Names in the envelopes

[rurikbird]

Let's play a game! Inspired by Brendan's infamous "3 envelopes." Pick 5 LFC players who you think will not be here by September of next year ("not being here" is defined as being sold or loaned out). For each correct pick of a senior squad member (someone currently in the first team squad and not on loan) you get 3 points. If a player is currently on loan you get 2 points. For U21 squad players it's 1 point, whether they are in the squad or on loan. Whoever gets more correct guesses wins.

My pick:

Enrique (3 points if correct)
Balotelli (2)
Lucas (3)
Lovren (3)
Wisdom (2)

We might have to share the prize

 

[gene hughes]

We might have to share the prize

Wow!!! That's insane! What are the odds?

 

[rurikbird]

Or I can just introduce the rule that you can't copy somebody else's team

 

[gene hughes]

It's a bit late for that now.

My suggestion is that if we both win then we have a tie-breaker which awards victory to the person who presented them in the order they departed the club.

Based on that my order is as follows:

Balotelli
Wisdom
Enrique
Lucas
Lovren

Remember. No copying.

 

[Hyena]

Coutinho
Balotelli
Lallana
Texeira
Ibe

 

[StevieM]

Balotelli
Enrique
Toure
Wisdom
Texeira

 

[Modo]

Should have minus points for being wrong.

 

[Glock21]

Lucas
Lucas
Lucas
Lucas
Lucas

There you go, 15 points max. Close thread.

Wow. So no copy or is it a bit late for that now?

Good news, Gene - the prize is a horse.

 

[rurikbird]

Yeah, let's do the "no copy" rule (except Gene who jumped in before the rule was introduced). Maybe it's a bit unfair to latecomers, but it should motivate people to post their picks before somebody else does

 

[rurikbird]

Should have minus points for being wrong.

That could be an option. Minus how many points, you think?

 

[Modo]

That could be an option. Minus how many points, you think?

I dunno, maybe -1 or the same amount of plus points. Would introduce some risk.

 

[737Max]

Mingolet
Balotelli
Lucas
Enrique
Lallana

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Can we have a non player pick? I'd have Ian Ayre straight in there along with Michael Edwards.

1. Balotelli
2. Lovern
3. Lallana
4. Mignolet
5. Toure

 

[rurikbird]

Oh, I should have chosen Toure, he is pretty certain not to be here next year, at least as a player.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Oh, I should have chosen Toure, he is pretty certain not to be here next year, at least as a player.

Aye, along with the others I posted.

 

[cloggypop]

I'll have the same as rurikbird and Gene Hughes but with Kolo instead of Lovren. Ta.

 

[dantes]

Toure
Enrique
Lucas
Rossiter
Lovren

 

[WhyAlwaysMe?]

Kolo
Lallana
Lucas
Mignolet
Allen

 

[momoWASboss]

Should you be allowed to pick a player who is out of contract at tbe end of the season who the club tried to sell last summer?

 

[rurikbird]

Sure, why not. You still have to get the other 4 right

Ok, let's do that. One point will be deducted for each incorrect guess.
