Can definitely answer those:
EPL preds get you 10k of the way there. Can be convinced otherwise, but that is what they've been since I've been doing participation. This is in part due to your average blog post being 10k. Some blog posts can be 15, 20, or even more due to being involved, well researched, etc.
Most journals average 20k. Some are 15k, some are 25k, just like the blogs. But, if you were to take any given journal and move it to the blogs, it would in theory pay out the same amount. Journals just tend to be more involved and earn more as a result.

Sorry to be another person asking questions of you, Paul. But is there a weekly cash prize for round 10? Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see it paid out.
Let's just call it an intentional act of altruism, and definitely not me tripping over my own feet.
Sad to see my last-minute prediction league edit cost me 86k or so in prize money. Lucky that it didn't also cost me an OTF! The thinking being I needed to change one pick to give me a chance of catching COW - shame I changed the wrong one to a draw.
At least the silver lining is that by getting 2nd place tied with DEE instead of 2nd place outright, more managers will get a prize, so that's a plus
Been a little bit since I've seen a 5 game suspension, like ELG will be facing at the start of next season. Last one I recall was a HIB player getting a red and a yellow or two reds in the same weekend. Brutal!
Betting on Oconnor to score instead of Nicky Riley might have been the difference between being able to buy 50 CP vs only 45 CP for next season. Seems MOT had trouble getting the goalscorers right whilst betting this season!
Maybe one day I will beat you in these premier league predictions. I just can't seem to get first in either prediction league! I need to quit expecting anything of use from clubs like Aston Villa, I guess.
