2017-2018 Serie A Prediction Tournament

Heading into the final round of the season it's @ totti fan who picks up a round high 9 points putting him 5 points clear in 1st place. The first time this season he has held the outright lead.

@ totti fan only picked up 3 winners this round but somehow managed to get all available bonus points for correct scorelines. If not for a 87' goal in Turin for Torino v SPAL the tables would be turned and @ KensingtonSC would be 5 points clear in 1st place.

The top 4 are still in with a chance to win it heading into round 38.

At the conclusion of the 2017/18 Serie A Prediction Tournament it is @ totti fan who comes away with the win successfully defending his title from last season. @ Italy-Azzurri-Fan and @ toronto_soccer top scored with 11 points each in what was a relatively high scoring overall performance being the best aggregate round in 3 months.

Our top five also broke records with the all time high of 315 from last year being equaled or bettered. This may be a reflection of the gap between the top and bottom Serie A sides getting gradually wider, as results become more predictable. As a group we were much harder to separate, in a hard fought close competition 5 different leaders held the lead at various points throughout the last 9 months.

Well done everyone I look forward to going at it again with you all next time round.

I've added a breakdown of our tallys.

@ Afghan-Juventus hangs on for the win, wisely abstaining since round 24 after a good early start to the season.

Based on the published pre-match points on offer there were no 'upsets' this round. This is the first time in 38 rounds that there were no big surprises and it is reflected in our scores which were mostly positive.
