ericblack4boss Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I am looking to run a top goalscorer handicap competition next seasonIt will be along the lines of choosing three SPFL premiership strikers, each with a handicap between (0 and +10). And obviously each goal they score is added to the handicap end of season highest scorer wins,Was just wondering if anyone would be willing to take part. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 How will you work out the handicap? Link to comment

The Boofon Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 For example purposesRooney +4Ciftci +3May + 3Sutton + 2Commons 0 That sort of thing I know how a handicap works EB4B. How will you work each player's handicap? Link to comment
ericblack4boss Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 My intention would be to award a handicap I felt was fair,unless you have a better system. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 My intention would be to award a handicap I felt was fair,unless you have a better system.No a fair system is the way forward. How will you work out what's fair. I'll use Rooney as an example. He scored as many goals as Vernon last season for us. Would they both have the same handicap? Link to comment
caledonia Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Vernons must be higher as he is a free agentonly problem i see is making the handicaps after people have picked their teams will end in claims of corruption/cheats/favouritism etc etc unless you intend giving every player in the league a rating before it starts which seems a big job Link to comment
The Boofon Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Does it have to be strikers EB4B? Chris Commons is a midfielder and he banged them in last season. I'd probably have him in my team. Should have a decent handicap as well as he's not a striker. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Kris Boyd is without a club and Michael Higdon plays in Holland would think they also have large handicaps. I'll take them and Considine on +25 Link to comment
The Boofon Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 A goalkeeping one would be fun. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why not take last season's top scorers tallies & handicap them according to that? For example... Commons was top on 27, so if you class him as the bench mark of 0 & then plus everyone else according to how many less than him they scored scored.Boyd & Sutton were each on 22, so they would be +5. May & Stokes were each on 20, so they would be +7 & so on & so on...... Any that didn't play in the SPFL for full season, or not at all could be decided some other way but at least it's a reasonably simple & fair way to start it. Rooney for example who signed half way through season could have his tally doubled & then handicapped accordingly then. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-premiership/top-scorers 1 Link to comment
