🟨 C1 (BE)
WEEK 21 REVIEW
Was another week of likely home bankers, and the predictions reflected that. Everyone went for home wins in the first four matches, with a more even-split in the Rome derby. In the end, it was three home wins and of course a pair of our favourite 2-2 draws (more on those later). The draws at Craven Cottage and Anfield saw 0s across the board, mostly 3s for the Sunderland win - though @holbeach ref hit the 1-0 treble for 9 points. Mostly 1s and 2s for the French Super Cup, and then handfuls of points (and two deductions) for the Roman derby - with @RefereeX getting a treble (3 pts) for the 2-0.
BONUS GAME
A new-look bonus game, testing your luck against a specific opponent and trying to steal (5) points from them... but get caught (losing a head-to-head) and they take 5 points from you! Here's the total scores just from the match predictions:
And now the fun bit (in league order):
+/- Bonus Pts:
LEAGUE TABLE
Top two stay as they are, but One takes 16 points out of Wizzy's lead. There are three pairs of changes in the table, as players leapfrog each other when the bonus points kick-in, most notably Holby back into the top three for the first time since Week 02, and he's now the player with the most correct predictions (55) out of all of us. RefX slips to the bottom behind Navy in a very tight battle, a 3-point swing taking Navy two ahead.
WEEK 22 FIXTURES
BONUS GAME
It's Week 2-2, Desmond! Your bonus game for this most spectacular of weeks is to pick ANY professional fixture* that takes place anytime this week between you posting and before Monday 13 January. If that game finishes 2-2** you receive 22 POINTS. If the match does not end in a 2-2 draw but both teams score at least twice you will receive 11 POINTS. If it's 0-0 or 1-1, you can have a pity bonus of 5 points. No negative bonuses this week.
* As long as I can find it on FotMob / BBC Sport (etc). Ask if unsure.
** If you pick a cup game which goes to ET, final score is taken AET.
Have fun! Thanks to those sending me bonus game ideas, we'll have a handful of 'normal' weeks after this, then do something a bit mad for 30. Keep the suggestions coming! Feel free to double-check your bonus points, I'm 95% sure I've got it right but did get distracted half-way through.

Edit 1: Mistakenly included Navy twice in the bonus points round-up (doesn't affect total, just had him listed twice).
