theo29's TFF £25 rest of the season FISO goalcast

[Darbyand]

just to add a little spice for the 'mini summer romp' I will put up £25 for a FISO Goal Forecast. How many will be scored in total inc the FA Cup ?
Put your forecast on here before the first matches.

The 99 Game Season. My £25 prize offer on here (4th June) has so far not stirred the collective FISO interest. Just 9 days to go so it will probably need a BUMP or two to wake everyone up again. How many goals will be scored in total, 99 League and 7 FA Cup games. Who will break the ice ?

Quick response for Samd .( I hope he enters after hearing it) All goals count in FA Cup games, whenever scored. If the whole thing is abandoned the number of goals scored to that point will win. Might be worh having a punt around 160 or thereabouts.
Come on guys, lets have a decent entry.

with less than 24 hours to kick-off Darbyand's initiative recruits a mere 10 players. Is there some sinister reason for almost total lack of interest in the FISO ranks or is it the 3 month break and deep slumber which is to blame ? The scores will appear on here after every match day.

There are still 99 matches

Excuse my OCD

What is the decider et ie next highest or closest? I'm on over 300, btw

[Jamjack]

Excuse my OCD

Sorry, my fault. I did notice afterwards and it offended my OCD too. I’m astonished I resisted changing it.

[blahblah]

Being serious I think most here have some mental issues

I'll enter tomorrow if I know the higher\lower thing but I'm well above these guesses

[gourami]

I’ll have a dabble at your Goalcast competition Theo... 314

Eeerily quiet in TFF land. It's like the first day of the season Eve all over again in FPL world.

I suppose they have plenty to do in the FPL ghetto, playing with their free transfers, chocolate chips and double game crossover thingamibobs.

Here in TFF land we just stare at our teams blankly wondering what will go wrong.....

[Darbyand]

I suppose you can mess around with the rules a bit more if the main prize is match tickets/hospitality etc rather than cash. Any well placed TFF tortoises would be pissed off if they'd given a "wildcard" or boosted the transfers for everyone. But it's made this a bit of a damp squib.

Anyway, here's some stats about goals per game:

[murf]

Went up a bit last year with a record of 2.82. This season, so far, has been 2.72. Premier league average since football began (according to modern, Sky based 'history') of 2.65.

thanks gourami, 314 sets the bar high. blah your forecast awaited. If the result is non exact, the next highest wins.
Still time to enter before Sheffield U set off for Villa Park !

[blahblah]

Thanks re clarifying next highest, not nearest wins.....

[murf]

I went to tidy them into order and found blah had beaten me to it At least I could add gourami's 100*pi

It is definiely a Wait and See in TFFland as there as so many Unknowns....

Still time to enter before Sheffield U set off for Villa Park !

Be reasonable Theo, that game isn’t going to make a huge difference to the goal count 1 - 0 Sheff on my coupon.

Well reminded. Had totally forgotten about picking for Superbru and FISO Goals.

[theo29]

meanwhile we still await the blah entry. It certainly is not on this list, possibly in another comp. He is prone to getting things a little mixed now and again. 93 thousand posts must have some effect over the years.

I’m such a pessimist.

I'm such a median

[Jamjack]

Come on Blah...

[blahblah]

I've got this one in the bag

[Jamjack]

Nil return from game one. That’s one in the eye for you crazy goal junkies. I suspect the next game could be very different.

Blah, you need to trend at just over 4 goals per game. 5 - 4 city to get you back on track?

[theo29]
