Sorry that was a mistake (typos) I meant to say conference league not championship. Celebrating a win over Gent with a front line of Pedro Neto, J. Felix, Mudryk and Nkunku which are all expensive purchases. Chelsea squad valuation alone is the combined valuation of all other clubs in the conference league so technically we should be winning all this games with our 2nd or 3rd teams.

Team/players valuation doesn't win you games - Gents are not on our level but they're not too far from it. We're playing in the same category for a reason. We're both mid. Lol

10 men Nottingham Forest and we still couldn't score with about 20 minutes more playing time (extra time included), games like today is when I wanted to see what Chelsea got that can help them to win games but nothing to show for and we have dropped another 2 vital points.

Less than 30 minutes to play against 9 players in the box- there's nothing you can do. Could've been easy if they had complete players on the pitch. Nottingham forest always give us problem.. I wasn't expecting much from that game.

Congrats to CryptopreneurBrainboss for winning the Round 7 Yellow Cap

EDIT:

Congrats to hilariousandco for winning the Round 7 Yellow Cap  Grin
Superbru showing two Yellow Caps confused me this round for some reason
CryptopreneurBrainboss will still be awarded a prize for this round

Backing Villa today was fine but it was not enough to win the match. Another bad round for me. Nothing from the last 4 matches LOL



Right; which is why I've been using "Total Closeness" system for the entire season in the event of a tie-breaker situation.
I am not worry about any of it 😂

These are the their total points, not their total closeness.
hilariousandco has earned 66 points in total and Brainboss has earned 64.5 points.

The problem we have here is that superbru doesn't display the total closeness for a certain round. We can't know who had the less total closeness in round 7, unless we calculate that manually.

This also incentivizes people not to get lazy and actually try to win the entire season.
If there is a tie for "Total Points" at the end of the week, there will be multiple Yellow Caps awarded.

These numbers are the total closeness for all rounds.
When it comes to determining the yellow cap winner of a round, I think it's more fair to consider the total closeness only for that round, not all rounds.
Whoops; obviously I posted the wrong data

Gent are not championship side - I was talking about our Conference league game.

Congratulations you're doing well in your EPL pool debut season.

Thank you, not my debut season though. I remember playing in the very first pool back in 2019 or so (can't remember) but it does feel good to be back (2 yellow caps, hoping to win more).

What about me?
I think CryptopreneurBrainboss won the yellow cap prize due to having less total Closeness.
According to the post made by jeremypwr before, if multiple people have the same points, they are ranked by their total closeness.

But going forward, the "Total Closeness" system will be used to determine who wins the Yellow Cap in the event of a tie.
This is correct

Against a championship side? Chelsea should be able to fill in their academy players and win those games. Let the complete change or a majority happen in the premier league before we can conclude that we have good squad depth.

We have lots of players yes, but I haven't seen the second choices play against a tougher opponent or a standard club.

Gent are not championship side - I was talking about our Conference league game.

Never seen any team completely change their 11 players for league games. Second team are meant to play the easiest games isn't it....

Congratulations you're doing well in your EPL pool debut season.

I think you mean FBs, full backs and not RB, which should stand for right back. Cucurella is a natural left back.

Yeah.... Mistake.

We usually play 4-3-3, 2 CBs and two inverted RBs + 2 CMs + 1AM and 3 Attackers

How many people are backing the Villa home win against Scumchester tomorrow? There could be goals galore in that one too.
Villa are the favorites, they have been the better team for 2 seasons now, are in better form currently and play well at home. The only reason I will be considering United to get at least a draw is cause they are not so bad away from home as they are at Old Trafford.

Same with us - Enzo made a complete 11 changes against Gent on Thursday ( without Academy player in starting eleven), our squad depth is insane and I like how's managing the player's minutes to avoid injuries. Heavy rotation helps and that's one thing Arsenal do not have. Take away Kai Havertz and Saka and you have complete dust up front.

ETH wouldn't want to lose this one knowing that his job is at risk, I don't see Man U losing this one but I don't think they got it in them to win either.

Not sure what to think of Slot to be honest. This is a good way to play to get results, but I preferred to get them by playing football that was more fun to watch.
Early signs show that he will get results, he's doing great with a team that wasn't built according to his preference. But I really do miss gung-ho end to end football with fist pumps.

I know it sounds silly - professional sport is all about the result. For me it never was though, I'd have never started supporting Liverpool when I did if I looked at the table.

I'm thrilled we're doing well, I just miss Klopp I guess.

I got all the results right today and one correct score. Not sure I've ever got all the results in a Saturday game day right before. Only one person above me by a single point. Come on yellow cap 😂.
Dont get your hopes high yet, there are three more matches left for tomorrow and you have thought competitions with some other players.
Darbit is stil holding strong first place in Superbru but this round is not going his way, but I am not doing any better than him  Grin
Tottenham looks like a good bet for tomorrow and I like the odds, even with asian handicap.

Strange - I didn't see any games today.
Not gambling?
I missed to watch Liverpool match. Then I was watching Arsenal, checked my sportsbet account, found some sats left. Picked over 2.5 goals in Arsenal match with both team to score in a LaLiga match. It was not serious bet but fortunately won. Now since I won, I thought to give a try in Everton vs Newcastle combined with a match from Ligue 1. It does not look like there will be any goal is Everton vs Castle. So I am losing it LOL

Slot is rotating heavily, won't be surprised if he starts Nunez next game. Not a big fan but if it means we're fuller in the tank later in the season when we're used to (and I imagine he sees we've had a kind fixture list so far) then I won't complain.

looking forward to the game at Anfield, a prefer fixture to climb up the league.

Not sure about others but I am backing Villa tomorrow. Their recent performance is not bad even last week against Bayern in CL they managed to win. Different league but Bayern is a one of the hardest opponent in CL.
