By the way, I remembered a funny thing - yesterday Michael Owen said that taking the title with Bayern is a small achievement compared to becoming the League's top scorer (breaking Shearer's record). A rather dubious thesis, because with Bayern he will have many titles and records, and being the top scorer in a club that occupies 8th place is not an achievement, but an eternal reproach about a failed career.
Owen went too far with his evaluation of the top scorer title compared to the Bundesliga title. I guess I understand why he is saying that. On the one hand he himself won the top scorer title two times, so this is a try to upgrade his own achievements retrospectively, and on the other hand he refers to the never-ending dominance of Bayern Munich, which I kind of understand when somebody says the title lost relevance. I agree with that to a certain degree. But what you call dubios is right because really, if you end the season as 8th and become the top scorer with 29 goals, then what? Also, Harry Kane probably understood that there won't be a top scorer called Harry Kane who plays at Tottenham when there is Erling Haaland playing for Manchester City. Owen wouldn't have become the top scorer either against Haaland. Probably nobody does for as long as Haaland plays in the Premier League. Owen was not referring to a single season, but to the total number of goals in the Premier League (the record holder is Shearer, who has 260 goals). Kane was two seasons away from breaking that record. But the meaning does not change - this is the usual statistical achievement in an ordinary club and it is nonsense compared to real titles. Kane made the right choice. We saw the end of one saga, now we are waiting for the end of the saga with Mbappe. |

Elopn twitted today that the fight will be in Rome and not with UFC lol https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1689963696703848449Okay, so they are serious after all. So it might really happen unless he is just trolling about that ancient arena of the gladiators. But yep he is promoting Meta and X. Elon must have been banking on his height like he could really fight in this sport. This is gonna be a money-making business for them. Funny Dana White was scratched out after making the hype. The previous news was that Musk invited Zuckerberg to debate... in the end, does anyone understand what awaits us? I have suspicions that this will be a big deception (of our expectations) and we will see not a fight, but some kind of bullshit like a battle in the virtual world. And in general, I don’t understand why Musk is promoting Zuckerberg, it’s obvious that his image is much cooler than that of the freak/thief Zuckerberg. |

@SkySportsNews BREAKING: Liverpool are willing to break their record transfer fee to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton 🔴💰 https://twitter.com/skysportsnews/status/1689723044376236032I would love this to happen, just don’t see it though. Am I gonna get my hopes up to end up getting hurt though? Absolutely  When rumors arose that Mbappe might move to Liverpool, Klopp said something to the effect that they would have a big transfer that would surprise everyone (he hardly meant Mbappe at the time), perhaps it should have been Caicedo. But now that Caicedo has chosen Chelsea (as they write this will be announced today), it remains to be seen whether Klopp has a back-up plan where to spend money and strengthen the club. |

I knew you made a typo, but just in case, I checked - the Rangers took not 10th but second place in the Scottish League. In general, there are only two big teams and it is impossible for them to take a place lower than the second. I don't even know if this has happened in the last 20-30 years. The periods of dominance of Celtic and Rangers change but they are always at the top.
As for the bet, it's hard to choose because the Rangers will be happy even with draw. Therefore, betting on a simple victory is too risky.
Well I think the difference is huge if we consider the name of each team where Glasgow Rangers is one of the two legendary teams in Scotland having won many titles where Servette at least these 20 last years have not been consistent at all so the quality clearly indicate that Glasgow Rangers should qualify for the group stages most likely.The only problem they have is that they by themselves complicated the game when they were leading 2-0 they concede a penalty which was turned into goal by Servette.I have seen the game though and the quality difference was obvious,I don't think such quality difference can be overturn just by playing in your home stadium but let's see. As I understand it, when Servette was in the minority, they played bus? How else to explain that the Rangers could not increase the score in their favor. I don't know what their plan is for the home game but since the bus is going so well for them they might play it again hoping for an occasional goal or a push at the end of normal time. The paradox is that the Rangers may also play the upcoming game defensively first, so I don't want to bet on them to simple win and the double chance bet is too low to be interesting. |

Since yesterday, the news has been saying that Tottenham and Bayern have agreed on a transfer, and now Kane has the last word. Apparently, since Kane's word will be the actual announcement of the transition, it will be solemnly arranged (I don't even know what it will be - either a farewell to Tottenham or a presentation in Bavaria), so we should wait for the results of the medical examination. But the transfer actually took place.
After it was announced yesterday that Bayern Munich has reached agreement with Tottenham Hotspur's management and that they were waiting for the player's response on wether to continue with the transfer, I knew that the England international would definitely accept the deal. Tottenham manager in his match conference today confirmed that Harry Kane's mind was already made up already made up to leather North London club. He's given so much to Tottenham and now it's time to give much to his career by winning major silverwares with Bayern Munich By the way, I remembered a funny thing - yesterday Michael Owen said that taking the title with Bayern is a small achievement compared to becoming the League's top scorer (breaking Shearer's record). A rather dubious thesis, because with Bayern he will have many titles and records, and being the top scorer in a club that occupies 8th place is not an achievement, but an eternal reproach about a failed career. |

I forgot all about FPL so must pay late (sorry about that) and must now put in inspired picks without even knowing transfer updates.
Thanks for reminder. Just so occupied of late...
Why do I do this to myself? Why?
I hope you have not forgotten about your thread and this season we will see a lot of bets?  I know that at a greater distance your results were better. Now we have 30 members!  Great news! By the way, what is the ratio of beginners to experienced players? I want to know in advance how many participants will get hit in the groin from the very beginning (remembering my experience in the Fantasy World Cup)  |

Personally, I won't go for this game because I don't have much information about Servette or Rangers. I just know Servette was 5th place in the Swiss league in the last season while Rangers got 10th place in the Scottish league which can show us the difference however the Scottish league is not the same as the Swiss at all but I think this game is worth to risk and bet on Servette for the better rate because the rate for Servette is 3.35 wilke it's 2.13 for Rangers.  I knew you made a typo, but just in case, I checked - the Rangers took not 10th but second place in the Scottish League. In general, there are only two big teams and it is impossible for them to take a place lower than the second. I don't even know if this has happened in the last 20-30 years.

 Don't forget guys, today we have the opening match for the saudi league bringing together Al-Ahli against Al-Hazm. If we look at the H2H two teams, Al-Ahli is superior with several wins and of course with a very dangerous squad owned by Al-Ahli which is almost entirely filled with European star players, this will definitely be an easy match to win. From the odds offered by the dealer, it is very clear that Al-Ahli is winning with very small odds. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm gets so many odds @10.00 and it's very impossible to win. But if you are not quite satisfied with the odds for Al-Ahli @1.22, we can bet using the handicap (-1.5) with odds @1.70 which has a much bigger winning result. I agree that it is better to take a handicap if you bet on Al Ahli. 1.22 is a very small coefficient even for such a difference in the class of teams. In addition, this is an opening match and often there is increased randomness, so I would either bet on favorite with handicap or double chance on the underdog (this is a bet for playing at a distance, but I think it makes sense). |

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the official introduction but some time ago there was news that Tottenham still hadn't given permission for Kane's trip to Germany which was scheduled for today.
Other news at this time is that Kane is still waiting for approval from Tottenham at home.
I don't understand what Tottenham are doing now when this is already a deal but they are still trying to buy time for Kane's test at Bayern.
This will cause uncertainty because of the fickleness of Bayern's management. Will this eventually also become hot news again where Tottenham try to spend the deadline so that Kane does not leave.

No matter what the punch is, even if Fury slips and falls to the uppercut himself, a win is a win. Since this fight will somehow be official, then someone will write 1 on their record, and someone 0. But for me it will still remain a shameful circus (on Fury’s part) that chickened out and deprived the audience of the unification fight.
He cannot blame someone for that if ever his fight against Francis Ngannou will not be fruitful as he expected and hence will be a huge embarrassment to his career because he shook the wrong tree instead of continuing his way in the boxing career for the unification fight. For what it's worth, he have this coming and since this will be a professional bout, he should expect already that Ngannou will be coming to him hard because Ngannou himself doesn't want losses specially now that people are doubting him, he loved that! In my opinion, it is too late to argue since Fury has already consistently disgraced himself (the first time he ran from Klitschko). I fully admit that in the future Fury may collect all the belts: the first way is to wait for the older Usyk to weaken and beat him “guaranteedly”, and the second way is to wait until Usyk loses to someone else and then take the belts. But all this will already make little sense, besides, the show fights are addictive - a lot of money with a minimum of effort and risk. It's hard to come back from this. |

This result looks a foregone conclusion and I must say that 1.3 is a very good odds to bet on. There is another interesting option:
Erling Braut Haaland 1.49
After a series of unsuccessful games, everyone expects goals from Haaland and I fully admit that he will start with this game (maybe even make a hat-trick although bookmakers expect 2 goals from this game as the most likely outcome).
Well the opening game is always tricky, I expect Manchester City to win, maybe with 2 goals and Erling Haaland to score too, I don't think he will score hattrick but maybe a goal or two. I am personally waiting to see Chelsea - Liverpool match in Stamford Bridge since Liverpool odds look better in that away game. I wonder know if Klopp will be able to restore the team to its good and successful shape. If we talk about bets, then I generally crossed out the Chelsea-Liverpool game for myself. I have no idea how the game can end and even BTTS or total looks incomprehensible. If we talk about the interestingness and importance of the game, then in fact this is the only "big" game in the entire first round and of course it is worth watching. |

It's probably a similar situation to people who invest in cryptocurrencies. They don't want to talk about their involvement because it's a difficult topic that pushes you to take a stance and divides people into those who appreciate it and those who don't. I see a lot of similarities with this and gambling because if you tell a gambler that you're doing it, or someone who used to gamble a lot, they'll start talking with you about the things you played, where you did it and discussing all the details, but if you approach someone who thinks it's an addiction, or worse, a sin, you'll get into an argument with them.
Analogies can be drawn with anything - for example, with BDSM or religion. Many topics for people are sensitive and it is best that only close people know about your "special" hobbies/activities. Although even from close people you have to hide something, because if the wife (for example) perceives gambling in a completely negative light, it is better not to convince her that there is responsible gambling just for the sake of entertainment, but simply to keep her uninformed. |

Can anyone explain how the game scheme changes? Or should I just switch from defender to midfielder and thus change 4-4-2 to 3-5-2? Due to problems with VPN (and my country being banned from accessing the site) I only use my smartphone, but I think I've checked all the options and can't find the scheme change anywhere.
You just swap your defender for mid or forward and formation adjusts automatically. You have to have 5 defenders - 5 midfielders and 3 - forwards in the club. But formation can be almost anything you want. At least 3 def, 3 mid and 1 for Got it, thanks! But after looking at who my fifth midfielder was, I left 4 defenders (in the hope that Newcastle would not miss a single goal) In fact, it's a pity that the amount for transfers is very small, so the game is like guessing successful players and not like picking a team for each round. It seems to me that if the amount was 110-115 million, the game would be more flexible. |

I think Expecting Manchester City to win with confidence in their Premier League debut, their recent setbacks inspiring them to success. Their motivation is fueled by the Community Shield defeat and their success overshadows Burnley. Betting on City convincing victory their elite status necessitates continuous concentration for a great season debut.
Also Erling Haaland is leading the attacking drive, thus an early victory appears possible despite the loss of star power. Vincent Kompany a former city player who is now the Burnley coach engages in a master-student conflict with Guardiola creating an intriguing undercurrent.
This result looks a foregone conclusion and I must say that 1.3 is a very good odds to bet on. There is another interesting option: Erling Braut Haaland 1.49After a series of unsuccessful games, everyone expects goals from Haaland and I fully admit that he will start with this game (maybe even make a hat-trick although bookmakers expect 2 goals from this game as the most likely outcome). |

~ I can't understand - can I choose the team formation or is it always 4-4-2? I think everyone wants to play with a maximum of 3 defenders, but is it possible? I know that in some variations of Fantasy Football such flexibility is possible.
~
I think I will start in 3-5-2 formation this season.

To find out real opinions, one must look at voting with money and not with simple votes that cost nothing to the one who made a mistake in the forecasts. I have always been amused by the American betting format - yes, in a sense it is convenient (it seems that it is maximally simplified so that the most stupid can bet hahaha), but if we want to move from quotes to percentages, then difficulties arise. The usual format is much simpler (you only need to divide the unit by the coefficient and we will find out the percentage). |

Yes, I understand perfectly what you mean. This feeling ... and it is not clear whether it is common to everyone (everyone thinks that they are smarter than others) or advertising unobtrusively inspires us with these ideas about easy wealth, but I remember that I also dreamed for a while. But practice quickly destroys this myth, and by the way, you are very lucky that your lesson cost only $ 100, many people lost a lot of money before they realized that all these "forex brokers" are unscrupulous casinos.
I think it's easy for any young man to believe himself that he knows everything about life when he earned his first money in trading or gambling. And here you don't even need advertising, human nature and maximalism do everything themselves. After all, at that age, young people do not know anything about other types of earnings, they all seem incomprehensible and complicated ( 5 years at university, then to get a low-paid job). And then suddenly there is such a way, and all the skills are already there. How can you not think that you are the smartest? As I understand it, we are from the same country In our conditions, this self-confidence algorithm works with tenfold strength. Any normal person, when looking at the ridiculous salaries of people who have studied for many years and then at any other activity (even such as gambling), will make an obvious conclusion that it is not profitable to work It is better to try to earn a lot with strange methods than to receive a guaranteed measly salary. |
