MINI-LEAGUES
The following guidelines explain how to use the site. If, having read them, you have any unanswered questions, please contact us.
ADD TIPS
Use the fixtures page to view forthcoming games. For each match, decide what you think will be the result. When the match has been played, you will receive points according to the following rules:
* 1 point for the correct outcome (e.g. a win)
* Having predicted the correct outcome, a further 1 point for each correct team score
Example
Arsenal v Man Utd.
Your tip 2-0
Actual result 2-1
1 point for the correct outcome
+ 1 point for Arsenal's correct score
You can choose which matches you tip for. Either tip all premiership matches, or select just one team's games to play. You can change your current setting at any time via the preferences page.
Please note that tips must be placed at least 10 minutes before each fixture.
VIEW TABLES
You can track your progress in three different types of table, all available from the tables page.
Pundits League - the overall Pundits League shows all players tipping for all matches. It shows the players closest to you by default; you can also view any part of the table.
Your Team League - just want to tip one team? Interested in your score for one team's matches, and how other players compare? Nominate a team and view your progress here.
You can invite other players to join you in your own mini-league. This allows you to directly compete against friends, family, or colleagues. Find out who's makin' it and who's fakin' it!
BONUS MATCHES
Throughout the season, certain matches will be marked as Bonus matches. Tips on these matches will be worth more than regular tips so you may gain double, or even treble the amount of normal points - great for catching up!
(Bonus matches will be highlighted on the fixtures page.)
RANDOM TIPS
Predicting every premier league result for a season can seem a daunting task but, not to fear: help is at hand! By selecting 'Randomly generate tips' from your preferences page, you will have tips automatically generated for you for any matches you miss.
There is one standout fixture this weekend in the Premiership, as Everton host Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Saturday lunchtime. It is worth double points on Premier Pundits, so think before you tip!
At 3pm, Aston Villa will hope to put their midweek defeat to QPR behind them, at home to Sunderland. Fulham and West Ham meet at Craven Cottage, and both will be looking to put their cup defeats to Championship sides behind them. There are easy points for pundits as Manchester United host Bolton and Chelsea visit Stoke. Less predictable perhaps will be Middlesbrough v West Brom and Newcastle v Blackburn. The latter in particular is difficult to pick as Blackburn are not in form and surely something has to go right for Newcastle soon?!
The late game on Saturday will surely see Arsenal batter Hull at the Emirates. It's been a great start to the season for the new boys, but a footballing lesson is on the cards here. On Sunday, Portsmouth host Spurs at 1:30pm, with both teams focussed on the UEFA Cup next week this could be a stale affair. Finally, at 4pm, it's Wigan v Manchester City. City had started to believe their own hype until they were embarrassed by Brighton midweek. Meanwhile, Wigan are quietly coming into form and will fancy this, but which way will it go?
