Welcome all, new and old, to the 2022-23 DS Premier League Prediction competition, running for the 17th consecutive season no less 
😎
For those that haven’t played before, the rules are fairly simple: Simply guess the scoreline of every single match over the entire 38 match season. For every successful prediction, points will be awarded thus:
Correct result: i.e you pick the right winner of a match, or successfully select a draw: 2 points
Ditto but achieving the correct SCORELINE too: 5 points
Ditto last but in a game with four or more goals: 7 points
Also, if you are the only player to correctly predict a result / scoreline, your points for that fixture will be doubled.
The only other rule is you may only select identical scorelines in four of the ten matches each week. NB: Going for a (e.g) 2-1 home win does not constitute an identical prediction to a 2-1 away win.
Oh, and in the unlikely event you get all ten results right, you will receive a bonus 10 points.
If you miss a week, don’t worry too much, as only your best 35 of 38 weekly scores will ultimately count. It also gives you room for the occasional stinker.
These points are then fed in a table, just like the PL (well, sort of), and at the end of the season the player with the most points is the winner.
If like the other year DS is down for a long period and we get less than 50% predictions in, the week will be void.
No timewasters please as it takes a lot of time calculating the scores and doing the tables. Only enter if you're prepared to stick with it all season. Cheers.
Any queries please either raise them on the thread or PM me / Dimble Burbleby. Good luck!

We’ve had a few 10/10’s down the years mate. Or did you mean record score for one round?
I believe I got the highest score for one week in 2018, but I'm not sure if it has been beaten since then.
The 10 out of 10 in a single round has happened 20 times, involving 17 different players
dean michael is the only player to have ever claimed 10 out of 10 three times, while ianp1970 is the only other player to manage it twice.
Both dean michael and ianp1970 managed 10 out of 10 twice in the same season (weeks 17 and 37 of the 2016-17 season)
Week 17 of the 2016-17 season saw four players claim a 10 out ot 10, with four other rounds having seen two players claim a 10 out of 10
7 of the 20 times that a 10 out of 10 was claimed were in the 2016-17 season - no other season has seen more than 2 players claim points in all 10 matches
9 out 10 has happened 191 times to 86 different players
DimSum has 9 out of 10 on 8 separate occasions, while fatsi and Terrence Chant have managed that 7 times (they are the players with the most 9 out of 10s without ever managing all 10)
11 players have managed 9 out of 10 twice in the same season
There have been 38 occasions where a player has failed to score any points in a round having predicted for all 10 games (cheeks and harry_i_c are the only players to ever suffer that fate twice)
Only two weeks have seen more than 2 players fail to score: week 6 of the 201-11 season had 11 players score nothing, while week 16 of the 2009-10 saw 3 players fail to register any points. Two other weeks saw two players miss out on any points
The most exacts in a round is 6: cheeks managed this week 6 of the 2012-13 season, Big Dipper and Realale in week 37 of the same season and willrelf92 managed this in week 15 of the 2017-18 season
5 exacts in the same round has been done on 30 occasions, with Arthur Pringle and Tokyo both managing that three times, while Larry1971 is the only other player to bag 5 exacts twice.
Arthur Pringle is the only player to claim 5 exacts in a round more than once in a season - all three times he managed it were in a four week spell in the 2009-10 season
The best score from a single round is 49 points set by DDRIckyDD (this included a 10 point bonus for scoring in all 10 macthes)
Five players have managed 39 points from a round (all also included the 10 point bonus)
In total there have 99 occasions where a player has scored at least 30 points in a round (including the 10 point bonus)
including any bonuses, Realale is the only player to manage a weekly score of 30 or more on 5 occaions.
dean michael, DimSum, ianp1970, Partyanimal and Xavier Quebeck have manged four scores of 30 or better each (including bonuses)
The most points in a round excluding the 10 point bonus is also DDRickyDD's total from week 7 of the 2018-19 season (39 points)
10 players have scored at least 35 points not including any 10 point bonus, while there have been another 70 times that a player has scored at least 30 points in a round
dean michael (37 in week 17 of the 2016-17 season and 36 in week 27 of the 2019-20 season) is the only player to ever score more than 35 points in 2 separate rounds (not including ay 10 out of 10 bonus)
Without either the 10 point bonus for scoring in all matches or the double points bonus for being the only player to score, the best weekly score would be 36 points (Big Dipper and Realale would have both managed this is week 37 of the 2012-13 season, while willrelf92 would ahve scored this in week 15 of the 2017-18 season)
familyguy8905 claimed 35 points without any bonuses from week 22 of the 2013-14 season
A score of 30 or more would ahve been achieved on 56 occasions if we did not include any bonuses
DimSum, Realale, Watcher #1 and yakutz would be the only players to score 30+ on three occaions without any bonuses, while cheeks, ianp1970, Katie-Jane, Tokyo and willrelf92 would be the only others to have managed that twice.
