The Vancouver Whitecaps are halfway through their 2017 MLS season and that means it is time to announce a winner for the first half of our Guess the Starting XI and Final Score contest. This is the second year that we have been running this contest and it has been fantastic. We had a record number (27) of people participate in the first match of the season. The numbers dipped off after that, but in total, 34 people made predictions in the first half, with a consistent 15 each week.
To spice things up this season, we changed the scoring slightly, and it has made an interesting difference.
