Damn.. I got a new strategy. Whenever I’m thinking of picking 2 - 1 or 3 - 1 for a match up, I’m gonna make the pick 1 - 2 or 1 - 3. Cheesy

I have been doing bad all season long.. So meaning I should’ve started fading myself a couple or so months ago! Lolol.

Edit: Just checked the table. West Ham is fifth. All hail the genius Moyes! Cheesy

West Ham have been around for a while, I've missed numerous points by pick their opponents this season, and that's solely because it took me quite a while to notice their performance.

Quite a number of tough matches to pick from, Tottenham vs West Ham and Arsenal vs Man City are at the pick of it, Man City have got a champions league next week while holding a significant 10 points lead at the top of the table.

webtricks's second cap now. Shame it couldn't have gone to swogerino who hasn't won one yet and missed out by a point.

Damn! I become the first one to win two Yellow Caps this season and still not in Top 30! Just shows how inconsistent I have been!

You're the second person. Stephencurry333 was the first to get a double. I'm sure we'll start to see more people winning multiples but given the large size of the pool this year it does make it pretty difficult.

This round was 12 match one so make sure to note that on the table as 19 points equals mole's record round (in a standard 10 match round).

I haven't been following the thread actively, can you tell me what consensus we have reached for deciding the winner for the max points in a round? Are we going to adjust rounds with more matches to 10? For example, will my score be considered as 19/1.2 = 15.83?

It doesn't really matter because there are no prizes this year for the highest overal round. Given that we get a $50 free bet every week I didn't think it was needed, but arallmuus is just keeping track of who has won them for fun I guess but he makes a note of the number of games in that round.

Congrats to webtricks for winning the yellow cap,he beat me to that in the last game yesterday of Everton.I had 0-2 and he 1-3 so he got just 1 point ahead of me.Still I am very happy with my performance this week being the person who climbed the most positions,11 positions to come from 29 to 18th place.Looking forward to the weekend games already.

Thanks! It was a close one between us, just 1 more correct prediction which resulted in first spot for me. And congrats for ranking up to Top 20. I am still hovering in 30-40 range. Cheesy

I got both scores right yesterday. Shame I didn't do so well earlier in the round as I could've got the yellow cap.

Even I got both scores exactly right yesterday, Tongue

Don't forget that the next round starts tomorrow with Wolves v Leeds. Lots of people seem to miss the Friday games and 32 users have yet to make a pick for it.

Everton vs Man City @ 8:15pm UK time - Now my boys LFC are out of the title race I really hope Man City give Everton a good slap tonight & beat them comfortably. I don’t suppose anything else is likely given the form City are in.

Just read a great funny piece in local news, probably there was something similar in english papers as well since ours are usually just translating.

West Ham did not have a single penalty this season until they bought Lingard and he got them one. You can pull the player from United but you can't pull United out of the player Grin

That coaching just comes trough.

I managed to move from like 25th up to 8th and top it all off with a yellow cap - ever since I've been sinking like a rock.. Can't catch a break lol.

If Hhampuz is currently in 8th place, then who is currently in the lead? I saw Arallmuus post the "yellow cap" tables, but did not see the overall leaderboard, (since I cannot join your gang, I will cheer for my favorites.).

I tanked from 8th to now 16th Embarrassed

1st - tomahawk9 with 227.5p
2nd - bigdaddy with 222.5p
3rd - Harkorede with 213p

It can all change in one round though!

I duly need some sort of redemption from West Ham and Chelsea, However, I'm not sure those results will have too much impact since most users will be having similar picks.

Me too, in all honesty I’ve sucked all season. Disappointed in my performance but I still really enjoy it & it’s something to do on a weekend isn’t it, check for the results etc.

Another VAR debacle in Premier League. They were just checking a soft penalty on Maguire and lost few minutes on it when it was clear he was half a meter in offside. Is it possible that nobody sees that or would they check that only in case the ref decided to award penalty for foul on him. Stupid however you put it.

Bamford got sandwiched by two Arsenal player simultaneously and they didn't give that either. I don't understand when the lightest of touches gets a penalty or a player diving anticipating the challenge yet getting slammed by two players doesn't even get checked. VAR did overturn a penalty correctly earlier in the game though.

Well I think it's been a pretty bad round for most of us with a lot of unexpected results. I'm only on four points so far. I'm actually really surprised people got more than ten points (of which there are currently seven) given there were so many upsets. Looks like we might get another unique round winner as well as only two users out of the current top ten have won it previously (assuming I didn't miss something). The current top 3 haven't won it though so it looks like one of them could take it if they get the last two games right. Not games that are too easy to predicts though. City should win especially after Everton lost to Fulham last week but Fulham are also playing Burnley. I would have backed the home win but not so sure now.

Rofl. Yup same here. I did have a couple of nice weekends tho that got me to top 20. Other than that, nadda. And I haven’t really been interested in reading all the football news and checking all the stats this season. It’s been all UFC for me lately. You guys should get into it.

It’s fun.

@Trofo and LFC yeah I was watching the game (my kid, unfortunately is United hoho) and I was actually totally surprised they didn't give the penalty. Come to think of it, it's been a while since they got their requisite VARnalty. What's up with that?

Quote from: swogerino on February 15, 2021, 02:15:28 AM

I thought this was going to be a good week for everyone but I see the top scorers are just 7.5 points so far.I strangely see myself competing so far for the yellow cap together with many other people which are at 7 or 6.5 points.I am putting normal predictions for today a West Ham and Chelsea wins,I think we had enough of surprises for this round already.

3 points for the United draw. Absolute zero for everything else. I feel so cool.

Quote from: examplens on February 13, 2021, 12:16:16 PM

There is no doubt that Alisson is to blame for that goal. Kaban did not have to do a complicated reaction and would easily eliminate the danger, but Alisson reacted in a panic ^{at least that's what it looked like}. He then had to tell the player in time that he was there and leave the reaction to him, at the end, he is more experienced in such a situation.

I know =p I just blamed Kabak because well, he did not know his keeper would do that but yeah of course, Alisson should have shouted for it either way, I know. I just. Am being silly.

^ I won’t even look at my score. Lol. It’s prolly around 3.5 - 5.5 or something. And that’s being generous. It’s just one of those weekends that you get reminded that it’s covid era football.

And wtf is up with Klopp? Fade vs Everton? Grin
