EPL Standings Contest

I am sure at some point, I can figure out how to do the formulas for everyone picking the standings. Someone else has run this for some time and we lost it last year.

Rules for the game are easy, order the list below from top to bottom as your projected finishing order for the English Premier League. Scoring will be the difference from actual to your projected for each team divided by 2. Use the exact wordings of the team names below

Adjusted to get abbreviations, but BHA is listed 2x so I’m taking a guess on Wolverhampton Wanderers.

I think Kid Rock wants you to use the three-letter abbreviation.

I want the wife and kids to quit deciding on new things for the house while I’m away at work, and I’m not getting … my …

Yeah, I changed them over. See comment at the bottom.

Thanks on Wolves, not sure what happened there. List at top corrected.

If you want to revise your entry, please just repost it rather than edit going forward. Ted’s has one edit right now, so will take that. I’m OK with the changes for a final entry so if Martial gets sent to Italy and you want to raise where MNU is, feel free to do in a new post.

Note: I only had an edit to put abbreviations in. I didn’t have an actual change in the order.

But I’m tempted to do like 27 changes because now I can. I need to hire kids for dirt cheap labor for this, though.

Unless your picks are the alphabetical order (currently the official table on EPL web site), this is all wrong.

You’re a smart lad, I’m sure you can figure out the rankings.

So we are at 9 + 538. Let’s get a 10th going here. Where’s Cooke? Too bad no vividox or wat?
