^ What's your secret? I need to get out of this rut. Grin

Stop tinkering.

For the first couple of weeks, I put my predictions in the weekend before based entirely on "gut feeling", and then they day before looked more closely at them and tweaked them a little bit. I was very middle-of-the-table. This week, I half forgot and half didn't have the time to sit down and tweak my "gut feelings" from last weekend, and I seem to have done better for it. Much like my Fantasy Football team, constantly tinkering and tweaking seems to leave me worse off than if I just go with my gut and forget about it. Also, I get less grief from the other half about spending too much time on the football. So a win-win, haha.

EDIT: Scrap that. That Cardiff goal ruined everything. Cheesy

Anyway there's a CL pool waiting for all of you guys... And a 10 USD CL side bet on picking which club do you think could go the furthest in the tourney.

Well, looks like I've had a good couple of days, moving up 15 places from 20th to 5th. Goes to show you don't even need a good week to jump the table, a good day is all it takes. Wonder if my predictions will come through today to keep this lucky streak going.

I'm still hovering about my Man Utd prediction - it should be an easy win for United with Burnley on a draw and two loses against some very average teams, but it could go either way with United's current form. A few of my friends in my Fantasy Football League are big United fans - can't wait to give them some abuse later if United don't win. Grin

I am quite disappointed with my predictions so far. I climbed up a few spaces last week but then I dropped again and now still below 20th position. Not enough to predict two exact scores for Manchester City and Fulham 2-2,,, it seems I simply cannot get things right often.

2 weeks ago you were sitting at 27th now you're at 24th that's not bad tbh and this round you've gained more points than the rest of us. We have 3 matches left to predict before the round ends don't lose hope. Cheesy

I picked all favorites to win today but i'm having second thoughts that there will be a draw after looking at the results yesterday. All home teams are underdogs and 2 of the favorites had a poor start.

Today my favorite team is playing and they need to win this to get to the same spot as Chelsea and Liverpool. If they can win 3-0, they will be #1, while beating Watford away from 100%. So this is my dream!

I thought I would lose a lot of positions with today results in the games of EPL but only lost two positions and I lost only 1.5 point against the leader. This was the week of some surprises though with Everton failing to win against Huddersfield and Palace losing to Southampton (at least for me these are surprises). Anyway the top is very tight now.

The most expensive keeper in the world, ladies and gents. Cheesy

But a goal well deserved by Leicester tho. And yup... Leicester could turn this into a draw. They're doing some good pressing on Liverpool.

There's a song in Sweden that goes something like "Varför måste alltid Lester kvittera med 4 sekunder kvar", roughly translated to "Why must always Lester equalize with 4 seconds left" and it's quite catchy Cheesy

Oh my, Allison. What on earth was he doing? Maybe this will be his wake up call to stop trying to be flash all the time and just be a solid keeper instead. Klopp won't be happy.

Still, I predicted 2-1, so if both teams could just sit back and relax for the last 25 mins, that would be great. Grin

You and me both! However I'm not surprised if this goes either way from here..

Anyone think Liverpool could struggle at Leicester today? Not sure whether to go for a risky one or just back Liverpool to win. I#ll wait to see what the line-ups are like before I commit though. Not sure if Vardy's back yet and that will make a huge difference.

Vardy is not playing for sure. I thought he was suspended for few matches but now the line ups are available so it is a moot point. I was thinking between both to score and over 2.5 but after seeing Lpool line up i went with win for Lpool. They have chosen rather defensive midfielders so I am thinking something like 0:2 for Pool.

If you had said at the start of the season "Pick 4 teams that would be joint top after 3 weeks", how many of you would have included Watford in your selections? Grin

Luck of the draw really, though they have been playing well. I don't think they'll stay there for long though. Tomorrow's game against spurs will be the real test for them. If they can get at least point out of that game then there's no telling where they could go.

Its early doors yet, and they've had a fairly easy fixture list. Should all change tomorrow when they come up against Tottenham, and then the following round they have Man Utd. Although, I would expect them to lose again Spurs they might actually beat Man Utd the way they are playing right now.

Action is back on the Premier League this week again, difficult games this week, pretty unpredictable too, all my predictions, well almost all, I have over 3.5 goals as final results. I was getting bored so the EPL action will give us a boost to our moods.

Well, Man Utd are having a rough time aren't they? Probably fucked some peoples predictions up. I haven't watched them personally, but I'm quite enjoying their run of form as of late. Lets hope it continues Cheesy

Oh, and I keep saying this, but I really need to find the time to fill in the next few months, because I'll be away soon.

^ So prolly Pogba and whoever at the midfield should do a better job on feeding balls to Lukaku then? Pogba is another no show at match day at times. He's either inconsistent or Mou is using him the wrong way... Shouldn't he be played at AM? What was his usual position at Juve?

Yup, he's good and all but he doesn't look like he's a 'top 4' striker. Meaning he's awesome for midtable clubs like Everton, but when it comes to the demands of a club like United, it seems like he can't hack it.

Agreed. He was playing better in the world cup, scoring 4 goals, but anyone would play better and score more goals with both Hazard and KDB behind you feeding balls in.

An embarrasing lose for Man.Utd. I believe it is time for Mou to hit the sack and to leave Man.Utd, I strongly believe his time here has expired and cannot bring any more good to the club. The way they played tonight especially in the second half was catastrophic.

Mou are getting sacked in the morning Cheesy

. If to talk seriously, I highly doubt that MU board will make decision to sack him in such early phase of season.
I predicted Spurs win 2:1, but I'm really surprised about result. Spurs just dominated in second half.
Very bad week in predictor for me, from 4th to 8th position Cheesy

I think it will be a while before they sack him yet. Give him chance. Glad I got a point from the game, but that third goal cost me half a point, which all add up when you're at the top.

Quote from: tokeweed on August 28, 2018, 08:45:09 AM

Heh... Ok. I'll give it another go. It's only week 4 into the season anyway... Must be Mou's mood rubbing on me. Lmao.

But is it just me or does anybody else think Lukaku is over priced and over rated? Seriously. Mou should have started Sanchez up front instead or Rash with the more high pressing, attacking style Mou took.

I don't. He's a quality player, but I just don't think he's a good fit for United, and said it before he even moved there. Lukaku at Everton is a much different beast than at United. I'm sure he'll end up moving on.

Amazing comeback to climb 18 places to unyil and win this week's top spot! And at 19.5 points this means he is the highest weekly spot collector,,, so now somebody has to beat that with 20 points! And now the gap from bottom to top is 25 points so we can see it is getting wider. This is more exciting. I also managed to climb up a few spots. So watch out, friends, I am getting better.

So, a few more games before 2 weeks of break is coming up, good luck all of you,,,
