Freeze: Premier League
Our pre-season warmup (complete with a nice hot mug of glory)
How it works:
Welcome to Freeze: Premier League, the opening tournament of the FMS season. The rules are simple:
- we give you five Premier League teams;
- you guess where they’ll finish.
That’s basically it. The players who guess closest to reality will be in with a shot at winning.
Everyone’s guesses will be shown below, once the deadline has passed.
Your prize: It’s a mug’s game
The winner will bag a bespoke, shiny and exciting FMS Freeze: PL mug for their troubles. It’s not a regular season game, so there are no ranking points to be won, but the winner also finds their way onto our hallowed hall of fame, for eternal Masters Series glory.
Rules in a bit more detail:
You get 20 points for predicting a team in their exact final position, and you lose a point for every wrong place after that (so if you guess Liverpool to be 1st and they end up 3rd, you get 18 instead).
We do the whole thing again at Christmas time, with five new teams and half the points up for grabs (because it’s so much easier..). Then the totals are added up – and our winner is the new Freeze: Premier League Champion
For any ties, the earliest person to predict will come out on top. So you need to balance that against waiting to see whether Ivan Toney stays put, etc.
