Predictions 2016-2017 (Round 21)

In the last two round, I picked 10 out of 20 correctly with 1 correct score for 130 points.   Mark Lawrenson predicted 12 out of 20 correctly with 3 correct scores for 210 points.  Paul Merson predicted 12 out of 19 correctly with 3 correct scores for 150 points.

For the season I have picked 89 out of 200 correctly with 18 correct scores for 1430 points. Lawrenson picked 114 out of 200 correctly with 24 correct scores for 1860 points.  Merson has picked 117 out of 199 correctly with 23 correct scores for 1860 points.

It seems pretty clear that—notwithstanding the 2014-15 season--the expert’s predictions are better than my simple system of predicting EPL results.  Nevertheless I will finish out the season because it is not fair to quit when I am behind.

Merson’s and Lawrenson’s new predictions can be found here and here.
