    So now Sky have disrupted the schedules, it is time to put up the first set of fixtures for the coming season.

    Hopefully a lot of new posters will participate in this easy game where the idea is simply to get as many points as you can by choosing 10 teams from those listed below who you think will score the most goals. One of these teams should be highlighted in BOLD to count as double points. An 11th team should be picked on the basis of you thinking they will fail to score.

    You get 1 point for each goal scored by the first 10 teams (2 points for your doubler). You will get a 3 point bonus if the 11th team fails to hit the net, but you will lose a point for every goal they score in that game. A further bonus of 5 points is available if all 10 of your teams score goals ANG the 11th team fails to score.

    At certain times during the season there may be particular rules brought in, during FA Cup games for example where you will only be allowed to pick a certain number of top flight teams. So always make sure you read the first post in the thread as failure to post correctly can result in you only be awarded the lowest score by any of the posters that week. The decision of the Committee are final ;)

    Scores will usually be posted early in the week with the next weeks fixtures to give time to post.

    Happy to answer any questions via PM or in the Goals On Saturday Returs thread. This thread is only for your week 1 predictions.

    So here we go, pick your 11 teams from those listed below.
