________________________________________

• I will update the rankings after each round during the season and add the points from the initial 8 questions as they get resolved.
• To enter you need to answer the first 8 questions - please post the first round specific answer in a seperate post
• Whatever you do, do NOT edit your initial post after 1 hour before kickoff on the FIRST match of the first match round
• Make sure you check back before each round to answer the new round specific questions I'm adding. Entries will only be valid up until 1 hour before kickoff on the FIRST match of the round (note that matches during the winter months in eastern Europe often start a couple of hours before regular kickoff).
• That’s all. Enjoy!

Round specific question 1 (I will post 1 of these before each round for the entirety of the 15/16 season. Each one will reward 2 points, with the possibility of doubling up from a correctly answered bonus question):

Spoiler: Remember to answer these questions in seperate posts. Thanks.

Will we see a hattrick in the first round (yes/no)?
Bonus question: If the answer is a yes, who's the scorer?

[Trickykid]

Hey Semi, I just edited number 7. a bit, to better fit your way of answering the question. I hadn't thought of the fact that it's damn hard to rank them, if several nations get the same number of qualified teams. You don't have to change anything though - the only thing changed is the points awarded.

[Trickykid]

Just as you guys already seem to be doing, I'd appreciate if you'd wait until just before match day with posting your answers to the round specific question. This way they won't get too tangled up with the initial entries, and thus much easier to count afterwards.

Thanks.

[Trickykid]

I'm a bit on the fence about the whole points system and the way it's weighted. Right now there are a fair bit more points to be gained from the initial 8 questions compared to the round specific questions, which was the way I initially wanted it. Should it perhaps be more equal?

Any ideas, pointers or just thoughts from outside of the box?

1. FC Barcelona

3. Neymar

4.
A (PSG, Real Madrid)

5. Yes

6. Bayern Munich

7. England: 1, Germany: 1, Spain: 4

8. Spain

What will be the matchday questions be like?

What will be the matchday questions be like?

I've already made the first one, which you can see in the initial post. Other than that, I'll just make it up on the fly. But it'll most definitely be a mix of goals scored, goal scorers, time of goals, winners of specific games and so on. If you have any ideas, feel free to post them.

Edit: did you confuse them with round specific questions? Same thing, I should remember to stick with one term.
Edit again: changed the term to avoid confusion.

 

[Trickykid]

Just a day to go before the first round. Considering the lack of interest I'm going to scrap the questions for each round.

 

[Alik]

I'm interested in the questions per round.

In case you change your mind:

Will we see a hattrick in the first round (yes/no)?

No.
