The entries (eleven of them) are in, and although I’ll post the ongoing results on the 3rd of each month I thought I’d post the current leaders after just 2/3 games and silly things (like Man City topping the table) are happening.

I’ve altered the scoring system slightly in that now I’m using a simple correlation equation in Excel rather than doing it all manually - that way I’m more likely to get the results out when I say I will. It won’t effect the winner, just my ability to get the scores out on time.

As it’s a correlation 1 is the perfect score and -1 is the worst. To make it less ungainly I’m then multiplying each score by 1000 so if you predict the table 100% correctly your score will be 1000, and the further from perfect you are the nearer to -1000 (the lowest possible) your score will be.

So, here we go…

1. Rob 469
2. Alex 454
3. Murph 414
4. Gay 403
5. Helen 397
6. Kymee 359
7. Karl 313
8. Alfie 304
9. Kyle 293
10. Steve 244
11. Colin -47

Early days yet of course, and so still much to play for.

On the request of Rob (who might change his mind looking at his current position) I have created a January Transfer Window rule. As follows : Players can swap the positions of two teams once during the month of January. The swap can take place on any day in January but once made can not be undone or added to.

And that’s it until the evening of the 3rd September when I’ll update the scores/positions.

** Cambridge United are top of the Blue Square Premier. Irrelevant to this post, but I had to mention it!
