Group Stage – Results

Congratulations to YFree, the leader at the halfway point after the completion of the Group Stage. Your £102 prize is on the way! The Freeman ladies are putting the men to shame, with AlFree Jnr currently in joint 2nd place.

Full results are below (or, if you prefer a spreadsheet view, click here). If the box is yellow, you scored two points for getting it exactly right. If the box is white, you scored one point for getting it half right. If the box is grey, you scored zilch for being totally wrong!

Special mention to Aunty Katy for correctly predicting the number of goals so far (121) – shame the rest of your predictions weren’t so accurate!

 

Group Stage Predictions

The prize fund stands at £410, which means the overall winner will scoop £308 and the leader after the Group Stage will win £102!!

Remember, you score a point for each team you correctly predicted to qualify for the next round and a bonus point if you correctly predicted their finishing position (1st or 2nd). If there’s a tie for first place, the tiebreaker will come into play.

Good luck everybody!
