Ok, its back, the Guess the Team and Score Competition for the 2013/14 season commences 2 weeks tonight with a home game against Newcastle.
As before, you name 11 starters (max 22 points) and 7 subs (max 7 points) to give a maximum of 29 for the Guess the Team element.
Additionally you predict first City Scorer by placing an F against his name and the last City scorer by placing an L against his name (eg Aguero F and Negredo L).
Also predict the match result (eg City Win 2-1).
There is one bonus point for each of
First scorer correct
Last scorer correct
Correct outcome (ie win lose or draw)
Correct margin of result (eg predict win 2-0 but win 3-1)
Exact score (eg predict 2-0 win and we win 2-0)
If you get all 5 of the above correct, there are a further 3 bonus points awarded so max for any game is now 37.
For clarity own goals don't count for the scorer market.
As for previous seasons, I will operate in "sessions" of 12 games so that any late entrants are not penalised for the entire season.
In order to be fair to all, I will disallow any entries or edits that come in after the team has been announced so logically you should aim to have your final selections in at least 75 mins prior to kick-off. My decision on this will be final - it is intended to be fun and fair for everyone.
So, if you thought second guessing Mancini was difficult, I suspect Pellegrini will be even harder!!
Good luck all

ps Ric - any chance this one can be a sticky just until first game so that people don't miss it if it slips down the board?
