I got such a fright at the end that I actually dived over the seats in front of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, in case I haven't mentioned, I was runner up, a wee while ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps @Aim Here can enlighten us, if his excel skills are warmed up, is this a poor year for predictions? Not particularly. The numbers are only marginally lower than this point last year, and a fair amount more, in absolute terms, than 2020 and 2021, but that's because there were more players, and hence more picks, in the last couple of years. It wouldn't be out of the question for this to be a record-breaking year, in fact. Year Hits to 16th Oct Total Picks Hit rate (%) Total per year Hit rate (%) 2020 47 520 9.04 65 12.50 2021 43 578 7.44 60 10.38 2022 58 671 8.64 70 10.43 2023 56 687 8.15 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong contender for "Most improved player" at the end of year awards if there were any, these should really be a thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
