Alrighty, one EPL round to go. I've just realised that the pre-season picks for final positions in the european competitions can't be calculated until the end of the month since we've all bloody well made the finals, so I'm thinking we absolutely have to do a special round for those finals now.  

How about we pick the following for both finals:

HT score

FT score

2 players from EVERY TEAM (Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea).

Due to picking both teams scores and players, we'll ignore the usual 3/2/1 system for picking the win/draw/loss, and go with just 2 points for picking the correct result at 90mins, as well as the usuals for goals-scored by each team, and the margin. All of this will be calculated based on 90 minutes - no Extra Time or Penalty Shootout picks.

Final EPL round for tomorrow night:

May 13: Liverpool v Wolves

May 13: Burnley v Arsenal

May 13: Leicester v Chelsea

I've secretly tallied everything up to this point in a spreadsheet, and all I can say is that the title is up for grabs 100%! We have a very close finish at the top, involving multiple parties. 

The mid table is also tight and will almost certainly change around with this weekend's results.

Disclaimer: we've obviously got the pre-season picks coming which could well turn things upside down a bit!

Alrighty, one set of picks to go. This will end with Monday morning's fixtures...... I'm not going to drag it out for a couple of weeks to do some special european final picks, as tempting as it is. I think the pre-season picks we made will swing the scores more than that would anyway... unless there's any major objections?

So the last games are:

Round 38

May 13: Liverpool v Wolves

May 13: Burnley v Arsenal

May 13: Leicester v Chelsea

Now I'm bloody busy at work on Monday so will try and get on Monday evening to post final results, including scores for all hidden rounds. At a stretch it could be Tuesday night...
