would recommend leaving the EPL's leading goal scorer as well how many goals the leading scorer will get (eg. Zlatan - 22). Tiebreak for that will be first for guessing the leading goal scorer and then from distance of most goals scored (the leading goal-scorers tally that is, not your predicted player).
If you're feeling lazy, run the scripts at the links below and copy the paste the output to the comments below, it's that easy! Also, please don't judge me on these scripts. I wrote them in like 20 minutes and they are not meant to be accurate.
Based on historical table movements from year to year (aka - not as random but still pretty terrible!). Especially since Chelsea did not finish so hot in the table last year...
