Upsets didn't happen last week but maybe a Newcastle one? Is that even an upset these days with United?
I won't consider anything team beating Man Utd as upset. Choosing Man Utd to win takes a huge guts these days, really!
I'm having this slight doubt about going with Man City today, and quite a number of fixtures that I'm unable to decide between choosing a draw or the slight favorites (IMO) to win.

Gentlemen, start your engines! First game in less than 2 hours coming up. Had a bit of bad luck today minor domestic emergency so will probably miss the entire game as have to go out for a few hours but can't wait to rewatch our team beat Vardy and co, who deserve their 3rd spot atm.
2 more games to match the winning streak record by Citeh and it isn't entirely improbable but let's do this.

@micg guess I could even do that list and ask ppl to identify themselves but they probably might have some issue who knows?

Incredible week for everyone, and yeah I think somoene pointed out that this has been the first week of games where no upsets happened, I didn't really bother to check but yeah, I'm pretty sure it is as well. Draws happened as expected, I got exact scores and points for games I followed the trend, and where I thought I'd be smart (like Newcastle upset) I was totally blown away.
Don't forget our other pool now fellas!
@LFC I don't think there was a list, hilarious PM'd me so I assume it was just the same with everyone else and he only invited them after they paid. So he has all the confirmations=)

It would be nice if there would be a list with all participants entrees and some kind of note of who provided a small fee/surplus or whatsoever to spice the main POT...
I know I have send some extra I think to one of the games but never saw it being mentioned I think ....

Really nice scores by hilariousandco 20.5 & LTU_btc 20.5.
LTU has fired himself into 1st place & I’ve gone down to 2nd, courtesy of my mediocre 11.5 for the week.
It was awesome week for me. Just one wrong prediction - Bournemouth - West Ham and 4 exact scores.LTU has fired himself into 1st place & I’ve gone down to 2nd, courtesy of my mediocre 11.5 for the week.
Now I have to make a screenshot of the table while I'm still leading
.Hah congrats. We got a new mofo'ing bastard in the pool! Lolol.
Anyway, I could send you the payment for our F1 bet anytime now if you want it. Just send me the address. Should've gone for straight up Verstappen vs Vettel. That would've been way more fun.

Can somebody show me the original post for this season detailing every single participant who has paid please?
I can’t find it.
Thanks
I just want to see the receiving address for the prize pot.
Edit - found it -

you have the first and the fourth under the same nickname
Correct. I'm first and fourth on the points table currently but I'll probably make it so only one person can win only one prize from the consolation spots just so one person doesn't end up cleaning up. With that being said, I'm almost certain 14.5 will be too low to win anything by the end of the season. Maybe all the spots will be beaten eventually as it's still very early in the league really.
I'm just curious - usually only the top one from that round goes to the leaderboard. Now 2 teams went because they have the same score?
Yes. If it's tied then I guess we'll have count them both. It happened in Sept as well with BitcoinSupremo & hahay tying that week:
Top five highest scorers so far:
cryptofrka 16.5
hilariousandco 14.5
Sojourner 14.5
BitcoinSupremo 13 tied
hahay 13 tied
cryptofrka 16.5
hilariousandco 14.5
Sojourner 14.5
BitcoinSupremo 13 tied
hahay 13 tied
But like I said those sorts of low scores will quickly be usurped.

I think it is ok, you can have all 5 if you win 5 rounds with top scores.

Straight into the (joint) top spot with LTU_btc with 20.5 points for the consolation prizes:
hilariousandco 20.5
LTU_btc 20.5
cryptofrka 16.5
hilariousandco 14.5
Sojourner 14.5
I think that's the first time ever I got points from every single game. Got 1.5 from all except one game. Not sure I'll beat this round but goes to show that even the bottom of the leader-board can still come out top if they can get good results so not over yet.
1-1 was quite a popular score on last nights game with 8 users going for it. Two went for 2-2. Most others backed the Arsenal win so shows you how much faith people have in United right now.
Also glad to see var actually being used to correct a mistake instead of giving them for millimetres offside. Surprised the linesman got that one wrong as he was way onside.

Who’s that yellow fellow whos head could stop that bomb?
Well, congrats
This is a goal that I was waiting to see in this match
I have 2:1 in the pool, so, maybe close, maybe exact
Arsenal wasted a very good chance and in the next minutes they had to take a goal. Scott McTominay did not make any mistake. Half time and score is 1 - 0 for Man Utd.Well, congrats

However my pick in superbru is 1 - 3 for Arsenal. And also I have a bet for Arsenal. Both are not looking good though.

I’m just watching MUTD - ARS live on TV
They both need the half time reset cause there is no real chances to score a good goal, on both sides...
This can easily finish as a draw from what I can see after the first 39 minutes
Manchester United is playing with good advantage of Yellow cards as until now they have 3 and Arsenal with only 1 just this thing make some interest otherwise its surely going to be a draw without any goal.They both need the half time reset cause there is no real chances to score a good goal, on both sides...

Edit: Manchester United leading by 1 goals 45 minutes goal can make some difference.

Leicester are doing really well this season, though this result should be expected from a ten-man Newcastle team. Liverpool are playing Leicester next week and that could be an interesting game. Could they take some points away from Liverpool? At Anfield I'm not so sure but it will be a game to watch.
TBH, I really don't think so. Leicester is a decent team but the table lies a bit. They played well against Tottenham, but were mostly poor against both United and Chelsea (although they got a decent result at the Bridge).
They will lack pace at the back to cope with Liverpool's front 3 and if they play deep, we have got enough quality to create chances both through Firmino and the flanks.
I'm more worried Liverpool will drop points against a technically poor but physically dominant side than against a team like Leicester. Only thing we need to be careful of is their counterattack but I feel that we will do a good job in midfield and control the majority of that game.
That's been my worry for many a season now. I think it was really only until last season that we finally found a way to break down teams that fit your description, and we really have to credit Klopp for that, other than a really awesome Terrible Three and wingbacks that switch around so much we basically just pummel teams into submission.
When we meet the Arsenals and the Spurs, I'm less worried, because they play our game and we play it better. Even City, and Barca last season, when we lost, we played better.
It's exactly the games like last one that I used to dread. Leicester are dangerous on the counter, but I think our back four can deal easily with their 4-1-4-1. What we need is Maddison to be back in the squad, so they keep that formation and don't get tempted to park the you-know-what =p
