given the current events in Britain, will Matchweek 7 and 8 get suspended? i can't find any news about it, only that the protocol suggests a national mourning for 12 days
once in a lifetime opportunity.

I think he's a decent coach, but very overhyped by the local media.

Possibly. I know BBC changed their scheduling today, and I believe there's a certain amount of days of mourning or something like that, so scheduling could potentially be changed until then. However, Sky, and the likes don't have to conform to that, and it all depends on what the guys behind the English Premier League want to do.

I'd expect it continues, but they'll definitely have respects paid, and probably a minute of silence. Although, none of us can be sure because for a lot of people this is the first time something like this has happened in their life time, so anyone's guess really.

Not sure if they will postpone this weekend's games because of how tightly the season is scheduled; if they do, the FA would have announced it by now. Instead, I believe there will just be a moment of silence to pay respects before the game continues because there has been a lot of time and money invested in this weekend's games, with fans coming from far away to watch their team play. The queen enjoyed sports lets give her a competitive game this weekend. The queen, don't you think, is a West Ham fan? someone said C. Palace i don't know

Well, you are succeeding in that, mate.

After moving 3 positions down

you are still on the 17th place. That's impressive, for me at least, who is on the 42nd place after moving 5 positions up. What pleases me is that we have traveled only through 6 rounds out of our 38 rounds long journey. Much can change within the next 2-3 rounds, let alone all of them.

Exactly, there is no cause for alarm, at least not yet, except you're a Liverpool fan Grin

Quote from: Welsh on September 07, 2022, 04:45:53 PM

I'm probably going to learn my lesson, and actually predict Liverpool to draw, and lose from now on, however I had a decent week last week, and find myself roughly mid table. I can live with that. I'm starting to get a feel for the forms of teams. Arsenal, Man City looking the early title contenders to me, which I'm definitely surprised by Arsenal.

This was my Achilles heel last season, I really couldn't bring myself to make picks against Man Utd a lot of times last season, and the same goes for Barcelona in the La Liga pool, even when the results were literally just terrible, there is still always this what if I'm and everyone one else is right thoughts lingering in my mind.

Quote from: Welsh on September 07, 2022, 04:45:53 PM

What I'm afraid of is Man City winning the league super early, and then it just takes the fun out of it. I'd much rather a competitive league, where it goes down to the wire. There's more drama, and fun to be had.

That would kill the anticipation we all had for the season at the very beginning, Perhaps that's why Guardiola is playing Haaland week in, week out ? with the hope of making the most of Chelsea and Liverpool's shenanigans before the World Cup break. The only team I'd rather have keeping a close tab on City would be Liverpool and or Chelsea, having Arsenal or Man Utd do that might likely just result in Man City running away with it come week 24-28

I'm not that good with SuperBru, how can I see the previous round's high/low scores? I noticed hilarious had the wooden spoon, but I wasn't going to rub it in, honest Wink

.

I think SuperBRU is pretty much easier to navigate on Mobile than the PC/Web version, On mobile just click Pool Results table and then you'll find the current Round displayed at the very top, it's a drop box and you can select any round you want to view from the options there.

@toma @darxiaomi Think I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Potter should be hands down EPL manager of the season so far... losing his two best players and still finding a way to play some of the most attractive football WHILE being above... Liverpool, United, Chelsea, etc.

Doesn't mean I think he can handle Chelski, tough, tough nut. He might just take the job for his CV, can't last longer than a season.

I'm definitely betting on Fulham though. I've been milking Chelsea for so much, might as well pile it on until at least Kante comes back.

@Welsh yeah I'm a fool going for a Spurs win at City. I'm so bad in this pool this season I feel like I need to take a few more risks before settling for regular style (which is hard to do because I still haven't gotten round to watching all the teams so I've not much idea about form either).

@Trofo Oh and I was wrong about 2 things pre-season. Mitrovic failing to impress at the highest level again... overlooked he's now peak striker age. And Haaland not getting game time, well, he only needs about 60/70 minutes to make his impression.

What are you guys thinking about the Chelsea vs Fulham game? With Chelsea's current situation I actually see them dropping points here. The team hasn't performed all that well with Tuchel, and now he's been sacked we'll either see a bounce back or what I think is more likely go through a transitional period which might see them drop points that you'd normally expect them to get.

Fulham is hard to judge since I've only really watched the Liverpool game they had, and considering how bad we're at the moment, it's hard to see if they're actually playing decent or just looked good against us.

Fulham is good going forward and it all comes down to Mitrović, I belive only Haaland has better underlying stats when it comes to shots and dangerous situations. I don't think this Chelsea side will be able to stop Fulham but they should be able to score something.

My bet goes on both to score here and I am hoping for easy money here. Pool result is much thougher to predict, I am leaning towards high scoring draw like 2:2 at the moment.

To make things even harder to predict, Chelsea will have a new coach for the game.

Usually this should make things easier and not harder but of course it is not always the case.Whenever a new coach comes he will do anything in his power to win the first game to show the management that they have made the right decision and that he started his duty with the right foot.

Alexander Mitrovic is a great player and seeing Chelsea defense against Dinamo Zagreb the best bet here is to bet on Fulham to score at least one goal.That would be an easy bet to be won.As if Chelsea will score or not there are more doubts here than in the Fulham ability to score.

Just to be clear, and that you don't get the wrong idea. I wish you the best of luck, but you're not allowed to overtake me at any point in this season, at least from now Tongue

. It's not sanctioned, I'm sitting comfortably in my 42nd slot with .5 more points, and I'd like that to be respected Cheesy

What's good about starting very low is that these's a high probability of you going up and up in the future.

I particularly didn't do so well this game round too, I ended up with just 7.5 points.

I'm not yet so worried about the leaderboard to be honest and I don't even pay much details into it, neither do I let the leaderboard cloud my judgements, I know all that would change as the season progresses and all users in the prize positions begin to get a bit conserved and there are even lesser picks for probable upset. I'm currently more focused on chasing well above average points for each game week.

Well, you are succeeding in that, mate.

what can I say, I already said few times that City will win this season easily, although did not expect to see Liverpool this bad

Yeah, I didn't think so. I thought Haaland would be injury prone like he has been in his career, and I thought they would miss Sterling to an extent. The opposite is true, and I've been made to look like a fool. Isn't Haaland on 12+ goals already? He's practically already won the golden boot at this rate, and City look to have already secured the league, apart from maybe Arsenal. However, going by Arsenal's injury rate, they'll soon start picking them up, and won't be able to compete.

Quote from: casperBGD on September 07, 2022, 11:04:24 PM

regarding Superbru, you have "Round results", and there you can pick any round to check results in that particular round (it is a drop down many, first from the left)

Cheers for that. I found what I was looking for anyway, round 6 last round. I was fourth which isn't bad, seems like I'm starting to pick it up. I've actually had some decent score predictions which have landed, it's just other games that I've predicted wrong, and end up having zero cancelling out my exact predictions.

Round 6 I got zero from the Liverpool game, and Bournmouth as well as the City game, and Arsenal. I went for a draw on the City game hoping that could potentially net me some points others wouldn't get. Obviously, City are on fire so probably won't be doing that again.

I'm not doing great, but on the other hand I'm already doing better than last year....so result?

I'm starting to get a feel for the forms of teams. Arsenal, Man City looking the early title contenders to me, which I'm definitely surprised by Arsenal. Nice to see though. Tottenham, and Chelsea are looking something between poor, and mediocre.

Breaking news! 🚨🚨 "Chelsea Football Club part company with Thomas Tuchel"

possible replacements (rumours): Graham Potter or Pochettino.

Pochettino...... Really?. i think doesnt match with Chelsea mentality. Graham Potter.... can be a blind bet first time in a big team... i like him and how Brighton plays, its really solid, but..... you know in big teams you have big players with a lot of ego.

The only good its now Tuchel its available for other teams.

I really don't believe Tuchel dismissal was down to Chelsea's early struggles , I strongly believe there are a number dressing room crisis to go with this, and you can tell from Tuchel's gesture on the sideline too in recent weeks too.

Pochettino would be a really good choice imo, he's very familiar with league, but what I'm not certain about is if he's can meet up with the pressure and what's expected of him as a Chelsea coach.

I think he deserves it after that pathetic performance of yesterday against a team that plays in much weaker league than the Premier League.They played really poorly in yesterday first encounter against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League and things were not well even before this game but this game put an end to everything.

From the two new possible replacements I would love to see Pochettino in Chelsea,he build a great Tottenham which are we now seeing the results of course without removing anything to Conte but the base was built by him.

For me it was a terrible weekend for pools and for cash betting: first I lost a multibet because of Bayern, then I re-entered and lost because of City and yesterday I ended up betting on the teams that I hate - PSG and Barcelona Grin

however yesterday they helped me to win back a significant part of the losses. And today United again presents a pleasant surprise Cool

Great end to the tour.

people keep underestimating Man Utd,, well don't mind me i'm just gonna keep backing them (:

First serious team Arsenal will play against, what could go wrong? lol too bad i couldn't get the 3 pts in our pool, that would've been the icing on the cake

Exactly. Arsenal are not the kind of team that is now capable of setting records (and 6 wins at the start would be a repeat of the record that only a few teams have managed to do in history). We must seize the opportunities while United are still underestimated. In the next round, 2.12 for United's away victory against Crystal Palace does not look so bad.

I want to make an analogy to this statement and why it may very well come true in the future.I take part also in another pool,the F1 one and I started the first two rounds at the very last place,we are very few people there 12 in all and it is very difficult to move up,more difficult than in a pool with more than 60 participants,yet by being persistent now I am from 12th place to 5th place and with just 1.5 points distance to the third place.

What I want to say is to not worry we have still another 32 rounds to play and things will change dramatically until the end of the season,so as long as you are down like I am in this pool also chances are high that we perform better in the coming rounds.

I also from the seven games got only 2 right but luckily got one exact score and one close,Chelsea exact and Tottenham close the only results I got right.I never thought Liverpool to not win against a much weaker Everton but the biggest surprise for me was the win of Bournemouth that they turned things around in the second half from 2-0 to 2-3 and I considered them the worst team yet together with Leicester of the Premier League,now they are in mid table.

Manchester City I guess everyone will get a point as a minimum.
