Leicester Predictions League Cup Round 2

[Joe_Fox]

The remaining teams in the LPLC are:

@MUSSWELL_FOX
@jb5000
@Joe_Fox
@Blaarev
@fox58

As in LPLC Round 1, the scoring system is the same as LPL.

Should Leicester win, the top half of the LPLC table will progress to the next round, the bottom half will be knocked out.

As it's likely that there will be some duplicate predictions, there is a tie breaking system, as described below:

As well as predicting the score after normal time, predict the following:

1. Total number of corners (both teams) in the match during normal time.
2. Minute of first goal scored in the match (by either team) during normal time.
3. Total number of cards (both teams) in the match during normal time (yellow and red).

*Normal time means the 90 minutes plus any added time. It does not include extra time or penalty shoot outs.

The difference between your predictions and reality of all three tie breakers will be added together with the lowest score progressing to the next round (if they are in the top half of the table after tie breaking calculations have been factored in).

If the result is 0-0 then we will have our LPLC champion immediately after the Luton Town Caraboa Cup match.

Whoever posts their predictions on this thread first gets exclusivity of those predictions. Anyone posting the exact same (4) predictions will not be entered into the competition.

Any entries that are incomplete will not be entered in to the competition.

Best of luck to the five remaining teams.

Get predicting!

Here is the final table after LPLC round two. Despite arguably the best scoreline prediction, Joe_Fox is out of the cup. fox58 fails to capitalise on his fortunate progress to round 2, missing the cut off, finishing bottom of the table, and with that, exiting the competition.

Round 3 will be final contested by three heavyweights in prediction competitions: Blaarev, jb5000 and MUSSWELL_FOX. Should be a cracker of a round.

Position	Team	Points	Tie breaker score
1​	Blaarev	1​	7​
2​	jb5000	1​	10​
3​	MUSSWELL_FOX	1​	14​
4​	Joe_Fox	1​	19​
5​	fox58	0​	N/A​

I do take matters of time zone issues very seriously, @fox58 - where on holiday are you? If you are in Cornwall or something like that then I salute you, nice try. If you are overseas, let me know where so that I can confirm whether your prediction was qualifying in nature or not.

Presuming you are in the BST time zone, I will refer this to the talkingballs.uk webmaster. @Jeff - can I ask you for a ruling here? The data available to me shows fox58 posting his prediction at 07.56 AM on 25/09/19. This is in the AEST time zone. Factoring in the current nine hour time difference between AEST and BST, I calculate this to be 10.56 PM on 24/09/19 (BST), way after the cut off.

It was a clear hour after the game finished. And still wrong.

All the data I have aligns to this, however, I've been stung before by having bad data (#AmericanSamoaGate). I'd like to ask @fox58 whether he wishes to pursue his complaint, or confess to being a cheeky cheetah right now and come clean, allowing us all to move on. @fox58, what's your response?

 

[Blaarev]

fox58 is taking the time zone piss.

 

[fox58]

I’m in Ardnamurchan must be a delay in the 4G

Perhaps he wasn't the only one to fall asleep before the end.
