Well, an offside goal for Everton thanks to Walcott's poor positioning, and Mina being very lucky not to be sent off for his challenge on Success.

This game should currently be 0-0 with Everton on 10 men, rather than Everton 1-0 up and without a red card. If I were an Watford fan I'd be pissed, but it plays in to the hands of my prediction, so I'm not. Grin

I do think the league needs VAR though.

Edit: No sooner do I post and Watford equalize. I've predicted 2-1 Everton so another goal from them would be nice.

Double edit: 2 for Watford in 2 minutes. And Everton missed a penalty. Ouch. Karma is served.

I predicted Everton 2-0 Watford.
That was a late, late equaliser for Everton, think they probably deserved it though.

Just done my predictions for the next round of matches, I know it’s early but why not?

Not only do Wolves score in the fourth minute of injury time to thwart my correct score, but that then gives another correct score and the full three points to slaman29 who breaks further away from the rest of us. He's now 23.5 points away from me in tenth place and that's going to be hard for anyone to catch I think. A top five place isn't out of reach yet though at only 8.5 points. It's still pretty close from place 5 to 19 really and I think any of those players still have a chance of winning something.

Champions League is on tomorrow so for those playing don't forget to put your predictions in for that.

Temporary forum vacation

It has been an okay week for me,,, I honestly do not know how to get better scores. Got a exact ones with 1-0 but lose out on many because of last goals and lucky goals. Do not forget to make Everton pick tonight!

Yes to slaman, I bet on football but if you see my predictions you know I lose money. I can win on spurs games but the odds are not really good so I have to win 2 times to make 1 losing bet equal. And if you see, they are in this pattern of win 2 or 3 times and lose 1. So frustrating!

@slaman - I bet, yes. I don’t bet with my bitcoin these days though, I use a fiat bookies.

This weekend I picked 4 games in an accumulator/parlay with BTTS (all 8 teams had to score).
I lost by 1 goal damn it Cheesy

Congrats on a great weekend in the pool btw.

Chelsea leading 1-0 at half time from one hell of a strike from Kante? Unusual for him to score like that.

You can thank Sarri for that, he's been playing Kante in a more offensive role leaving the "creative/denfesive midfilder" role to someone like Jorginho, who's more used to that role since his days in Napoli. Still though, that was a great shot from Kante, who would've thought that one of the best defensive midfielders in the world could also score some nice goals?

It's always nice to have someone like that in the team. I remember when he played for Leicester he barely ever scored, and in fact would barely every take the shot, and would look to find a team mate instead even when any other player would of taken the shot. Chelsea did fantastically well, and I've come across a few salty City fans since

I saw the replay and he was actually using almost his sidefoot to shoot, so not such a striker's shot, on maybe 1 out of 5 shots the ball would be too high and out or maybe easy to save, but no doubt nice goal and nicer assist. The Leicester team that won the league was fantastic and N'golo never stopped being the guy who takes out the most attacks. His interception is so crazy plus his speed to do it even though he is short, just amazing. In fact his interception is like 3 seconds before anything happens if you see he is running all the way up, anticipating a cutback before anybody realizes.

He played not to his level in the game actually, gave away 3 or 4 dribbles too easily, but this is football. You can play not so good and still win with clinical strikes.

Wolverhampton scored 94th minute goal to give me 3 full points, I'm surprised not many other people predicted them to win, they just beat Chelsea the same scoreline:) Very happy with my week in the end. You know if you look at tipsters even on the forum, our pool are doing better than most of them. Do all of you bet?

I was in 4th place after the 3pm games yesterday, managed to get back into 2nd by predicting Chelsea would beat Man City. I don’t think many of us thought Chelsea would win.

slaman got an exact score on the Leicester vs Spurs game though he’s extended his lead a little.

Here’s the top 10 -

I thought I had a flying start, and it was just the same last week, really good start, but I seem to do badly on the Sunday games.

Than this should be your week by all means. You must be happy it is only one game in Premier league Sunday Schedule

Damn it is going to be boring Sunday.

Bastard slaman29 getting a correct result again and has taken the top spot. Glad I changed my result. Was going to go for a 1-1 draw but changed it to 2-1 at the last minute. 1 point is better than zero.

^ Where do you play fantasy football? Hilarious made a league but I played it for only a couple of weeks or so. It's no fun when there's no money on the line.

I'm not a big fan of it, even if there's money on the line. Too much effort involved. I haven't bothered with it since the first couple of weeks and just let it run with the squad I had.

Gone with the Skybet price boost of Man United, West Ham, and Arsenal today. All those teams should win comfortably, but if United lose to or even draw to bottom of the table Fulham he probably should go. Only game I'll be watching today is the Chelsea/City match. Have the game down as a draw currently but I'm tempted to back the City win.

Thanks for the recognition. I thought I had a flying start, and it was just the same last week, really good start, but I seem to do badly on the Sunday games.

And I'm so hitting myself in the head. I asked Chelsea to win and hoped that they would, but then I predicted what I thought was logical, which is City to of course win.

Redeemed myself with 2-0 Spurs win, so I guess it's not too bad.

You won the Skybet games, very good. Close games at Arsenal and West Ham, what was the payout?

Even though I've been critical of some of Liverpool's performances recently they are the only team in the top flight to not have lost a game with Man City losing today. I had a funny feeling Chelsea would turn things upside down after their poor performance mid week. Man City looked fairly good up until the goal which was sort of against the run of the play, but the 2nd half Chelsea dominated no doubt. Pedro, Hazard, and David Luiz impressed today.

My choice is Kane and Salah as VC.

Kane not on the field to start. I suspect he might get to rest the whole game if Spurs are dominating, or come on shortly after half time if it's still 0-0. He's unlikely to get a hat-trick so hopefully for you he stays on the bench, otherwise you are might be looking at a 2 pointer captain.

Liverpool go top this weekend after City lose 2-0 to Chelsea.

Congrats to you. As much as I hate Chelsea for screwing up my predictions, I'm glad to see City get beat and lose the top spot.

Liverpool go top this weekend after City lose 2-0 to Chelsea. I had Chelsea 2-1 Man City so I get 1.5 points for a close there.
I’m in 3rd place as I type this, Leicester vs Spurs about to start.

I think a draw is looking more likely than ever now as Man City will look to hit back, but Chelsea have looked fairly decent defending except a few times when Man City just sliced through them with their one touch precision football.

I may have got my prediction wrong, but a hat-trick from my captained Salah is great news for my Fantasy Football team. Grin

Congrats on having the guts to give Salah the band. My choice is Kane and Salah as VC. Now I don't know which would be better for me Kane playing or not playing tonight

But it was a good kick in the right direction for me as well. I am 4th in my league and first three don't have Salah in the team so I am hoping for great week.

On the official site - https://fantasy.premierleague.com

I'm in a handful of leagues - one with a group of friends, one with a different group of friends, and one with work colleagues. The work one is just for bragging rights around the department, but both friends ones have some cold hard cash on the line. I know you guys had started a league at the start of the season, but since I've played Fantasy Football for years with people I know in real life, my account is registered with my real name which would have been revealed to everyone in the league had I joined. And it's not worth the wife aggro I would get if I spent even more time trying to manage two teams (especially after hilarious talked me in to signing up to both Superbru leagues Grin

).

Well, I had predicted that Bournemouth might have been able to score one in their game with Liverpool, but I didn't count on it being an own goal, and I also didn't expect it to be such an amazing own goal. Cook might be having the worst game of his life, but that finish would have been up there with Ronaldo if it had been in the right goal, haha. https://streamja.com/4EMw
