Hello again everybody and welcome to GUESS THE GOAL 🥅 for the 2025/2026 Season!This competition is for AWAY GAMES including the Cups as drawn until the Finals. 😃
Hopefully there will be some cracking Europa League Away fixtures, this season!
How to play Guess The GoalPlayers guess the minute a goal will be scored in the away matches during this season.
It’s either our goal or an unfriendly one but it’s still a goal and it scores you points! That’s the basis of this game.
I post a match thread as GTG ROUND X in Heroes Discussion. You choose which minute (0 -90) of that match a goal will be scored, posting your guess before Kick Off.
I post everybody’s scores at the end of the Guess thread shortly (24/48 hours) after the end of the match.
The Table appears in here, updated after every 3 or 4 rounds, depending on fixtures.
We play the PL away matches, including all Cup competitions. If there’s a chance this season, we’ll play an Aston Villa Women’s team fixture again! 👍
How many points can I score and how do I win?Scoring your Guess:Spot on the minute - 11 points!!! 🌟 and you get a star!
(New - see the
Ollie’s Star subsidy bonus, below!!!
Up to 1 minute away - 10 points.
Up to 2 minutes - 9 points.
Up to 3 minutes - 8 points.
Up to 4 minutes - 7 points
Up to 5 minutes - 6 points
Up to 6 minutes - 5 points
Up to 7 minutes - 4 points
Up to 8 minutes - 3 points
Up to 9 minutes - 2 points
Entering the round - 1 point! 😁
No goals - Everyone playing the round gets a point! 😃
Bonuses!!:
Ollie Watkins is ASTON VILLA’s record breaking striker and current champion goal scorer! He achieved this status towards the end of last season. I thought it would be totally appropriate to celebrate this in GTG!🥅
So…
NEW! Ollie’s Star Subsidy works like this.
Anybody who wins a spot-on star🌟 for their brilliant guess in any round will get 1 extra point in ALL subsequent rounds!
And yes - if you get another spot-on 🌟, that means an extra 2 points added to your score in the subsequent rounds!
AND We can also celebrate the reappearance of a popular bonus which applies to all players, a bit like a team!
The chance for all players in a round to score DOUBLE POINTS with
The Wild Mings Bonus will feature in odd random Rounds during the season!
What to post?You post a guess identifying any one minute of the match between 0 to 90.
e.g. 5. 13. 29. 34. 48. 57. 61. 72. 86. 90 and any variation on this theme.
NEW rule If you want to guess an
extra time goal use 45+1,+2, +3, +4 etc and 90 +1,+2, +3 +4…..
This is because of the new bonus based on spot-on stars -
Ollie’s 🌟 Subsidy - see above!
Any Goal scored within reach of your Guess scores you points!!!(This means that a very good guess can net you 20 + points when we play Liverpool.
)
* Points are awarded for the minute a goal is published as being scored, on the BBC Sport site.
* Rounds are launched up to a few days before a match. I avoid overlapping rounds and there will be some very short run-ins, so be prepared!
* Results for a Round are posted at the end of that thread and the updated Table appears in here. The final result will be posted here at the end of the season. See below for previous champions and runners up.
* You’re always welcome to post comments and questions about GTG in here, thanks. If it makes more sense in the thread, fair enough!
REALLY IMPORTANT BITYou post just
One Guess of just one minute in a GTG round.
And
No editing of that post, please.
For the worried:
If you’ve accidentally posted a typo, then Do Not Edit, post again and tell me that this is your real Guess. It could work, it usually does! 👍
For the opportunistic / litigious:
You can’t have a second guess by this method. Your first must be a GTG 🥅 disaster.
And now, stand by for the first Match and GTG 🥅 guess - for Brentford v VILLA!
Guess The Goal Round 1 🥅 will be up and running in Heroes Discussion later TODAY for the match next Saturday, 23rd August, so 👀 out for it and get your guesses in before Kick Off at 3 pm next week!👍
Thanks,
UTV!
