S6M18: Festive Fixtures

Good news!

I've sorted my technical gremlins so will replace this text in due course with all the results from the last 3 matchdays.

Just thought I'd put a quick placeholder in with the festive predos 'cos I know people vanish off the face of the planet to stuff their faces with turkey, so wanted to give you as much time as possible.

The plan is for the the updated blog to go live later this evening

For now however:

Right - here goes with 3 matchdays' worth of data. I've tried my hardest not to drop the ball on this - but I've received submissions via a variety of media so, if I've missed one of your submissions out, my apologies. Please let me know where you sent it and I'll add it to the database so future scores will be updated. If anyone has a spare copy of the Times from 10/12/16 knocking about and wants to let me have the FT predos from that day too....

Let's get cracking:

Matchday 15

Best predicted results: Spurs |& West Ham WINS (25/25)

Everyone's results:


A really horrible graph. My apologies. I've also noticed an error  for M17. TN didn't play so each bar should shift 1 to the right. DSIL scored the 3 given to DS, who scored the 7 from SR and so on. The database is correct, but to remake the graph would make me cry. Sorry.

The leaderboard (>2/3; 12/17)


A phenomenal run of form from ECI sees the model open up a good lead at the top. All 4 models in the top 6. I've gone into freefall. Very tight at the bottom however. Sure there's some sort of Sid James/Barbara Windsor-esque noise to make at that sentence...

To this week's predictions:

Boxing Day (M18)

Watford vs Crystal Palace - WATFORD
Arsenal vs WBA - ARSENAL
Burnley vs Middlesborough - MIDDLESBOROUGH
Chelsea vs Bournemouth - CHELSEA
Leicester vs Everton - LEICESTER
Man Utd vs Sunderland - MAN UTD

Hull vs Man City - MAN CITY
Liverpool vs Stoke - LIVERPOOL
Spurs vs Southampton - SPURS

Good luck guys! Normal service should now be resumed from now on!

Whatever you're up to this weekend, have a good one! And if anyone sees a lonely looking Chilean bloke walking 2 dogs around Hampstead, send him over to Whitechapel. Ya know. For the kids....
