The Caf Nostradamus Champions League Knockout Prediction Cup

Ok folks, I ambitiously recruit 32 Cafites to take part in a little prediction competition

Cafites will be randomly drawn against each other. They will be randomly assigned a football game from the Champions League. The aim of the game is to predict the player who will give the greatest 'contribution' to the game, under the following scoring system (assist scores more than a goal to bring midfielders into the game):

Goal +3
Assist +5
Shots on target +1
Foul Suffered +1
Foul Committed -1
Offside -2
Yellow Card -3
Red Card -5

If both competitors select the same player, said player is discarded and we move onto second choices, repeating until both players make a unique selection. Fixtures, selections and choices all displayed in this thread. The tournament progresses by knockout. I am the final judge of scoring. The prize for the winner is eternal Caf worship from fellow posters, and a romantic meal and sexual liason with Jason. You'll have to do the cooking though, and be warned, he likes his veggies. And non veggies if you get my drift

Quick question though, how are you going to count every foul and offside for each player we pick? That sounds a bit time consuming.

I have some suggestions for points/deductions:

A wink: +50
A nutmeg: +5
5 step-overs: +2
A Dive: -5
Shit/gay goal celebration: -5
Sulking at being subbed: -10
Kicking showboating player: -10
Kicking ad board+Crying at final whistle: -10
Celebrating a throw-in: -20

No?

Fear not solius, the Uefa Champions League website provides the stats, I'll just quickly tot them up after a match

Ok cracking interest in this little game, I've extended participation to 32 players, so we need 12 more by my reckoning. Keep signing up...
