DoJB has highlighted to me that the group stage points-per-game is slightly confusing due to the penalty shoot-out after every drawn match.

Group stage games award points as follows:

So still maximum of 9 points from the 3 games.


Points

10 poinst for correctly predicting furthest round reached

5 points for correctly predicting group stage points

15 points maximum

“How many points will they score in the group stage?”

 

Three people guessed 5 points and win, by coincidence, 5 PL points

 

 

Still 10 points to award when we discover how far Wolves U21 reach.
