It moved me out of the relegation battle for the first time this season to now possibly a CL race. Probably too much ground to catch up at this stage though after the generally poor season to date!

Yea I might do another double point round soonish. Unfortunately I have found myself a lot busier lately so have only just been managing to get on and outline picks etc. Hopefully with the international break after Rennes I can take stock, and perhaps post up a plan for the rest of the season or something.

Ok, next picking round. Hows about, til the end of the season, we pick scores and players for all games, rather than results only for Liverpool/Chelsea?

I was thinking it would be good to get more points available, but I didn't really like the double points round we did, as it feels a tad unfair - one good week can see someone's previous good picking come to nothing, which is kinda harsh. 

Any objections?

If so, here's our next round, just pick the FT score for each match, plus two players from Liverpool/Arsenal/Chelsea:

Round 33 (Note: missed Round 32, and will skip the Chelsea match scheduled for Thursday just to keep things neat and tidy)

Saturday morning:

Southampton v Liverpool

Monday morning:

Everton v Arsenal

Tuesday morning:

Chelsea v Westham

Ok, here we go, remaining picks for the EPL season.

I reckon lets make it simpler, and have some more points available.

So for the remainder of the season, we pick all Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool games the same way:

Score + 2 Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool players, same as Round 33 we just picked.

HOWEVER, I'm going to add 3x permanent extra points categories, and REMOVE the points for picking the correct FT score. New points available would be:

- Pick correct Margin (3 points)

- Pick correct goals scored by Chelsea/Arsenal/Liverpool (2 points)

- Pick correct goals scored by opposition (2 points)

And the remaining points stay the same, except the 5 pointer for picking the right score, which is gone, as it's been replaced by these new points. 

I thought that would be a good way to introduce a few more points, essentially breaking the score pick into chunks, to make things more interesting through the remainder of the season. 

Any objections?

Ok so I've reviewed the remainder of the draw so that I can outline it all here in one post. Note: Wolves v Arsenal is a catch-up game and has been included in Round 35, so two Arsenal matches for picking in that round:

Round 34

Apr 15: Liverpool v Chelsea

Apr 16: Watford v Arsenal

Round 35

Apr 22: Cardiff v Liverpool

Apr 22: Arsenal v Crystal Palace

Apr 23: Chelsea v Burnley

Apr 25: Wolves v Arsenal

Round 36

Apr 27: Liverpool v Huddersfield

Apr 29: ManU v Chelsea

Apr 30: Leicester v Arsenal

Round 37

May 5: Arsenal v Brighton

May 5: Chelsea v Watford

May 6: Newcastle v Liverpool

Round 38

May 13: Liverpool v Wolves

May 13: Burnley v Arsenal

May 13: Leicester v Chelsea

Feel free to pick through the end of the season if you want to, otherwise come in week to week and do it, no problems any which way.

I will see how the next european knock-out rounds go for all our teams and potentially include some picks for the rounds after that, will let you know.

Also... I think I will go invisible with the leader board after round 35. So for the final 3 rounds, and the last tally of the preseason picks, you wont be able to see the leaderboard. Then in memory of foal30, i can reveal the final placings with a bit of a drumroll :)
We never agreed any monetary prizes in the end but it will still be a bit of fun.

Sounds good Paul, although I do picking the exact score should be rewarded.

Sorry for the confusing explanations...

To clarify, picking the exact score certainly will be rewarded, because if you do that, you will get all of the new points categories:

- Pick correct Margin (3 points)

- Pick correct number of goals for Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal (2 points)

- Pick correct number of goals for the opposition (2 points)

So that means if you pick the exact score, you now get 7 rather than 5. However it also means that if you don't pick the right score, but you do pick any of the above in isolation, you will get some points too.
