it was left open for the league predictions as the Transfer Window may have had an impact on your decision.

It`s only a short period compared to the full season.

If its going to remain open after the season starts it should only be to change player to someone joining a club before deadline but after season started.
Last season McPake was leading by a good margin before the deadline and multiple people switched to him.
I had Ross County to win and changed to St Johnstone because others were so sticking with that would gave disadvantaged me.
It didn`t work well last season.

Exactly. It`s about the least important thing on planet earth but no point letting people change teams if they`ve had a horror start (like many people did with Ross County). Hard enough for idiots like me who forget at least 4 weekends a season without this as well 😂

I concur. Lock it down from the first minute of the season.

Happy to do it that way, understand your reasons.

Good. All votes for league champion and top scorer should be made before a ball is kicked in the league, just as there is in predicting the scores of individual matches.

53 brave souls are now signed up. With a massive 43 opting to donate to DADSC.

Massive thank you to you all.

FIFA have been in touch to allow us to leave the top scorer and winning team open for the transfer window!

Pretty sure that means we will be shutting the ability to make changes down at 14:59 tomorrow!!

So, make sure your`s are spot on.

Time is running out to get into the Prediction League before a ball is kicked.

20 bonus points up for grabs if you join before 14:59.

Go on - you know you want to.

Three hours to go before the real fun starts.

56 punters are brave enough to fight it out to become the next Stanza.

Go on, give it a go, you know you want to.

But you`ll have to fight me for it ...

I see from the Leaderboard that JazzyBazzy scored 25 points in the first round of matches, which is amazing - to do that he must have got all five Championship scores exactly correct!

Has that ever happened before? Will he get a special prize for being infallible?

BUT his figure in brackets for correct scores is only (2) - so is there some other way of accumulating points, or is the system needing tweaked?

He has Robbie Muirhead as top scorer so 10 points added for that.

The top scorer thing is only.relevant at the end of the season

It updates every week along with the scores. So when Ollie Shaw scores a hat-trick next week all those that have picked him will score 10 bonus points and they will be taken away from the current leader as long as they don`t sxore too 😀

No, according to the rules page:

"DAFCnet and others: 10 bonus points for identifying the tournament’s winning team and 10 points for naming the competition Top Scorer."

So are 10 points added/removed after every match as well, for all those who have the team currently leading the league? Seems very cumbersome if that`s the case.

Yes scores are re calculated each game.

All built in and incorporated easily.

Seems bizarre to add those bonus scores before the end of the season.

If you didn`t guess any scores correctly and your top goalscorer was overtaken then you`d be on negative points for that week.

It is very bizarre indeed and i dont believe people were informed before the season started. The wording on the site itself suggests its bonus points for picking the league winner and top scorer of the season as a whole (which is what 99% of people would expect)

Can understand the confusion if it`s not clear.

It`s been done that way in past seasons.
It`s just a dynamic method taking into account all information regarding the league.
As Top Scorer may change at times
