Wow after two weeks I am leading the pack and this is an amazing feeling.I never knew I would manage even for just a week to be at the top of the leaderboard. I guess it is because I found 8 results out of 10 games and this gave me 2 slam points which led me to the top of the leaderboard,great going so far.

Well you along with Sojourner ( buwaytress(?) ) and Harkorede had the exact same points for now so yeah you will need to keep getting all those correct results prediction if you want to stay on top

congratulations to you guys for this very good score.
i was able to climb up 19 places after this matchday and had predicted my first exact result with the match arsenal vs. chelsea 0-2 Cheesy

i am already looking forward to the next matchday with the game liverpool vs. chelsea among others

You don't need to lock your picks unless you want to take a peak what was the choices of other people in the pool. I never lock my picks so I can tinker with them until match starts. Not that it helps me, usually ends with me getting less points then what my initial pick would bring.

I didnt know that we can choose not to lock it and it will be automatically locked, thats fancy. I locked in my predictions like way ahead sometimes and I thought we had to lock it manually or else it will be counted as not making any predictions for the match. Good to know, might be useful in case I need to change my prediction before the match start

Too bad I didn't lock my pick on the West Ham vs Leicester City game

Didnt you lock it?

or was this the default picks from Superbru because most of our pools chose Leicester to win so you are locked with Leicester to win as a default.

Not that it helps me, usually ends with me getting less points then what my initial pick would bring. All picks get locked in automatically when the match starts.

Also I am quite sure that default picks are taking preffered pick from whole Superbru community and not just our pool.

I didn't lock it, I was actually talking about the temptation of changing it, If it were to be locked I wouldn't have had the imagination of trying to change it, changing it really wouldn't have mattered because I would have gone for 1 - 0 win for West Ham if I were to go for West Ham. It just isn't my week yet I'd but still, so far so good.

Whoever's backed Hammers should be smiling, which is the bookies and about 18 of you;) Leicester haven't got a single shot on goal and then Perez does the dirty on Fornals, can't argue against the sending off really. Going to be a long night for Brendan Rodgers if he can't claw his way back into this. Don't know what I was thinking, they did look suspect against Wolves heh.

but my pick has been Leicester City

Well at least the default picks will helps you get some points in case if Leicester win but if its a draw or West Ham win then Tomahawk9 is going to win the Yellow Cap for the week so goodluck to either one of you. Its not looking good for Leicester though, 1-0 for West Ham and a red card for Leicester.

Meanwhile Im sitting at 26th lol, I should have done better to get the top ten spot this season

Too bad I didn't lock my pick on the West Ham vs Leicester City game, now I'm second myself looking at the line up, it's tough to make some picks, but it's even tougher today that the week is literally dependent on it... Everyone (including the Bookies) is fancying West Ham to win or draw, but my pick has been Leicester City since I made my picks during the weekend... I'm probably going to stick with my guts here, I hope I'm right though Cheesy

It looks like this round winner will be tomahawk if West Ham wins,we have the same result 2-1 for West Ham.I think Leicester stands no chance right now as they got a red card.I am still happy that will get the close points plus a slam point and overall I am doing pretty well in the leaderboard so far.

I had draw as well and that game dropped me way down in rankings. Did not watch the game but from what I read and saw in stats Wolves deserved something from that game. Probably even a win.

did not watched the match as well, but had Wolves to win in the pool, and expected to have that one, but obviously fast goal by Tottenham took them down psychologically, and they could not score, although having good statistics
since I was on the bottom until the middle of the season, everything in the upper part is great, and I happy with the start after two rounds
missed Everton as well, expected a win from them, I think that Leeds will struggle this season, but ended as a draw

consensus on United win is a surprise for me, although we all pick United to win, so should not be surprised

I stand with Ukraine.

I have no exact predictions in this round so far, but I hope my West Ham - Leicester prediction will do the job.

I just locked it at 2 - 2, and I can see that 15.9% of us did the same.

Good Luck to all of us! Especially I need it, cos I'm down from 16th to 31th place. Grin

Right now we have 47 players:

We are so close to the addition of another 0.1 BTC to the prize pool. Am I right that we need just 3 more participants? Because it looked like we needed 4 just 3 hours ago.

I was even more surprised to see that 83% of the pool backed Tottenham to win away at Wolves. Ultimately they did win, I went for a draw and that one will probably cost me the yellow cap.

Looking forward to West ham - Leicester tonight, I expect a good game with lots of goals. My bet goes on both to score but ML is very tough to predict so still waiting on my pool prediction.

Yeah, things like these can be quite surprising. The pool consists of 40+ people, the 100% conviction on United winning away from home is an anomaly.

There was a huge conviction on a Chelsea win as well, but considering my love for Arsenal that one I do understand. Bookies however trusted Arsenal way more than us here.

Don't forget there's a game on tonight. The Monday games seem to catch a lot of people out. This one is hard to call a winner so will probably go for the draw.

Not the greatest round for me, my fault for relying on Manchester United Wink

. Liverpool on the other hand have been brilliant for me, scoring me maximum points for their game both weeks. I might need to start watching some of the other teams in the Premier League to actually get a little closer on the scores. I thought Manchester United's hype after the Leeds game was unwarranted.

Manchester United I think let us all down today,I thought they would manage to win but Southampton is a strong team when playing in their home field so not that a big upset for me.At least I got the correct score in Tottenham game today which is keeping me in the top ten for two consecutive weeks so far.I think in both remaining games of this week I will manage to get some points more hopefully and let's see how things unfold in the future.So far is really tight at the top.

Surprisingly not a single person backed the draw or even a home win.

By the way, if anyone still wants to play this week is probably the last chance to sign up without missing out on a lot of points. Superbru gives you 15 'default picks' if you miss the games based on the most likely result and if you sign up now you will be given six points automatically. The current bottom of the table player has 7 points so you'll only be one point behind them and the first place has 26.5 so there's still everything to play for. If we can get 4 more players the pot will be at 0.2 and first place will probably be 0.1. Don't forget the person who also gets the highest points in the weekly round receives a free £50 bet from sportsbet as well and there's 32 chances to win them throughout the season. Just PM me if you want to play but can't pay just yet and I'll give you until the end of the month to do so.

I think we will see these picture more often.
There situation is worse them I imagined.
Arsenal suffered from absences and injuries. Perhaps the team needs time, but the team's statistics are very negative and frightening, as he did not score in two games and received 4, the next few weeks may be the end of Arteta.

Really bad luck with the Covid isolations, IMO. I'm also not fully convinced by their new signings, though Arsenal could actually turn out to be the place for them to shine. I always felt they're suspect as a team -- there's very little in way of spine, something we mistakenly thought Arteta solved midway through last season.

I'm with Trofo about the kids though. I really, really like Saka, but I can sense he's not fully recovered from the EURO incident.

Statistics are mostly useless and you can always find something to boost your argument. For instance I could have said that Arsenal is best team in league after Brentford game since they had most shots among all teams in the league

Arsenal started with bad results but I sort of like how their kids are playing. I think they will be solid after couple of game weeks, nowhere near CL spots but still top half of the table. I can't hold this game against Chelsea against them since Chelsea is arguably strongest team in PL at the moment and I am expecting them to take a lot of points in next couple of games even though they are playing against: Liverpool, Spurs and City in next 4 games.

That they will, but that is still way below their expectations and status in the game. Arsenal is in a freefall, both on the pitch and off of it. Their team is unbalanced, overly expensive and without enough overall quality. I respected them a lot under Wenger - they always managed to be challenging for trophies without much investment. Now it comes to the fact that I look at their roster and dismiss them as top4 contenders even before the first game of the new season starts.

Quote from: buwaytress on August 22, 2021, 11:03:41 AM

Nicely done so far toma and cryptofrka, who climbed 25 and 14 spots respectively after 8 games on Match Day 2! Worthy mentions for Joca and Casper who climbed 22 and 18 spots. We do have two more games so everything can change quickly.

I saw no-one predicted anything other than a United win, very surprising for me actually, but I supposed we all remembered the 9-goal haul United had against Saints. As Welsh says, some overhyping in the end. Ruined a big acca I had going too... my only bet left now is an Arsenal upset, but I know I'll get itchy for the Monday game.

Kinda ruined it with the Spurs game, went for a draw there. It will all come to the WH-Leicester game, I need an exact score to win the round Grin

I had also Chelsea 2-0 and tomorrow I am also playing for the top spot although I don't have many chances.My only possibility is to get a correct score to the Leicester game and this will also give me another slam point because it is the 8th result I will find if I manage to find it.Also I need for the other persons to not get the correct scores.Mathematically I think I am a candidate for the top spot tomorrow although I don't expect anything,I am pretty happy with my results so far being number three on the leaderboard.

I had the correct results on Chelsea scoring two goals but I had some confidence over Arsenal since it’s a derby and at Home and they should score one since they failed to get one last round also but Arsenal is going to be Arsenal their next match is going to be against Man City at Etihad so I will be glad to see them sink rock bottom.

I've got Chelsea for a flawless victory, but let's see how that goes.

And Bang it was! I'm now joint on the first position for the week, just one more please ??!

Arsenal were literally threatening in the opening minutes, but lacked the real cutting edge. Chelsea are in the process of building a really great team, and Lukaku seemed like a perfect missing piece they needed upfront, his work ethics is just superb!

Crazy from Man United, you'll know it was a tricky result when no one from the pool went that way, not sure even the infamous upset master (Buywatress)... It's still a great week for me so far, joint 2nd position with two games to go, I've got Chelsea for a flawless victory, but let's see how that goes.

I think it had something to do with how Southampton lost a ton of players to transfers before this season began so while ManU and So'ton have a track record of drawing, nobody could really predict that Southampton could manage another draw, let alone United underperforming so much from last week.

I'd agree that most people went with Man Utd blindly not because of how bad they expected Southampton to be, but rather how good Man Utd were last week, at least 2 users went for Leeds to win or draw last week.

Quote from: NotATether on August 22, 2021, 01:40:26 PM

Does anyone want to tip that Arteta will be sacked if Arsenal lose goalless their third match in a row?

I don't think he'll get sacked that soon into the season, even though there is a possibility of losing goalless in the third game as well, they'll be facing Man City at the Etihad stadium next week.
