We are back with Round 2 of the Cage Prediction League! We have 8 games to predict this month, 4 league and 4 cup (listed below).
The rules are simple, predict the league/cup points we will pick up and the number of goals scored by the Panthers. Winner is whoever gets closest to our total points tally, with goals scored acting as a tie breaker. We will also track across the season how far we are all out cumulatively to find out who is the undisputed Cage Nostradamus!
This Months Fixtures
League:
Stars (H) - 4 goals, 2 points
Blaze (A) - Postponed!!!!!!
Clan (H) - 2 goals, 0 points
Flyers (H) - 2 goals, 0 points
Cup:
Storm (H) - 5 goals, 2 points
Steelers (H) - 1 goal, 0 points
Storm (A) - 3 goals, 0 points
Steelers (A) - 5 goals, 2 points
All I need from you are:
x League Points
x Cup Points
xx Goals scored by the Panthers
Good Luck!

Shockingly optimistic, but I like the look of our league games, plus 3 of them come at the end of the month so fingers crossed we have bodies back plus some replacements.
7 League Points
5 Cup points
31 Goals scored by the Panthers

Presumably the +/- on the point/goal differences don't really matter Kiev? Won't be able to get back to zero by over predicting etc if you're currently under etc?

6 points in each, 28 goals.
May be a tad optimistic, but I’m giddy with success… 😂

I'll have to think about how to incorporate you into the season standings, but it's all just a bit of fun. Base the overall standings on average points and goals out, rather than a cumulative total? So I'm currently 1 point and 5 goals out, when I'm spot on for November (ahem) my average would go to 0.5 points out and 2.5 goals etc? Allows for late joiners and the odd missed prediction. |

I’m in the bottom half but expect to be an ‘Arsenal’ by end of year. |

See if i can do better... unless we cover some of these injuries suspect things might get a little dicey so my predictions are based on panthers failing to sign replacements:
Stars (H) 4-2 win
Blaze (A) 2-3 loss
Clan (H) 4-1 win
Flyers (H) 4-1 win
Cup:
Storm (H) 3-1 win
Steelers (H) 2-4 loss
Storm (A) 4-4 draw OT loss
Steelers (A) 3-4 loss
league 6 points 14 goals
cup 3 points 12 goals
total 9 points 26 goals

Calling Pidge and Iggy! The chance to make an actual, black and white, nailed on, unequivocal prediction, where the results can be later compared objectively to the actual prediction. Thought they'd be well up for this. Seems not.  |

Added predictions to the OP, there is still time if you want in. Entries will be allowed up until puck drop.
I have also updated the 'Wisdom of the Cage' totals, we look VERY optimistic this month. 3 think we will pick up 100% of league points and even our most pessimistic prediction thinks we'll get at least 50% of the points on offer.

My 25 goals prediction looking like a possible lottery win at the moment mid Sunday CC game in Manchester.
Squad needs something doing about it at the moment.

Well this could get messy, the Coventry game next week would seem to be very much at risk after an ice plant failure, which would make the predictions problematic. I will monitor the situation, but I may need to ask for some adjustments to predictions if the game is postponed.
