Ok, will start putting together the picks for the season's start, this is just a placeholder at this point. I will update this first post to state once it's completed (please ignore my copy/paste/drafting etc in the meantime!) 

EDIT 31/7: Have made initial post for full season picks, will await feedback before locking in...

Also, had a look through the old threads for some history... unfortunately it seems most of the picks threads have been lost, I think they disappeared along with the old arsenal sub-forum... but I was able to track down the winners of the last 4 seasons;

2017/18: Brumbys

2016/17: Paulm

2015/16: Foal30

2014/15: Ajc28

4 different winners in the last 4 seasons, love it!

Ok, full season picks below, to be made by Aug 31. I pasted from last year, and then made amendments. I changed some of the points awarded for some that seemed to big or too small, and added a couple of things at the bottom. Also, your picks do not have to marry up, you can hedge your bets. For example, you might place Arsenal below Spurs in your top 6 placings for the season, but still name a round for St Totts day, that's absolutely fine, I will tally up each pick on its merits. 

When you make your picks, please number them as per the corresponding numbers, just to make it easier for me!

1) Top 6 (name in specific order): 3 points for each correct team in their correct spot, or 1 point for each team picked in the 6, but not in their correct spot

2) Relegation places (no particular order): 3 points for each

All of the following are 5 points:

3) Player with most Assists for the EPL (from any team)

4) Player with most Goals for the EPL (from any team)

5) Keeper with highest Number of EPL clean sheets (from any team)

6) Highest scoring Arsenal player for the season, in all comps

7) Highest scoring Liverpool player for the season, in all comps

8) Arsenal EPL GD at end of season (write as +16 etc)

9) Liverpool EPL GD at end of season

10) Arsenal finishing round for League Cup

11) Arsenal finishing round for FA Cup

12) Arsenal finishing round for Europa League

13) Liverpool finishing round for the Champions League

14) R19 and R38 Arsenal position in the EPL

15) R19 and R38 Liverpool position in the EPL

16) Round number for St Tott's Day confirmation (write NA if you believe this won't happen, NA will also be worth 5 points)

17) Highest scoring Chelsea player for the season, in all comps

18) Chelsea EPL GD at end of season

19) Chelsea finishing round for Europa League

Match Picking Rules:

Arsenal X Opposition X

Player 1, Player 2

Liverpool: Win/Draw/Loss

Chelsea: Win/Draw/Loss

Example:

Arsenal 7 Spurs 0

Iwobi, Mustafi

Liverpool: Draw

Chelsea: Loss

So you get:

- 1 point for correctly picking an Arsenal win

- 2 points for correctly picking an Arsenal draw

- 3 points for correctly picking an Arsenal loss

- 5 bonus points for picking the exact score

- 1 point for each player goal/assist, and 2 points if a defender/keeper gets a clean sheet

- 3 bonus points if one of your players gets the highest player rating on Whoscored.com i.e. they are effectively Arsenal's man of the match

- 1 point for correctly picking Liverpool's result

- 1 point for correctly picking Chelsea's result

AND when Liverpool and Chelsea play against "big 6" teams, we will have full score/player picks for those matches too. I'll try and remind everyone when that is happening, but if I forget, please just do it! Leighbo and Downey might want to be nice and remind us when they have those games coming up too. I'll also do double point rounds when Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool play each other.

All stats will be taken from Whoscored.com, just because it's a consistent system that is easy for me to check. Go check it out if you want to see what it's about. The player rating scores are pretty good. They give a little star to the player with the highest rating in the game. So that will be the MOTM, but if the player is from the opposition, I'll take the highest arsenal player to rate instead. And if it's tied, I'll give the points for both. FYI players who score/assist tend to get disproportionately high ratings, especially defenders, as a tip. For example when Monreal went on that hot scoring run a while back he was racking up MOTM's consistently.

Yea I could do it that way actually, but I think I'd prefer to just do it through this thread... admin shouldn't be too bad. The full season picks is a once-off thing to calculate at the end and the match picks are easy enough to manage as they come.

Cheers for the brainstorm though! Always keen to hear any suggestions or tips

If you're definitely keen then I will add Chelsea equivalents for numbers 7 and 9 in, and also something as an equivalent to 12/13... 

Let me know?

Everyone: I'll add these as additional ones on the end i.e. 17, 18, 19, so that any picks posted already don't get shunted out of order.

FYI, I know this seems like a lot of work now, but it's really not. These full season picks get made now, but the work to calculate them doesn't come until the end of the season, when we're at the business end and it's really fun for me anyway (yes I am a nerd who enjoys this sort of thing, I am a Business Analyst by trade, go figure LOL).

I will post the pick requirements for each game in the next day or so. I am thinking I might do our normal score and player selections for the Arsenal game each week, and maybe a bonus 1 point to pick the result only of the Liverpool game (and Chelsea if downey26 confirms his involvement). 

Are all the normal Arsenal guys comfortable with what I'm doing here? I hope it's not too annoying doing some Liverpool/Chelsea stuff so that others can be involved? I like this being an Arsenal thing but there's not a lot of us, hopefully it's a small price to pay for getting a couple of extra people involved... inclusivity and diversity and all that ;)

Leggy, honestly, just f*ck right off mate. You're smashing the thread with your cr*p that no one wants to see, and it's just making it more difficult for me to be able to review these posts at the end of the season and calculate the scores, as I'll have to trawl through your pathetic sh*t posting. I'm reporting your posts with a message to see if the mods can remove them. 

Also, FYI, I picked Arsenal to win every single game two seasons ago and won this pick comp, so being an optimistic fan does not preclude you from winning. It's called "having fun". You should try it sometime.

Ok, rules for single match picks. 

Similar to foal's usual, with a couple of differences: 3 bonus points for Arsenal MOTM on Whoscored.com, and an extra bonus point each for selecting the correct result in the liverpool and chelsea matches as well. if everyone is cool with that... 

So each week, if you can, try and pick like this;

Arsenal X Opposition X

Player 1, Player 2

Liverpool: Win/Draw/Loss

Chelsea: Win/Draw/Loss

Example: 

Arsenal 7 Spurs 0

Iwobi, Mustafi

Liverpool: Draw

Chelsea: Loss

So you get: 

- 1 point for correctly picking an Arsenal win

- 2 points for correctly picking an Arsenal draw 

- 3 points for correctly picking an Arsenal loss

- 5 bonus points for picking the exact score

- 1 point for each player goal/assist, and 2 points if a defender/keeper gets a clean sheet

- 3 bonus points if one of your players gets the highest player rating on Whoscored.com i.e. they are effectively Arsenal's man of the match

- 1 point for correctly picking Liverpool's result

- 1 point for correctly picking Chelsea's result

AND when Liverpool and Chelsea play against "big 6" teams, we will have full score/player picks for those matches too. I'll try and remind everyone when that is happening, but if I forget, please just do it! Leighbo and Downey might want to be nice and remind us when they have those games coming up too. I'll also do double point rounds when Arsenal/Chelsea/Liverpool play each other.

All stats will be taken from Whoscored.com, just because it's a consistent system that is easy for me to check. Go check it out if you want to see what it's about. The player rating scores are pretty good. They give a little star to the player with the highest rating in the game. So that will be the MOTM, but if the player is from the opposition, I'll take the highest arsenal player to rate instead. And if it's tied, I'll give the points for both. FYI players who score/assist tend to get disproportionately high ratings, especially defenders, as a tip. For example when Monreal went on that hot scoring run a while back he was racking up MOTM's consistently. 

Sorry hope that's not too much to take in! Everyone good?

17) Highest scoring Chelsea player for the season, in all comps

18) Chelsea EPL GD at end of season

19) Chelsea finishing round for Europa League

So for those that have done it, update your picks to add those three on. The rest of us are yet to make them yet so all good. 

Remember to make these picks by August 31. 

So now everything is locked in and we're ready to go. I'll make my first week pick as an example to follow.

I'm friends with him outside of the forums, he doesn't have access to YF at work, so he will sometimes send me his picks to post on here. I'll just post them up as his each time he does that.

Paulm what're the rules regarding picking same players/scorelines - is that for regular rounds or just the specials?

We will have some restriction on it for the special rounds, and also in general when we get to the business end of the season, but for now, in regular rounds, fill your boots, no issue with picking the same scorelines and/or players as other people. 

When some restrictions are going to apply I'll be sure to post. 

There's also one minor thing I haven't addressed. Occasionally, further into the season, we'll get rounds where Liverpool/Chelsea do not play on the same weekend/midweek as Arsenal, due to cup matches, postponements etc. When this is going to happen, I'll just state that there's no Liverpool/Chelsea pick this week. I don't want to get into the business of having single week picks needing to be re-visited when they play make-up games etc etc, just gets too tricky and time-consuming.
