Honestly, I wasn't sure about Zubi either, so am half-relieved we didn't get him (same way I wasn't sure about Caicedo and all the others who sniffed at us). If the guy we want doesn't want us as much, we're better off without.

Nobody really saw much of the guy, and those that did did it in a league in which tlhe pace is quite different.
What I did see though impressed me a lot and I'm really bummed that we didn't get him.

Caicedo I didn't really rate so that 100 mil is a bullet well dodged, Lavia on the other hand I think is a player with a lot of potential.
I watched him live as well (thank you Sportsbet, I love you) and he was al over the pitch - you don't see that stuff on camera that well.

^^^ Endo's better than Gravenbersch, but Endo was overperforming and never meant to properly replace Fab. We need a real anchor there, we can't win titles without it.

I wish that I made a side bet with you in this pool instead of FPL. Tongue

However as you have also said, it is still the first round and it is very early to talk about it. Congratulations for the first yellow cryptofrka!!

Haha I just saw you added my sidebets with you, icopress and Igebotz, but aren't these sidebets for FPL? I know I suck there but I seem to distinctly remember they were for FPL Wink

Need to thank you for writing this down, I know I'd forget if I won =p

Believe it or not, I am not a Modric fan. He is, without a doubt, the greatest Croatian player ever and without him we wouldn’t have had the success we've had in the last six years. However, he lied in court to protect a criminal who siphoned money from his ex club, Dinamo, which I’ve been rooting for since I was a kid. So yeah, I’m not really fond of him, and there are plenty of us in Croatia who feel the same way.

I totally get what you mean here. I forgive players for being human, after all, things like scandals with affairs and even partying etc, especially when players are young, you sort of forgive them. We're all this way and make instant mistakes I call them.

But this kind of crime is different you have time to think about it, you have time to decide, and you still make the wrong call.

Usually this is not something I talk much about but also why I can never be a person who likes Ronaldo CR7 because of what he did with women. I know it all got settled, but he paid big money to shush the whole thing. Great footballer but when you know these things you feel like you cannot ever support them, and United taking him back, I was very happy, he made them worse.

Because he ain't a holding midfielder. He can have a good game against a weak team where the control is Liverpool's, but in a more even game I doubt he'll be considered at all - Endo will probably get the nod.

I did see a lot of potential that can be harnessed if he is allowed to play more there. He is more forward thinking than Endo in my opinion.

Quote from: cryptofrka on August 22, 2024, 05:34:41 AM

If however Gravenberch does play the 6, it will be in a double pivot with a player that isn't a 6 as well - example McAllister.
It can work temporarily - but long-term it won't bring us trophies.

Very few players have the skill set to play the holding midfielder role perfectly and not in a double pivot, reason why City suffer whenever Rodri is not playing. If you get one with some potential, he should be giving more opportunities to try it out. We will see if Slot gives him more outings there.

Speaking of reinforcements with how good Gravenbech was in the first match, the loss of Zubimendi may not be felt so much, wonder why Klopp never tried him as a holding midfielder.

Barcelona is not just broke, but also pussies for losing their best player simply because he insisted that the club strengthen the squad.

They were having issues with his wage bill as well, part of the reason they had to let him go and City were in desperate need for reinforcements which pushed it through.

I did not see Gundogan deal to return to City going through so quickly. He will make the team much better than it is, but except they plan to use Foden more on the right I still think they need a replacement down that wing for the injured Oscar Bobb.

If no one creates a spreadsheet for sidebets, I will do so after some time. That is a better way to keep track of the bets.

Barcelona is not just broke, but also pussies for losing their best player simply because he insisted that the club strengthen the squad. A fantastic deal for Manchester City; just when I thought they'd lose KDB to Saudi Arabia next season, here comes another monster. Lol

We're getting Sterling, Lukaku and Chilwell off our wages to save about £1m - I love this club man!!!

It will probably remain June 7th - they update prices a few times per year. You lost the bet for 1 cent difference Grin

I just checked status for many other players and for most of them last update was in July.
Let me wait for the end of the month and than I will send you peanuts if market value remains unchanged.

Yellow caps are just a round achievement based on total points scored. They can be shared, you will see this by looking at the Round leaderboard.

If I've announced you as the winner for the Round 1 Yellow Cap, you will still get your Free Bets (Hhampuz and leea-1334).
But going forward, the "Total Closeness" system will be used to determine who wins the Yellow Cap in the event of a tie.
Multiple Yellow Caps = Multiple Winners (still)!

This tiebreak is something that seems to come up every season, Trofo already shared the Superbru tiebreak system. Tip: you can see the actual calculation by clicking on the user's profile in Superbru, while in the pool.

Yeah makes sense, as I see that un_rank is head of rest of us even though we all have 15.5 points. But I see that you and leea both have 0 yet you are ahead, so maybe Hhampuz is right.

I got lucky with the 2 slam points I got for having 8 correct results, really boosted my score. I was about to share the image which trofo just posted, although the top 2 will still be tied, so it comes down to the total closeness which will have given cryptofrika the yellow cap.

Yep, but we have all points equally distributed. In that case I think it's alphabetical or whatever - but we should both be Yellow cap winners.
In any other case in which the points are not equally distributed, I think the aforementioned rule is applied - more correct 1pt picks, then more correct 1,5 picks.

That's just basing it off of leaderboards table, I agree that we should define it in advance. Trofo might know more, he's been dealing with Superbru for a while.

Seconded, he should have been in prison, not on the football pitch. I love him as a player, but the law should be above anything else.

Dont worry, I didnt forget about that, but date is still not updated and it is showing June 7.
In Premier League pool now you corruped Superbru to remove yellow cap from Leea-1334, so I will always support your opponents Grin

It will probably remain June 7th - they update prices a few times per year. You lost the bet for 1 cent difference Grin

I just saw the leea-1334 thing, it's already corrected. If not, I would have suggested an even split between the 2 of us.

Do we have any supporters here from Leicester I wonder, actually I always wonder in La Liga who are the supporters other than the big teams but since casperBGD left (he supports Valencia), I find no one I know well outside.

How about in this 50+ pool? Any supporter who is NOT from the big teams?

I generally dislike big teams, but since City is the only EPL team with Croatian players, I have no other option but to support them. That said, it's hard not to like Leicester after what they did back in 2015/2016. Everyone loves a Cinderella story.

Well I do care about getting rules and details and information about the current season on one page. I'm here to have fun and kick butt and knowing exactly what happens and how it happens, so I can rub it into your face when you ask why am I higher than you with the same points lol

No offence mate, but I like knowing the rules.

Does that mean you also support Real Madrid?

Now you know what I mean about how good it is to have all the rules on OP? Tongue

But here let me help you. At the end of the round, all players with same number of points are tiebreakered by Superbru.

So if you have a yellow cap next to your name, you are the winner. If many players have the yellow cap, they are all winners.
