Yep that's all good ajc. I only have to go back and review those once, at the end, so it's no problem.
If I can just ask one favour of everyone, it's that can you please be consistent with the layout of your match pick through the season.
In particular, try and always name both Arsenal and their opposition, so I don't get confused as to which round the pick was for etc etc. There will no doubt be times when I tally up after a couple of rounds etc. Everyone is doing it perfect so far.
And one last thing... LOL...
If anyone misses the first round pick, or people feel like joining late, we can be very lenient, to encourage participation. If we do get that, I'll just make it something like you can start off with one or two points less than the lowest person on the table, or something like that. But we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.
Righto:
1) Top 6 (name in specific order): 3 points for each correct team in their correct spot, or 1 point for each team picked in the 6, but not in their correct spot - Citeh, ARS, LIV, Red Scum, CHE, WHU (Sp*rs can get in the sea)
2) Relegation places (no particular order): 3 points for each - Swansea, Palace, Huddersfield
All of the following are 5 points:
3) Player with most Assists for the EPL (from any team) - Sterling
4) Player with most Goals for the EPL (from any team) - Aguero
5) Keeper with highest Number of EPL clean sheets (from any team) - Ederson
6) Highest scoring Arsenal player for the season, in all comps - Lacazette
7) Highest scoring Liverpool player for the season, in all comps - Firmino
8) Arsenal EPL GD at end of season (write as +16 etc) - +21
9) Liverpool EPL GD at end of season - +17
10) Arsenal finishing round for League Cup - 5th
11) Arsenal finishing round for FA Cup - 6th
12) Arsenal finishing round for Europa League - Final
13) Liverpool finishing round for the Champions League - Semi
14) R19 and R38 Arsenal position in the EPL - 5th, 2nd
15) R19 and R38 Liverpool position in the EPL - 2nd, 3rd
16) Round number for St Tott's Day confirmation (write NA if you believe this won't happen, NA will also be worth 5 points) - 33
17) Highest scoring Chelsea player for the season, in all comps - Morata
18) Chelsea EPL GD at end of season - -3
19) Chelsea finishing round for Europa League - 3rd

Ok next up, we have Chelsea vs Arsenal on Sunday morning at 4.30am, and Liverpool play Crystal Palace on Tuesday at 7am.
Special round straight away!
Give me 24 hours max to come back with some special picks...
Alrighty, how about normal picks, normal points, but we add players and an extra cupla categories for the special round match...
So choose the Arsenal vs Chelsea score, also include the HT score in brackets, pick two players from EACH team, and then we can have a little keeper special, since Cech used to play for Chelsea, and Chelsea have a brand new guy. Pick one of the two keepers, and lets make it an extra 2 points for whomever gets the highest match-rating of the two, on whoscored.com. And of course, also select the result of the Liverpool game. So here is my pick, showing the right format to do it;
Arsenal 3 (1) Chelsea 1 (1)
Aubameyang, Lacazette
Hazard, Willian
Goalkeeper Bonus Pick: Cech
Liverpool: Win
Special Round points are as follows: Normal points for full time score, and player selections (including the two extra players), and the Liverpool result. 5 points for picking HT score, and 2 points for the Goalkeeper bonus.

But then I was in Palmy Nth for 17 minutes on Monday so I can't be sure of anything for another few days 'til it wears off lol (sorry Matt)

OH SH*T!
I did not notice that Surge! My sincerest apologies!
Let me update the scoreboard... SORRY!
Edit: Just updated it... unfortunately you managed a 0 first out of the blocks... I appreciate the honesty, you could've nabbed yourself a free point there ;)

Yep that's right. Feel free to put your picks in, and continually edit your post up until Aug 31.
However we can't actually see the edit time/date so we'll have to trust each other on that! No sneaky late updates at the end of the season! I may actually take a paste of them all on Aug 31 so I can check... or will I... you'll never know ;)
Cool thanks. Figured there was no point sticking with De Bruyne for most assists now he's out for 3 months.

Arsenal MoM Aubameyang (7.7): 3 pts
Assists/Goals points: Monreal 1, Welbeck 1, Bellerin 1 Iwobi 1
Liverpool Win: 1 pt
Chelsea: 1 pt
Interesting that Aubameyang rated highest, Monreal, Xhaka and Ramsey were close behind (7.4/7.3). It looked like Bellerin got 2 assists but the Monreal goal assist was credited to Iwobi, not that he knew much about it. I feel like Lacazette should get an assist for the own goal but apparently it doesn't work that way.
