Alright, please register your interest! And tell me the team you support. 
We'll see how many are in and which teams are supported, and then figure out the format, but to be honest I think we'll go with pretty much same as last time out. Let me know if any ideas/suggestions for the format and scoring - anything is considered. 
First game is August 13 UK time, which will be saturday morning, August 14, our time. I'll probably make the cut-off for pre-season predictions Sept 1. 
Will update as I establish things. 
Get in!

Alrighty looking at a more limited field this year.
Lets go with the same format.
Only three teams to pick games for - Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea.
Pick the winner and either a +1 or 2+ margin (or a draw).
5 points for correct winner, 8 points for correct winner + margin, 8 for picking the draw.
Pick one player for each match, 5 points awarded if your player gets MOM according to whoscored.com.
Here's a sample with my picks to clarify:
Round 1 (Aug 14/15)
Brentford vs Arsenal
Chelsea vs Crystal Palace
Norwich vs Liverpool
My Picks:
Arsenal 2+, Tierney
Chelsea 2+, Werner
Liverpool Draw, van Dijk

Might be a quiet one on the picks front this season. Very little chat, just the 5 of us. But with a smaller league comes less work, so I'm cool with it being lower key this time round.
Get your picks in before this weekend!
I will put up the season picks soon, which will be due to be done just after the transfer window closes (closes Aug 31, so perhaps a week or two after that, will confirm).

Is it exact scores now rather than the goal margin, or that a mistake?
