Mildly Interesting BCFC Related Predictions for 2019/20 Season

[Davefevs]

No, I don’t believe any academy player made their debut for City this season.  Even Wollacott with several spots on the bench, had previously appeared on the bench.

[Mrs Miggins Pie Shop]

Mrs Miggins score is a not humiliating 12 points, and a possible 13 points depending on the outcome of the Matty Taylor question. Surely he’d left before the end of the season.

Superb thread, brilliantly compiled by Nogbad who deserves the highest praise for such ingenuity. 

I’m so delighted that I entered - entirely of my own volition - I’ve been on tenterhooks all season waiting for the results, and naturally I can’t wait to play again. 

[CiderCraig]

So, 17 points if Matty T wasn't a City player, 16 if he was! 

 

*includes bonus point for being early (only thing I've ever been early before in my life ).

Either way, your modesty belies an outstanding effort!

Especially for a 'mildly interesting' first timer.

Plenty of scores still to come in, but you take the lead, and are now a serious contender for new Champion!!

(The usual brutally intense scrutiny of your answers to follow should you finish top, of course. )

'mildly interesting'? 

I'm welling up, such kind words

I shall await death by Otib, should I win!

As it stands after 8 replies:

CiderCraig 17

Dogbert, Nogbad the Bad 15

Lrrr, ExiledAjax 14

handsofclay, Mrs. Miggins Pie Shop 13

Roe 8

I've been told that as the compiler I should 'stop fannying around' and make a final decision on Matty Taylor.

Therefore for the purposes of this competition he'd gone by the final day, as in the original answers.

 

[Septic Peg]

16 with amended Taylor Moore answer and no bonus. 

Sign me up for the next one Noggers!

Zooming straight into 2nd place, nice one Peg!

The new season looms, and MIQ3 will be with you before you know it.

[Roe]

Wait I counted mine completely wrong 

So I got 14 definitely.  15 if we count Taylor as gone, and 16 with a bonus point.

Although I feel like I should be deducted 8 points for struggling to count past a dozen so maybe my original tally of 8 is fair enough

Have another count Roe, I've just counted twice and make your score 16 plus the bonus point.

If confirmed, bottom of the table to joint leader for you!

Stunning predictions there ziderhead!

Take 1 off for no.6. Although Diedhiou scored 14 goals in total, the question specified League goals so the answer is 12.

So looks like 20 points for you, which puts you in the lead.

A lot of entrants still to declare their scores but 20 will take some beating.

The prize?  Along with the glory of being crowned the MIldly Interesting Champion comes the honour of counting up all the scores in the next quiz!!

A dismal 18 - but only 1 out on 4 or 5 answers (no early point)

 

Next year!!

[trickytimes]

Did not take part, but I am intrigued by ExiledAjax answers. He states that Leeds will win the Championship, but wont be promoted automatically. Did he know that something very strange was going to happen that season. Apologies if this has already been noticed.

Still quite a few to announce their scores, but as all entrants have been notified via this thread (and obviously don't feel sharing their scores will affect the result) we'll wrap this up tonight and confirm Ziderheadarmy as this year's winner - unless any higher scores come in inbetween.

[Nogbad the Bad]

Time's up, well done to @ziderheadarmy, the 19/20 Mildly Interesting Champion with a record score of 20 points.

Watch out for a new prediction competition for 20/21 coming up in a few weeks, as the frenzied anticipation of Dean's first season reaches boiling point.
