GW35 Prediction of the Week

Notable mentions go to the one game this week that went against all the odds and took everyone by surprise, or at least, everyone but two. That's because two of our predictors went against the crowd and saw something that none of the rest did; Everton's unlikely victory against Chelsea. Not only that, they also both correctly predicted the 1-0 scoreline. u/daneedwards88 and u/TheSilentMajorityy.

This week's honours are reserved for one player that not only made one spectacular prediction, but five! Yes, FIVE correct predictions! This along with a season's best weekly high score of 19 points. The GW35 Prediction of the Week therefore goes to... u/A_B28!

How to Play

You post your predictions for each fixture in the format specified (e.g. Manchester United v Crystal Palace (2-1)) and you are awarded points as per the following:

A correct result (e.g. 1-0) = 1 point

A correct score (e.g. 2-1) = 3 points

You will be awarded either 0, 1 or 3 points (with a maximum score of 3 points) per fixture.

So in the hypothetical fixture above, if the match ended 2-1 and you had predicted 3-2 to United, you would be awarded 1 point.

If you predicted 2-1 to United, you would be awarded the full 3 points.

If you predicted a draw or a Palace win, you would score 0 points.

You can see a more detailed explanation of the rules here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GW36 Fixtures and Format

  • Brentford v Southampton (H-A)
  • Burnley v Aston Villa (H-A)
  • Chelsea v Wolves (H-A)
  • Crystal Palace v Watford (H-A)
  • Brighton v Man Utd (H-A)
  • Liverpool v Tottenham (H-A)
  • Arsenal v Leeds (H-A)
  • Leicester v Everton (H-A)
  • Norwich v West Ham (H-A)
  • Man City v Newcastle (H-A)
  • Aston Villa v Liverpool (H-A)
  • Leeds v Chelsea (H-A)
  • Leicester v Norwich (H-A)
  • Watford v Everton (H-A)
  • Wolves v Man City (H-A)
  • Tottenham v Arsenal (H-A)

Each prediction must be in the following format:

  • Home Team v Away Team (2-1)

This is because the Excel macro expects predictions in this format and ignores everything else.

The most important parts of each prediction are the hyphen (-) and the brackets (()).

Please do not use colons (:) or other brackets because the macro is not looking for these.

The order is the next most important thing because e.g. if you post your Burnley v Southampton prediction before the Bournemouth v Sheffield Utd fixture, then the macro will take your Burnley v Southampton prediction as your Bournemouth v Sheffield Utd prediction.

Predictions not fitting this format and order will not be manually corrected unless in the case of very rare exceptions. You are responsible for your own predictions.

Mobile and App Users

If you are using the official Reddit app, you should leave a blank line after each prediction.

GW36 Deadline

You can edit your comment before the first kick-off of the GW, which is on Saturday 7 May at 15:00 BST. For anyone that misses the deadline, predictions may be made for the remaining games within that gameweek, simply leave the missed games blank in your comment.

Good luck!
