Who doesn’t love a predictions league? I know, right? If you’ve ever run a predictions or fantasy league, how often did you ask yourself why you volunteered to organize it? At least once a week? It’s like pulling teeth, I know. But for this group I’m willing to run a USL League 1 predictions competition and force them to prove me wrong. If these people think I’m annoying already, wait until I’m pinging them once the day before picks are due and twice the day they are due. So, how is this going to work? It’ll be quite simple:
- One point for correctly predicting the match winner
- Two points for correctly predicting a draw
- Three points for correctly predicting the final linescore
So what does the winner get? Well, nothing. Admiration from the readership I guess, but even that’s not guaranteed. As long as Luke doesn’t win I’m content. We’re going to post these updates once a week, hopefully the morning of the week’s first match. This week’s schedule is simple, obviously:
Week 1
| Ben | Jon | Liam | Luke | Rich | Riley | Ryan | |
| Fort Lauderdale CF v. NE Revolution II | 0-0 | 1-1 | 0-1 | 2-1 | 0-2 | 1-3 | 3-2 |
My goal is that by late May, all of you reading this will receive confirmation of what you’ve been thinking all along: these people have no idea what the hell they’re talking about. I, for one, look forward to embarrassing myself all season long!
