Euro 2012 Sweep Steak

Mr.Crinklewood · 2012-06-07 12:08:20

Anyway...enough of dogs and food... ...thought we could have a little sweepstake with a difference, though this will probably die a quick death... Just for fun and bubbles, predict the total number when all the goal scorers squad numbers are added up at the end of the tournament. - if a player scores a few times in a game…

Just for fun and bubbles, predict the total number when all the goal scorers squad numbers are added up at the end of the tournament.

- if a player scores a few times in a game you count each goal ( e.g if Philipp Lahm scores twice that is 16x2 )

- Extra time counts.

- Penalties do not count.

- There are 31 matches in total.

- Squad numbers here.( Select team and scroll down )

I`ll do my best to update the total number the night of the games....

Final List:-

Knex............4003
Adolf Hipster...2400
patmac..........1999
Hercule Poirot...1787
Fenix...........1136
RayCon..........1116

5.

(Richard Dunne, header to beat Spain 1-0).

All other games in the tournament will finish 0-0 and knockouts will be decided on penos.

You read it here first.

Average of 2.5 goals per game
31 games
Average squad number of scorer = 11 (goals from defenders, cancelled out by goals from players with higher squad number)

= 852.5

Was that your method?
