Sam Began In The Right Lane

🏆 SAMANTHA LANE

The Calm, Confident Predictor

Super Cup Winner

Samantha Lane plays the prediction game the way a composed midfielder controls possession — calm, measured, and quietly deadly. Winning the Super Cup “felt great,” she says, though she admits she was genuinely shocked at first.

She became a frequent visitor to the leaderboard once she hit the top, watching her rivals — particularly Ross and Brad — close behind. She plays by instinct, confidently predicting Premier League outcomes and, unlike many, she’ll predict against her own team if needed. “Sometimes you have to be prepared to take a loss with your team,” she says.

Her strategy is steady and unchanged since joining the league. A Chelsea supporter since age sixteen, she calls Frank Lampard her football idol. Her dream match to attend? Chelsea vs Celtic.

Samantha is one of the few wholeheartedly in favour of VAR — “I think it’s great” — and she names Steve Pengelly as PG8’s banter champion.

Will she defend her title?
“Most definitely.”

Samantha’s Advice to New Players: “Do it — it’s fun and it’s football.”
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — “Exciting and engaging.”
