Thanks for posting - great reminder I will get some entries in before deadline.

I’ve been brushing up on form by checking Egypt football results, which oddly helps me spot patterns before locking in my picks. If you’re juggling a couple of entries, keeping an eye on different leagues can spark ideas and stop you overthinking your choices. The £5 entry feels fair, and the prize jumps once numbers rise, so I’m hoping plenty of us throw our names in.
