lookersstandandy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 What happens if the actual game is settled by penalties? Should there also be a HT, FT and AET score prediction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should there also be a HT, FT and AET score prediction? There will be HT and FT predictions as in the semis. As for AET, this is built into the rules: "In the event of a draw in the final, the winner will be determined by the closest attendance prediction, then by total points scored in the playoffs, then by previous attendance predictions if still level."

lookersstandandy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Not long now before the richest game in Predicting...... here - according to Ian Holloway - are the 5 things you need to consider if you want to win: 1) Manage your emotions The play-offs have given me the best and worst feelings in the world - dealing with those emotions is the absolute key to achieving success in this format. You mustn't Predict what you want the outcome to be, but what you think it will be will be. 2) Don't tense up Whoever plays how they normally do will come out on top. Rather than getting caught up in the occasion and making a wild Prediction, it's key to stay on task, realise what got you here in the first place and do all the basics right. 3) Mind games You can get this wrong, massively, just ask 24hours. As a manager, you've got to be really careful what you say and do in the build-up and on the day. No one will want to come across as nervous because that's something the opposition can feed off. It's all part of it. It does help to put a bit of pressure on the opposition when you show you're relaxed with your early Prediction. 4) A little bit of magic You must have someone who can do something a bit special, like Charlie Adam did for me at Blackpool with a stunning free-kick against Cardiff. You need your big-game players to show up and do something magical. Someone who has been influential throughout the season has to deliver on the big stage otherwise your job becomes much harder. I've seen so many good players freeze on the day and not get into the game. 5) Preparation The build-up to a play-off game is wonderful. Everyone around the place is smiling in the sunshine and wishing you luck. However, it's crucial to get everything planned down to a tee immediately after the semi-final. Study the team's message boards for hints on tickets sold, injuries and possible manager tactics. Look at the result of the 2 league games between the teams.
