You were unstoppable in the last round until hilariousetc got the correct score in the last match and stole another chance for you to get the yellow cap. How do you guys get 8 out of 10 matches with 2/3 correct picks. Do you get lucky in gambling like this too?

Not really 🤣
Those rounds were good cause I haven’t played a single ticket 😂
That’s how the universe is working for me, I can’t do it on both fields

Heh yeah..  The covid era.  Lol.  
You mentioned covid and immediately covid made another hit. Our game of the night between City and Everton is cancelled due to covid outbreak in City squad. I could not find exact details but after Walker & Jesus were positive last week as well as some staff now there is many new cases. There is also some talk that City will close training grounds for some time.

Big_daddy again leading, 4 correct pick out of 4! If he wins the round then he will have twice for the first time. It seems whatever he picks it turns out the correct pick. Is this luck or result of some exclusive study?

Hehe tnx mate Smiley

Well, it’s a mix of stats and feeling of the final result
I’m combining the probability of over/under scored goals and then the stats and form of both squads in the last 3 matches

Btw, I got at the end of the day all green, 1 exact, 4 close and 1 result  Cool
I’ll make now the predictions for tomorrow

In the last match I though I was going to get an exact score 0 - 1, I was praying not to have anymore goals even if by chance a goal scored then let Tottenham to score. In stress I was making juice for my girl and saw Wolves scored. My pick messed up.

I am still waiting for a good round and I have no clue when will it happen. 🥴


I had a memory lose issue yesterday and I think it was when Liverpool was in progress 😂
We really missed a golden chance to manage another 3 points.

Edit:
Forgot to mention, I had this at the beginning.



Then after the equalize I had another bet and this time it was in win-draw-win market. Lost both obviously. It's wrong that boys never disappoint me, they do sometimes and I think it's okay.

Heh yeah..  The covid era.  Lol.  Lots of weird results and unexpected outcomes.  Who would've thought the table would have the Merseyside clubs at the top by December.  Cheesy  There's the same weirdness at La Liga and Serie A...  But it's good for the game imho.

Temporary forum vacation
Hard game for Wolves today as they're not the team from last year and Uefa League aswell. Now, they concede goals much easier, they don't have 3 important players from last season and furthermore they're no in big shape...like only a few players are on top of their game or close to last year.

And still they can steal points from the big teams AND worse of all, steal points from my Spurs. I think as their own manager said before,,, if the existing guys like Adama Traore can step up,,, which he surely has, just like the way Pedro Neto stepped up to take the scoring burden,,, they will continue to stay in the league. Love seeing the way they play to be honest even if we lost points.

Anyway, happy to be back in the top 10!

Congratulations hilariousandco! Strong performance Cool

I'm resting a bit at #1 on this ranking and trying not to disappear back into obscurity in the next few weeks. Last round with +8 ranks was quite OK... but you guys are a very strong competition for me here and so I have to be really careful all the time.

I am and feel like how you described, brother. I only perhaps just stay on forum right after and do a show of nonchalance. My kid (a self professed United fan, by the way) eggs me and I just shrug and pretend I expected it.

Congratulations to @hilariousandco who took yellow cap from big_daddy by predicting exact score on Wolves - Spurs game. It's something incredible that after 15 rounds nobody haven't got yellow cap more than once. It shows how conpetetive our pool is. Unfortunately, there is just 38 rounds in EPL, while there is 48 of us here Cheesy.
Another race for golden cap will begin tomorrow - we have 3 round 16 games on Monday, don't forget to make picks.

Gotta say, yeah, I'd have thought someone would have won it twice by now. Just goes to show as you said. This pool has the best bastards in the forum =p

~snip

it is games like this one that could decide a season, could not say that I am not happy, since it is still 15 weeks already, and Toffies are on position two after this round, it is pretty damn unbelievable to me, and there is only three points difference between LFC and Everton

on the other hand, I do not think that Everton could done the title, so it is better for a city rival to take it than Tottenham, so yeah, this draw is not the best what could happened this weekend, and Tottenham scored within seconds from the start, they succeed to have a corner and goal within first minute

I've given up VAR thinking much now. Now VAR comes up and I just expect the worst. It has been kind to Liverpool past 2 games now, but overall nett negative still this season, just as it was nett negative last season. Couldn't really care less now, I never liked the implementation, not against the tech, but EPL are awful at implementing.

I'm so-so okay with my results so far. I tried a 4-2 city win trying to be clever haha. Serves me right for getting only 1 point.

VAR ruins enjoyment of the game, you can’t celebrate a goal properly any more because you’re always worried about VAR chalking it off.

Like you say, great tech but it’s being used by the same idiots who were making mistakes every week as referees.
We’ve (LFC) been negatively affected by VAR the most out of all 20 teams, that is fact by the way, not opinion. I saw a list detailing teams wrongly, negatively affected by having goals taken away & we were the worst affected.
We’re still top though with a crippling injury list most of the whole season.

And I’ve sucked in our pool for the second match week running grrrr!

Yup! I honestly just don't celebrate anymore now when we score. Only when kickoff happens again from center field do I let down my guard. You literally have to wait 5 full minutes now to confirm anything.

And yes, ESPN tracks Var nett counts. I believe we were 2nd worst nett negative last season, behind Sheffield maybe?

We top it so far this season. Or bottom it with -5 now https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/soccer/english-premier-league/story/4182135/how-var-decisions-affected-every-premier-league-club-in-2020-21%3fplatform=amp

Another VAR situation. How is it possible that Southampton did not get a penalty right now? Maybe there was not intention behind it but still after you see that slow motion it does not look good. And VAR referee did not even call main ref to look at the situation.

This sort of VAR checks destroy the game, I am sure Man United would get a penalty in this situation and probably most of the other big teams.

Okay, now I may act like I am an expert who used some deep analysis to pick 3-1 for Arsenal. But in truth, I merely used gut feeling to make that pick.

Lol, good job and congrats on that one.  I am happy to have been wrong about that match.  It was nice to see the Gunners take a good win against a good team.  It seems like it's been months.

How @Webtricks was able to get all 3 points off Arsenal vs Chelsea is still beyond, was he expecting Arsenal to win ? They've scored 3 goals in their last 7 games and he picked them to score 3 tonight or was that a mere bluff ?

may i congratulate webtricks for his almost accurate prediction for the arsenal - chelsea game? Shocked
He hit the exact score with 3-1, great pick and quite risky on taking it but it paid off. It could be 3-2 but Jorginho missed the penalty. Too bad I had the other way around 1-3 for Chelsea

Okay, now I may act like I am an expert who used some deep analysis to pick 3-1 for Arsenal. But in truth, I merely used gut feeling to make that pick. This week I didn't spend much time thinking about the fixtures and picked all results in like 40 seconds. However, it wasn't bluff or risky pick, I genuinely thought Arsenal will win this one with higher margin.

So, on whole it looks like a good round opening for me. I am in top 30 for the first time. Hope that my rank will improve as the league progresses. ManU high scoring draw was shocker though.
