Rough week for me, many wrong predictions.  All the tie matches that I couldn't have predicted, and one I did turned upside down, lol. 

Exciting week of soccer none the less.  Everton snatching defeat from the jaws of victory was a bit too amusing.  Not to take anything from Bournemouth, that was a brilliant come back in the end.

Same. I can't say that I make bold or unusual predictions, but the results are depressing - I'm near the bottom in the overall standings. So far, only 3 rounds have been completed and it is too early to talk about a critical lag, but it may soon be necessary to fight for a maximum of a yellow cap in separate rounds  Grin

Persistently stepping out of your technical area can get a sanction from the referee based on his interpretation of the rule, you provided a single image of Arteta stepping out of his area, I expected you will provide 3 or 4 to make it even admissible here.

Arteta does not keep getting away with anything, he was among the most booked coaches last season, even receiving a caution for talking to the ref after a match and for "over celebrating"... whatever the heck that is.

Someone checked out the rules finally  Grin - You're welcome.

West Ham, Manchester Utd, Chelsea are some of the team who are always confusing to me. They do not have consistency.

3 clubs without a world class goal scorer  Grin- Jackson is the worst of all, man is the worst finisher after Nunez in the league. Liverpool are going to challenge for the league title, I've seen enough of Slot football  Grin

Chelsea is back in confusion, at home can't score many goals in the previous match to be crazy because of the goal party, Chelsea is still the same difficult to win at home... Tongue

West Ham naturally lost at home because the opponent was the strongest team in the Premier League.

Now Manchester United are clowns again, will be embarrassed by Liverpool and Arne Slot successfully led Liverpool to win, so far Ten Hag remains embarrassed.

Casemiro is Harry Maguire 2 for making a blunder. Grin

Damn, almost 50% of the pool participants predicted the right score for West Ham vs. Man City. Well, not surprising since Man City is averaging 3 goals per game. It should be 3-0 if Man City own goal didn’t happen.
I almost average Manchester City's match scores above 3 goals because they always win that number, not surprisingly this team is quite thirsty in goals especially Haaland the robot man. Cheesy

Many people stuck with Chelsea predictions only two people correctly guessed with 1.5 points.

I'm only afraid of Liverpool, I don't trust Arsenal to win anything. City winning the league and the Fa cup, Chelsea winning the Conference league and we're done. Halaand is a robot. NEXT  Grin
Poor Chelsea, 1 - 1 against Palace. A half a dozen goals in the last match and in this match they had to lose a point. Utd vs Liverpool shortly and I am looking at my tv screen for a win .

Today, right now, I will say how much I hate all these teams. On the surface felt like a great game to watch (Spurs Toon) but the game grew slower than the frustration. So much technical ability on the first layer, and then scrape that away and you've got pretty disjointed teams. First goal all right, instinctive. Second goal an own goal because Pope doesn't want to grab any of his easy balls. Then the third goal because of supreme unawareness from Spurs backline.

I was entertained, but without feeling satisfied. And these aren't even teams I really support. Or maybe I'm just being difficult.

Anyway, any reason why Paid2 didn't submit his prediction for the entire Matchday 3? Did he just forget because he's active here in the forum or else?

Who is Paid2? Why is Paid2?

To replace Mudryk, he may be heading to Arsenal or Manutd Next season, the dude is uncoachable, 3 Managers, same problem, he can't even do basic things right.

Mudryk is on a 130k$ weekly, with 46-year contract. Nobody in their right minds will buy him.
If you find such idiots, they will probably expect you to contribute in a percentage of his salary.

If you're a top team and have an underperforming player on the books, it's really difficult to get rid of him. There are 10 clubs that can afford his contract and most of them will never look at a player like him.

He was a 70 mil player with future bonuses included as well - a horrible deal you won't easily get out of. And if you manage to do it, it will be another horrible deal for you - I do agree keeping him might be even worse though.

Bro rules are rules, stop acting like you do not know the rules - coaches stepping away from the technical area is an offense, first time ( warning) second time( yellow card). Your manager keep getting away with this attitude. Well, "Football is for everyone"

Yes, an easy win for you again this season. Leave a neutral if you can but I prefer CLS63 adding to the spreadsheet.
I left a neutral feedback reminding the side bet. All set for us. Do you really think it's going to be an easy win for me? City is unstoppable. Haaland scored again and now he has 7 goals from 3 match LOL

You really do not make trolling fun when you just make up things, there is no such rule that coaches get booked if they step outside their technical area, all coaches do it, I do not think Guardiola was booked last week for stepping on the pitch even. If anything, I will point out that Arteta gets booked more often than many other coaches and I will want some consistency there too, but I am not getting drawn into that discussion as you will just spring up another comment not related to that after.

That's your manager encroaching opponent's technical area.

Yes very inconsistent and that's the only reason he didn't book Arteta for stepping out of the technical area - he should be getting booked for this, but he's always getting away with it.

Halland hatrick again, he is already running away with the golden boot and it is still August. Scoring more than every other team in the league is ridiculously good.

Pedro kicked the ball away in an obvious manner in the first half, was very silly of him and no yellow card, so no it was not a yellow card all day cause the referee was not consistent.
Game is done and we look forward to the North London derby next.

You have an obligation to buy Sancho at the end of the season, there is no obligation for Arsenal to buy Sterling after the loan spell, very different deals. So yes, he is in your books and you are paying him to play for us.

Score 10 goals  for you and we get £60m next season for profit - better than playing with the reserved team while collecting £300m+

No, Rice tapped the ball away in a very cunny fashion, a very very silly of him and that's a yellow card all day.

"Obligation to buy" - technically Sancho is on our books, you can't say the same for Sterling to Arsenal. You're helping us pay the bills + game time till next season.

@BitcoinGirl.Club - Yes combined
Let's summarize. "Manchester city and Chelsea to win more trophies than Liverpool and Arsenal??."
City + Chelsea wins means you win, you get 3 mbtc
Liverpool + Arsenal wins means you lose, I get 3 mbtc

Leave me a neutral using the link of this post and we are in a good to go.

Yes, an easy win for you again this season. Leave a neutral if you can but I prefer CLS63 adding to the spreadsheet.

Sterling is finally off our book for good this season.

I have got it in my mind now. Smiley I'm going to add the side bet into the spreadsheet tonight when I'm available. And I'm going to mention everyone in the spreadsheet next Friday for them to check whether everything is okay or not. Lastly I'm going to send a PM as a reminder to everyone who has their name in the spreadsheet at the end of the season.

That red card for Rice is bullshit.  He was walking away when Veltman kicked the ball into the back of his heel.  The he gets kicked in the calf for it?  When I saw the red card I was sure it was Veltman who was getting ejected.  What the literal fuck?

No, Rice tapped the ball away in a very cunny fashion, a very very silly of him and that's a yellow card all day.

£100k off our book is huge...
Paying 200k to a player not on your books is huge

I knew in my bones Arsenal weren't quite clicking together. But I banked on them to lose and was actually fortunate for Brighton to get the point (cue red card). Something tells me they won't be the only team to lose their perfect record this weekend.

A rare collector's item also today with Traore's goal. I suppose he's thriving a lot more out of Wolves, who themselves seem to be doing ok even with their best player leaving. Mbeumo reminding us FPL people we forgot about him. DCL back on the scoresheet and with a nice assist. Foxes and Saints rediscovering the grim joyless grind of Premier League. And there's still 20 minutes to play.

Not a bad weekend eh?

I have no issue interpreting the rules by the books but you should be consistent with it and the referee was not consistent. Veltman not getting a yellow card for kicking Rice is another decision I did not understand. Even without Rice touching the ball, there was no kick on at the time.

This. Taken out of the game, this incident deserved a yellow card -- so the sending off. They both should have been carded, both trying to be silly and fked around, both should have found out.
