The "Blackpool" Sweepstake Season 6: The Watford one

[murf]

Can't believe I forgot to start this and nobody reminded me!

Following on from the success of the
2010/11 inaugral Blackpool sweepstake (won by saintmark with 39) which I foolishly described as "the first and probably only ever annual Blackpool Premier League sweepstake" and then
2011/12 "the Norwich City one" (won by Jimmy Tarbuck with a whopping 47) and then
2012/13 "the Southampton one" (won by AKNel1 with 41) and finally
2013/14 "the Crystal Palace one" (won by DrBunker with a semi-whopping 45)
2014/15 "the Burnley one" (won by bspittles with an underwhelming 33)

I bring you the sequel's sequel's sequel's sequel's sequel:

The "Blackpool" Sweepstake - Season 6 - The Watford One

I'm going with Watford as Leicester have made a good start and Bournemouth were champions so that leaves the surely doomed (except for the now almost traditional nearly always non-cursing of being my pick in this comp) Watford.

Usual rules, just guess how many points Blackpool, sorry, I mean Norwich, sorry, I mean Southampton, sorry, I mean Palace, sorry, I mean Burnley, sorry, I mean Watford will get in the league this year. Just copy the last post on the thread, guess how many points they will get in the season, add your guess to the list and we'll see who wins. One entry each, no copying, no edits, closest wins.

Form guide: average winning score = 41

Entry restricted to the first 114 entrants or FOURTH kick off, whichever comes soonest

I'll wait til about 10 of you have picked to avoid accusations of cheating

PLEASE CHECK THE THREAD AFTER POSTING TO SEE THAT NOBODY HAS POSTED SINCE THE LIST YOU COPIED

Me and Mo bot must be favourites

[morganb]

Currently on 33 points

[murf]

Just need that 3 point fine for fielding an ineligible player and the title is mine....

[morganb]

MVL currently in pole position

Watford 37 points

[Moist von Lipwig]

MVL currently in pole position

Watford 37 points

all they need to do is get Pardew in as manager and I'll have this one in the bank.

[murf]

45. Well played Mo Bot.... for underestimating them by less than most of us!

[Bramernic]

I'm going with Watford as Leicester have made a good start and Bournemouth were champions so that leaves the surely doomed (except for the now almost traditional nearly always non-cursing of being my pick in this comp) Watford.

Can't believe I didn't see this in August.

Anyway, what did Leicester have to do with consideration of who to pick? They were in the EPL last season. If you'd chosen Norwich you'd actually have managed to curse them for a change.

[morganb]

Bump! Who is to be this season's Blackpool murf? (And who won last season?)

[murf]

Good bump. will sort later
