Just noticed we have a new leader after many months of domination by mowatson. Step forward...ride em ragged.

Well he might step forward, but as he's never actually posted anything other than doing his predictions we might have a bit of a wait.

I hope to be proved wrong, because I'm not sure how it's helping the Forum if non-posters lead the competitions. Good effort though !

maybe he's mute

He doesn't post? Disqualify him

I've been gradually catchin up, but not sure there's enough time left this season

I post but I'm rubbish at predicting. Can I still have a prize?

You may want to check out Murf's Belt of Premiership Predictions thread, Spiny. You will see that you were no slouch last week

Wake up mowatson! I fear it's all got too much for our hero...

I'm sure my prediction was in there this morning. That's the second time that's happened to me in midweek games

What happened to mowatson?

I am the Arsenal of the predicting world. cough, splutter, choke.

Well done to the winner. (and the real winner - Ferg)

Some kind of minimum posts rule for next year? I know I'm not prolific but I post at least once per month.

Thanks for caring Surprised

Congratulations ride em ragged, step forward to claim your prize

To be fair if someone has registered just to play the game I don't see a problem if they haven't posted about that game, I haven't contributed to the communities around any other off site games.

Posts = 0

It's not just keeping quiet in the Goals Forum.

This was always the feared scenario for established posters/players of the pediction game on Fiso. murf/thelip used to run one than was fun, where there was a fair amount of banter and competition, but this new one has none of that at all.

The the past two years 'real' posters have won so it made little difference, but to have a complete non-poster win is rather like your team winning the tournament on the toss of a coin. Nice, but I'd rather 'know' the winner.

Goals is a nice interface that usually works ok, and it may have gained a few new posters, it's just not as good as what Fiso used to have. IMO.

Too right.

And I would have won it this year as well if all the matches had finished 1-0 (like last year)

I think all of the games where banter requires you to reveal something about your strategy have less of a presence on fiso.

I don't really care that the winner hasn't added their opinion elsewhere but if thats necessary next year then fair enough.

Congrats to the winner but it's a shame that three out of the top four haven't posted even once. Come on fellas, speak up Bad luck Mo and unlucky Ferg, but second ain't bad.

On a postive note I notice that I finished considerably higher than Murf

I don't post much in the footy foums simply because I'm not that knowledgeable and there are more folk on here that are or at least claim to be more knowledgeable. I wouldn't want anyone to ruin their team by following my misguided advice.

However, for most of the FISO minileagues on FPL or Sky or anywhere else it is deemed necessary to at least announce your presence to be allowed admission to the minileague. I think that it is perfectly acceptable for a forum website like FISO to expect contributers to contribute especially for a FISO run comp.

But I did win it once in the good old days

The good old days when we ran it as a fun comp by FISO posters for FISO posters.

It is now run by the FISO website for, errr, to attract hits????
