Detoxin would appear to have his first title won, although I haven't looked through the pre-season picks to work out what points people are getting. Could there be a end of season swing?

Scores all tallied, just waiting on the outcome of the Manager of the Season award for the pre-season picks which is supposed to be announced today UK time so should know tomorrow morning. Things are close enough that whether it's Guardiola or Arteta (or someone else) will change things in the final table so eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Pre season picks results:
Top 6 in order (5 points for each correct placing): Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Chelsea
Bottom 3 any order (5 points for each correct pick): Luton, Burnley, Sheffield United
Arsenal top scorer (5 points): Saka
Arsenal top assister (5 points): Saka
Liverpool top scorer (5 points): Salah
Liverpool top assister (5 points): Salah
Chelsea top scorer (5 points): Palmer
Chelsea top assister (5 points): Palmer
PL Golden Boot (5 points): Haaland
PL Golden Gloves (5 points): Raya
First manager to leave/sacked (5 points): Heckingbottom
Player of the Season (10 points): Foden
Young Player of the Season (10 points): Palmer
Manager of the Season (10 points): Guardiola

Results of note:
Of 120 points up for grabs from pre-season picks, I got the highest total with 60, followed by Detoxin with 45. Prof got the lowest with 25. I did the best in the top 6 picks, getting the top 3 in order. Detoxin was the only other person to get the top 2 correctly.

Paul was the only person to get the bottom 3, and even managed to list them in the correct order, though no bonus points for the order. The rest of us all got 2/3 but had faith in at least one promoted team staying up. Bit mixed on the team top scorer and assister picks. Only Texas and Prof didn't pick Saka for Arsenal top scorer while 4/6 of us went for Odegaard for assists. Only Kwlap made the odd choice of not picking Salah for Liverpool top scorer. Noone picked Palmer for Chelsea, but hardly surprising when he didn't even play for them at the start of the season.

We all had Haaland for golden boot. Noone got the first manager sacked, golden glove, player of the season or young player of the season. Manager of the season announced yesterday ended up deciding mine and Paul's end positions.

Final table:

Congrats to Detoxin for claiming a maiden title. Once hitting the top in the 2nd half of the season he never looked like being caught and held on for a first title, breaking the run of Paul and I being the top 2 for the last 3 seasons. I end up much like Arsenal, agonisingly 2nd for a 2nd season in a row after a strong result on the pre-season picks saw me overhaul the gap Paul had going into the final round.

Congrats Detoxin! Well in lad.
thanks everyone for a good season.
And the biggest thanks to Ajc for running this. So much time and effort. Very much appreciated.

Ps- I did actually pick heckingbottom as first to get the sack btw, not that it matters

Yep, thanks for the reminder. Sorry for being late organising - had quite a bit going on recently. My Dad passed away a month ago so things like this had fallen off my radar while dealing with that.
I'll set up the new thread on Monday.
