La Liga Predictions League 2011/12

This game is open for anyone on Ja606 to play and is a continuation of the game played on the BBC sport 606 La Liga thread for a few years..

This season I have added a few new things to the game in an attempt to keep interest all season long, and enable people to have a chance of winning right to the end...

The Rules.....

Each week I shall edit the article text to show the La Liga fixtures
Copy and paste the fixtures and next to them put your predicted result ("H" for home win, "D" for draw and "A" for away win). One match per week will be nominated as a bonus game.

The scoring will be as follows:
Correctly predicted home win: 3 points
Correctly predicted away win: 4 point
Correctly predicted draw: 5 points
Correct bonus game score: 10 points

(note: if you fail to post scores for the week, you be be awarded the lowest score posted minus 2)

Predictions must be sent before the 1st match of the week starts.

Also this season, I'd like you to predict the following (these predos need to be posted by you on this thread by Sept 15th ):

1. the top 4 teams at the end of the season.

2. the 3 teams that will qualify for the europa league in 2012/13..Positions 5,6 and the Copa del Rey winners

3. the bottom 3 teams at the end of the season

4. the 3 promoted clubs from the segunda at the end of the season

5. the "Pichichi" (excluding R Madrid and Barca). The top scorer in the league at the end of the season (excluding R Madrid and Barca)

6. the "Zamora"(excluding R Madrid and Barca) The top ranked goalkeeper at the end of the season (excluding R Madrid and Barca)

7. The champions league winner

8. The Europa League winners and finalist. Nominate 2 teams

The scoring for this will be as follows:

1. Top 4 in correct order: 40 points.
Top 4 all named but not in correct order: 20 points.
Any team predicted that makes it into the top 4: 5 points

2. Europa League places all predicted correctly: 40 points
Any team predicted that makes it into the Europa League: 5 points

3.All 3 relegated teams correctly predicted: 40 points
Any team predicted that gets relegated : 5 points

4. All 3 promoted teams correctly predicted: 40 points
Any team predicted that gets promoted: 5 points

5. Pichichi winner (excluding R Madrid and Barca) correctly predicted: 30 points

6. Zamora winner (excluding R Madrid and Barca) correctly predicted: 30 points

7. Champions league winner accurately predicted : 30 points

8.
a.Europa League winner accurately predicted: 50 points (this is such a random competition that anyone who guesses the winner deserves the 50 points !! ).
b.Europa league finalist accurately predicted: 30 points.
c. And if you predict the winner and runner-up 80 points !!! (although I think you'll have more chance of winning the lottery than guessing that correctly ! )

Note: If you predict a player to be the "pichichi" or "zamora", and that player joins another club outside La Liga before the season starts, you will be allowed to change your selection.

I think you should have the regular weekly predictions and the season predictions as separate competitions. Not that i'm bitter about being thrashed by IOAG.

It could be the equivalent of the league and Champions League

Any other changes that make it more likely that i win will be good. Perhaps disqualify any one who finishes above me?

Im very happy to have won the La lIga Prediction League 2011/12.

Have to say to Peks what a fantastic job you have done.

Im not sure i will play next season.
Well done to everyone who took part.

coolinter

It wasn't really a competition as you led pretty much from start to finish.

UEFA will be disappointed if you choose not to compete next season.

You must! We've never had a defending Predo League champion before.

I will win next season!

However this will be made difficult by the fact that I wish to leave myself as I'm just not ambitious enough for my liking

posted on 20/7/12

pekster could just proclaim himself next season's winner by default, with me as runner-up. How's that for ambition?

posted on 26/7/12

i will prevail by fair means or foul

posted on 7/8/12

Forgot to thank Peks for the great effort he's put in, muchas gracias hombre (Yaay, I'm now a Sevilliano).

I'm going to win next season, I've got the money.
