Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW12
Welcome to Barry and Paul’s Predictions GW12. We are sure you all remember the infamous Potty’s Predictions. Well, it’s back, sort of! Same skin, new hosts. Think Countdown and Carol Vorderman. And Rachel Riley. Did we lose you for a minute there?! Get your minds back out of the gutter and back on the Chuckle Brothers. That ought to do it. So, who the heck are Barry and Paul we hear you ask? It’s simply what we affectionately refer to regular site writers Matt and Rosco as behind the scenes. And so it was only fitting that the hapless duo combined to fill the sizeable shoes of Potty to bring you the new weekly Predictions Comp. There will be prizes too. Each weekly winner will be the proud recipient of an FF247 t-shirt. So without further ado, here’s from us to them, to explain more…
Hello and welcome folks!
We’ll dive straight into the scoring and rules for the competition which could not be simpler!
Each week, we’ll add the fixtures for the upcoming Game week to the end of our article. Simply cut and paste the fixtures into a comment box, add your predicted scores for each match, and tell us who you think
will score the first goal of the game week. You’ll then score points for every correct prediction
you make, the scoring will be as follows:
Correct Score = 3pts
Correct Result = 1 pt
Correct First Goalscorer = 5pts
The rules are few; 1 entry per person, and all entries must be submitted prior to the first game
of the game week. Once all games have been played, we’ll count up the scores and the winner(s)
will be announced in the following weeks competition article.
Here are the fixtures, best of luck to you all!
Arsenal v Tottenham
Bournemouth v Huddersfield
Burnley v Swansea
Crystal Palace v Everton
Leicester v Man City

Hey Smash, if the Arse/Spurs game produces goals, as per your 2-2, the first goalscorer of the gw must come from this game. Its the early kick-off game.
inittowinit
No it doesn’t! Not necessarily anyway. If he’s hedging his bets then Morata is fine.
Probably a learning for the chucklers next week to stick the times on somewhere though.
Matt
Yeah, next week we will make sure the earliest kick off has an asterisk or something to tell people which one is first.
Smash10
Ha ha yeah it does . Better change it to Sanchez
Mitro

Mitro
Evening
Just looked at my team and I think I may have a few problems, what should I be doing?
1FT & 0.7 ITB
inittowinit
Time to finally sell Chica! He’s out for 2 weeks at least apparently.
Mitro
Ok, you know what I have to do if I want in Morata, should I just go for it?
Mitro
-8?
inittowinit
Hold up Chief, what’s the plan?!
You’re on the wrong bloody article again you know
Mitro
I post where I want…..
Mitro
Trippier to Mee
Silva to Grob
Chicaratio to Morata
inittowinit
Sterling or Silva? Can you not do it in a move less at all?
TheDreamers
Hey Mitro
Silva to Fernandinho and Chic to Morata gets you there in two.
Smash10
Think I like what dreamers has just suggested
Mitro
That does work! I can deal with tripper next week
Mitro
Team would look like this
Smash10
Take a hit
Mitro
Standard 😉
Smash10
Might be a double then
Neilos
Evening gang. So I used my ft for cedric to Mee! Have 1.1 itb. I was contemplating either otamendi to azpilcueta or Ritchie to Richarlison for a minus 4! What do you guys think?
Smash10
I think I’d do the Richarlson move personally. Difficult to justify the hit. Don’t like the other move
Neilos
Cheers Smash. Ritchie I’ve had since the start but Richarlison is too good to ignore….worth the hit!?
Smash10
Yeah I’d go for it anyway if it was me. Just really like Richarlson might even pay off this week as well
Neilos
Cheers Smash! You all set this weekend!?
Smash10
Can’t decide on the captain and waiting on Aguero but think I’ll save transfer
Neilos
Hard one on the cappo. I’m going to risk it on Morata! Who else you got upfront!?
Smash10
Aguero, Kane and Morata. Salah the other option
Matt
I’d do Ritchie to Richardlison.
Matt
Cheers for all your predictions they are being recorded so don’t worry if we don’t comment on every single comment!
Smash10
Oh good because I can’t remember already
TheDreamers
Hey lads, here are my choice.
Arsenal v Tottenham 1-2
Bournemouth v Huddersfield 2-0
Burnley v Swansea 1-0
Crystal Palace v Everton 1-2
Leicester v Man City 0-3
Liverpool v Southampton 2-0
West Brom v Chelsea 0-2
Man United v Newcastle 2-0
Watford v West Ham 2-1
Brighton v Stoke 1-1
First Scorer – Morata
Matt
Dreamers the first game of the week is Spurs and Arsenal so you will need to pick one of them to be your first goal scorer. I’ll make it clearer next week.
inittowinit
No he doesn’t! Read the rules :rant:
Matt
I know and they are wrong!! So next week I’ll make it clearer :big-lol:
inittowinit
“tell us who you think
will score the first goal of the game week” 😉
Matt
He also says 1-2 in the first game of the week so obviously someone has to score them goals!! 😉
inittowinit
No they don’t! FFS! It’s an independent result. Where’s Rosco….
Matt
I’ll let Rosco decide
inittowinit
THERE’S NOTHING TO DECIDE! IF MORATA SCORES THE FIRST GOAL OF THE GW DREAMERS GETS 10 PTS. END OF.
Look what you’ve done, you’ve made me shout 😉
Elleffcee
FFS, us lot should get together and write a comedy about all of us for tv. It’d be hilarious.
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
I love the fact that this is in the article above.
“We’ll dive straight into the scoring and rules for the competition which could not be simpler!”
TheDreamers
That would make sense….
Skim read – tbh, didnt realise there was an early game. Lets go Eriksen (the fucker) to score again
Matt
Init shouting for no reason! Eriksen it is. Thank you Dreamers much more civil than the Chicken 😉
Elleffcee
1st goalscorer of the 3pm kick-offs, as of next week ? :thumbup:
Matt
I suggested that but it then doesn’t work for mid week games over Xmas so we decided on first game of weekend. It just didn’t come across like that this week haha
inittowinit
No! Just 1st goal scorer of the week. Doesn’t matter what you predict for the first game. It can still be 0-0 even if you said 7-7. And then the first scorer could be any time after that. Capiche?
inittowinit
Matt, it works for any GW the same.

The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I would just like to point out that even any amount of goals in the first game will not count if they are own goals.
So it could be 1-1 with a Rose OG and a Mertesacker OG and we’re still on to the 3pms for the first goal.
As you were.
inittowinit
Doesn’t say that in the rules GP
The Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
100 points then if you predict the first own goal scorer!
Mr Bean
I called Koscielny own goal as the first goal this weekend so gonna need the rules confirmed so I know if I have to change that guess…
