Rather than us each predicting who will finish where, let's try this game again to predict - between us - how we think the Championship table will end up....
We set the bar high last season. We didn't get any teams in their exact position but were only 1 place out for a third of the teams and predicted 6 of the top 7! We were a grand total of 96 places out, which averages as exactly 4 places out per team..... let's see how we do this season in comparison!
As an example we will open with the first 3 teams in alphabetical order:
1 Barnsley
2 Birmingham City
3 Blackburn Rovers
If I then had to add Bournemouth, I could place Bournemouth in 1st but also move Barnsley below Birmingham, so after my post it would look like this:
1 Bournemouth
2 Birmingham
3 Barnsley
4 Birmingham
The next player would then add Brentford and moves 1 other team, the next player would add Bristol City and could move 1 other team where they like and so on!
Remember you cannot post again until 5 other members have entered a team so that nobody can start more than 5 teams in total AND please make it clear who you added and moved and why!
Here are the 24 teams in the order of when they will be played:
1 Barnsley
2 Birmingham City
3 Blackburn Rovers
4 Bournemouth
5 Brentford
6 Bristol City
7 Cardiff City
8 Coventry City
9 Derby County
10 Huddersfield Town
11 Luton Town
12 Middlesbrough
13 Millwall
14 Norwich City
15 Nottingham Forest
16 Preston North End
17 Queens Park Rangers
18 Reading
19 Rotherham United
20 Sheffield Wednesday
21 Stoke City
22 Swansea City
23 Watford
24 Wycombe Wanderers
Any questions please ask!

- In alphabetical order (see team list below) we will predict where each team in the league will finish.
- *important* You simply copy the table from the previous post and the basic rule is you add the next team in the list AND move one existing team
- The game will start with Barnsley, Birmingham and Blackburn pre-placed in alphabetical order.
- The first person to reply will place Bournemouth above, somewhere between or below the first 3 teams AND can also make 1 alteration to the existing table, moving another team up or down to where they would place them instead
- You must make your alteration clear in bold or by typing who you added, moved, where and why
- You cannot post two teams in a row
- After the last team (Wycombe) has been entered there will be a final opportunity for TWO people to each move TWO teams and then we will have the final result. They must again state who they moved, where and why.
- At the end we will have a full league table that has been entered and edited by members of the site. It won't be what any one person decided so should be an interesting end result and we can see how wrong we were in 9 months time!
