Welcome back, everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are back in action this weekend at BC Place after a much needed week of rest and training out at UBC’s national development centre.
From the verge of the top four, the Whitecaps have fallen down to eighth in the West, so despite major absences this weekend, a result is important in order to avoid the dreaded play-in. LAFC is obviously a top team, but they will be without both Denis Bouanga and Cristian Olivera. Meanwhile, Vancouver is without Sam Adekugbe, Ali Ahmed, Ryan Gauld, Andres Cubas, Fafa Picault and Pedro Vite.
Ok, on to rules and standings we go…
- Predictions will be ‘valid’ if posted HERE (or more accurately, whichever is the correct match thread) before the lineup is officially announced, usually about an hour before kickoff.
- You receive 1 point for every player you correctly guess to be in the Starting XI. You receive 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
- You get 5 points for correctly guessing Win/Lose/Draw, this doubles to 10 if you also predict the right score-line along with the result.
- All this means, if you correctly predict the Starting XI, Final Score, and Winner, you can earn 25 points!
- At the end of each half of the season, the contestant’s lowest two scores (or missed predictions) of that period will be deducted from the cumulative standings.

I think it’s time for Bovalina to come back! But I don’t know where I’d slot him though. Do the guys train with VWFC2? He was getting minutes with that team.
