    You've gone early with these @Tomohawk!

    Three weeks to think about things, but I can guarantee whoever I pick as my joker will contrive to miss chance after chance in increasingly comedic fashion, and my NTS will morph into 1970s Brazil.

    If those are the 10 teams you think will score the most goals out of the fixtures in the opening post of the thread, then they are the 'right' ones to list. You are missing one thing though - you also need to give one team who you think are the most likely to fail to score at all. Who's gonna get nowt out of their weekend? Add that to your post and you're sorted.

    :cheers:

    You also need to highlight in bold the team you think will score most, and their score will be doubled.

    Just curious, do you get tagged as a reminder for the next game? or do you have to just keep checking yourself for the next round?

    Welcome to the game :)
    As @StretfordEnd says I usually aim to tag those who've not made their selections some time during Friday evening (this can sometimes differ depending on my weekend plans) and if I have a particular amount of time on my hands, you may even get a final call at some point on Saturday morning :D

    I'm still hoping to see a few new faces join us for this season.

    With a prize for the winner of choosing one person to block forever on this forum, including admin and mods, why wouldn't you join in?*

    * This might not be true, but it is worth a punt just in case it is

    There will be high level meetings going on at FF Towers tonight - it'll be along the lines of "he's gone rogue but we need him to run GOS!" It'll be similar to that start of the Mike Bassett movie when the FA are sat around that table figuring out who they can approach to become England manager and realising none of the suitable applicants are available ;) :D
