Stanley Prediction League 2010/11 – Final Report

The final league tables are attached again for the benefit of those who haven’t noticed that the last post in each weekly thread includes them ….. :rolleyes:

Congratulations :jimbo:go to C’mon Stanley who emerged at the end of the season as a clear winner with 110 points, 11 clear of Nige B who sneaked past Kiwi John in the last week to take the second place Kiwi had been holding for a long time.

Wolverhampton Reds was an early leader, then Valairian showed in front for a while, Kiwi John took over around the halfway mark but C'mon Stanley led for the last 10 games or so. Yerself, Nige B and DaBeast were always there or thereabouts without ever making a decisive move.

C’mon Stanley takes the prize of a 2011/12 season ticket, generously donated by a Prediction League player who insists on remaining anonymous but receives thanks from us all. I just hope he bought it at the earlybird price …..:D

Some other facts which may or may not be of interest …

93 people had a go at some point during the season, including a number of opposition supporters and those who have us as their second club. 57 people played more than 10 times, 48 people more than 20 :).

14 people were committed / sad enough to play every week :confused:. These were (in order of appearance in the final table) , Nige B, David1, Wolverhampton Reds, KSH, Shurm, Cashman, Valairian, Me :p, NorwichStanley, Div3North :p, Redash, Wynonie, Outback Ozzy and Footy Nut.

16 people played once. I just about forgive them for the pain :mad: involved in adding them into the results database … just about!

I appear to have processed 2206 entries during the season :dancedog:. The average points score per entry was 1.87. 2 people averaged 4 points per entry – but they only made one entry. C’mon Stanley’s winning average was 2.62 over 42 entries, which was also the best average of people playing more than 5 times. Second best average was Waddy17, 2.29 over 35 entries.

:jimbo:The players with most spot-on predictions (result and score) were David1 and Football19, with 8 each. But they only had 15 and 13 (respectively) "draws" - results correct with the scores wrong, whereas C.mon Stanley had only 6 perfect but 22 draws. If you think those numbers don’t quite add up when you look at the table, remember a draw is worth 4 points if you get one of the scores right.

30 people never predicted a Stanley loss. Redash, Sparkie and Wynonie predicted a Stanley win every time they played :p

:dflam:The Rovers / Clarets unofficial competition was won by the Dingles’ rep, 83-76.

I think Redash has a function key set up to go “3-1 to The Stanley, please chaps.”

Finally, Wynonie’s aggregate prediction for the season was 187-52 – roughly 4-1 on average. But I don’t think he finally lost his tablets until the Torquay home game. The away prediction was actually spookily accurate - only 3 off :)

It’s been fun. See you at Old Trafford – I’m off to Turkey tomorrow morning for a week!!

:alright:
