A new predictor game is arriving in time for the new Premier League season, and it’s playing a different game to the rest.
Meet PL Predictor – brought to you in association with Squawka – a scoreline prediction game that ditches the usual six-fixture format for something far more ambitious: every match, every game week.
Forget six scores – predict the lot
Most Premier League predictor games have you picking six scorelines a week. PL Predictor asks for all ten fixtures (or more, whenever there’s an extra game squeezed into the week). Predictions go in ahead of each game week, much like picking a fantasy football team, giving you a fresh shot at getting it right – or spectacularly wrong – every single week of the season.
How to play
You can sign up to play by using this link or clicking the image below.
You’ll just need to pick a username and password, enter your email address and confirm you are over 18. Once you’ve done that, you’re in!
From there, click ‘Make predictions’ and enter your Gameweek 1 picks. Lock them in and cross your fingers, you’ll be in the running for the prizes!
Rivals in your league, teammates against the rest
The real twist is what happens once your scores are in. PL Predictor isn’t just player versus player – it’s mini league versus mini league.
Set up a mini league with your mates (you’ll need at least five to get going), and your group then competes against every other mini league in the game. That’s what makes PL Predictor different: it’s not just about outscoring your mate at the pub, it’s about your whole crew taking on everyone else’s.
Two ways to score
There are two scoring mechanisms running side by side:
- Individual – your score against your mates in the mini league (bragging rights), and against everyone else on the global leaderboard, with monthly and end-of-season prizes up for grabs.
- Mini league – your group’s collective score against every other mini league in the game.
Mini league scoring works like this: each game week, your mini league takes its top five individual scores and averages them. In a mini league of exactly five, everyone’s score counts. In a mini league of ten, only the best five that week count – so there’s room for someone to have an off week without sinking the group. Season standings are based on average score per game week, not cumulative totals.
Why joining late won’t hurt you
Missed the first couple of game weeks? Doesn’t matter. Your score is always your total points divided by the number of game weeks you’ve actually played – not the number that have gone by. Score 15 points in your first week and 17 in your second, for example, and your season score is shown as 16 (32 ÷ 2), with no zeros from before you signed up dragging you down.
One thing to watch: that forgiveness only applies before you’ve joined. Miss a game week after signing up and you’ll score zero for it, which counts against your individual score and can knock your mini league’s average if there are only five of you in the group. Qualification closes on 21 November 2026, to stop anyone joining in the closing weeks and claiming the top prizes.
Prizes
Mini leagues are playing for £100 a week, plus £1,000 for the overall season winners. Individual prizes are still being finalised, but there will be rewards for the season’s best manager as well as a Manager of the Month award. As the game and its audience grow, so will the prizes on offer.
No mates? No problem!
Don’t have five friends daft enough to join you? You don’t need them. Play solo and you’re still in the running for the monthly and season prizes on the global leaderboard.
