backed Girona not to lose today, but didn't expect to win another win and sit on La Liga top after 7 rounds
Villareal at home is tough nut for best teams, and respect for Catalans that are in great form
Valencia is playing Sociedad, match can go on any side, but don't expect many goals tonight, still goalless, but just a start

So, last round I actually managed a respectable second place, which actually is even a rare thing for me despite this being the league I'm supposed to be most familiar with.
But Barca really know how to throw away a good thing huh. First Real let them stay on top then they say hey, no thanks, too easy lol
Wake me up when they wake up...

Before the match I was thinking that Barcelona would get tired in the second half of the match after playing a Champions League match on weekday and their performance would drop. However the other way around happened. They managed to win 3-2 by making an unbelievable comeback in the Celta Vigo match of which they entered the last 10 minutes 2-0 behind.
I think these Barcelona guys are trying to be crowned comeback kings of La Liga, just yesterday they did the samething of chasing the game against Mallorca who scored first thanks to home advantage but luckily they did manage to salvage a draw in a game that looked like Mallorca would win.Btw, Champions league is around the corner again and am expecting their best players to be rested against Sevilla and am expecting a similar performance of a draw/lose for FCB especially that Sevilla is back to winning ways and will be looking to get on a winning run.

Previous LaLiga round was not going like I wanted it to go.
I got pissed by Las Palmas scoring a goal in last seconds of the match, and I had exact score 0:0 in Superbru
Only 8.5 points and one exact score for me, but I am impressed with results of top guys, I dont know how they are doing it.
Another win for Girona and they are still holding second place in league?! WOW!

^ Oooh scandal...
Anyway, funny that I ordinarily back Atleti in the derby but BSFL made me think with my head (and cost me the title) so there's always a benefit to going against the grain.
And yes, alerts important, 3 pools if not 4 this season will suffer if you forget picks. Busiest season ever for most of us, I probably should thank some invisible power somewhere there's no Fantasy for La Liga and Serie A...

If you have access to the results of fixed games, then I am ready to discuss cooperation 
Pssscht, don't tell anyone here. Of course, I already know the match results for the next few weeks, but I make it look like I'm just lucky.
And now, all kidding aside: I was quite surprised myself that I'm suddenly on top in both pools, while I'm at the mid/bottom in the Premier League and Bundesliga (my regular pools, where I believe I have more knowledge).
But maybe that's not the case at all, lmao.
Yep. This tour at the unusual time of Tuesday-Thursday may turn out to be a trap for those who have not set themselves an alert about the need to make forecasts on time.
Yea, I'm in so many pools already, that I desperately need alerts. Otherwise I would miss plenty of matches each week, lol.

Congrats on the match day win @mitchr4. Solid 15 points, not bad buddy.

I did quite well with 10 points and was able to take the lead in the pool. However, the leaderboard is still damn close and we have matches again tomorrow. That's why the table is sure to change again in a few days, haha.

Nice jump up three places at once, congratulations! But what’s more interesting in the Serie A poll is that you also moved up three places and also took first place

Girona. I must admit, know little about them but yes I'll try to see them play in highlights to see if they deserve it, or riding the horse of luck.
Well you were right though, tired and according to Xavi, very clumsy and careless. Then it all changed with 10 minutes boom time.
That's what happens when you win 5-0 in a row twice and then your manager says you are at the best level he's ever seen lol
Always be humble in this league!

Damn, what a crazy comeback of Barcelona. In general it was shitty game, but what was going on in last 10 minutes was crazy - from 0:2 to 3:2. When score become 2:2, usually I think it's already good to take 1 point from such kind of game, but this time I was more than sure that 3rd goal is just matter of time.
Want to say few words about Girona, they're still undefeated after 6 rounds. Win against Mallorca 5:3 today and IMO, from all teams, Girona games is most attractive to watch now. I really would like to see them in Europa league next season at least, maybe even Champions league is possible.
Madrid Derby at Metropolitano tomorrow, any initial thoughts?

For me neither research nor luck are on my side, started week 1 at the bottom and never got to climb, its so unpredictable and so hard to guess the right score, still early on but have a feeling not much will change for me. I also decided that once i decide on a score i will not make any changes, many times I made a change and ended up getting it wrong while my first pick was the right one, at least i believe i am not the only one with this issue, it feels like the universe likes to be funny with us, there has to be something going on along those lines. Ah well at least I enjoy the fun of it all.
Way too early to give up, keep doing all the picks and have faith in yellow caps and Sevilla losing
I change scores here and there sometimes but sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Honestly, probably just keep things easy and keep your picks unless something drastic happens to team players.
Barca got first tricky win, so I'm happy

Don't let the bad results from the first few round discourage you. Predicting correct scores is very difficult and much luck is needed to guess the score of a game. I'm too sitting near the bottom of the table, but that's OK. I joined this pool for fun, not for anything serious. Sometimes luck will change and you will get a lot of scores right or close and sometimes you will get most games wrong.

And that is why I like the BSFL competition more than pools. In pools you can't come up with ans answer by researching. You can maybe have an idea which team will win but there is no way to know how many goals will there be in a game. It's pure luck. In BSFL luck plays an important part but a lot more depends on the research.
It would be great if we could have more competitions like BSFL.

Same. Pools actually not much you can do and random scores win you exact and close points. This season I'm trying more 2-1 scores everywhere and no difference in results lol
BSFL if you research and your opponent does not, you have better chance of "free points" like in picking tennis finalists for example. Still luck like you said but you can win points by research

have to admit that Girona form is up since they beat Real at home 4:2 last season, and I don't want to use that, constantly thinking they will melt, but they are staying up, and will probably melt when I start to pick them
Valencia is up since Baraja took over, more than happy about that, and also have win over Real at home last season, at the end
seems that win over Real at home is a game changer for La Liga teams
Point noted for Girona LOL.Valencia is up since Baraja took over, more than happy about that, and also have win over Real at home last season, at the end

My knowledge about these leagues are nearly shit. Have no idea of the teams, how they play. I only depend on the result I see online and make my guess from it. Maybe that's the reason of the bad position on the point table for me.
Anyone have more to say about some other teams or any insights that can help people like me? We can always use tips and helps from people who know the league better than others.

Quite a funny standings after 5 rounds - after the obvious leaders are Athletic, Girona, Valencia and Rayo Vallecano.

A similar problem - when I see that a team has begun to play significantly better than its average level, I always don’t know what forecast to make - after all, the randomness of the results increases (a team on the rise can either beat the leaders or lose points with outsiders), so basically I suffer from the fact that I'm not making a bolder prediction. Well, or when I do it, it just happens at the moment when the randomness is realized and the team loses/draws

Can you believe Barca's last freekick goal before the weekend was from Messi? I'm the happiest guy ever. Still witholding comments on Felix but nice that both Joaos scored
Yup. I was relegated last year in BSFL and I wasn't trying less hard, it just seemed impossible to win anything. You could score 5 or 6 and still lose or draw at best.
This season also it was a big lucky streak but in my favor. Now I just hope I get lucky one more round to get back in promotion. At least ther research helps. Superbru is true roulette.
Yeah, it's definitely luck. I was invincible in the BSFL competition in the first season and now I'm struggling to keep my position in the middle of the table. You can research all you want but with predicting correct results for a football game, luck is the main factor.
