Well. Looks like Sojo/buway is going to be playing FPL once more. I'm playing in everything else, so why not here too right? More reason for everyone else to join, as I am likely to continue in the direction of "don't know what I'm doing". Heh.

Careful, boys. The age of Nunez is arriving. #brokenrecords

Bas slazem neki listic, gledam parove konferencijske lige i upadne mi u oko da Sportsbet nudi cak 4.4 na Ruzomberok kod kuce protiv Hajduka. Gledao sam nesto sitno Slovake protiv Trabzonspora te iako su izgubili obje utakmice uopce mi se ne cine kao bezazlena ekipa a Hajduk me definitivno nije impresionirao protiv onih ovcara a ni protiv Slaven Belupa pa mi se cini da je Hajduk ovdje debelo precijenjen (na njihovu pobjedu koefeicijent 1.72). Nekako mi se cini da barem 1x ima smisla jer je koef skroz solidan, 2.2.

Sta kazu lokalni kladionicari?

Ne znam jeste vidjeli, ode Mierez u UAE za samo 3 milijuna eura i to odmah, prije ove utakmice protiv Zire. Nekako mi je to malo novaca za njega pa me cudi da ni Dinamo ni Hajduk nisu reagirali, pogotovo ovi zadnji jer bi im igrac takvog profila sjeo kao budali samar. Jedino sto mi ima smisla je da je Osijek za njih izvisio puno vecu cijenu. 

Nisam ništa od toga ispratio. Danas sam na rukomet na Olimpijskim Igrama tipovao na iznenađenja. Očekivao sam da će Egipat pobjediti Španiju ali nažalost je utakmica otišla u produžetke a onda su izgubili. Tipovao sam i na pobjedu Njemačke protiv Francuske i dobili su ih nakon produžetaka. Na favorite Dance sam igrao protiv Šveđana i to je jedva prošlo. Ostala je Norveška-Slovenija i tu nemam apsolutno nikakvo mišljenje niti se usuđujem nešto igrati.

You are right, anyone can get eliminated at each round.

Previous rounds results do not carry on to the next round, but it adds to the total point tally which determines the winner at the end. Whatever your position in the total point table, if a player scores 2 points or less in a round they get eliminated, if everyone scores 3 and above those with the lowest points will get eliminated.

If you buy back in, you total point tally is retained.

  yeh, 👍🏾 thanks for the correction 😉.  I meant security policy!

Quick one @cryptofrka and trofo. I  just saw that the tennis Canada finals will be on Monday, correct me if I'm wrong but then, what will happen to tennis question if it's extends beyond Sunday.  Supposedly sinner lost or  lose 2 matches  before semifinals on Sunday against those that answered 3 or more lost, when the tonnament didn't end on Sunday.

@Trofo, are you willing to change the questions in the pool?
La Liga will start a new season in mid-August, so this season should be 2024-2025. It might also be a good idea to consider starting a new thread, fresher thread since this one has turned into a megathread. Locking this one up and starting fresh is my advice, but the decision is yours.

What do you think, @Trofo?



By the way, I know the thread title is correct.

Julian Alvarez going to ATM for €95m oh God how did they manage to pull that out? Julian Alvarez is good but he's a €65-70m max player. Sad we're watching Alvarez and Gallagher go to ATM while we're getting their bum Samu Omorodion for £35m. No more Osimhen then ... I hate this football club right now... No single ambition

I am really puzzled at Manchester City's reluctance in the transfer market, I would have thought the plan was to keep the squad as it is and build on that with the youngsters, but players have gotten older and now they sell Alvarez who featured in more matches for them last season than almost everyone else in the team.

Great ROI on Alvarez, their net spend will be much lower now. All the talk of using money to win the league will have to get silenced some more, not that I ever agreed with it.

Can you please make readable 1st round because I can't see my answers? Somebody didn't deactivate filter

It further divides the gap between the rich and the poor. There's no real way to protect young players, and these top clubs poach youngsters that are 15-16 years old, even younger.
Then they cannot give them playing time, so they loan them out.

A player from, let's say, Preston is a huge potential in 14-yo categories. Preston has no way to keep him, although they had him since he was 5 years old. Let's say Arsenal got him, the case goes to tribunal, Preston gets pennies (few million tops).
Otherwise, the player would have played for Preston aged 16. Now he's in Arsenal, he can't, so he goes to 3 loans until he's 21 years old. After that he almost always gets sold for profit and his base club gets nothing.

The system is shitty and needs to be changed, otherwise let's just speed it all up and have no money limit Superleagues.

Something like that. Eventually it would be up to you and Trofo to make sure that you stay on the right side of the fine line between trick and justified confusion.

It's a nice to have in my opinion, but would probably cause a lot of discussions if someone doesn't catch it in the middle of the thread here.

I like the idea of picking new teams every time, but maybe as cryptofrka says a lot of work. Should we do it every month? Easier to manage. Picking same team throughout is too boring.

What a crazy game, i was not following it at all because i know i lose the poin on that question, but damn what a rain of goals.

I win my game in this round with a super game also 6-5 against Harkorede, super game.

^ Rules? What rules haha. Sent PM to the other two (sorry about that).

Has Serie A always been the smallest pool? I always assumed the same players in both La Liga / Serie A. It actually makes more sense if La Liga has more, given so many Spanish-speaking people on the forum.
