lol i paid the the price and wasted a freebet,, ffs Roll Eyes

yeah, Barca won, cannot comment on quality, since I did not watch it

Villareal is already up, and this could easily slide into much goals
will be interesting to see Sevilla tonight, local matches are neevr easy, just as Getafe showed yesterday

it is probably a consensus on Barca to win in the pool

two brave souls predicted Mallorca to win...and how can you blame them,, barcelona have been abysmal and their starting XI yesterday didn't inspire confidence, but still, you're expecting a team close to relegation zone to beat a top team, more often than not if you do that you're asking for troubles lol i paid the the price and wasted a freebet,, ffs Roll Eyes

Good win in the end for Barca, and only 2 guys log and rdbase decided to go against them even with all the bad Covid news? That's what I call faith in Xavi or bookies or I guess a lack of faith in Mallorca Wink

I think at some point there was even a consideration of playing Ter Stegen in midfield or defence and take a backup keeper. Anyway, we march on for 4th place lol

i think i went with a 2-1 Barca in the pool, but my betslip is totally different because why not :⌃)

it is probably a consensus on Barca to win in the pool
but in gambling reality, I really doubt that someone will put money on Barca, egal chances to win for both teams, it can go any side, but I think that there will be goals, and that is my bet for tonight, over2.5, or even 3.5

I'm not really sure what to expect from Barca game. Yeah, I also haven't put money on our win, but went with our win 1:2 in the pool without much confidence. We are missing 16 players for various reasons and some players in our squad list for today's game is toltally unknown for me. On the other hand, Mallorca also missing big number of players and their squad isn't deep at all.
I'm very surprised about Getafe win against Real. In first part of season they were heading to Segunda in straight way, but recently they got some positive results. Now it's great chance for Sevilla to get closer to Real.

looks like barca will play with 4 centre backs in the defence cos they don't have any fullbacks available...i should've added Mingueza or Araujo to get carded, centre-backs playing as fullbacks sometimes leads to dumb fouls and yellow cards

That yellow cards for "full backs" could be a given. Centre-back are usually way too big and slow to contend with fast light weight wingers and they have no way of stoping them without fouls. Even if they are not yellow cards first time it happens they will start to be on 3rd foul. If opponent is not stupid they will also try to exploit that vulnerability and concentrate their game on the wings.

That type of defense can only work if Barca wingers are willing to help their full backs a lot.

what a shit game from Real today, ffs,, can we sign Haaland and Mbappe tomorrow? Benz and asensio-rodrygo-hazard were dreadful today

Quote from: Trofo on January 02, 2022, 03:35:43 AM

What will you play on that game, please share. Both teams have a lot of important players missing. I am thinking 0:1 for Barca.

Valencia killed all of us.
~snip

yeah, it was a good game until 80 minutes, but red card, penalty and Valencia was down
goal in last minute just nailed it to have zero points, it was a good chance to ensure fight in Europe positions, but it is a long season, and this one is better than previous, so not complaining

do not forget to put picks for tomorrow

True, they actually didn't lose too much from this game. The only thing is Espanyol was right below them so to give them 3 points just puts the gap even closer, but they need to look up and not down from them anyway.

And yes, much better season so far... just that now I'm wondering how the hell we will be playing with Covid as we are all forced to play if we have 5 senior squad members including goalie.

i might drop it on the Mallorca - Barca game...Mallorca are actually pretty decent when playing at home, only lost 1 game and they've had some pretty good results against the big teams this season, draw vs. Villareal, Valencia, Sevilla, won vs. Atletico madrid,, i could see mallorca going on the attack a lot and getting a bunch of corners, maybe add some booking points + mallorca double chance 🤔

Hurry up, you know those free bets have expiration date

What will you play on that game, please share. Both teams have a lot of important players missing. I am thinking 0:1 for Barca.

Full game week for La Liga starts today, make your picks.
Be vareful when betting though, covid has done a number on many teams. I started checking the info a bit while making my morning bet slip and so far it seems Rayo is hit hard so maybe Atletico will have easier time and Real Socieded is missing 13 players. Both those games could get called off so best to wait for line ups and then place the bets.

Valencia killed all of us. Started well but as usual they have a big problem with discipline and when you end up with 10 players, there's always a way for the opponent to get back into the game and win it all. Nobody in the pool even picked Espanyol but we should have seen it coming.

Happy New Year La Liga friends

And great to take a rest Trofo I think most of us are also too busy to make decent picks so let's all just enjoy the short holiday.

A lot of cards expected, since it was pretty low value for over 39.5 booking points (the minimum on offer on Betbuilder) but I decided to take it anyway since I was pretty sure we can get 2 yellow minimum per half, and heh, we already have 3 now.

Same here, my freebet is on Valencia BB as well. I had over 19.5 booking points each half which passed easy and Valencia win. Only problem I have both to score as well so I need one goal from each of them to get it right. Not gonna happen.

There will not be free bet competition for games on this Sunday. I just realized they are on and I feel like it would be forcing it, especially since Italy is still on break. I am sure Sportsbet would not complain but I want to keep it to under 40 rounds of free bets for season which means I can't organize it every time when just one league is playing and I already did that twice.

Have fun guys, I am off to celebrate New Year.

Thanks for the reminder, had my picks in long ago, and I've also thrown our final Freebet for Betbuilder on this game. 1-0 Valencia after 51st min goal.

Next games, I'd be wary of form calculations though. United and Liverpool sucked ass on their first games after rest, while teams who were forced to play without break carried their form over. La Liga might just also show some surprise reboots of form.

Don't forget we have one game tomorrow and also check my new AFCON pool. It is free to join for all participants of this pool as well as all other currently running pools.
We have some thrown in from Sportsbet but this is intended more like "just for fun" then proper gambling pool.

Matchday 19 kicks off next friday with Valencia - Espanyol. FC Barcelona will visit Mallorca on sunday without 4 players because of covid and possibly Dembele too due to an injury (still not confirmed by the club). So far, next matchday will carry on as planned despite real sociedad, espanyol and celta having a lot of new covid cases in their squads.

yeah, Valencia is a last fixture this year, they are playing on last day this year, but in earlier time, 16:15 (bear in mind for entries)
should we win this, not sure, but interesting fact is that both, Valencia and Espanyol won over Levante 4:3 (last two matches for Levante in La Liga actually)

but more interesting is that Levante is having three 3:4 loses in a row, since they lost on penalties in cup, after having 3:3 draw in regular time (so, officially 3:4 lose)
what is your pick for Villareal - Levante

Dembele injured? What? No way man! Grin

Anyway, I'm not too worried with the injuries and absences because other clubs will be quite affected as well. At this point I'm not going to be disappointed if we even have to play a full academy in our defence lol

For now it's not big deal because it's break now. But following what happens in other leagues and sports, it's worrying thing. I can't remember such big outbreaks last season when there were no vaccines, it was few players at same time usually. Now there is many cases when half of team get positive test results.
In other news, Barca officially signed Ferran Torres. It's great stuff, but I'm not sure how current Barca were able to find €55 millions.

Yeah like I said I guess after the break all the positives will recover, but it's about the next wave of infections, and how they might view stadiums and even games as spreading vectors.

City the winner, and Barca the loser again (financially). Who was talking about Xavi and only 10 million yesterday? hehe

Seems like we're getting new Covid positives over in Catalan teams. Lenglet's positive, Alves also, and Espanyol has more than half the team also positive. Good that we're in break and supposed to play only in 14 days so 2 weeks should even be enough to clear the current cases.

But if the outbreak gets worse, then it spreads and then I'm not sure what to think of La Liga fixtures.
