Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

Any idea's on points systems guys? I was thinking of adding a selection of players to choose from, where you pick one. If it is a defender and he scores, you get 3 points for each goal he scores. If it is a midfielder it would be two points for each goal scored and 1 point for a striker. What do you all think about introducing this to the game? The points system is still in delevopment at the minute so any idea's would be more than appreciated.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

My proposals for the points system are as folows:-

General Predictions (90 minutes only,Extra time does not count)
1 Point for Home win.
1 Point for Away win.
2 Points for a draw.
5 Bonus Points for correct scoreline.

Pick only one Outfield Player from anyone of the sides involved in the given evening.

Chosen Player Points system (90 minutes only,extra time does not count)
1 point for every minute your chosen player plays in.

Points gained for Goals scored by your chosen player (90 mins only, Penalty shoot-outs do not count):-
3 points for each goal a Defender scores.
2 points for each goal a Midfielder scores.
1 point for each goal a Striker scores.

Discipline (90 minutes only,extra time does not count)
- 5 points If Chosen player recieves a yellow card
- 10 points if chosen player recieves a red card
(no more than a 15 point penalty for a player recieving yellow, a second yellow followed by red)


Information of Minutes played by the chosen player, and what Position the chosen player is registered in will be taken from the uefa.com official website and no other source. Entries for your chosen player will have to come from each individual once knowing the team news, so allowing the predictions to be posted around 10 minutes before kick off.

Any thoughts on this scoring system folks?

Thanks to those who came up with the ideas etc. All will be more than welcome to join the competition which is a taster in preperation for next season's tournament, If successful that is.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

Final proposals for the points system are as folows:-

General Predictions (90 minutes only,Extra time does not count)
1 Point for Home win.
1 Point for Away win.
2 Points for a draw.
3 Bonus Points for correct scoreline.

Each Matchday, Pick Four Players, 1 Goalkeeper, 1 Defender, 1 Midfielder and 1 Striker from as many clubs as you wish. For example, if you wished to pick Cech, Terry, Joe Cole and Drogba from Chelsea then so be it, however you have freedom to choose singular players from any team/s on the given matchday fixture list.

Points gained for Goals scored/conceded by your chosen players (90 mins only, Penalty shoot-outs do not count):-
Goalkeeper: 2 points for a clean sheet,
-1 point for each goal conceded.
Defender: 3 points for each goal scored for his team,
-1 point for every own goal conceded
Midfielder: 2 points for each goal scored for his team,
-1 point for every own goal conceded.
Striker: 1 point for each goal scored for his team,
-1 point for every own goal conceded.
All players: 10 additional bonus points for a hat-trick to be scored for his team.

Discipline (90 minutes only,extra time does not count)
- 5 points If any Chosen player receives a yellow card
- 10 points if any chosen player receives a red card
(no more than a 15 point penalty total for a each player receiving yellow, a second yellow followed by red).

Note: How each individual chooses his or her players depends on waiting for official confirmed team news or assuming your chosen players will start the games, however if a player of your choice does not make an appearance, then obviously no points can be scored so choose carefully. Also take note that players positions are taken from uefa.com and there squad listings. Check out for updates on the squad rota's or omissions due to a lack of updated information.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

Look at the scores: 5-1, 5-1, 6-1. Well, a team reaches to this round after the group stage and gets humiliated. I think only 1st and 2nd places teams should qualify from the groups. It is not a big deal to be 3rd in a 5 team group. And you see the results now, they simply can not match the quality of their opponents.

Tell that to Zenit, Bolton & Anderlecht...

Actually more 3rds through to the next round than 2nds - only Tottenham & Fiorentina. Without checking the stats I'd say that was pretty unusual as a fair proportion of CL dropouts tend to flop.

That aside I agree with you about "top two" only progressing. That will be the case from 2009-10 - although it will be from groups of 4 rather than 5.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

What a massive let down throughout the whole evening. From the poor Referee to the suspect commentary, nothing tops the sluggish, nervous, lacklustre display shown from Everton. Only Tim Howard done himself proud in a game that produced nothing in terms of excitment for the blues. It still is affectively only half time, however, i feel that we may just have bitten the dust in this competition. Saying that, me having a positive attitude in life, Moyes men still are not totally out of it. The tactics Everton set for the second leg will be key, and patience is required rather than throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the Italians looking for an early breakthrough, that tactic will only expose Everton's defence. It is an interesting situation ahead.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

if it wasnt for tim howard we would be dead and buried.i would say i am not to confident for the second leg as if the italians score we need 4 goals!the crowd will be behind them but that didnt help against chelsea in the semi final.at half time in italy i thought we could get away with maybe a 0-0 or a 1-0 defeat but 2-0 could be to much.we never really got going in the game which is the most disappointing thing,but once again tim howard was outstanding and if we get in to the next round his performance could be remembered for a long time.

Re: UEFA Cup Prediction Competition 2007-2008

I feel for you thrall, really i do. You was very unfortunate that Luca Toni netted twice in extra-time, a period in which he was also booked, however with extra-time not being included stated clearly by the games rules, there is little i could but to sympathise. On the positive side, your lead at the top has been extended due to mine and steve31's points tally of minus 1 and 3 respectively. Still, i do understand your frustration.

Congratulations also to Rangers although i prefer Zenit to win the final. Why? because of Rangers attitude when they where eliminated from the Champions League. Now the UEFA Cup is worth something to the Scots despite them initially saying the UEFA Cup was scant consolation, how the mind boggles.

Competition scores will appear tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay.
