Just a few rules before we start:
01. You don’t have to vote in every category by any means, so if ~who’s da hottest~ doesn’t interest you one jot (or you think all the nominees are munts), feel free to omit the category.
02. If you do vote in a category though, please do a 1), 2) and 3) (your first place will get the most points when I aggregate them up.) Votes with only 1 or two will thus not be counted.
03. This is not a Jamie Redknapp system of doing things, so you cannot be like 1) Gareth Bale, 2) Gareth Bale, 3) Gareth Bale. In fact, to try and prevent partisan bias getting in the way, in the categories of Best Player, Goal, Flop, Underrated, Disgraceful Calls, Character and Most Attractive, you cannot vote for more than the same team more than once in the same direction. This sounds convoluted, so I’ll try to explain. Say you’re picking goal, and you liked Tiote’s goal vs Arsenal and Nasri’s goal vs Fulham, that’s fine, you can put both down, because even though the former involved Arsenal, it was against them. Similarly, say you’re doing Worst Call and you want to vote for Carragher not getting sent off for his foul on Nani as well as Rafael not getting sent off for his foul on Lucas, that’s also allowed despite it involving both teams, because one is against Liverpool/Man Utd, and the other is the fouls are *on* them. God this is confusing. But basically, what I mean is, say you’re picking Underrated, something like 1) Leighton Baines, 2) Phil Jagielka and 3) Yaya Toure wouldn’t be allowed (the first two both play for Everton). Note that this is not enforced for match category, so it’s open house for voting there.
04. If you genuinely only care about your 1) and want them to do as well as poss, then you could do tactical voting, that is to say make your number 1 your 1), and then for 2) and 3) just bung down two that you know have no chance of winning, as this will then deprive any close competitors of getting points. So basically what I'm saying is, I can't stop you from (or even detect, tbh) ~voting strategically~, such as making Modric your #1 just to deprive Vidic of winning it or whatever.
Any questions, just ask, I know, I know, I'm a knob, I need2train
