France in Focus

A perennial favourite from other French Anglophone forums.
Here we are in a new place and with some new faces by the looks of it, all are welcome whether you know anything about the game or not. Ignorance and/or showing no bias towards one's preferred team can be an advantage.

For those unfamiliar with our league, every week 5 weekend matches are chosen for which you have simply to predict Home Win, Away Win or Draw.

I produce a league table weekly based on % guessed correctly, so if you miss out a week occasionally your scores are not invalidated.
Players take it in turns to choose the games, I ask someone to choose the next matches and if they do not respond or are unavailable I sort it out.

There's no cash (or other) prize for the winner at the end of the season, merely the admiration of their peers.

Robust criticism of teams, referees, VAR and anything else is perfectly acceptable. The ref may well need a white stick and/or a guide dog but please do keep things within reason.

Thanks for that Liz. I had asked and had not noticed your posting.

Some people have joined the predictions game for one or two weekends, then disappeared.
When this happens I am no longer including them in the regular table as it distorts the rankings, but should they wish to join in again I'll happily add them back in, including their old scores.
If anyone else wishes to join us you are most welcome.

And can whoever is picking choose some easy ones to prevent mutual embarrassment.

No, that would mean putting the Canaries in to lose most weeks
