Sons FC Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) @Smaldini, @YouReds, @Gizzy, @SouthCoastRed, @Darius1998, @Smallen, @Rob1981, @Mahzun_Savas, @The Golden boy, @oriole01, @VP., @Symbolic, @Jeroen Thijssen, @Lucas, @Hoarau, @ferrarinseb, @av3ry, @Constantine, @chris79, @Pompeyboyz, @Whoopy D, @GunmaN1905, @vikeologist, @cafcrocky, @Timma, @craigcwwe, @Orzelek, @WillHoward42, @sisyphus, @HOORAY HENRIK, @Tecmo, @SilenceOfTheLahms, @The_jagster, @Mr Wallin, @oche balboa, @Marvin, @CFuller, @Pafnus As Finals go, that was a cracker. Both teams gave their all (well, France after 75 mins) and there was no way to separate the teams at the end...well apart from penalties and we were treated to one of the, if not the, best World Cup finals of all time. Huge congratulations to Argentina and commiserations to France who came so close to retaining their title. There were some high scores in our league due to the very kind and generous bonuses on offer and everyone who played scored bonus points, some better than others of course. Almost everyone predicted Messi and Mbappe to score the first or last goal and as there was a 2,000 points bonus on both, many of you scored well. Nobody won the super mega bonus for the one million points - in fact nobody could win it after the first goal in 23 minutes. There were also 2,000 points for the total number of substitutes and nobody scored for this either. The game went to extra time, so they both had an extra sub, which they both used and Giroud was a concussion substitute, which gave France an extra sub. Only one player predicted that the game would go to extra time and only one player predicted the hattrick. To the scores and the winner of the World Cup Prediction League 2022. Sitting proudly on top of the table sits our friend and colleague !!!!WHOOPY D!!!! Fantastic effort by the Whoopster - a huge bonus round in the semi finals catapulted him to the top and a decent bonus score here saw him retain his place. Proud and defiant, he has seen off all challengers and becomes the beloved, sagacious, illustrious and insightful leader where he will remain for the next three and a half years. Very well done to him!! a wonderful achievement. Meanwhile, The inspiration has come through the ranks and sits in second place, thanks to the highest bonus score of the round with a super impressive 4,915 bonuses. He moves up 12 places. Very well done Jaggie and very fitting for one of the legends of the prediction leagues. Completing our podium places is a relative newcomer to the prediction leagues - Mahzun, who although he drops one place, will be absolutely delighted with third place - fantastic game - very well played Mahzers for an outstanding effort. Darius did himself no harm with a huge bonus score as well, moving up one place to fourth for a great finish just outside the top three. Rob!! Rob, Rob, Rob, what a result. The most experienced lower placings resident of most of the prediction leagues finds himself in fifth place - let me say that again for you Rob - fifth! Fantastic effort and he rose 10 places this round. Also climbing high is Smallen one of the members of our Hall of Fame for winning the round of 16 - remember they can never take that away from you and the Hall of Fame table is copied below in case anyone forgets! He rises a whopping 14 places and is our highest mover for the round. GunmaN falls one place but cements his place in the top ten by finishing 7th, Gizzygooglegogglepops moves down one to eighth, while Craig rises a handy three places to ninth. Completing the top ten, is Vikie, who drops one place but was higher up the table than before due to a score correction from the last round. Very well done to all our top ten - a real and proud achievement for you all. Just out the top and falling one place, Fuller drops to 11th, while Seb roars up that engine and just runs out of road to finish 12th. The Golden Boy drop three to 13th and he will be disappointed, whereas The Old Git moves up six places to 14th. He will be glad for the three and a half years rest. Chris realised just too late that he forgot to post his predictions - bad luck Chris, I think the quick turn round from the semis to the final caught a few people out but he falls a big 12 places from 3rd - what could have been! VP jumps a huge 10 places to 16th, while Jeroen beats that by jumping 11 places to 17th. Big moves but too little too late for both. Prediction league brother Pompers climbs a decent five places, while Constantine drops the same number going the other way. The Legend drops nine places due to a poor bonus score and I drop four places for the same reason. Orzelek drops four to 22nd, while poor old Oriole, a member of our Hall of Fame drops a huge 15 places as he failed to enter. Av3ry is our final scorer and he rises three to finish in 26th place. We had a few more DNEs this round although most of them picked up some pre-tournament bonuses which made minor changes in their positions. Well, that's it for another three and half years - thank you so much to all who entered. Very well done to our winner, Whoopy D, our top three and our top 10. Player Final Bonuses Total +/- 1.
