Yes, new this season, all explain in the 23-24 PLP O/P. Only 2 per season, November and around April.

Oh that's good because it would of been wild to miss out last season lol.

Anyway thanks for the info Boom.

Would be just about typical for a daft VAR decision in stoppage time of a match to wipe out a wild joker .

I'm putting money on it being a last minute dodgy pen to Tottenham the 12th minute of stoppage time that fails to get overturned .

I'm not quite sure how the wild joker will work - just something I wanted to try. Just also to confirm I'll do the second one around late March - early April.

If it's beneficial competitively to the game there might be scope to add a third one for future seasons. At the moment two a season seems a good trial period. I didn't want to overload the competition with too many bonus points.

We'll see. I won't know whether to laugh or cry though if VAR chalks it off.

That's football for you isn't it , i done Wolves to draw with Tottenham 1-1 and you think after getting a late goal like that on 90+1 you think that's it don't you and then Wolves score again on 90+7.

^^ It is indeed football. I'm very thankful of today's last minute winner.

Sadly though, there seemed to be a lot of lost scores and jokers today... hopefully they'll be better success with tomorrow's selections.

I really thought the jokers wild was a good idea - and it may still be - just might take a little while to get off the ground.

That said I fully appreciate all contributions in the competition.

^ There's no guarantees in this game so just to have a chance of scoring more points is no bad thing in my opinion, so Reg stop doubting yourself it is indeed a good idea.

And plus my wild is still to come so let me demonstrate how good of an idea it is , I'm sure this sentence won't age like milk in the sun lol.

I'm happy to buy a Wolves win with a prediction they lose .
Lesson to self.
Must stick to this strategy every week. No veering off

I thought with 2 players sent off on Monday Spurs were going to struggle and were only going to manage a draw against Wolves. I also thought that Newcastle, having played badly against Dortmund in mid-week, were low on confidence and were only going to manage a draw against Bournemouth. Being right about Spurs and Newcastle having a bad day doesn't count for much if I still get the results wrong and they both lose.

I was watching the Wolves v Spurs game live on Discovery Plus, and when Wolves scored the equalizer in added time, I already banked the 3 points for the 1-1 draw in my mind, but then they went and scored again.

Right now to make me look like I'm better at this game than I actually am, Villa/Fulham players no more goals please.
