To be honest, we haven't seen much of Hojlund so far. He was too young in Copenhagen, had decents patches in Austria and Denmark's national team and had a so-so breakthrough season in Italy.

Atalanta bought him for 15 million Euros, he scored 10 goals there in 34 games. Not really something that should have made him a 80+ million euros transfer.
But - it's United I guess. They have been brainless with their buys for quite some time now.

I'm not saying he's not good. I'm just saying that Dolberg had a similar path as a kid and is now barely getting any games. A huge gamble once again, not how you build good teams.

MAAManda with a clean 5/5. Congrats man, better to get kicked out of the Cup this way.

We go one by one and skip the first one that makes sense. In this case, you already did a Beckham with your 5th penalty (over or under 3,5 bookings).

__________________________

I'm out of the Cup as well, a clean victory for MAAManda who's actually dangerous when he remembers to submit his answers
He's got all 4 correct so far so I've got nothing to complain about, I could have done a little bit better but in these quick 5-question rounds it's hard to turn things around if it starts the wrong way.

Ja mislim da je istina negdje na pola. Fiat će biti tu još duže vrijeme ali pametno je djelomično i odmicati se od njega.

Štedim u BTC-u i dionicama/indeksima, to radim sam - bez brokera, banaka i tih pizdarija. Imam uvijek par mjesečnih plaća na računu u fiatu za normalan život, čim to naraste prebacim u nešto od gorenavedenog.
DCA je majka dobrih investicija - inflacija (normalna) je jedan od važnijih pokretača ekonomije i za očekivati je da će konstantno biti sve više i više novca u opticaju. Samim tim, dugoročno gledano, sve 'sigurne' investicije se isplate - pogotovo stvari poput Bitcoina, zlata ili SP500/Nasdaq/DJ30 indeksa.

S obzirom da CBDC postaje realnost i da će se doslovno moći pratiti gdje piškimo i kakimo, vjerujem da će alternativna sredstva plaćanja doživjeti procvat. Stoga - mislim da je pametno ulagati u kripto.


Nudio sam 30 starih za 20 novih, netko ode u banku u pon i zaradi 100 kn. Međutim pol njih me nije uopće ni skužilo, drugačiji mentalitet skroz. Kod nas bi ti to 10 ljudi samo od sebe ponudilo

E, napokon jedan projekt u kojeg idem all in. Pod all in mislim na tih 4k$ koliko je maksimalna investicija u ovom trenutku.

Projekt je Chainflip, dex/swap bridge koji će u sebi uključivati sve najveće blockchaine, uključujući i BTC.
Mislim da je ovo ogromna stvar, već neko vrijeme pizdim jer ne postoji neki normalni BTC-ETH bridge i govorim da će prvi koji to naprave zgrnuti ludu lovu.

Meni ovo super izgleda, full-diluted valuation je visok ali mislim da za ovakav projekt nije prenapuhan.
Token se koristi kao collateral, sa prikupljenim feejem se radi buyback/burn tokena - što token čini dugoročno deflatornim.

If you submit all on time and everything is incorrect and your opponent submits only 1 answer and it is correct, it would mean that he'd win 1-0, and get a negative point.
Not something we want to see ever happen and the chances are we won't. It will be impossible from next season anyway.


Will be from next season - if we did it now some players could make an argument that it's not fair that we switched it mid-season, and we agree with that.
All major rule changes will be seasonal.

__________________________

We are sorry that some things aren't set in stone, we knew the risks when we implemented lenient rules for this season.

Example - we're really close to losing DireWolfM14 from the competition. One more missed round and he's out, and again we have a shitty situation on our hands.
In that case, we can void all results or write it all as 3-0. If we void all, Rikafip and bullrun2020bro lose 1 negative point for late submission, if we write it as 3-0 across the league, they keep the negative point. Either way we go, there will be unhappy people again.
It's a really difficult terrain to navigate without stepping on some toes, we eventually have to step on some to avoid the rules having 7 pages. Even then, we'd still forget to put some things in there.

Let's close this now, we really remain open for suggestions. Just please do understand that we try to make it as fair and fun as possible for everybody.

This situation is perfectly clear. You submitted on time and got all answers wrong. If I had 7 correct, it would have been 7-0. I got 3 correct, so it's 3-0.

____________________________________________

There's a lot of stuff that has been said, some of it incorrect, but I really don't want to play ping-pong with you around this.
Also - please don't pinpoint one of us out. What Trofo writes I concur with, what I write he concurs with.
We never run any campaign or competition in a way that you described how Trofo does it and I really don't appreciate that kind of talk. It is untrue and childish.

Basically, it all comes down to this:


And it is correct.
I purposely crossed out the idiotic part of it. If you really think that there's a personal incentive behind awarding someone a bigger goal difference, then you live in a world that I'm unable to comprehend.

Now let's discuss the important part - why it isn't rule based and is subjective.

Considering that we had 16 new members joining, from which a lot is from Clubhouse and don't really read Bitcointalk, we decided we don't want to introduce a harsh penalty in which you instantly lose 3-0 if you're late this season. We'll introduce it next season and we have already said that multiple times.
Because of that we find ourselves in difficult situations every time somebody submits late.
In some rounds you lose 5 points if you're a second late and in some just a point, some rounds have 4 H2H questions and some have 1. Sometimes people submit on Fridays and are eligible only for 1 question.
We need to balance goal difference in a way that is fair to all participants and sometimes it means that you will get fucked over. This is a decision we won't be apologizing for, it's just something that has to be done this season because it's the lesser of 2 evils.
It is not intentional, it is not you we're targeting, it's because we can't make a fair rule at this point that would be beneficial for the competition. It's either 3-0 which would happen too often or balancing how to grade big results when somebody is late.

I already told you - 9 out of 10 LFC_Bitcoin's answers were invalid at the time of his submission. If you think you should have won 6-0, you are being selfish and are putting yourself ahead of the competition.
Paradoxically, you're accusing us of having an agenda whereas you're the one that's forcing something with no logic behind it whatsoever.

Bottom line - you see some sort of agendas against you that simply don't exist. If you want to continue with it feel free to do so, also feel free to yell from your balcony what a shitty job Cro2 is doing if you'll feel better.

We run a fair competition - to the best of our abilities. Getting slammed for f&%king you over goal difference? For fuck sakes, man.

A ono, polugodišnja plaća recimo. Ne bih znao uopće otkud krenuti s tim papirima s porezne.
Slažem se da zvuči glupo al neke stvari su mi toliko odbojne da bi vjerojatno morao imat neku baš ozbiljnu lovu unutra da se idem time baviti.

Ok mi je rizik da sve spušim ako je alternativa pričanje s polupismenim trogloditima iz HDZ-a.

Mislim da im je 5k eur bio minimalni ulog u trenutku kad sam ja razmišljao o tome.
Nebitno je li nekome 5k eur malo ili puno, za takav iznos očekujem barem minimum informacija (transparentan ugovor i osnovnu investicijsku strateginu), što je od njih bilo nemoguće dobiti.

Stvarno me zanima kako će se na kraju cijela situacija rasplesti. Nadam se da nitko neće izgubiti glavu, ali stvarno je opasno trgovati bez ikakve zaštite i izgubiti svu lovu svih investitora.

Fantastic, thanks again for your continuous efforts with this.
It is a huge amount of work but also a tremendous help for anybody that wants to keep their crypto balances private.

Gvardiol to City was one of the most logical summer transfers for me.

The best ball-playing team in the world filling the gap in defence with a fast, ball-playing left footed center back - you simply knew this was going to happen.

Gvardiol is pure quality and will be a world-class centre back for a long period of time. This is a great deal for everybody involved and he deserves to be breaking transfer records.

Yep, I agree. But the problem with the defence for me is also in the quality of our CB-s.
Van Dijk hasn't played well in ages, Konate is pure, utter shit, Matip is past it and Gomez is a Premier League player only because he's English. We really need a quality CB - and then we also need a good season from our new captain.

If VVD keeps his current form and is paired with either Konate or Matip, we'll be conceding like crazy even if we put Makelele from his prime years in front of them.

Nope, the odds weren't attractive at all. I did bet on Dinamo to win the first game, should have went with them to win yesterday as well.
Astana is a terrible team but I decided against it, because we tend to play horrible when the qualification is secured - which was the case before yesterday's game.

The next opponent is AEK - a team of similar quality. I think the cnances here will be 50-50, and you'll have this matchup in the BSFL for sure

Ja trenutno imam samo BTC i Tether - u nekom 50-50 omjeru. Imam par tokena sa strane (Arbitrum, ETH, BNB, MATIC) al u malim količinama i po parsto dolara u par shitara.

Globalna situacija još uvijek djeluje dosta riskantno i ne vjerujem u 'soft landing' priče - vjerujem da nas čeka ozbiljna financijska kriza. Sve što zaradim radom na forumu ostavljam u BTC-u, a Tether čuvam ako dođe do pravog, kataklizmičnog pokolja.

Neke dionice su mi nedavno otišle na 3x i najviše se mučim oko toga, super je vrijeme za prodaju ali kupio sam lani i to su KYC burze pa bih morao platit porez. Nije ga čak problem ni platit, kolko mi se ne da to prijavljivat tako da tu nisam pametan što napravit. Mislim da ću ih ostavit još godinu dana pa ako ode nazad na nulu - a jebat ga.

Ja sam faking junkie, imam Deltu Pro koju otvorim valjda 40 puta dnevno.

Al ok, ja tamo imam i alarme i tracking liste - al svejedno, poluupravlja mi životom. Volio bih jednog dana biti ko vi

Trenutno na malo manje od -13%.

Well - Ludogorets is a 40 mil$ team whereas Ljubljana is a 10-million one. Yes - football does not work like that, but it turned out to be a 50-50 game where you wouldn't have gotten a point if Ludogorets scored a penalty late on in the game.

Small margins, I personally felt Ludogorets is a better team overall so I went for it. Also - they just had to go through for me to win and for Olimpija you had to guess how as well (regular or extra time) - so I still feel Ludogorets was a better choice here even after they lost the game.

We can bluff all we want but we'll eventually pay it and they know it - that's just how we work.
I watched Lavia live and he did look like a decent player - and he's still really young. But this is crazy money for a guy that just dropped to the Championship.

The fact that there simply aren't that many good '6-es' (defensive midfielders) on the market helps Soton to push the price up. That's why Caicedo is rated at 80 million as well.

I thought I'll have an edge with this question, but MAAManda picked the same outcome as well. Those players aren't the ones that are consistent, so 2 or less was for me a 100% certain outcome.
CL football killed me yesterday - it will be hard to get to penalties now. These short rounds don't give much wiggle room when you're a goal down.


I don't think we ever had it - not sure though. So, extremely low I'd say.

Something's obviously bothering you but you speak in codes and walk around it - so I have trouble understanding what it is.
Just please explain it to us and tell us why you feel it's unfair and we'll evaluate it.

Yup, if he takes one and scores, it counts.


Nope, we put the deadlines in GMT time (forum time), while the spreadsheet takes our time (CET), which is +2.
So, whatever is earlier than 19:00 in the spreadsheet counts as correctly submitted on time.
