Yes! for what Haaland has done he's worthy candidate for Ballon d'or this year and I don't think that is a topic that should up for a debate, perhaps their other candidates too, but Haaland is definitely top there for this year too.

If I'm not mistaken Ballon d'or is awarded not based on technicality it's and based on outstanding performances, and how is Haaland not in that category for this year ?  He swept the awards in EPL and scored the most goals in europe top 5 leagues last season, in the toughest league of them all right ? at that only 8 players in EPL had more assists than Haaland the league last season too, and UCL was another quest his team conquered in his maiden season, finishing as the top scorer as well. For all what Haaland as done in in those 8 months, I'd say damn his technically deficiencies, he's already what his coach and team needs him to be.



Yeah, I'd agree that every one find it very obvious that Haaland is not even as technically gifted as some other center forward in the lower teams currently in the EPL, I'd say the likes of Isak and Darwin Nunez are literally more technically gifted than Haaland, but we must always remember that Haaland was brought into the Man City's fold to be nothing  but their goal poacher which has been a missing piece in the team for a long while, in my opinion, he is doing his primary assignment and obligation to uttermost perfection, I don't know what more could be asked of him especially for a player who just turned 23 years about a month ago.

Maybe not telling you this would be beneficial to me, but it's still way to early to use your wild card now, we just one game week left to play before an international break, and by the we get back the transfer window would be closed by then.

The international break is still often plagued with injuries, and the transfer window could string a couple of surprises, you will be better off using your wildcard then having almost 14 days to make your decisions and plan for the long term rather than just this coming week, because every player you're bringing in now still stand a chance of injured or traded before the transfer deadline, what would you do then if it's more what just one of two transfers can cover for.

I will reserve my comments for when I'm able to regain my form.... You lucky freak

US Open begins tomorrow please CRO2 tell me we are definitely getting question9s) from there, that literally the biggest event happening for the next two weeks.

No Foden, No Alvarez ?? That's not going to to happen to honest with Bernardo Silva and KDB absent, no gonna happen, so don't bother to have your hope way too high, and I don't think Jeremy Doku's documents have been cleared to allow him take part in today's fixture.

I don't think there is a better time to have the most informative guess on what Guardiola starting XI would be, I'd even take any bet, that I'll be get between 9-10 predictions of the start eleven right.

I knew Saka was still Arsenal's penalty guy, because he handed the ball to Odegaard himself the last time out, and that was just out of courtesy, I believe or perhaps didn't feel confident enough, and would rather hand over the responsibility to someone else he believes could.


----------------------------------------------

If there wasn't an imminent International break around the corner, God know I would pulled my first wildcard unapologetically, and I think I already have my go to players for this season, but the transfer is still open so, wildcard now before the end of the transfer window and international could do more harm than go, so I'm just going to try to stay afloat here, and not get hasty with some decisions. 

How the hell did that happen, I just saw the highlight of them shotput contestant make a huge statement and would very likely secure the gold medal, and I said maybe there is actually a small chance they'll get to pull this off, but I guess they indeed lost every chance of that possibility about to days ago, when they had all the chance in the world to secure that threshold.

Congratulations, that's an epic one you've laid your hands on there, and Southampton have started their campaign beautifully to in EFL Championship, they just need to get tidy up things better at their defense, and they sure should be back to the EPL next summer!



I didn't stick around for a lot of football today, I was barely awake for 12 minutes into Tottenham's game so I missed quite some deadline, and that was a blessing in disguise, I managed to keep it up with my Tennis bet instead

I'm not even worried about Stones, perhaps because I never had him but Gabriel's time on team is coming to an end, and I don't think I'll be having anyone from the team in my defense anymore, not at least until I'm sure that Arteta has a complete idea of what he want to achieve with his new signings and the brilliant ones he had last season.


Brighton with are being brought back down to earth, but guess who still didn't learnt their lessons of having Areola in the lineup, that'd me be and Mbuemo and Wissa decided to go on a break when brought them in, no regrets, yet except Salah goes blank, though!

And I chose to go H2H with him at the wrongest of timing! Lol.

_____________


What in the name of tactics is Mikel Arteta playing ?? having Ben White as CB with Gabriel fully fit is cluster-f*ck already enough but having Thomas Partey at right full back have got to be joke of the season so far! If he needs to drop Havertz to have Odegaard at 10 or 8 he should do it, damn it! Arsenal aren't possession starved enough for him to keep trying to make Partey, Rice, Havertz and Odegaard work for a formation that needs only 3 of them for and making the defenders look like utter idiots, and if he's hellbent on playing a double pivot, I don't know what Havertz is a starter for, or If it'sactually a deep lying playmaker he wants to make out of Declan Rice, the why the f** would you still pair him Partey, Odegaard and Havertz, and have the become less creative on the flank that Partey is supposedly supporting om.

Maybe I'm the only one missing something or getting the wrong narrative here ??

Freaking Wilson, Higgins knocked him out as well... but thanks to VAR for ruling out Celta Vigo's 3rd minute goal, if not it would have been game over for me, but you're still ahead, and we've 2 questions left and this time there is no chance of finding a common ground, it's just plain black or white, there is no area shaded grey for us, I'll likely take that USA question that'd bring us to parity, but then comes the question of Sevilla vs Girona, It's a Sevilla win or not that gets to define the winner here, but is Sevilla a team I'd like to have my fate on ? they look consistent to some one extent, but they'll likely bring you to the brink of death before pull off some stunts, and Girona have been their nemesis for the last 3 games or thereabout, and it's 0 from a possible 6 for Sevilla while Girona are still without defeat, the momentum is clearly on your side, but "you just can never undermine Sevilla" is the only positive compass I can cling onto right now.

I think the relationship between Mohammed Salah, Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool is hitting rock bottom slowly, but I don't think he'll be bailing out on Liverpool just this soon, I'm sure he'll still play out the rest of this season even if he were to move on, it sure would be on mutual terms, not just some bad ending story like we've these last few days  with some players and beloved teams.

Salah leaving on bad a terms with the club would make more hated than Sterling was at Anfield after he left for Chelsea, or he could more than some Roberto Firmino send forth gesture, playing until the end of the season and finishing it on a high note, the Saudi's money isn't going anywhere and would still be there come next season.

I'm sorry if this sounds like downplaying your efforts, because it's not and I think this is a great initiative, but I really just don't think it's a necessity for the Fantasy Pool here, we already have everything we need on the FPL portal, and there are still a lot of things that you can't possibly add like the transfers and what not.

I believe this would be of a better use in the BSFL thread, rather than the Fantasy Premier League where all of these are already automated processes.

Shawn Murphy is out, and Kyren Wilson will now be up against John Higgins, the player who eliminated Murphy, If not we would have It would have been your Murphy vs my Wilson in the quarters for a place in the semi finals.

------------------


I think it's very likely USA would end up with less than 14 Gold medals, they had their biggest chance today with multiple Athletes in each of the finals today, but there were a lot of surprises that's why they got quite a lot many Silver medals today.

Crazy game!

I really was expecting a Messi goal or assist, but the clause Inter Miami to not lose at regular time is what I went against, Hence why I chose No as my answer, It's missed emotions for me, seeing Messi carrying Inter Miami is a good sight for me, but Buwaytress having the dying minutes edge on me something that make me feel utterly unlucky lol, but there's a more than a kilometre to go and our answers are no where close to each other on a lot of questions, so we'll see!

It's a good strategy especially for outright bets and sport you not familiar with but it goes a little deeper than just putting in the lowest betting odds in this case because there is a draw and it will be off no good, your players are going to be facing each other before the semi finals, so you need to check the draws table first and then use then select the best odds for each bracket that might not face any other of your picks before the semi-finals.

It is not as easy as it seems but the odds is often worth it for me in best of 3 matches, and then Trofo and Cryptofrka should be held responsible for every winning I get on Tennis on Sportsbet, I was never a tennis as of few months ago, I only see them occasionally until BSFL happened and we couldn't go a week with a Tennis question, and then it was an easy sport to love, my only hint is that I tend to know each player very well now and know how they play, for some once they get the first service break the tie is literally over, and some there are nothing just extremely unstable, so I often go with players that I know wouldn't go the distance, even if it's a best of games, and they play all five games, you'll more often than not just see the set swinging between each players without even going beyond 6-4 per set.

I really couldn't have seen that from a millimeter away, because damn, Young Boys are not the team win with their opponent not scoring so 0-1 was never an option and in this kind questions, I always prefer to have a multiple chance 4+ was my choice, and even If the hands of time were turn back, I wouldn't have changed my mind, however the other 2 qualifier games which were supposed to a lower amount of goals scored had the most, 3 and 5 goals eventually.

_______________

In the World Athletic Championship, depending on the types of competitions that are left, USA actually might get over that 13.5 line easily, I watch the women Pole Vault finals live today and the Gold Katie Moon won to bring USA to 7 Golds in total was a shared first place medal another, I actually thought they weren't going to include it in the final tally, but it only makes sense that they do, since it's a Gold medal still whether shared or not.

I'm sure some form of pain must still linger in your mind, after seeing him getting just 5 point despite the number of goals Aston Villa scored in the weekend, and there he goes tonight with a hattrick against Hibernians in Scotland within just 48 minutes.

Maybe he's a good choice for the weekend, but I wouldn't know, and I don't think I have the resources to bring him in, so it's literally a no go area for me, honestly!

You might not have gotten the news, but I didn't get news either not until after the deal and Neil Robertson game had began, whoever their next opponent was supposed to be withdrew already so that could really increased his chances had he won the qualifying round.

But what does it matter now that we both have him, right ? If my memory serves me right we have only one different player in that H2H, mine being K. Wilson, I don't remember who yours was actually.

That's Steve doing what Steve does best, I was luck enough to get the Blue 2022/2023 last season, Thanks to him as well, but have it as a prize is just yet another show of great gesture towards these sports.

Buway beware Bullrunbro might be coming for your head on this, I don't know what to expect of myself, but you sure know what I ever competition I get in, I'll never back out without giving it my all!
