Have you made your picks for the next round?
I've made mine today. I chose a very unpopular draw between Wolves and Sheffield United. They beat Aston Villa in March, so while they've been on the losing streak, I think they'll try competing seriously against the Wolves and might manage to end the game with a draw. It's very unlikely, of course, but sometimes there's this urge to experiment and to follow the gut. Another unlikely pick of mine is Leeds United winning against Liverpool. While not likely on its own, I cannot forget how just 5 days ago they won against Manchester City, so now it seems possible to me that they'll win this one as well. I'm actually a bit surprised that only three people (me included) picked Leeds United as a winner so far, but many haven't made their picks for this game yet.

I might even be tempted to bet on a win for Blades -- they are staring down the abyss now and maybe will play not just for survival but for pride. But still doesn't make sense to predict a win as their form is dire, while Wolves seem to have found a way to squeeze something out of Traore.

Leeds win is actually more favourable odds than against City (who fielded Sterling who hadn't started in weeks!) but I'm for a Liverpool end-of-season revival now that Top 4 is a firm and sole target.

Two boring games tonight. Will probably stick with draws. Would have backed an Everton away win but they've been shaky the last few games and not won in all three of them.

Same here, I am also sticking with draws. I just hope it will be high scoring draws and not so boring games. Just read a bit of stats regarding Brighton - Everton and if you look at those xG stats Brighton should be 10 points above Everton and the situation is that Everton is actually 15 points above Brighton. Perfectly shows how good Brighton actually plays and how poor they are when it comes to finishing all those chances.

Even worse is that tomahawk gets the 1.5 points with that win.

Is anyone actually chasing toma? 😂
I gave up looking for the first spot long ago and I am sure no one else is going to have it except him. To my surprise I just check the round result so far and toma is leading with 6 points 🤣

Everyone is chasing him. Or at least everyone in the top 10 or so. Or at least should be. It's not impossible to beat him but his consistency has been impressive. I think any of top 5 can take him with a very good round or two though. I think it's going to be a struggle for me to get back into the top ten and stay there. It's so close around there that the positions will likely be changing every round. Best I can hope for a big win this season is the £5 bet I put on City to win the quadruple which is looking pretty doable right now. Also had a tenner on Bielsa to win a manager of the month award. He hasn't yet but I'm hoping after beating City on the weekend that if he manages a point at least from both Man U and Liverpool this month he might grab it. Both are at home for Leeds but don't know how much of an advantage that is given the current circumstances. They do have a fairly easy last month in May so maybe he'll pick it up then and maybe he deserves it for keeping Leeds up and doing as well as he has done with them.

I spent 10 weeks trying to crawl back to the winning spots, came within 5 points and then picked up 3 points from 8 games in this round.

It's incredible how hard it is to climb up in a pool of 50 people and how easy it is to f**k it up Grin

It takes great consistence to be in the top so my hat's off to you guys. I probably ruined my chances this week.

Yeah, happy birthday krypt! Hope you had a good one. Was an AMA going on just as that game was playing out too, the last goal from United broke our hearts (those doing the 21 Soccer Blackjack special but we all got our money back heh.

Slipped way back down after the day's results with bigdaddy on 11 points now. May Arsenal please not let me down today...

It was my birthday yesterday, so I didn't have time to follow the games. Turns out, they went pretty well for me. Of course, I didn't guess that Leeds United would win against Manchester City (I still cannot believe it happened, but congrats to Sojourner who picked it exactly right), but I got Liverpool vs Aston Villa exactly right and was close on Crystal Palace vs Chelsea. West Ham vs Leicester City is looking very bad right now as my pick was 0-1 with Leicester winning Cheesy

What do you think about Tottenham vs Manchester United? I picked a draw, but I know it's unlikely.

Happy B-day with a day delay then hehe. I hoped you have a great day and you had fun as long as you could have.

With the victory of West Ham there is even more pressure on teams like Spurs who is playing in 30 minutes again Man United and for Chelsea and Liverpool as all 3 of them are looking to take that 4th spot. I think United will come to play with anger today and looking for a revenge spot because if I remember well there was a massacre 6-1 last game for Spurs so yea...leaning towards over 2.5 for United.

It was a great day yesterday for us. City lost their match, Liverpool won from behind. What more can make us happy. Congrats on those winnings brother.

Yeah, Anfield hoodoo is out the window thanks to Salah and TAA, one never lets us down while the other is keen on redeeming his season, so I'll take that any time. We just need to get past this bad season, and welcome back our stalwarts next one.

Palace down to 2 quick goals, never really looked like they were getting back into the game at any point in the first half hour especially. My 2-1 pick looked really hopeful of even getting a point, but I was hoping for another Chelsea crazy breakdown ha!

We weren't playing badly at all though, so was happy to take a Liverpool win livebet even when we were down.

Damn man, you had to hit one of those surprises since you play them often, but getting it right against City and Leeds with only 10 man... Really did not see this one coming.

Even Reds delivered for you today, not the best performance but 3 points is what counts in the end. Glad Arnold got the winner, he has quite bad season and hopefully this will bring him closer to last year performances.

Thank you, thank you, I'm treasuring every bet I win against City (I still think 10/1 was actually very bad considering this was Leeds, but I'll take it anyway) and yes, getting 2 important goals in injury time today is making me feel really lucky. Trent was... more or less the same as he has been all season. If you saw most of the period in 80 mins especially he was having a really dead right foot. Counted at least 4/5 passes that were too short, and then put the ball out maybe 3/4 times. Also on an unlucky day may have had a penalty but no, this goal was even sweeter than his last assist for Jota against the Gunners.

My Spurs today! So much panic for me lol:)

Why so worried? You guys trashed United 6:1 last time around and that was away from home. You can only be better at home for sure Grin

In a bit more serious tone, my money is on United to not lose today. United is very good playing away, I believe they still did not lose a single game this season and Spurs look a bit shaken lately.

So annoying. Thought I was gonna get the full three points with the 0-0 but they were stolen from me in the last minutes of the game.

Before scoring that goal by Traore I had this in mind that you said it could end up goalless. I was like shit, I should have to change my pick based on that information and I would get some point but when Traore scored I was like, damn me!

I had 0 - 2 so I will not complain but will be happy.

You gotta respect @tomahawk9 he stole the show this season, he's hardly ever out of the top 10 weekly.

How it's even possible! Ban him in the next season 😉
Honestly speaking, incredible stuff from toma.

Anyway, yesterday I was super happy with City losing against Leeds. I had 2 - 1 pick for City and at some point I was thinking I will have a correct score but that late goal from Dallas bought me joy even there were no point for me. But when City lose a match it's Christmas for me. A draw in West Ham - Leicester match would be perfect.

tomahawk has a strange way to annoy us,,, I really really need to understand how his mind works because he is getting there every single week no matter how badly teams play! Very special season for him and I hope he is not as good next season otherwise it gets boring like City winning every week;)

Chelsea are already two goals up within the first 10 minutes, I guess that should settle the game already. They've had some really great possessions from the start.

1 point it is for most of us. Fulham killed me yesterday got 0 city also 0 now liverpool 1.5 only
Another week goes down and still down a lot of places

It still a crazy competition for 2nd to 10th position every slots is still available from grabs, I'm really just trying to get the average point each, that would probably be enough to keep a slot, but easier said than done.

Same for me.I had 1-1 Fulham and thought that they would have get at least a draw in yesterday game.In today game I don't think anyone got Manchester City correct as no one thought they would lose,although this was somewhat expected and they dominated the game against Dortmund in Champions and they were tired.I got Liverpool correct score at least and now I see I did not put my predictions for tomorrow so going right away to fill them.

^Beautiful day for me so far. 1 exact and 1 correct score, if Traore were just a bit better in front of goal I'd maybe looking at the exacts. But I don't mind at all, how many times do you see Leeds get only 2 shots on goal, convert both, and do that with only 10 men against City? Sweeter for me as I got a 10/1 ML bet on that all in injury time. Yellow cap here I come haha!

Now we just need to get Pool in front at Anfield and we'll put the home hoodoo away for good.
