Another big weekend of EPL and another weekend of our EPL Matchday 13 Predictions.
Like every week we are taking on a strange or unlikely opponent.
We are trying to prove whether you should bother doing any form study or choose a more ridiculous way of tipping EPL winners.
After equalling the results of EPL Tips determined by the value of Scrabble points per letter of each EPL side, we are keeping the theme of letters this weekend.
Except this week we are going to even less effort than usual, by having our opponent tips be selected by Alphabetical order. A simple premise, whichever team’s name is ranked higher on the A to Z alphabetical order is the opponent’s tips. Easy to work. Easy to beat. Maybe the former, not the ladder.
