PL Group Stage Results & Current Table Standings

 

For the record, these are the colour codes and explanations of how each of the PL group tables are laid out, in order of importance. Only one predictor from each group will progress to the next round.

 

MP = TOTAL MATCH POINTS [Collected So Far In Wins, Draws Or Defeats]

GD = GOAL DIFFERENCE [Points Scored vs Points Against]

PF = POINTS FOR [Total Points Accumulated In All Fixtures So Far]

PA = POINTS AGAINST [Total Points Opponents Have Accumulated Against You So Far]

 

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. If you have any corrections to the scores below, let me know and I will double-double-check them.

 

Group A

 

Fixture 1:

Tellerion 1-3 2plus2.

Ollie10 3-2 Group Average.

 

*The average score in this group was 2.33, which is rounded to the nearest whole number to give a group average for this fixture of 2 points.

 

Current Standings

01. 2plus2 [MP; 03] [GD; +02] [PF; 03] [PA; 01]

02. Ollie10 [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 03] [PA; 02]

03. Group Average [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 02] [PA; 03]

04. Tellerion [MP; 00] [GD; -02] [PF; 01] [PA; 03]

 

Summary

Yours truly is off to a surprisingly fast start after successfully predicting the correct exact score as well as one correct goalscorer. Ollie10 did just enough to narrowly outscore the group average, leaving these two as the early pace setters.

 

Group B

 

Fixture 1:

Borodane 2-1 McTom123.

Humpty 3-2 LegendaryMisfit.

 

Current Standings

01. Humpty [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 03] [PA; 02]

02. Borodane [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 02] [PA; 01]

03. LegendaryMisfit [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 02] [PA; 03]

04. McTom123 [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 01] [PA; 02]

 

Summary

Two narrow one point victories for Humpty and Borodane see them open up an early lead on the rest, but at this early stage there is still everything to play for.

 

Group C

 

Fixture 1:

Treknut 3-2 Stubbzy69.

Boro-unger 1-2 Group Average.

 

*The group average for this fixture was exactly 2 points.

 

Current Standings

01. Treknut [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 03] [PA; 02]

02. GroupAverage [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 02] [PA; 01]

03. Stubbzy69 [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 02] [PA; 03]

04. Boro-unger [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 01] [PA; 02]

 

Summary

The people's choice let's his public down, and Stubbzy's first game appeared to be nothing short of premature. Neither will be happy as another group without a draw sees Treknut and the group average [which cannot qualify for the next round for the record] open up a solid lead.

 

Group D

 

Fixture 1:

Gladgarethhasgone 2-2 CStephenson01.

Alanfromboro 2-1 Boroboy.

 

Current Standings

01. AlanFromBoro [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 02] [PA; 01]

02. CStephenson01 [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 02] [PA; 02]

02. Gladgarethhasgone [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 02] [PA; 02]

04. Boroboy [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 01] [PA; 02]

 

Summary

CStephenson and Gladgareth battled out a hard fought draw that, whilst leaving neither over the moon, represents a reasonable start. Boroboy was defeated by Alan. Tight margins.

 

Group E

 

Fixture 1:

YouAreMyBoro 1-3 Boroboy1980.

Tho_e 1-3 Prowler.

 

Current Standings

01. Boroboy1980 [MP; 03] [GD; +02] [PF; 03] [PA; 01]

01. Prowler [MP; 03] [GD; +02] [PF; 03] [PA; 01]

03. Tho_e [MP; 00] [GD; -02] [PF; 01] [PA; 03]

03. YouAreMyBoro [MP; 00] [GD; -02] [PF; 01] [PA; 03]

 

Summary

Two matches, two identical scores. Prowler, one of the surprise pre-tournament favourites, got off to a good start alongside Boroboy1980. The other two lived up to their underdog statuses. But far greater recoveries have been achieved and with 11 of the 12 fixtures left, don't count your chickens.

 

Group F

 

Fixture 1:

Nawoo 1-3 Tanksie.

Aarfy_Aardvark 1-2 Group Average.

 

*The average score in this group was 1.66, which is rounded to the nearest whole number to give a group average for this fixture of 2 points.

 

Current Standings

01. Tanksie [MP; 03] [GD; +02] [PF; 03] [PA; 01]

02. GroupAverage [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 02] [PA; 01]

03. Aarfy_Aardvark [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 01] [PA; 02]

04. Nawoo [MP; 00] [GD; -02] [PF; 01] [PA; 03]

 

Summary

Nawoo was a hot tip for the tournament, but a stuttering start has left a dark gloomy cloud above his likely pre-tournament optimism. Aarfy also came up short after failing to beat the average. Our current leader, Tanksie, will not be in shock at his fine first foray in this tournament and will be looking to continue his good start in this, as well as building upon his previous success in other tournaments.

 

Group G

 

Fixture 1:

Neverbefore 3-2 DanFromDownSouth.

Smogsterking the Inspiration 1-1 Kier.

 

Current Standings

01. Neverbefore [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 03] [PA; 02]

02. Kier [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 01] [PA; 01]

02. Smogsterking [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 01] [PA; 01]

04. DanFromDownSouth [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 02] [PA; 03]

 

Summary

A really unfortunate start for our debut participant, DanFromDownSouth, who became one of only two predictors to score 2 points and end up losing. In Neverbefore he faced a true great of the game though, so all is not lost as he can take some pride from a decent early showing. That was our highest scoring match of the tournament so far and will naturally get first play on our Match Of The Day highlights. Kier and Smogsterking played out a tight 1-1 draw.

 

Group H

 

Fixture 1:

Workingtonboro 2-2 Stephenmilne27.

Vectorboro 2-3 Jamesp

 

Current Standings

01. Jamesp [MP; 03] [GD; +01] [PF; 03] [PA; 02]

02. Stephenmilne27 [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 02] [PA; 02]

03. Workingtonboro [MP; 01] [GD; 00] [PF; 02] [PA; 02]

04. Vectorboro [MP; 00] [GD; -01] [PF; 02] [PA; 03]

 

Summary

Our other unlucky loser, Vectorboro, was the other predictor to score 2 and lose. Unlucky sir. Very unlucky indeed. Jamesp was the beneficiary after an excellent display. Workingtonboro and Stephenmilne played out an entertaining 2-2 draw, leaving Group H as the highest scoring group of the tournament so far. More from me and my team of Gareth Southgate & Gordon Strachan tomorrow as we will endeavour to bring you the latest updates and 'expert' analysis. Thanks for listening.

Not sure in form is the right term to use, since I ended up the league miserably, but with a runners up medal and a winners medal from the 3 cup competitions this season I can safely say this kinds of competitions are my bread and butter :P Good effort though Dan, a great debut with lots of promise showing!

You gave me crap odds, so I crapped on the favorite:D. I am unstoppable, A Juggernaut, the predictor of the end times. Look upon my stunning form and despair.
