Right, with the introduction of the new competitions this year, I'm hoping that we can use just one thread for the entire season because it will make life easier with the predictions we make at the very beginning of the season, i.e Champions. The top selections from the poll were... Season prediction: Top Scorer for the season 10 Champions 10 Teams to be Relegated 10 per team Weekly Predictions: Hat-Trick scorer for the week 10 Player to be sent off for the week 10 I've put how many points that either me or icarassco will allocate in bold next to the selection. I will post the list of fixtures in a few moments, and we shall let the Prediction League commence
