How it works

Enter a score for each upcoming Premier League fixture. Your predictions save automatically and can be changed until the match kicks off.

Scoring

• 5 points for the exact score
• 3 points for the correct result: home win, draw or away win
• 0 points when the result is incorrect

Beat the bots

Computer-controlled players keep every table competitive and give you five different challenges. They are clearly identified by a SIM label. The lower the number, the stronger the prediction method. Can you finish above the best bots?

• SIM1 — ExpertUses recent and prior-season results, home and away attack and defence, and pre-match odds where available. Chooses scores with the highest expected competition points.Meet the 5 bots ↓

  

  Macca

  Elite Oracle · SIM1

  Macca treats expected goals like sacred scripture and has already drafted the victory speech. Confidence level: somewhere between elite analyst and unbearable pub pundit.

  

  MagicBoots

  Elite Oracle · SIM1

  MagicBoots believes every fixture can be solved with enough data and one dramatic eyebrow raise. The numbers are good; the humility is offline.

  

  Nutmeg

  Elite Oracle · SIM1

  Nutmeg measures momentum, home advantage and finishing trends. Modesty was tested in beta and removed for slowing the system down.

  

  TheCat

  Elite Oracle · SIM1

  TheCat calls every prediction 'the obvious one'—after three models, six filters and a suspiciously intense stare at the league table.

  

  TopBins

  Elite Oracle · SIM1

  TopBins is calm, clinical and absolutely certain the algorithm is cleverer than everybody in your group chat. Annoyingly, it often is.

• SIM2 — StrongUses the probability model, with more variation than SIM1 and a strong preference for likely results.Meet the 5 bots ↓

  

  CaptainCrumpet

  Form Expert · SIM2

  CaptainCrumpet is methodical, competitive and convinced captains should be allowed to submit predictions on behalf of the entire household.

  

  DaveFromAccounts

  Form Expert · SIM2

  DaveFromAccounts files every fixture under profit, loss or 'VAR-related accounting discrepancy'. The forecasts are sharp; the banter is tax deductible.

  

  GrumpyBadger

  Form Expert · SIM2

  GrumpyBadger reads recent results properly, keeps the risk sensible and only says 'I told you so' on days ending in y.

  

  SneakyFerret

  Form Expert · SIM2

  SneakyFerret is quick, watchful and slightly too pleased when a clever away pick comes off. Nobody has yet found the prediction stash.

  

  TeaAndBiscuits

  Form Expert · SIM2

  TeaAndBiscuits combines sound analysis with strong opinions and a mug that has been reheated three times during team-news research.

• SIM3 — StandardMixes the probability model with a wider range of plausible score guesses.Meet the 5 bots ↓

  

  BananaBoots

  Wildcard Analyst · SIM3

  BananaBoots has flashes of brilliance, questionable footwear and a habit of backing one extra goal just to make things interesting.

  

  CaptainChaos

  Wildcard Analyst · SIM3

  CaptainChaos begins with statistics and ends wherever the plot twist looks funniest. Predictable only in being unpredictable.

  

  DiscoStu

  Wildcard Analyst · SIM3

  DiscoStu treats every match like a dance floor: some rhythm, some instinct and at least one move the data team did not approve.

  

  MrAverage

  Wildcard Analyst · SIM3

  MrAverage lives near the middle of the model, where reasonable scores flourish and spectacular triumphs remain pleasantly possible.

  

  RandomPenguin

  Wildcard Analyst · SIM3

  RandomPenguin waddles through the numbers, chooses a score and somehow looks dignified even when both teams draw 0–0.

• SIM4 — BasicMakes broad, plausible guesses with only a loose preference for likely results.Meet the 5 bots ↓

  

  DadJokes

  Hunch Merchant · SIM4

  DadJokes brings jokes, guesses and a heroic refusal to let recent evidence ruin a perfectly good punchline.

  

  JustHereForFun

  Hunch Merchant · SIM4

  JustHereForFun is here for the social side, the table banter and the possibility that 4–3 becomes a perfectly normal result.

  

  LuckyDuck

  Hunch Merchant · SIM4

  LuckyDuck backs the hunch, trusts the bounce and keeps a four-leaf clover beside the refresh button.

  

  PubQuizPro

  Hunch Merchant · SIM4

  PubQuizPro has attended enough quizzes to know that confidence can sound exactly like knowledge. Football is apparently round three.

  

  WheresMyKeys

  Hunch Merchant · SIM4

  WheresMyKeys had a detailed plan but cannot remember where it was left. The replacement plan is usually 2–1.

• SIM5 — RandomIgnores club form and odds. Makes random but sensible guesses, favouring common football scores over unlikely high scores.Meet the 5 bots ↓

  

  LateAgain

  Professional Guesser · SIM5

  LateAgain fuels predictions with two sugars and almost no research. If the score feels cosy, it goes in.

  

  NoIdeaMate

  Professional Guesser · SIM5

  NoIdeaMate cannot be hurried, especially by facts. Some selections are made before the fixture list has finished loading.

  

  SleepyHeadJr

  Professional Guesser · SIM5

  SleepyHeadJr learned everything from SleepyHead except the clever bit. Predictions happen between naps, snacks and accidentally pressing 5.

  

  TurboSnail

  Professional Guesser · SIM5

  TurboSnail chooses numbers found down the back of the sofa. Tactical analysis is available for an additional 20p.

  

  WeekendHero

  Professional Guesser · SIM5

  WeekendHero wears the hat, trusts the hat and has never once asked the hat about expected goals.
