Here's the starting table, including a measure of your optimism relative to the current top ten total of 1855.

 Today is the best time to be bottom CD.  From there the only way is up.

I see that my "optimism" score is exactly the same in both the Mens and Women's predictions (only 35 so not very optimistic at all). I find this really weird given that both were undertaken in a completely random and unrelated manner. Does this maybe just reflect the fact that I'm not very optimistic?

 I think Kyle's injury situation has clouded the situation since you have him as a sub, while some have included him in their top 10 but with a lower ranking than your prediction.

The optimism/pessimism score has largely been determined by whether the chosen sub is Kyle/Andy or say Anton/ another young player predicted to be 340 etc.

 Thanks, SuperT - I like your style

 Yes, there is very likely going to be much more change than usual over the year as players' remaining 2019 and 2020 points should drop as well as 2021 points. I reckon As You Were is going to be in big trouble 

And here is the prediction table. Strongbow is the early leader, beating As You Were (which shows how the rankings have changed)
