Now it is getting closer at the top, at the middle and even in the bottom of the leaderboard. It is this time when things start to get interesting although it is to early to say anything with just 2 weeks passed, another 36 long weeks before we go to the end of this.

I don't think it is. Two weeks is nothing. I could get next to zero points the following weeks. It won't be interesting until many rounds have passed arguably even months. It doesn't matter if you're at the bottom of the table for the next few weeks as you could just as easily turn it round with a good run (or even if higher up users have a bad run).

Yup...  Me too.  I guess this will be another early donation for this season for me.  If by the fifth or sixth week I don't improve, I quit.  Enjoy my donation.  Grin

I got 0 - 2 in the Palace vs LFC match.

Oh, come on toke, you're way in there and even right now, the bottom (me) and the top doesn't have such a terrible gap to close. Round 1 2 guys managed to get 18 points or more so if I do that, I'll have almost closed the gap (heh heh).

As hilarious also stated in his first post, there are also weekly prizes for best predictions in that individual week. So even if you are way behind in last place, with no chance to win outright, you still have something to play for. Don't give up!

It's not really a weekly prize. Those prizes still won't be deiced until the end but it is for the top 5 users who have scored the highest points in a weekly round. It's just a way for users to have something still to play for if/when it becomes apparent they are very unlikely to get a top 5 spot on the leaderboard.

Its still just started and I am sure its going to change soon even in next few weeks I am still third its surprise me because second week was worst for me but some good points in first week help a lot but I am not sure I will keep this place in next few weeks because many good are warming up and they can do some extra ordinary any time in coming weeks

Well, Crystal Palace surprised me an awful lot last night. I kind of expected them to sit back a little, and look to counter attack. But, at home I was expected a second half barrage from them with Zaha leading the attacks. Instead, they pretty much counter attacked the whole time. They did pretty well, and forced some decent saves from the Liverpool goalkeeper.

Wasn't the way I saw the game going to be honest. Liverpool didn't have it too easy, but didn't struggle that much either. Certainly not defensively which I thought they might.

I’ve had an absolute stinker of a weekend in round 2’s fixtures. Need to do much better next weekend.
Gone for C Palace 1-3 Liverpool tomorrow.

Well done to our new Yellow Cap winner, Sygambler! He also managed an extra slam point to further his lead! top 2 managed to maintain their positions so well done to them too. I've gone for very high risk scores as you can see, but I guess the Premier League hasn't really thrown up the surprises yet.

I got a new wooden spoon to my name too, so I guess I'm on my way to filling up all those Superbru badges haha.

Seriously, I never learn my lesson.

Yeah, I guess I was indirectly correct. I didn't really have the Burnley game in mind when making that statement in all honesty though. Yeah, I'm either expecting Liverpool to come out all guns blazing, and put quite a few on them or as is tradition with CP VS Liverpool they'll both score a few goals, and it will be a close game right until the end of the whistle.

I think Liverpool have the capability of not leaking as much goals as they have in previous games against Crystal Palace though.

I doubt we will see a high scoring one in the Burnley game. All the betting websites where I read news and do the analysis were predicting a low scoring game but those are just predictions anyway. For this game my score is 1-0 for Burnley.
Yeah, I was referring to the others. For example, I saw the Man Utd game going quite high scoring like it was. I think the Liverpool, and Crystal palace game today will likely have a few goals in it. Especially, considering CP will likely come at Liverpool considering they are playing at home.

The funny thing though is that you were right, we had a high scoring game and Watford won 1-3 against a tiresome Burnley. Same for Man.United. As for Liverpool we will see tonight, I think an Over 2.5 goals should be the norm here tonight and a win of Liverpool probably.

Don’t give up, keep going. It’s a bit of fun even if you don’t win. Keeps the whole season interesting.

I got Liverpool to win vs Crystal Palace today, though I can't remember the exact score. Hopefully, we won't have another upset  Lips sealed

LOL 28 users predicted a Man Utd win, only two predicted a Brighton win...and here I though we all lost that one. @hilariousandco no longer at the top of the league  Shocked Good job, @slaman29

Not a bad weekend for me, I think I got top 10 secured until next week even if I don't get the Liverpool - Crystal Palace result right.

On the plus side, Aguero's hat trick got my fantasy football team a nice few points.
Fun fact: Aguero is now the 2nd player with the most hat-tricks in the EPL, first is the legend Alan Shearer.

Thank you! I just didn't like how Mourinho has been putting his team out and I thought they would have a tough away game especially with Sanchez injured. It's a shame I didn't bet on the game, it seems only 2% people predicted the upset. Whoever predicted 3-2 is amazing, United don't easily let in three goals, and Brighton don't easily score 3 goals!
Before the game, Man Utd have conceded 3 goals in only two games under Mourinho...crazy stuff that some people predicted the exact score... high risk high reward, though I usually don't go for those risky predictions.

I have Liverpool as my main tip in my tipping thread today. I have Liverpool to win and Over 2.5 goals while for the predictor I have predicted a narrow win of Liverpool , at 1-2 as correct score.

We have quite a few gamblers I can see in our pool haha I see 1 person bet a City draw in our pool. Who is Sojourner? He is predicting too many upsets.

So far mostly predictable results, so those of us who didn't take too much risk are on top.

I go again for 4-0, this will be harder for being away, but I like how they are on form and playing just like they did last season. I'm neutral in English football but hard not to like Liverpool, even their players are nice people.

6-1 to Man City and Brighton currently beating Man Utd 3-1. Can't imagine many people predicted those results!

^  And if you can get a bet in for Burnley matches at home to win +0 at 1.80 or more and vs midtable clubs and lower, you should usually take it...  There just something about Burnley that bookies tend to underestimate.

Also, Welsh and others, you have 15 free picks if you ever forget. They're used up automatically, and are set to the most popular prediction for the games. So basically, you haven't lost anything just yet.

I've put my picks in up to Week 3, but will probably make sure I have at least 2 weeks in advance picked out. You can always change them later. Takes all of 30 mins to enter everything right up to season end, so why not?
Wasn't aware of the free 15 picks. I guess that's how I got 7 points from the first round Cheesy I did alright on some of the games yesterday, and I think I should pick up some points from the remaining games. No idea what the scores will be with these though, as we've got the potential for some high scoring ones.

I doubt we will see a high scoring one in the Burnley game. All the betting websites where I read news and do the analysis were predicting a low scoring game but those are just predictions anyway. For this game my score is 1-0 for Burnley.
