EPL 2022-2023 Prediction Competition

[Shwafta]

Hello people!

I figured it would be fun to try to guess the final standings of the EPL for this season. Also, because I shamelessly love competitions.

Rules and guidelines:

Note - Rule change this year to add FA Cup and EFL (Carabao) Cup winners

Score will be based on the following things:

1) Champion
2) Champions League Qualification
3) Europa League Qualification
4) Relegation
5) Top Scorer
6) Highest/Lowest Scoring Team
7) Highest/Lowest Conceding Team
8) Carabao Cup winner
9) FA Cup winner

Please list the teams starting from #1 to #20 in a format like so:
1) Team FC
2) Team2 FC
etc.
I'd prefer if you use official names (i.e. "Everton" rather than "the Toffees")

For top scorer please give one player's name.
For highest/lowest scoring/conceding teams, please give two teams, one for highest and one for lowest - do not give multiple for highest or multiple for lowest.

Point calculation:

• For each team: +1 point per deviation from official final position
• Correct Champion: -3 points
• Correct Champions League Qualification (not including champion or EL winner): -.5 points per team
• Correct Europa League Qualification (not including cup competitions): -.5 points per team
• Correct Relegation candidates: -1 point per team
• Correct Top Scorer: -2 points (Note: If multiple top scorers win, you will still get -2)
• Correct highest/lowest scoring teams: -1 point per team
• Correct highest/lowest conceding teams: -1 point per team
• Correct FA Cup winner: -3
• Correct EFL (Carabao) Cup winner: -3

Lowest score wins!

Tiebreakers:

• Most amount of teams guessed in the correct position
• Most amount of correctly guessed Champion+UCL+EL+Relegation teams

Submission deadline is kickoff of MD 2 of the 2022-2023 season, August 13th at 7:30am EST. This should be plenty of time to put together your thoughts for the season.

man, reading these is hilarious with hindsight

Sorry for responding so late to this! I have tallied up the scores. You can see the full scoring here, please let me know if you see any errors because it was EXTREMELY tight this year! For the first time ever we have a tie for 2nd and 3rd place, so I used the tiebreaker, 2nd place won out only because they guessed two correct spots on the table compared to the other's only one correct spot on the table.

Thanks everyone for playing, Looking forward to this again this year!! (Thread going up momentarily)

Gold Medal: NYCFC_Dan (71 scored) - Congrats on the second victory!
Silver Medal: Gotham Gator (77.5 scored) - Won the tiebreaker for guessing Man City to win the title and Everton to avoid relegation by one place!
Copper Medal: D Dnigly13 (77.5 scored)
4th place: M moogoo (79 scored)
5th place: Brooklyn Blue (79.5 scored) - Good job on getting all the bonuses correct except for one! Incredible stuff.
6th place, wooden spoon: Shwafta (96 scored) - Major yikes.

This year clearly has been the hardest for us all, as the winning total is by far the highest. In fact, 71 (with two new bonuses in carabo/fa cup!) would put us all almost last in every year before now.
