Not looking to take these over again, however with Zeta having a young family want to give him a break from having to post these. Also allows many who won't be around Christmas and perhaps boxing day to get their predictions in.

 

Week 18 of the Premier League prediction league. Your prediction should be of the score, the first goal scorer and the minute of the first goal.

For example, if I am predicting Cold Palmer to resume normal service by opening the scoring in the 18th minute in a 3-1 victory, I would write Chelsea 3-Fulham, Palmer 18.

NOTE: If you do not include the team names in your prediction and instead just put the score, e.g. "1-2" I will assume Home - Away.

If you're predicting a 0-0, then the player name and minute should be of the first shot on target, rather than first goal.  If you predict a scoring game, but the result is 0-0, then the player name and minute will, again, be of the first shot on target. 

If you are predicting an own goal as the first scorer, you don't need a player name, but you do need to specify which team gets the goal. E.g. If Chelsea are playing Ipswich and you think the Tractor boys will score first with being gifted an own goal, it would be something like: Ipswich 2-1 Chelsea, Own Goal (Ipswich), 35. So the own goal team is the team that gets the goal, not the team that puts the ball into their own net.

Deadline is 5 minutes before kick-off.
Maximum of 1 change per person.

------------------
Correct Result (W, D, L): 1 point
Correct Score: 5 points
Correct First Scorer: 5 points
Correct First Scorer and Minute: 15 points
Correct Everything: 30 points
