Ansu Fati returning to field was another positive thing to take home, he looked as though he's not been out for almost year without football.

Not the best week for me, so many upsets and unexpected results left me with just 4.5 points so far.

Week started with strange results but then continued with rather expected ones. It is looking significantly better for most of us after Barca, Sociedad and Rayo wins. Too bad I did not manage to snatch at least one more correct score from these three matches.

I am gonna be a little toxic and say Barca won this easy because Koeman was not on the bench

Fati returning should help them significantly in the attack. Not cool to depend on Depay so much, especially since he just came to the club. Looking forward to see how Aguero looks on pitch after he finally gets back from injury.

No Koeman in the game - easy win. Coincidence? Maybe Cheesy

. But seriously, this game left only positive emotions. Confident win and we completely dominated like good old times. Return of Ansu Fati after almost year without football and he even scored a goal today. It was very emotional moment for him and his family.
And I'm a bit surprised that most of pool players are still backing Barca after few por performance, even Madridistas are doing it Cheesy

.
@Harkorede, it's probably worst week for me in all 3 pools combined, but today's Barca, Rayo and Real Sociedad wins will bring me some points and also money in betting. I also need Betis win later today.

A really more promising and positive day for Barcelona, they ran over Levante like it was no big deal, the easiest game Barcelona has played so far this season.

Ok. Probably next time when I bet against Barcelona they will play against a better team than Levante who simply stood no chance today. However, it seems to be all honey and sweetness in Barcelona squad but I do fear that as some point they will get bad results ...maybe in a row.

Now all I have to do is to wait Betis and pray for a Draw.

@tomahawk9 @slaman29 @Trofo Yeah, that was what I call a good day for Barca (and Sevilla), everyone slipping up and precious points collected. As I said, there can't be any real hope for Barca to fight for anything more than a top 4 finish, but it's interesting to everyone as neutrals to keep the race on the table look as close as possible, for as long as possible.

Only two games snagging points for me so far with Sevilla and Barca (assuming score stays like this the rest of the game), hahay the big winner on this week of upsets!

It's one of those matchweeks where all the stars align, title contenders drop points except for Barca who win their game and the result boosts their confidence ahead of a few tough fixtures (Benfica, Atletico, Valencia)...I predicted 2-1 home win Lips sealed

I am also thinking this the moment Barca must use to get their season back on track. All competitors dropping points (except Sevilla) and they have a home match against opponent who is nothing special.

What is the deal with Koeman? I was just reading yesterday that they agreed everything with Martinez and that he will take over Barca after national league final but then again I was not able to confirm that news so I am thinking just speculation.

Only followed Real-Villareal until HT, but yeah, it looked like an extremely dull encounter

What a frustrating match. Lack of ideas from Ancelotti, some RM players looked gassed, Villareal solid in the defence and even looked threatening on the attack...it just wasn't our day

Well, Real lost the momentum (5W in a row), but hopefully they'll get it back after the mid week game in the CL

Atletico lose, Real draw, normally this would be a nice day for us Barca fans right?

No manager on our match today and again on normal times, nothing for us to be concerned about but we're so fragile now I think even Levante is frightening for us

I will just bet against Barcelona today as this team really doesn't deserve to be on the podium right now as they produce almost 0 football but you can't blame them when this team worked in a system where Messi was vital piece for success.

Levante never had love for Barcelona as they have some friendship with Real Madrid so I'm expecting full force from Levante in order to secure at least a draw.

I don't know, maybe it's only for me, but it feels like Atletico have to lose against complete underdog every season, and often it happens when they're in good rhytm. But this lose was something, I don't even know how to call it. Alaves were more than awful until this game - 0 points in 5 rounds with just 1 goal scored. Interesting stat that both teams today made just 2 shot on target combined.
Didn't watched Real - Villarreal game in full, but seems that it wasn't most exciting game and I didn't missed much.
And mate, I doubt that you would find many Barca fans who can see team fighting for title this season. Personally, I will be happy if we will finish in Champions league spot - it won't be easy with such performance.

Only followed Real-Villareal until HT, but yeah, it looked like an extremely dull encounter, didn't even have as many cards to spruce up the game (and yeah I lost Blackjack too, and a Real win + Under 3.5 goals bet). Annoying weekend, and one of the worst as I kept adding to my bets and many games ended up in draws.

Barca: yeah. Loved them and their style, philosophy, whatever you want to call it. But they don't even seem to have that anymore. Only good news I've read now is Fati's back. I will never forget that boy and wish him all the best!

Well, it had to happen, didn't it? I thought Getafe would do it last week but it was the other bottom team who did, and now the path is clear for Real Madrid to win their game in hand and put themselves in the driving seat for La Liga. I think their momentum should carry them all the way through, the way it's going. And the Madrid clubs only meet in mid-December, so there's plenty of time to put even more distance between themselves.

And yes, I'm totally discounting Barca from the race.

Real - Villareal's the Blackjack pick guys, I've put my money down on this match, sure to be above 15 points heh...

Valencia back to disappointing us, taking away points and not achieving much, while Sevilla's fine form continues... but not sure if stats equalled performance as my eyes were elsewhere in Brentford.

they have most stacked squad and still lost to the worst team in the league. Pathetic. They also ruined my multi of the weekend, they had the lowest odds (1.51), FFS! Roll Eyes

You and me both. Had two accas, first one lost on this game as the very first leg, with the lowest odds. Also had it on 1.51... though to be fair, my 2nd acca and other legs all started badly so would probably have died without even reaching Liverpool -1.5 which would have lost anyway -- but I really don't like dying so early on accas at all, feel so cheated when the odds were much nicer betting against them.

well, at least we all got the final score wrong in the pool

and yeah, massive game for Real madrid today. Staying 5 points clear of Atletico this early in the season would be fantastic

I guess nobody is actually expecting a lot from Barcelona, but betting on them to lose or draw is just another thing entirely, and it's even tougher in the pool where you have to pick just one of three possible outcome...

I would like to say I've avoided placing any bets on Barcelona for quite a while, but it can't be avoided in the pool and the thought of picking against them in the pool is just like wanting to give the other participants a free edge even while you're still competing.

That was one of my better hits this week. I was quite sure Barca game will end in a draw but I expected a scoring one like 1:1 or maybe even 2:2. If Koeman does not get the boot up his arse I am betting against Barcelona in every match. They are totally without confidence at the moment and they need positive shock from bringing in the new coach since they can't change half of the team.

Even coach change is too expensive for them at the moment but I feel like it has became a necessity. Barca had rough patches in the past but they always had the game and were just missing the results. Now they have neither which is totally unacceptable for the club of Barca pedigree. They will also miss F. de Jong in the next game and he was probably their best player so far, maybe only Depay showed more.

Uhm they don't have hopes for LaLiga as Valencia really looks on their level right now and Atl Madrid and Real are over them but they did not crack under pressure yet and they might do in the next games.

I've read on social medias and I did a post on that as fans really hope for a Europe trophy this year and that would be Europe League as UCL can be achieved only by a miracle so bringing Europe League back would motivate fans as some of them are really depressed since Messi left Sad

When you don't have big expectations, disappointment is smaller. Probably it will be my attitude on Barca games during whole season. Yes, it's still difficult to watch Barca games. If nothing won't change, probably we will say goodbye to spot in Champions league next season and will expierence how it feels to play on Thursdays. But maybe for current Barca it will be better thing than being humiliated by Bayern, PSG and other giants every season.
If Koeman will be sacked, Xavi and Roberto Martinez are mentioned as possible replacement. I would like to see Xavi in Barcelona, but not now definitely. Current Barca is fastest way for young coach to ruin his name.

I don't really know why bookmakers are giving just 1.45 for Barca win.

have a feeling it's gonna be like this for a few more weeks. Barca to win next sunday is at 1.4. I can see people going low on Levante +0.5 hc @2.9,, hell, even +1.50 is worth it @1.7

the H2H in la Liga over the last 2 seasons: 2W barca (2-1 and 1-0, both at the camp nou), 1 draw and 1W Levante.
Honestly, without Frenkie De Jong, their best player, this match is 50/50...

anywho, Cadiz - FC Barcelona...friendly reminder that Barca couldn't beat Cadiz last season (1-1 and 1-2), and that was a much healthier Barcelona 🤔

solid friendly reminder, Barca did not won yesterday, but as I saw you had 3:0 for Barca in the pool?

shitty round for me, a lot of late goals that brought me down, really did not expect Granada to conceive three goals from Sociedad, that brought me down in Sorare as well, since I do believe that Luis Maximiano is one of the best young goalkeepers at the moment

there is another round on weekend, Atletico is playing again with "all loses" team Alaves, Valencia wait for Bilbao, a Barca plays against Levante at home, is it time for a win? Sociedad against Elche seems as easiest pick
