Even though I gained three points thanks to the Chelsea game this week, there wasn't a big change for my place in the standings. But my performance was better compared to last weeks. I hope that Everton manage to win the match by 2-0 whose first half ended goalless.

The game ended in a 3 -1 win for Everton, I actually had 2-1 Prediction... What a strange game that, It ended goalless at halftime and all 4 goals from both sides came within 13 minutes interval, I hope the goal would stop after Everton took the lead, but it was only matter of seconds after the play resumed before they doubled their advantage.

Not the best of weeks for me, I'm all the way down to 19th position in just two weeks Sad

Well done indeed to you and also slaman29 for getting top points shared with you. Have never been this long at or near to the top myself, but definitely, going with the favourites has proven an effective strategy as when there are upsets like at Spurs no one else gets it anyway.

Thank you, you know this is not even really my league, but you also know in La Liga I am doing very badly, so it is a little small shame for me. But EPL is like DIA7 says. Just put the same "safe" score for the big teams and they are more consistent than in other leagues. Last season I tried many draws instead of total upsets like a few of you do and it didn't do well.

It feels good to be again in the top of the standings and I am not getting used to it yet although I am here since three consecutive weeks together with this.I am also in the fight for the yellow cap but I highly doubt I can do much better in the remaining game of Everton,most probably everyone in the pool has predicted an Everton win which is the most common prediction.

Need to stick to my guns more too. Switched Liverpool scores to 0-4 before the game. Strange more people went for that score than 0-3!

Thanks.I also had Liverpool 0-3 but changed it to 1-3 because I thought Leeds at home should surely score a goal and Liverpool is much better in their attack than their defense.I never imagined myself to stay this long in the top and I think tonight or maximum next week I am leaving for good (going down a few positions) as I have never won tickets when I have bet on Premier League games,it is really strange that I am finding even correct scores now,probably because I play for fun here and not to win money,of course the final aim is to get a share of the pool but it is different than betting exclusively to win money.

I personally have little doubt about the quality of Liverpool's scoring form. Something is wrong there (just my opinion). Mane doesn't want to assist anyone, TAA also had some irrational attempts. Because of that, I expect only 2:0 for Liverpool.
From the Leeds side, they always attack, especially if they are in minus. which opens up a serious attack to fill their net which would happen that Mane was not selfish in few chances.

Missed the first half, so haven't even seen the Salah goal but he won me my HT 1x2 bet AND Salah any time to score, so I couldn't be happier, really. Reading the stats and analysis made me double down on another 2nd half Liverpool win and Fabinho seems to have won me that early.

Struijk off now for that tackle on Elliott... normally positive for a team 2 goals in front, but only problem is I predicted 4-0 and if Leeds park the bus after this, it's going to be tough...

@DIA7: good tip on 2-1, it's the most common score and close score for favourites to win, even without looking stats up, it's how you get 1-0, 3-2, 3-1 all covered for close scores as well.

Quote from: Joca97 on September 11, 2021, 02:05:50 PM

I think Norwich cant do a single thing in this league,its like they are lost. Arsenal winning against the worst team in the league gets them the points on the board and maybe they wake up after this.

It's really strange, isn't it? The last time they got promoted just 2 seasons ago, also as Champions, they went right back down finishing bottom of the league, scoring barely half a goal per game. At least that time, Pukki seemed to get them off to good scoring at times, including THAT famous comeback win against Citeh.

This time, one penalty is all they've had in 4 games. It's really looking grim for them.

Just checked the league table, how the hell have I got 0 EXACT scores, damn it. I have 21 CLOSE but 0 EXACT. That sucks man, I’m 41/48 in the league. If even 8-10 of those CLOSE are EXACT I’d be in the top 10. Just shows how one goal can totally mess you up.

Oh well, a long season ahead.

since I'm 2nd now in the pool I'm well equipped to give some tips regarding getting exact scores.
Try to put tge most commun score like 2-1 1-0 for the potential winner in all gameweek surely you will get 1 or 2 games that going to end with that score like this week we had 3 out of the 8 games end with 1-0 results choosing Arsenal an Man City to get the winner is easy while for Brentford vs Brighton that was though to predict but at the end you could have got 6 points from those two matches.
I didn't use the strategy a lot in EPL pool but I'm using it in Laliga Pool where I'm also ranked 2nd but tied in points with first also I have tge most exact score there.

I'm simply living my best life, seeing those green arrows next to my name for second consecutive GW, hell yeah. I'm up 7 positions in the leaderboards and have a half-point lead before the final two matches for the yellow cap. Furthermore, i have 21 points off exact scores (the most in the pool so far), which is crazy given how bad i was at this time of year last season.

<...>how the hell have I got 0 EXACT scores, damn it. I have 21 CLOSE but 0 EXACT. <...>

Ahh shit, if this makes you feel any better, there is one more player with 🍩 points off exact scores, you are not alone. You will get it right at some point, it will turn... Tongue

Palace/Tottenham

Tottenham was due a slip-up imo, lucky wins over City and Wolves, not really that convincing at home vs Watford, lucked out on a free-kick. Son was out for the game, so were Sanchez and Bergwijn. Kane played three times for England in less than a week, not sure his fitness is right where it should be. Palace were so much better even before the red card, i'm not surprised at all.

I think everyone today lost points on Tottenham as that was the biggest surprise of this week.I lost the top position but I am happy because I thought like I would lose like 8-10 positions with the results of today.The reason I am still really near the top,is the correct score from Manchester United game and of Chelsea.This week is almost over with only two games to go and I think we will see wins of Liverpool and Everton in these remaining games.

It's really pathetic, I didn't even remember that I had Tottenham in a parlay, that's a potential 11 mBTC gone down the drain, all that could have been left is Liverpool to win against Leeds tomorrow [...] Not looking any good for me in the pool this week as well, I've only gathered 6 points so far.

The same thing, because Tottenham was included in a couple of my express bets, at that time the victory of Spurs seemed more than obvious to me, (btw, I forgot to mention ... that in this match, Crystal Palace scored his 500th goal in the PL). But regarding the pool, I was definitely more fortunate than you, because despite the 6 points I gained, I went up in the ranking by 5 positions.

Waking up I can't believe that Tottenham lost ... I couldn't even imagine that even with a red card, their defensive tactics would not work against a team like Crystal Palace / God, Kane never touched the ball in someone else's box, I'm not sure if this has happened before. In general, the Day of disappointments ... Ronaldo plays for Manchester, West Ham United did not score a single goal ... I hope tomorrow at least Liverpool will not disappoint us. Undecided

Ronaldo has indeed made quite a story for his return, he's given the fans something to always look forward to, what show from the team.

Arsenal are playing with quite some urgency, and I'll still tip them to get their first win today..

in the end, I have put Arsenal win as well, they were topped in first three rounds, but managed to win today
it was far from easy, but they won after all, and it is a light in the tunnel, how far is the tunnel end is the real question

League is strong, but not that strong to see Arsenal struggling for relegation, it seems

Arsenal was struggling hard in this match but thank god they won.At least 1-0 and got 1.5 points from it,but most of us betted on Arsenal to win.I think Norwich cant do a single thing in this league,its like they are lost.Arsenal winning against the worst team in the league gets them the points on the board and maybe they wake up after this.

I guess I was right after all, Ronaldo is the only difference for all 3 pm games at halftime, If not all 6 fixtures would have ended goalless.

Actually, seemed that hilarious was right most with Ronaldo getting in all the tricks and love, that's what I call picking up where he left off!

Anyway, 13 goals for 7 games is still not bad at all, and jayce the only one with a slam point so far, but Chelski already up thanks to Lukaku (who else?) so that should get ALL of us back on track. Another unanimous Chelsea win on this one for all 48 of us.

I'm off. Time to go to bed and recharge for Liverpool!

Put all my picks in, going for a super-scoring weekend;)

Quote from: LFC_Bitcoin on September 08, 2021, 09:53:28 AM

It’ll be interesting to see how this develops. I imagine all the PL clubs will cooperate to try & fight this. Brazil is on the red list for UK travellers so I think there could be a legal case to fight this.

Yeah, odds changed as well. Took an early bet before international break and best odds was just above 16/10, but after all that drama, closer now to 18/10.

Will be some quality missing from this match without those 4 Brazilians but I'm still hoping for a lot of entertainment served up. Definitely would like to see some solidarity from the English FA about this. These aren't at all regular circumstances and as cryptofrka puts it, this isn't a Liverpool or Leeds problem. Next break, it could be any other country abroad doing this if precedent is allowed.

Super-scoring weekend ? where on earth did you get that impression from, I'm of the opinion that's it not going to an goal-fest weekend, even though the heavy favorites are almost all facing less stronger teams, I just assumed the break would take it's toll on the players, I'll likely be leaving my picks within the range of 2 or at most 3 goals.

I think there could be three plus goals in the Leicester/City, Man U v Newcastle and Leeds V Liverpool games. I've gone for 3-0 on the Man U game but if Ronaldo is starting I might add another one or two on there. Games like Brentford V Brighton, Watford/Wolves and Southampton/West Ham could be bore draws though and I don't expect many goals if any if those ones.

I guess I was right after all, Ronaldo is the only difference for all 3 pm games at halftime, If not all 6 fixtures would have ended goalless.

Arsenal hungry for a first win and looking to get it versus Norwich? Chelsea hoping to get the full points and stay close to Spurs? Leeds Liverpool was 4-3 last season, lest we forget?

I hope Arsenal get 3 points today, the match is subscription only in my market and I'm not seeing any highlights yet. Go Gunners!

Arsenal are playing with quite some urgency, and I'll still tip them to get their first win today..
