I noticed that haha.
If you look, 5th place (which is a paid position) is only 3 points ahead of me & 2.5 points ahead of you.
Hilarious in 1st is 7 points ahead of me & 6.5 points ahead of you so it’s very, very close. Anybody can win really.

Apparently "playing it safe" isn't the way to go. Man City only drawing 1-1, and Liverpool only just winning 1-0, but then the likes of Fulham scoring 4.
Will be an interesting season at least if it carries on like this.

Yes I didn't understand it at first but playing safe actually is a good tactic because you get the slam points, which really helped me in the first round get my highest score. OK it won't get you 3 points always but every correct score builds up bonus points to help you get there. If you get 8 you already get 2 points extra which helps make up for points lost.
I think it's very tough. Lost a lot of lead and hilarious back on top. We have a new yellow hat this week it seems like.

Great week so far for me, in fact it is the best week for me so far with 4 correct scores and 1 normal result , 13 points is a really good score for the week and with one game to go which it can go to the three directions tomorrow, as for me I have predicted a 1-1 draw for the Man.Utd game against the Spurs.
I’ve got 3 ‘close’ (1.5 points) , 1 ‘result’ (1 point) & 2 ‘exact’ (3 points).
That’s 11.5 points with the Man Utd vs Spurs game still to go. I went Man Utd 2-1 Spurs.
Not great but not too bad I guess?
Yeah not bad, I would consider any week with 10 or more points a good one in the format we are playing in Superbru. Although at the beginning didn't like it much, I like a lot now the slam points, which can make a difference to the person who finds a lot of correct results but not correct scores and is a nice addition to the point.
I also just passed you on the leaderboard for the moment

^ We need that Mou back... Just to make this season more interesting. Lol. I wanna see a Pep vs Mou rivalry in the EPL at some point.
And Fulham vs Burnley is 2 - 1 now.
Edit: 3 - 1.
Edit: 3 - 2! Now at half time.

Safe to say I guess nobody is going to get ‘EXACT SCORE’ in that Fulham vs Burnley game
Rafa is parking the bus against Chelsea atm, 0-0 at HT, I’m watching. So boring haha.

Watford 2-1 C Palace
I needed that exact score, hopefully I can get one of the other two games today right. Need to start doing better this season.

Me too got this correct score and hopefully I can get another one from the Chelsea game or at least a close one. Three correct scores for me so far this week and it looks like my recovery has started. Last year I was sitting in the bottom of the table until 7-8 week in which I really started to make a difference against many others. I hope history repeat itself, and it starts from this third good week.
I’ve got -
Newcastle 1-2 Chelsea
Fulham 1-1 Burnley
See how it goes, hey. I didn’t know you were from Italy, who is your team? Juve, Napoli, Roma, Milan, Inter?
Inter is my team but they are doing disastrously these latest years, our glory time was with Mou, when we beat Barcelona and won the Champions League after more than 40 years.
By the way I have Fulham-Burnley 2-1 and Newcastle Chelsea 1-2.
Fulham v Burnley is 1-1 already after 15 mins. I don’t think I have much chance of that staying 1-1
And I remember that Inter season well. Amazing.

I'll try and figure out how to pay the 3 pounds a bit later and set up the CL league as soon as this week's EPL is over. Just need to not be lazy.
I'll try email them about it but I don't get why you care so much about this. Especially to the point that you're willing to sacrifice your own privacy and hand over your personal information and debit card to them. Nobody can see your scores until they're unable to change theirs. The only way this could be abused is if there was some collusion between a couple of users where one puts their scores in and shows the results to others. If people are so concerned about that (which probably won't happen anyway) then either put some fake scores in at first or none at all and just make sure to put your correct ones in before kick off.
Sorry, Capt'n, you misunderstand me or I must have misunderstood the conversations above.
I actually don't care about it, and I also don't think there's any risk of collusion since scores are only shown after or once you lock them in. Now that I've tried Superbru, I like it. No one can change it after viewing other scores I know this... but if it would make a few others more keen/comfortable to join up with that option enabled (I understood Supremo doesn't like people seeing what his picks were?), I really don't mind the small spend to keep all the league members happy.
I use disposable virtual cards from my Entropay for all these 1-off small purchases too, none of my personal details are ever linked to purchases this way.
August 26, 2018, 03:14:39 AM
I don't see those options here in Italy, my only options is 2.29 EUR for 1 month of premium look and feel of the website without add ons. I want to really buy the privacy package and for 3 Pounds it is not a problem for me or anyone else.
Care to share a link ?

It's probably just shown to those who actually create a league there.

I'm so proud of myself for that City 1-1 correct score, and yes, that was the only result I thought to go severely against the flow today, I even hit 2 correct draws but 2-2 for the 1-1 and scoreless for the 1-1 so at least I hauled myself out of the bottom floor. Only 3 points needed from tomorrow on a nice hit to go level top this week, so yeah guys, it's anybody's game every week!
Liverpool 3 opening wins, clean sheets, best start I can remember in recent memory. Salah matchwinner, no injuries, didn't play at their best but still won against a tough team. Everything is going good so far. Alisson tried a few fancy moves, hope Klopp dampens that down cause he almost, ALMOST let a strike through near the end by being funny. Crowd favourite already though.

Got two correct scores today. Would have had three had it not been for the late goal from Arsenal. I was going to ask if Sojourner was purposely making shit picks as some sort of self-sabotage, but he actually was the only one to get the City score correct today haha.
For those that were complaining about the 'privacy' issues, superbru does have a paid option to remove the feature to be able to see users picks for only £3:
But they don't seem to offer any other payment option other than debit cards:
And there's no where to put the name in so I'm assuming it uses the one you signed up with and since mine is Mr Hilarious Andco that's probably out of the question. It's a non-issue to me though because you can only see others results once you've locked yours in. For those that are worried about any possible shenanigans or collusion you should probably just put them in at the last minute. If somebody wants to create a pool for the Champions league and pay for the premium feature I have no issue in that.

I have Everton 2-2 as a correct score and the referee has given more than 10 minutes of additional play. Also the red cards ruined my Southampton score in the last minute, at least I got only Arsenal on correct score. The Everton game still continuining and still accepting live bets, something wrong here.
Edit: finished now, glad I did 2 correct scores for this round already and they are my only scores right.
