but I hope to do fine with my predictions this season.
Let it begin from tomorrow. After few rounds we will know who is going in which direction.
I don't know if a few rounds would be enough. The situation might change radically after them due to the quantity of the rounds, I think. It would make sense if it doesn't, of course, because if people are good at predictions, they'll keep being good, whereas those who are bad will be bad, but maybe it's not how this works.
Meanwhile, congrats to rdbase for making it to the top of the board after the first day! It's a fantastic start!
What a way to start EPL. I certainly didn't see Leeds scoring 3 goals here. And that's why I only got 2 points (Superbru) after three matches.  Grin
Current Top 5. The Cream of the Crop after those matches.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY saw Leeds scoring 3 goals let alone almost setting up a draw only if Salah didn't score that penalty thus allowing him to complete his hat trick.
Yeah, I'm very surprised with Leeds! Almost everyone got a point for the result there, but nobody's score was even close to the real one!

JanpriX, I got 2.5 which is also not great, but this was only one day of games, so there's plenty of time to get it right and move up to the top of the leaderboard Grin

If anyone wants to still join it's not too late as you've only missed 4 games and I only got 2 points total from them. I think even if you join now you might still get some points from the games already played as you get 15 'automatic' deferred scores during the season if you miss a game which they pick the favourite score on average for you. If you've made your picks in another league and you join ours I think they get carried over as well. Not 100% but maybe someone can check. We have 48 users so far so it would be nice to try get it to 50.

Bielsa is a good manager.  Leeds is the promoted club to watch this season imo.  And I fancy Bielsa could manage a top side in a couple of years.  United, Chelsea, Barca and Juve are prolly closely monitoring him.

If he does well with Leeds I'm sure a bigger club will snap him up at some point, but he's picky about who he manages and likes to get his own way. I'd like to see him stay with Leeds for a while and see what he can do with them. I really wasn't expecting them to play as well as they did. They did excellently. I thought they would be outclassed and embarrassed at every opportunity but they gave as good as they got and they deserved a point from that match. Shame about the penalties. If they play like that all season then they will easily finish top ten. Not sure if they can keep that up though. City game at home in a few weeks should be interesting.

I still have to install the app on my mobile. I think in the next weeks I have to check about 1736171x how it is currently standing Grin

And as you know cygan is an opponent you have to take seriously. He won our betting game for the German Bundesliga last time. And now he is also starting strong here Cool

i think it's really scary that i'm now also at the top of the table in the english pool game - but there are only a few games played and the season is still long Grin Cool Wink

You were surprised to be bastard of day one?  Cheesy

Whoa what a first half. Liverpool irresistible, Salah even more so, but Gomez and VVD slightly off the mark. Definitely gave away the second goal at any rate. But never mind. Like 2 seasons ago with Alisson, make all those mistakes first and get it out of your system.

5 goals in 31 minutes, now let's put this to bed early in second half shall we?
Honestly, crazy first half. I did not expect two goals from Leeds. Well played!
Imagine before 55th minutes Leeds scores another goal and equalize and until 80th minutes there will be no more goal! I will be panicking man. I hope we win by at least two goals margin. Good luck to the boys and us of course.

So we going to call him Mo-Pensalah for the rest of the season? Cheesy

Just checked the leaderboard,
I missed watching this game due to some technical issues I had with a small project of mine being the weekend and all.

Was surprised to see I'm on top of the leaderboard after day one. Shocked
If Liverpool had just kept to the script and kept the scoreline 3-1 (I tuned in when it was 3-2) I would of been over the moon with today's result after my first time participating in the EPL pool hosted by Sportbet.io.
Thanks goes to them and hilariousandco for messaging me when it started.

Bring on tomorrow's matches! Wink

Yep, you top the leaderboard for now and you were the only one that got 2 times exact score out of 4 games. I was so close to snatch 3 points from newcastle's match as I was the only one guessing 0-1 for the game. They had to disappoint me on 87th minutes with another goal .



Most got points from 3 matches out of 4 matches ( either exact, close or result ) while Rifmax and Big G got points from all 4 matches for the day

There is a lot of us this season and it will be tough battle to secure top spaces Smiley

Great game between Liverpool and Leeds for us the viewers, I guess managers are rather pissed when their teams concede this many goals.

Don't know if all the channels get the same feed and graphic during the broadcast. I will assume they do. Did you guys seen that awful presentation of starting line ups? It looks like somebody deliberately went out of his way to come with most hideous and confusing way of displaying them. Don't know why the persons in charge feel like they have to change something and then they change something that works perfectly and turn it in total bullshit. Very disappointed, I was always looking forward to starting line ups and now I check them on PC.

@tokeweed
Both our choices opened the account today but Salah had luck to get a couple of penalties as well. Looks nice for me after game 1 Smiley

Even though Liverpool won in this first match and with Salah's hat trick, I'm not sure Liverpool will be a tough contender for Manchester City until the end of the season. Whether it's because Leeds may be at their best or not, a defending champion like Liverpool shouldn't be a tough match in this first game against a promoted team.

Leeds 1st time behind, equalized
2nd time behind, equalized
3rd time behind, equalized
and 4th time behind but this time they did not have much time. Liverpool won!
But who would have thought the match will end up like this? I don't think anyone in any corner of the world expected Leeds to score 3 goals against the top team of EPL, against the defending champion. Leeds are here to prove something in this season for sure.

Imagine before 55th minutes Leeds scores another goal and equalize and until 80th minutes there will be no more goal! I will be panicking man. I hope we win by at least two goals margin. Good luck to the boys and us of course.
I really did not want that happen but coincidentally we had a goal at 65th minute instead of 55th and it was Leeds and indeed it was stressful to watch 3 - 3 until the penalty taken by Salah. Good start for Salah with 3 goals in the season from the first match.

Apart from parlays, I had three big singles: Liverpool WIN HT (won, phew!) at 18/10, Liverpool Over 1.5 goals at HT at 2/1 (won) and Liverpool handicap -1.5... so need 2 more goals to score heh.

Not to mention a couple more parlays, AND one special that needs Mane and Bobby to net (and oh Mane almost did damn).

Such a champage 47 minutes! And very weird ones right now... 15 mins left...
I too have few bets which I would lose if Liverpool ended up with a draw. Good to see that we won the match. It was not easy! phew!!!

Slava Ukraini!
Didn't watched first half of LFC - Leeds game and I  missed a lot... What a crazy game. I really like Bielsa as a coach and I'm sure that Leeds is here to stay in EPL and not relegate just after one season.
And it's a bit to strange to see such long table with 48 participants. Seems that our pool is going to be very competetive. And I see a lot of unfamiliar names. So, good luck for everyone!

exact result in the pool (3-0 gunners) and a winning single bet, an alright start of the season (:
I have a double bet slip, Liverpool and Arsenal to win. Arsenal has done their job now it's time for boys to show off their domination.

Quote
i think i have 1-1
I have 0 - 1 for Southampton. Still positive about it.

Palace vs Southampton has just started. I have 0 - 1 win for Southampton. Let's hope for the best.
i think i have 1-1

anyone watching the game? Sounthampton's backline is playing so high up the pitch, i'm surprised the scoreline is only 1-0, the other team should be having a field day with counter attacks, but then again, that other team is Palace, can't expect much from then  Roll Eyes strange tactics from The Saints, tho

Same pick here.  I thought 0 - 3 wasn't gonna hold for a while there.  Grin
The moment Auba scored, I was praying them to score one more goals to make it at least 4 - 0 so that those who had 3 - 0 or 3 - 1 will end up having 1.5 points LOL
It did not work.

^ ^  I got 2 - 1 for the LFC vs Leeds match.  I fancy Leeds getting the first goal.  Dunno..  

Looks like I got the first one of the season spot on! Grin

Does this qualify to get a yellow cap? Beginner's luck in the pool for me. Wink

With this being Gabriel's first appearance on the team and it was a good start for him and Willan as well.

Same pick here.  I thought 0 - 3 wasn't gonna hold for a while there.  Grin

Edit:  rdbase, nope.  Once it's locked, that's it.

Decent start for me. 1 point from 1 match. I had 1 - 2 win for Arsenal.

I did not watch the match, needed to do some work to manage free time to watch Liverpool match. There will be no chance for Leeds at all!

Let's wait for the line up.

Long way to go. Still we have 7 more matches and if you finish at the top then you will get the yellow cap.
I see okay thanks for the little bit of info on how to get it.
Once our picks are locked we can't change it before the match starts?
