heh! looks like i was the party pooper this season LOL top 3 this year coulda finished with the exact same users in the exact same spots as last season, but here i am Tongue

Just wanted to comment on that but you were faster

Intruder alert!

Not over yet, I just need 6 points from last 2 games and @LTU_btc to get 0 points, easy peasy. But realistically I'll finish 4th in this pool and 4th in Serie A pool, when first 3 positions are paying - typical.

@casperBGD destroyed us this season, congrats man.

Edit: I am gonna have some beef with Superbru if Sevilla games ends as a draw. I wanted to change my prediction to 1:1 knowing LTU_btc will most probably have them to win and then the page was not working and we both have 2:0. I got so close...

@LTU I was JUST talking the same about David Villa early this morning over breakfast with some friends on phone:) It wasn't as bad as this I would say though, not as I remember, and definitely not to the same emotions as Suarez and especially because he was Messi's best friend in the team.

Congrats to all big daddy, tomahawk and of course casper, the true La Liga champion here:)

Personally for me it was good season, but not for my team definitely. I just checked that I got just 2 yellow caps during season, but managed to finnish 3rd So, it means that I was consistent enough during whole season even without high scoring rounds.
P.S. Don't forget that there is 2 meaningless games on Sunday remaining, which will close season.

So, Luis Suarez brings La Liga title for Atletico Madrid. Too old for Barcelona, but one of key players in Atletico.

the disrespect from FC Barcelona came back to bite them (heh!) in the arse. 4th best striker of the season with 20 goals, meanwhile, griezmann and dembele, 18 goals Roll Eyes

And history repeated again today. After few years in Barcelona, David Villa wasn't needed for Barcelona anymore. So, he left to Atletico and on the same 201/14 season he won La Liga with Atletico.

congrats to tomahawk9 on second place, and third is still open?
I also think that bigdaddy won 20 points in a round, as highest score in the pool

Congrats, well deseved win! I think you were leading almost whole season. Also, from 312.5 points last season to 380.5 points this one is also impressiv thing. But it looks that we all improvedc, in comparison with last season. Did we got experts in La Liga, or it's just become more predictable Cheesy

?
And yeah, I just checked, @bigdaddy is highest scorer this season. Congrat to him.
@casperBGD, I wish better next season for your Valencia, it's shame to see this team fighting for bottom table spots.

Congratulations! Winning the competition back to back show how conversant you're with the league... I've been terrible or let me say I lost interest way to early I was just playing for a chance at the best overall point in a round (lol).

Congratulations to other winners as well, watch your back for the upcoming season!

congrats to Atletico in the end, they deserved the title

regarding matches, both from one-to-other (2-1, 1-2) it does seem strange and corrupted, but does not have to be, did not had preference, so Atletico is fine in the end, although would be the same with Real as well
hopped that Huesca will stay in the end, but Elche came out to be a winner against Bilbao, Huesca had great performance against Valencia (great match to be honest), but finished goalless, no matter Huesca was great during the match (finished with 22 shots, 8 on goal), but nervous at the finish line, and no scoring

dropped top spot within Valencia fans in the last round

, but managed to get La liga pool, back-to-back

last season

congrats to tomahawk9 on second place, and third is still open?

So, Luis Suarez brings La Liga title for Atletico Madrid. Too old for Barcelona, but one of key players in Atletico. Really happy for him. Agree with thought above that it looked like nobody wants to become champions, but in 2nd half things changed a bit. After all, Atletico probably deserved most to win league, despite wasting such big lead
Barca managed to beat Eibar thanks to goal of Griezmann, but watching this game was just waste 2 hours of my life.
In the bottom, Elche got out of relegation zone after beating Athletic 2:0. Huesca and Valladolid relegate together with Eibar.

thing is that the fans are extremely pissed off at Ronaldo right now, they're saying he's the main responsible for the team's horrendous season, so some think that giving them a bonus now when Ronaldo, the manager and board of directors should've started fixing this situation months ago does look a bit unprofessional...About the criminal part, yeah, in Spain it can be considered a felony (corruption), i remember reading something about it a long time ago

That's good point. As owner of team, he is responsible for awful season and now offering such bonuses doesn't looks good.

So it seems nobody wants to be champion in La Liga, both Real and Atletico loosing after first 45 minutes. Then you have Barca getting destroyed in first half without creating a single chance or shot until the last minutes. There will be some strange results today it seems.

After the games finish, I'll post winners here. If you are among them post your addy as soon as possible so I can pay out the rewards.

Atletico Madrid have turned things around and they've just taken the lead, It's game over right ? I really wanted them to win the league they duly deserve it, they at some point led by as many as 13 points, but threw it all away within weeks. And guess who gave them the lead ? Luis Suarez!!! He was responsible for their late winning goal just last week against Osasuna as well.

^^I definitely don't see a problem of paying bonuses, but this should be in a player's contract, and it motivates them to perform better (performance bonus I see it).

But to suddenly announce additional incentives for playing on one game, imagine the possibility? Like what if, you got everyone on the team to contribute 10% of it to bribe one official or a linesman or someone to run on the field to disrupt a goal? Who can say easily no to 165k?

Crazy scenario and unlikely but when you put money in like this, it opens all kinds of doors.

I don't really see a problem if owner will give his players bonus for playing well, it is not like he is paying them to lose which would of course be not just unethical but also criminal.

thing is that the fans are extremely pissed off at Ronaldo right now, they're saying he's the main responsible for the team's horrendous season, so some think that giving them a bonus now when Ronaldo, the manager and board of directors should've started fixing this situation months ago does look a bit unprofessional...About the criminal part, yeah, in Spain it can be considered a felony (corruption), i remember reading something about it a long time ago

honestly, if they beat Atletico today, Florentino Perez should give every one of them a big bonus, probably an Audi to each player and coaching staff 'cause RM doesn't have that much money to give away rn :-P

So, today is the day! Atletico will play against Valladolid away, while Real will face Villarreal at home. On paper, things looks easy for Atletico. They need win and their opponent is really weak. But it's do or die game for Valladolid if they want to stay in La Liga. So, it won't be easy.

Did you guys read a story where Ronaldo (Brazilian one) as the owner of Valladolid will give every player 150K if they win against Atletico? Not confirmed, but media immediately latched onto it like it is unethical. I don't really see a problem if owner will give his players bonus for playing well, it is not like he is paying them to lose which would of course be not just unethical but also criminal.

They also spun the story like he is doing it to help Real and not to keep his club in Primera. I believe it is a little bit of both since he would prefer Real to win the trophy for sure.

Real play against Villarreal and they need to win and wait for Atletico dropping points. Villareal is strong team, but I think it's likely that they will rest some players before upcoming Europa League final. So, it can make Real task easier.
Barca will play against already relegated Eibar in meaningless game for both teams. I don't know why, but I wouldn't put money on Barca today.

Damn, I have run out of game weeks to place in the money. So close and yet so far away. I think I will go with some crazy results this week as final day hail mary move. Who knows maybe it will pay off.

Got my Superbru reminder yesterday so don't forget to make your last picks everyone. Only 2 games will matter in this final matchday of course and two teams from the city of Madrid will have every eyes on them.

I guess we can congratulate the pool winners for sure, but for now, good luck to everyone and don't look down on my performance too much;)

edit: did not checked, but as I follow, first round without draw in the season

Did not check also but I think there was already a round without a draw before, I think every league had it quite early when everyone seemed to be scoring madly even in the Italian leagues:)

And congrats to the top 3 I guess also it will not change much for the final game, just the winners taking back money and us losers kissing goodbye to our money;)

Quite crazy round - such things happens when you have all 10 games on the same time.
Difficult to say something about Barca game - pretty much same thing happened today as against Granada or Levante. I just hope it was last match for Lenglet in Barcelona - I can't stand him.
Atletico made great comeback against Osasuna and now they have everything in their hands to take title. But respect to Osasuna - they fight for nothing, but gave good fight today.
Villarreal surprisingly simply trashed Sevilla in nice way. I'll just remind that in last round Villarreal will face Real - not an easy task for Madrid.
While Atletico will play against Valladolid. They are still fighting for spot in league next season, but today against Real Sociedad they looked pathetic. But as I understand, Atletico must win, draw isn't enough for them if they will collect same number of points with Real.
Things at the bottom of table is also interesting.

Back to our pool, I think we already know TOP 3. I did so bad this round and I don't have much chances to reach @tomahawk9. While @casperBGD maintain solid lead and I don't know what should happen for him to bottle.

it was a tough round, expected Real to win, Atletico saved their honor in last minutes, after falling behind, but they deserved it, as you said

Villareal caught me off-guard, expected them not that motivated and Sevilla to fight to be third in the end, but 4:0 was as far from expected as one match can be

and it was another "Granada" in Barcelona, but this time is was not important, they have to come up with something new for the next season

edit: did not checked, but as I follow, first round without draw in the season

Well, as we expected, it will be a last day decision but man, after talking trash about Atletico, they've been playing super the last two games. Today, they went behind simply because they were on the front foot the majority of the game... 8 shots on goal and EIGHTEEN other shots off target.

Don't say they're not hungry as the finish line approaches... but credit to Real for keeping it tight.

Congrats casper, toma, logfiles for this round;)
