22 pts lead (need to wait for City tomorrow)...Liverpool are so good, they turned the EPL into a farmers league and made the Ligue 1 look competitive LOL

Heh! I've got 1.5 points so far...C'mon, Manchester United! 2-0 win and and i'll get 3 pts. FFS! i don't want the wooden spoon 

Indeed! 

So far the outcome of my feelings

Leicester vs Chelsea; with a 2 - 2 draw, I was right on hesitating to pick Leicester to win.
Bournemouth vs Villa; I had hard time and got lucky. Ended up with a correct score. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Palace vs Sheff; again lucky here to manage to get 1.5 points
Liverpool vs Southhamton; can't go wrong. Always win with them.
Castle vs Norwich; I have not watch the match but what was going wrong there? Castle could not manage to get any point!
Watford vs Everton; seriously! Until the first 45 minutes they were leading by 2 - 0 and then in two minutes 2 goals from Everton to equalize and the end of 2nd half another goal for Everton. Won the match by 2 - 3. Isn't it 2nd time Watford lost a match from 2 - 0 lead?
West Ham vs Brighton; poor West Ham. Even after 2 - 0 lead in the first half, they had to share the points.

Coming up, Utd match. Another unpredictable team.

Well. This is what I call me just not being able to get it right. Of course, the one time we actually make it to 3-0 Salah goes and scores another haha. But hell, I'd give up my points any day to get Salah another goal. Hattrick of assists for Bobby, man we tried to get Minamino to score didn't we?

Anyway @hilarious you turned out to be right after all for 2 draws out of the 5 you picked. Congrats on the 2-2s for the few who did. But tell you what, Watford and West Ham should have won their games... but for 2 minutes of madness on both halves' injury time for the former and an own goal on the latter. Damn! What a Saturday of entertainment though!

It's same here. I always feel uncomfortable to go with draws. In a 90 minute match how come a there won't be any result LOL. So far I have gone with only one draw and looking at my consistency in the last few rounds it's very much assumable that I will have another bad round coz there will be a lot of matches that will have draw result.

Is there any pro tip for me 😜

Look:
Leicester vs Chelsea - I am confuse
Bournemouth vs Villa - I am confuse
Palace vs Sheff - I am confuse
Liverpool vs Southhamton - Confident that Liverpool will win
Castle vs Norwich - Castle should win
Watford vs Everton - I am confuse
West Ham vs Brighton - I believe West Ham to win.
Utd vs Wolves - Confuse, Utd sucks
Burnley vs Arsenal - May be Arsenal but they sucks like Utd
Tottenham vs City - I am confuse.

@LFC you're coming FOR those guys right? =p But damn you all Top 16, I am Spartacus!

@hilarious: I'm just hoping for a Wolves win and regular Pool saunter, I went a bit idiot and decided to put all Jan winnings so far on Pool at just around 1.35 -- it's Anfield!

But you're right even the bookies think the matches are tough, very, very close odds on almost every game except Liverpool's. I don't like draws though so I'm going to go for (slight upsets) rather than a share of spoils but draws are probably smart. That means Watford and Wolves and... Palace for me.

You have to blame something for your failure 😉

By the way, match day today and there are several matches which are really confusing. Taking a side is really hard. For example: Leicester vs Chelsea, Bournemouth vs Villa, Palace vs Sheff and some more. Not feeling confident much in this round too.

I am also facing same situation for few years but I never blam any year I am just saying lady of luck is not happy with me so punishing me

Nah, I think it's the new year. I am seeing myself in unlucky position since the day one of this year to be honest.

In gambling I am losing
In the pool as all of you can see I am losing
In real life with some events I found myself unlucky too.

So I will blam the new year LOL

Selections submitted by me but I’m only really entering now for the chance to win a consolation prize for most points in a match week. I must do better next season.

I will pick in the last 10 minutes. 


Are you also going to change the name to "Girl"?

Predictions in!

Fuck you examplens, fuck you tokeweed, fuck you artist formerly known as Pamoldar & fuck you Mosala (not the real one though).

I am coming!!!!!!

Love you guys really but seriously - I am coming!

True story 
Good one LOL

What would the bastard examplens do?  Lolol.

19.5 is prolly the largest number of points acquired by just one player in a round this season?

Yep, definitely really tricky , hoping some signings will swing it for me ,one side or the other !!!!

Nice graphic cryptofrka- took me a while to work it out - Doh !

Holding off picking some of the matches tomorrow - waiting for the transfer window to close  

Anyone know if Bournemouth have signed anyone ? Can’t find any info, so I suppose they haven’t .
Any big names for Everton ?
Crystal Palace - Tosun from Everton - any more ?
Burnley aren’t spending or Man City ?
TIA

So is anyone else not looking forward to this round predictions wise? There's like seven matches where I can't split then and I've provisionally gone for the draw. I'll have to change some though after further research. All these could be close:

Leicester City - Chelsea
Bournemouth - Aston Villa
Crystal Palace - Sheffield United
West Ham United - Brighton & Hove Albion
Watford - Everton

I really can't back any of those teams to straight win.

Leicester City & Chelsea are right next to each other in the table and have both been shaky recently. Bournemouth & Aston Villa are separated by two points only and are both fighting relegation. Crystal Palace & Sheffield United united are separated by only three points. West Ham United & Brighton are another two separated by only two points and again fighting relegation. And then there's Watford V Everton. I'm tempted to go for a close home win but Everton are the better team but not one you can bank on so again, a draw is looking like a good option. Fuck's sake. This is going to be one of those rounds where there'll be a few draws but it's just pickingh the right fixtures which is very hard to do.

And then of course there's Burnley - Arsenal & Tottenham - Manchester City on sunday, which I can also see being close. City and Arsenal should win, but the games being away is making me worry.

The Premier league is entering the final third of the season. It was never this close before, guys

Everton and Manchester United these two destroy me as well because I lost most points on them both never give any plus to me even last time when I was on Everton 2 - 0 against New Castle and very happy with my 3 points suddenly Newcastle done magic and give me zero at end.

You think it has nothing to do with that your name is ...Girl now? 



I think all games are unpredictable in the next round. Tottenham vs. ManCity, or Arsenal game?
Liverpool is also not sure against Southampton, even if they count new easy win against WH it seems like they have relaxed. I expect now is time for Liv to lose some points in the next 2-3 games.
btw. I find somewhere stats on Superbru, most points I lost on Everton and Manchester United games, 67%. this is understandable for MU, I can't pick results against them, but Everton destroy my stats  

Well I am not playing on United for sure Too bad it will not be a good odds for Wolves not to lose. Leicester should do good against Chelsea porous defense but I will probably play both to score on this one. I will pass Watford game , I really don't know what to expect from this one.
