Guess the Starting XI – Match Thirty One vs. Seattle

Welcome back, everyone.

The Vancouver Whitecaps will be thrown right back into another rivalry match this weekend, as they face the Seattle Sounders down the I-5 in the Emerald City.

While the Vancouver roster has been depleted lately due to injuries, there is some good news for this match, as Thomas Müller is a potential option, while Andres Cubas and Edier Ocampo will be back from suspension.

Alright, 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.

    Well, I have been wrong on last two predictions because I got away from predicting with my brain. I was going to do it again and predict a draw, but I need to take a risk to try and climb up to first so Seattle 2:1.

    Gimme my Jean-Claude! Is Muller ready for his first away match?? Guess not, by my starting XI…I would very much like the Whitecaps to bring home the Cascadia Cup, though.
