TWTD Prediction League 2014/15 - Ipswich Town News

With the Championship kicking off on Saturday, it’s time to register for the TWTD Prediction League 2014/15. There are also several fantasy leagues being run by TWTD Message Boarders.

The Prediction League — which doesn’t include cup matches — is essentially the same competition we’ve been running since August 2000. You predict the score and first scorer of each match and you get points based on your accuracy.

You get three points if you get the scoreline spot on, plus a bonus of the number of goals in that game (so an accurate prediction of 1-3 would get you three points and a bonus of four).

If you don’t get the score right but correctly guess that it will be an away win, for example, you’ll be awarded one point. You get two points for predicting the correct first Town scorer.

The overall winner of the competition will receive £150 of Amazon vouchers. Last year’s winner was Mark, congratulations to him.

To get started, go to our Prediction League page and enter your predictions for Saturday's game at home to Fulham.

You can make any number of predictions for a match, but only the last one will count. So, if Mick McCarthy suddenly decides to sign a potential 35-goals-a-season striker tomorrow, just log in and change your prediction.

Meanwhile, a number of free fantasy football leagues have been set up by Message Boarders and will be running throughout the season. You can join one based on the Football League via the details here and another here, while you can join two Premier League-based set-ups here and here.
