Rain of goals in most of th matches, and really strange results and game changing today.

Leeds 4-3 against Bournemouth, was really intense, and cant believe how much goals allows the bournemouth defense , they are by far the worst defense in league.

And city was really in trouble after the expulsion of Cancelo, but they make it anyway.

The games of tonight were not so bad for most of us in the pool as the games came as predicted up until now,I find the four games outcomes correctly but not a single exact score from them so far and the top guy has 5.5 points while many others have 5 points from the 4 games so I am assuming this round is going to be a low scoring one,well not like those with 11 points max but I doubt it will be a lot of points because of tomorrow difficult games.

Only Everton I did not expect to lose at home against a disastrous defense of Leicester which has conceded so many goals,nevertheless there is still the second half to be played.

^  I'm just checking the scores at Flashscore and I'm seeing City is 1 - 1 vs Fulham and has commited a red card.  I think I should start watching the match now as it has become more interesting.

Anyway, what do you guys think of Liverpool to win and BTTS combo at 3.65?  Good value?  I know Liverpool has been losing lately but against clubs at somewhat their level, Klopp and his boys seem more motivated to get the W.  And I chose BTTS 'yes' because it's hard to imagine they'll get a clean sheet against Kane, Son and co.

Yeah City. Rested all their players so should smash it. Other than the City game, every other fixture looks suspiciously like draw traps. Hate picking draws though and am backing away teams for now, Leicester anyway I hope prove not goal shy.

Fulham are 22/1 so of course my money is there but even a draw will make my day.

My pool position is hopeless. Not like I am actually doing crazy predictions so hope I climb out of bottom quarter...

It is interesting as Leicester wants to move further away from the bottom but the same for Everton which needs the win as much as Leicester does and most probably this will be a good game to watch on TV,comparing Leicester pathetic defense and also Everton pathetic attack,it can generate a really good game based only on these two stats.
I can not remember what I have on the pool for this match but I would not wonder if the match finish as draw. Both team will not want to lose and may feel happy with one point each.

CIty won the game against Sevilla and I watched the game,it looked to me like a training session more than a real game,that is how easy City made it look despite playing with bench players.
In the last UCL match, they did not need to give their all. They were already qualified so give opportunity to the benchers was expected.

For today games I don't see any particularly good and interesting game except maybe Everton vs Leicester which both teams need a win in this game.
City were able to give rest to some of their key players in the last UCL match so they are going to have a start with rest legs. It's not like even if they were not taken rest Fulham was going to be a great challenge for them. However, it will be interesting if anyhow Fulham can steal some points from City 😂

What's interesting in Everton vs Leicester? May be for Leicester, it will be a chance for them to create some distance from the bottom part of the table.

If you don't mind, I can send you a PM in 1 hour to kick off sice you're always active on the forum. ( anything for the fun of the game.  Grin)

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm good. I made an alarm to trigger every Wednesday at noon, telling me to do my picks for the week. If I forget with that - then nothing will help anyway Grin

There's still a lot of points to play for so I'm looking to close the gap this week! I already did the picks hahah.

For the predictions you have put them to early,I usually wait to see some news from sports websites and magazines before deciding and always put my picks a minimum of 24 hours before kick off but often I delay them further,usually 5-6 hours before kick off.
He's killing two birds with one stone right now, he's already missed 1-2 game weeks to put in his predictions, so I understand why he put up his predictions earlier than expected, and since the picks aren't locked yet, he can still edit them before kickoff if he feels the need to. The EPL is just so complicated; the more you analyze, the more likely you are to have a bad week. lol

talking email alert i missed two early fixtures in the UCL pool again, i woke up to 3 email notifications  Grin

We only have like 2 or three weeks to go before we have a huge break because of the World Cup so whatever places you can go up in the standings it will be beneficial to you when we restart on Monday 26 December as then we will resume after the long pause.There are near 24-25 weeks until the end and in 25 weeks there are 750 points in total to be playing for of course in a very optimistic prediction.

While we are at the World Cup topic and while we wait for the usual pool to get live, here is one nice competition which my colleague cryptofrka and I put up for the Sportsbet. We decided to go big and try something new on the forum. Read trough the rules and I hope some of you will join. Places are limited so don't dwell on it too long Smiley

Don't you get superbru email notifications?

I do, but I often see them on Monday Grin
Gmail I use for crypto isn't my native email address so I don't read it daily.
You can still change your email to a random one, which is exactly what I did because I don't use my crypto exchanges email with any other sites and I rarely sign in except when I need to verify or move my coins. The email appears twice before the deadline and has been extremely helpful, especially for midweek fixtures. I had the same problem with FPL pool until I enabled email notification to alert me a few hours before the transfer deadline because I was used to missing it.

LOL, you forgot to put the whole round? Or a few matches?. BEcause if was the whole round i think you can be fighting for the first spot.

As far i see a lot of you made the picks for the round for parts and not make all the picks in friday for example.

In my case i put all the picks for all the pools im participating in the friday.

Yup, for the whole round - or at least all the Saturday & Sunday games.

Damn, that's painful to miss whole round, but I understand you. I suggest you, when you have some free time, put predictions maybe not for whole season, but at least few rounds ahead. Then you will get at least some points, rather than 0 for whole round. It's not best idea to to try predicting outcome of game which will be played after few weeks, but you always can change predictions before game if you don't lock it and you have some free time to do it.
And yeah, chance to get yellow cap is good reason to don't stop playing, even if you're on the bottom.

Yup, I'll be doing this going forward. I can always change them if I remember and it's better to have them 3 weeks in advance than not at all.

Nah, I don't really plan to give up - there's also freebets to play for. I'm just venting, it's so frustrating to forget it so often.
I really like to play these prediction pools - I bet rarely nowadays because I don't have the time to do thorough research so this satisfies my fix.

It's just that work has been so crazy lately so when I have the weekend for myself I don't even go near the PC. I'll just put some reminders to check Superbru during the work week.

I forgot to put in my predictions once again - it's my 3rd time since the start of the pool. Really frustrating, especially considering that games other than Liverpool and Chelsea had quite realistic results.
I'm 20 points away from top 10, I'd probably be there if I just remembered to play.

I'll still be participating in the pool and trying to get a yellow cap but my season is over in November - kinda same like Liverpool who I support Grin

If I remember correctly, the only game I've missed this season was the Aston Villa-Leeds game, and I almost missed the others as well. You could have been in the top 10, who knows, but the difference between my position and the table leader is only 12 points, and I'm currently ranked 22nd. This has been the story of the pool thus far: one bad prediction and you are 5th place down, two good predictions and you are 10th place up. Very competitive.

Yup, I didn't get my predictions in for Saturday's fixtures too...  Not that it mattered.  Judging from what the results were, I prolly wouldn't have made a lot of points.  There would prolly be a couple of close predictions but that's about it.

I'm so close to giving up as it's starting to be a waste of time.  But the  again I paid around 50 bucks for this.  I'm just gonna make some quick predictions without thinking about it too much.  Gonna do it...  Now.  Cheesy

Edit:  Done.  Did it in 30 secs.  Less even.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
