*NEW * The "Blackpool" Sweepstake Season 11: The Dirty Leeds one * NEW *

[murf]

Here we go again - the competition you have been waiting for since realising your Sheffield United entry from last year was way to low and your season was as over as Norwich's.

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)
2015/16 "the Watford one" (won by Mo Bot with the highest entry of 43)
2016/17 "the Hull one" (won by thebillfella with a low 34)
2017/18 "the Huddersfield one" (won by bspittles, our first ever double winner with a modest, relegation avoiding 37)
2018/19 "the Cardiff City one" (won by Robot, three years after his sister Mo won, with a fairly dodgy 34)
2019/20 "the Sheffield United one" (won by nffc, with the highest pick of 48 (they got 54)

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

The "Blackpool" Sweepstake - Season 11 - The Dirty Leeds One

Three contenders this year, all fairly big clubs that have never featured before. In a slight chance from usual I went for the league winners who probably have the best prospects. The jinxing and reverse jinxing of teams in the sweepstake still seems to be all over the place still so no point trying any logic there.

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, sorry, I mean Hull, sorry, I mean Huddersfield, sorry, I mean Cardiff City, sorry, I mean Sheffield United, sorry, I mean Dirty Leeds (United) 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 = 39-40ish

Entry restricted to the first 114 entrants or Leeds United's kick off, whichever comes soonest

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

So this is how we ended up. With 3 games gone and 6pts on the board (resultant prediction = 76 POINTS) it looks like Shaggy365 is cruising to victory....

[murf]

12 games gone, 14 points on the board which extrapolates to 44-ish

So 1 point per game with the 2 extra to just avoid relegation already locked in. 38 games, call it 40 points

[murf]

12 games gone, 14 points on the board which extrapolates to 44-ish

17 from 14 now extrapolates to 46, call it 40 as they will tire.....

[morganb]

17 played, 23 points -> on target for 51 points

[murf]

They need to start slowing down...
