Here are the opening round results of the 5th season of The Lone Ranger
The opening match is a tricky round as there is no form to go off and only Championship fixtures to pick from and we've already had some players losing lives! It should become easier as the league tables shape up and more fixtures are available from next week... but as the weeks go by your selection pool of teams reduces!
Remember you can only select a team once in the season. The new format of Team Log for 2023/24 is now online and will be updated after each round. It now makes it much easier to see which teams you have already selected and which teams you still have available.
We have a record number of players which is fantastic to see, thanks to everybody for taking part!
As a reminder the results for The Lone Ranger have to wait for all fixtures of selected teams to be concluded so won't always be posted as promptly as the Prediction League results.
Everybody starts with 10 lives and the league table once again shows your form, with RED for a defeat (-2 lives), YELLOW for a draw (-1 life) and GREEN for a win (+0.5 lives). The emphasis is on finding a winning team.
On with the results...
It's safe to say it was a mixed bag!
Watford were of course a popular pick which meant 9 players won with them, including MCM Hoop on his 100th consecutive entry, an incredible achievement to make it through 3 consecutive seasons and into a 4th without being knocked out.
The other popular pick was 6 players going for Leeds, which included 2 debutants absolutecaulker and wuggywoody , but they drew with Cardiff. daveb and woodork also drew with Bristol City.
We did have other winners - LurkR and qprfcfromwhitecity won with Leicester, kingfisher won with Stoke and Ricardo Rangers with Plymouth... who inflicted a defeat on reigning champion CutePR's pick of Huddersfield! CutePR set a new record losing just 4 games out of 33 last season but starts this season on the back foot.
Our other debutant moldyhoop lost with Middlesbrough along with kensalr and stoatey whilst QPRBex went red no thanks to Sunderland
But remember twice before the eventual champion lost in Round 1 so don't be disheartened if you've lost lives in this round!
