Payments have been sent now. Thanks everyone for participating and massive thanks to jeremypwr and Sportsbet for hooking us up with the sponsorship. Without them this pool wouldn't be anywhere near as fun.

I will leave this thread open until the end of the year and then I'll probably lock it if it hasn't already died before then.

The PL pool is so long that you can slowly climb up the leader board over time. You don't need to do amazing just be consistent with slightly above average scores and you will crawl up the table. The world cup you can't afford to be average as the competition is so short. I started off pretty badly but moved up the table in the knockout stages but wasn't enough to grab a paid place (though I wasn't far off in the end but it's so close that you need every point you can get).
