Japan win, did anyone take the outright promo for that? Would have netted quite a lot of freebets in addition to the winnings...


Yeah that absolutely floored me. I put my picks in generally with whatever knowledge I had of games and form from memory. And then soon after, I read the injury news and I thought hmm, ok maybe he needs to be not even competing, but it was, of course too late to change my answer.

Void saved me, and countless others probably!

Oh and yes, I do watch women's UCL actually, probably fewer than 5 matches in my lifetime. Mentioned in posts other places but their technical ability (esp at this club level) can be quite many levels above the average. I still think keeper is the area that needs most improvement, as is off-the-ball action, but overall, they're not bad to watch at all.

Yeah, I still think Gerrard needs more experience. Would love him to steer the ship, but only because he seemed such a fit spiritually (I remember even when King Kenny didn't do well on his return he still brought back a lot of cheer and was, well, he was responsible for bringing in Suarez, Hendo... I'll pretend he never brought Carroll in haha).


I couldn't agree more. But there is also another ingredient and that's mentality. Xavi and Arteta had loads, they brought belief back to the squad, while aligning that with the club's values.

Holy hell that hoodie combo looks super cool. Extra incentive, not to mention a huge prize pool (not something even close to what I expected after the experience of Season 1, no?).

And I know it's only Race 2 but yeah, it's funny how knowledge and perceived expertise can have nothing to do with pool position... in my case, I feel I'm best placed to perform in: EPL, SerieA/LaLiga/UCL, F1 -- in that order.

My positions in those pools?
EPL: 49
UCL: 15
Serie A/LaLiga: 10/14
F1: 9

Figures, huh?

Like swogerino says, I hope we're all proven wrong and we get Napoli vs whichever else from the other side -- because that would be the dream final in the circumstances we have.

Please, teach us that lesson. At least my money won will go some way to soothe my heartache. Then go and beat City too and meet Napoli haha.

P.S. I said it long ago. Chelsea is Kante. As soon as he doesn't play, I don't fancy them.

Put in my answers with some time so I don't get another embarrassing reminder heh heh. EURO is notorious for being unpredictable, but I tried to go with country form... let's see.

No MMA pls, don't let notblox1 have his way haha but agree, should be time to add MMA or boxing to the mix (but please, not when I face off jeremypwr).

My problem in these questions is my instinct to go for huge underdogs -- not the best strat in h2h worth 1 point instead of odds weight!


Trust me, all of us are rooting for you in this case haha. It got pretty epic with Igebotz on the final score (at one point even 7-6 with the Alonso drama) but we actually settled the tie in 24 hours... and in the end, I should be happy I protected most of my "goal difference".

Hands up here, I know I wrote off everyone else and said the time to beat Ajax was gone with Schreuder out, but am so glad them Rotterdammers finally put the Amsterdammers to the sword. Pity about Alkmaar too but they were anyway no one's favourite to keep their overperformance.

It's still plenty of points though, and one can only hope Ajax doesn't remember how to chase down a pack.


It's not sad, it's just a reflection of the quality of Eredivisie -- if they want more spots, then they have to keep on improving (I want to say Ajax has to also stop being a feeder team to the rest of Europe but they're not changing their policy any time soon).

I already suffered a false dawn with Kuyt's winning team all those years ago so even if they do win this one, I'm not sure they'll go far in Europe (but wouldn't it be nice if they started also as Europa winners?).

Yeah, I don't recall there ever being as tight a table as this season, from bottom to middle anyway, and it's been pretty much that way all season. I remember when Vieira and Gerrard arrived and most people thought it'd be a breath of fresh air to see such different ideas coming in. Was never meant to be, in the end.

Kompany next to come, and I hear a lot of chants for his name as Pep's successor but I don't think that would end well either.

Oh, and fitting that the only slam point won this week was FMbetbru, the Yellow Cap winner.

Blades got the short end of the stick in their FA Cup tie, I still hope they provide a valuable upset for me, but I'm not counting on it -- just hope it doesn't derail their other (more realistic) fight for promotion.

It would be pretty special if they somehow win the cup (which brings Europa) while failing to make it out of the Championship, huh? They can afford to lose 2 more games, of course, and still Boro need to win everything else, so I know it's an unlikely scenario but I'd take a bet on those odds

Yeah, coming in here, seeing the post that somehow handed me the win, and then take it away again? I need some psychological reimbursement to restore my mental state. Pretty crazy for me that they'd go ahead and make an announcement before ensuring all appeal processes have taken due course.

I would have been 2nd in the leaderboard, but I'm happy with 9th, of course. *fake cry meme*

May I congratulate the 3 yellow capers, whose names all start with "s"?

Hey Igebotz, I can't remember where I said it, but I was asking Chelski to please thump Real Madrid... and the bearers of destiny answered this call.

I'll back Chelsea here, both in betting and in predictions. Easy for me, right?

Also somewhat disappointed with the draws, but I do feel like it could have been a bit more exciting, some missed opportunities but it's all random, of course, right? Heh

CLS63! We are paired up (and yeah, I'm counting down opponents now since it's all a 1-legged competition). It's pointless to want to meet anyone though, everyone's just as good. Have to say I fear jeremypwr if it's a week of American sports

For future, and this is just a note as a suggestion, if the leagues are too small to last an entire season, we can always to the Scottish Premiership style of 3-legged seasons, and then a final section where the top half plays each other, and the bottom half play each other in single legs (to achieve at least 3 games against each team per season with another showdown in the same half).

Can't believe I actually won GW 10, don't even remember it.

But hey, my persistence continues and my captain Saka took my entire team up with his brace + assist... I had all my bench not playing, and 3 players on field also not playing, so I have to say I'm pretty chuffed still managed to get 50+ points from Arsenal + Havertz haha.

I really should have paid attention to FPL much longer, feels nice to be climbing up slowly when I actually make transfers (then again, when you're bottom, going up should be easy, right?).

2nd chance league is better indicator of how I'm doing, which is shitty

Man I hate adding to all the PSG posts here but of all the upsets I was looking at over the weekend, I completely overlooked PSG -- who before last night didn't lose at home for how long now?

I used to play CB in my school days, for some weird reason our coach didn't think my height disadvantage (I was very short even then) was a problem.

He must be a spirit animal for Galtier, playing a guy only 1.5 inches taller than me in the heart of defence. What do you expect a nervous noob to do? Make mistakes.


You'll quickly learn to ignore posters like Sirait Their quality has actually improved over time, but only in grammar and spelling. Actual value to the sports they presumably follow..?

Thank you for the consideration, Cro2, really appreciate it. Pleased to be supporting a service and brand I also look forward to using more =)

^ AZ Alkmaar, I don't mind saying that I've been posting in Eredivisie thread they would have fallen off the pace by now.

I'm still wrong, and still hope to be wrong (but in a way that Feyenoord still takes it as they're my spiritual Dutch team), I much prefer Ajax to sit below Alkmaar -- and right now if the scores stay this way, it's going to look like that (if Alkmaar beat Twente)!

Hey Rikafip! Welcome! Actually you're not at too big a disadvantage now. I think bottom of the Division are still people with 1 point (not sure about current round).

Pull off 3 or 4 wins and I have a feeling you're in contention for promotion

Thin week, but can't really complain after we got some extra points from Toney believers (despite the yellow).

I actually just decided to bench all my team NOT playing, and then putting in two Chelski bois (this is sort of a ragetransfer and semi promise I made to Ige anyway).

Season is like a dream I want to end now, really.

Man, I didn't even watch Arsenal anymore after 1-0, thought they were too good, upset of the night, probably of the tournament so far (weighing in the stakes anyway) -- but that's just odds wise. I always thought the Portuguese teams have been punching above their weight for past 2 seasons. Shame I missed the goal live. F-ing hell.

I jinxed them though, so now I'm going to jinx Real Madrid by saying they're going to sweep UCL... again.

Hope you made it back ok cryptofrka with at least a hangover haha. I'd hate travelling back after that down. I can't even function normally the last 2 days thinking of it.

Not Potter, not Rodgers, but Vieira out.

Didn't see that coming, but I guess Palace must be feeling nervous now after a bad string of games... and then they get to face Arsenal next. I'm actually thinking this could be dropped points for the Gunners after their low in Europa.

Slam points very important in this next round
