Season 8 Predictions Thread

[DaigaroOgami]

Ha, and Percy not only predicted all the correct match outcomes; but also got the score right twice. New record for him. Well done.

[Red Lion Three]

Well done indeed!

Yes, if you could send over the large picture of Percy I'll give it a go. Can you PM it, or do you need an e-mail address?

That's the jpg of Percy's face. Open at your own risk frankly.

[Red Lion Three]

Thanks Rav. Did you draw it yourself??

I'll try and get Percy through the costume-and-make-up department (Illustrator) during the week. Assuming that all goes to plan, he'll then be ready for whenever his voice coach can spare a few minutes to walk him through his lines :-D

[Gandalf]

Meanwhile, back on topic....

Prediction spreadsheet is up:

I'm adding in 2 extra features this year.
Bonus point if you get all 5 predictions in a week correct (for the cup, bonus point if you get all 7 right). Well done Percy, most impressive.
Minus 2 for coaches who put ridiculous pre-season expectations on Team Shrek. Ha.

This week...
Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> Statistically the match I am most likely to win, so I'll go for the ogres.
Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! -> poor warewolves! Fables go into mourning and the dark elfs win.
The Mastercheesers vs MarS Spiders -> Skaven, because Skaven
The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz -> too large of a gulf in class in the teams here. Orcs to win. Can RL3 bring his team through relatively unscathed?
One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick -> an interesting matchup this one. I can't decide. Draw.

Find it hard to disagree with any of them, but I'll try:

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> The Dummies will probably have a good chance with a ton of inducements if they're well spent. Really though it's going to be unpredictable carnage. Draw.
Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! -> Yep. Elves.
The Mastercheesers vs MarS Spiders -> I'm going to back myself to do better than in pre-season, but if I was actually betting money I'd say draw. Skaven.
The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz -> A well developed orc team with a TacklePOMBer against an undeveloped lower tier semi-stunty team. There's gonna be dead gobbos. Orcs.
One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick -> I want to say a draw too, because Moose and his Undead are a pretty solid combination, but I expect Idan's attacking flair to extend his winning run to... one more than it is right now. Lizards.

[DaigaroOgami]

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> Can't really see past goblin murder and a cheating Ogre... Dead snotlings too though; 18/20 match rating. OGRES 2-1

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! -> Hmmm... Elves will do well, but the sneaky fleabags will sneak a late one.. DRAW 2-2

The MasturBaters vs MarS Spiders -> La will bemoan how unfortunate his is to have a level 8 Gutterlicker and two horribly cheatingly levelled up StormVermins, and the Bowies will fall for it. Masturbaters 4-2

The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz -> Fresh, unmutated gobbos... underdeveloped rats... AV7? Gerty's looking forward to this, and IbrahimavOrc is looking forward to a chance to impress PirlOrc. So, expect the Orcs to bugger it up and not injure anyone. DRAW 1-1

One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick -> Moose is good with them Undead; and the Mummies are horrid. But, Idan's lot are coming on, and Idan has welcome-back-to-BloodBowl Fever. One-durrs win 3-1

Wait, haven't you got the highest level players in the league?

Hang on... hang on...

OH! YES! Players 1, 2, 4 and 5 on the highest SPP in the league table.

You massive bumberklaart.

Number 3 is Fairy Godmother.

[DaigaroOgami]

Long service medals, klaart, from 30-odd more games.

And none of them have Claw.

[DaigaroOgami]

Er, according to that link IbrahimavOrc is a FORMER player? is he?

I don't think I sacked him.

[DaigaroOgami]

Yup, totally didn't sack him.

BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG BUG

[lawastooshort]

No Gandalf's probably just made it predictive cos you're gonna have to sack him after he faces the wrath of the shamegoblins.

[Idanmel]

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> Shrek 2-0
Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! -> I believe ChooChoopra was a Canguru... That poor lad... I can't vote against him. Draw. 1-1
The Mastercheesers vs MarS Spiders -> Skave. 4-2
The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz -> With team value difference of almost 900, I go for the Ducklings. 2-1
One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick -> The Boomsticks have 2 guarding mummies while all my Saurii are still lvl1... I'll go for a draw. 1-1.

[Red Lion Three]

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek -> Given the, er, "2 point deduction for a vote of confidence for the prediction league commish's team": Either Shrek 38-0, or Punch Dummies 3-0. No compromises. I'm counting on you Abom. :-P

Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! -> Fables 2-1

The Mastercheesers vs MarS Spiders -> Skave. 2-0

The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz -> An extremely unlikely 2-1 to the Nermal; Morg and Dribblesnot do nothing, while roaming bands of goblins injury every black orc. La to yet again rekindle his love of Underworld.

One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick -> Boomstick 2-1

[Raveen]

Punch Dummies vs Team Shrek - Calling this for the goblins - 2-1 - Mayhem
Bad For Thy Elf? vs Fables! - 2-0 to the Delves
The Mastercheesers vs MarS Spiders - Same result as the pre-season friendly 3-3
The Nermal Distribution vs Orkly Ducklingz - Gertie is too busy getting it on with Coach Daigoro to pay attention the the game but the Orcs still win 1-0
One Hit Wonderz vs A Fistful of Boomstick - The strength of the Lizards is brought to bear assuming the Krox actually plays this game. 2-1 to the Onederz.
