Oof, you will get a penalty for this my man.
Maybe a sidebet in R15? So you remember the name


It will be possible, we will have some sort of 'fairness' penalty for the teams that have collected 3 late submissions.
It will work something like this - you pay the fee at the beginning of the season, if you miss 1 game you get half the fee back and if you miss 2 or more, you don't get it back.

Trofo and I will define it in the next week or so, as well as some other things still left to discuss. We are fairly confident that Season 4 will be fun.

Nisam ja rekao da su Amerikanci išta gluplji od nas, samo sam rekao da su glupi. Koliko je svijet u globalu zapravo glup sam počeo shvaćati tek kroz društvene mreže, to i je jedan od glavnih razloga zašto sam se odmah skinuo s njih.
Zašto sam istaknuo Amerikance? A jebiga, jedno 2 milijuna puta je opasnije tko je predsjednik Amerike nego Hrvatske - a birat će ga isto neobrazovano glasačko tijelo koje informacije kupi s Instagrama a ne iz novina jer je ozbiljno novinarstvo izumrlo pred 20 godina.

Generalno mislim da idemo u ružnom smjeru a to je s obzirom na količinu opasnog oružja u svijetu opasnije nego ikad prije. Dosta ti je jedna budaletina na krivom mjestu i ode sve u krasan kurac.

You just write 'Superbowl 58 boxscore'. I'm sending you the link from ESPN that I used, and also from USAToday - but there are many options to choose from.

Regarding my relegation struggles - somehow I'm still safe if I win - but I'd prefer an easier opponent than Slissy. Maybe mafia makes him forget to submit?

Where's the link to the pool? Or is it invite only?
I'll send the money today and am in, of course. Will take tremendous skill to be worse than last year, but I'll do my best.

I knew defending 5th would be difficult, and I got both games wrong.
I needed any Nigeria win other than 1-0 to still make it, but Nigeria didn't deserve anything from the game yesterday - they were blown off the pitch.

I'm really happy for Haller - it is a great story with everything he's gone through. He scored the winning goals both in the SF and in the final, and for yesterday's goal it takes incredible skill (and some luck, of course) to do.

Congrats to all the winners, see you in the next one.

Everything has been rated, this was hard to do on a small screen at work being constantly interrupted by colleagues so please doublecheck your results - it is an important part of the season.
I will do it again at home, and Trofo will too, but help us out a bit here - both of us are having a chaotic day.

Nothing is official until later in the afternoon.

We have our 2nd Division 3 finalist - it is MAAManda with a perfect Superbowl 5/5 result!
So - the Division 3 playoff final is MAAManda - Jinetics1111.

The winner will be promoted to Division 2, and the loser will play another playoff game with 13th team from Division 2 for the last spot.

Freebet winners are:
Division 1 - Harkorede (40$ freebet)
Division 2 - ralle14 (30$ freebet)

Round 15 will be extremely interesting for a lot of people, good luck to you all.

Jayce, thanks for the hammering btw
I'm lucky my GD was decent so it won't hurt me - if I'm tied on points I will be the better team.

We're still waiting for 3 questions to be settled - I'll probably fall asleep somewere in the middle of the AFCON final so I'll rate everything tomorrow - we're waiting for the Superbowl anyway.
Trofo will update the spreadsheets tomorrow after work. Freebets winners will be announced tomorrow as well.

The questions for the last league round are here.

The deadline is February 13th, 18:00 GMT.
Champions League is back, and we have some tennis and biathlon added into the mix.

We still don't know who the 2nd Division 3 playoffs finalist is, Jinetics1111 is the 1st one.

I'm tagging the ones with something to play for:

Gabriel saved my GW, otherwise it would have been a total shitshow. 6-0 Arsenal, I didn't see it coming - expected a really close game.
I guess the Salah situation will be the biggest doubt of GW25. I thought I'd surely have him because I expected that he'd be a part of the last round's team, but seems way too risky now.

Will be hard to select a proper captain, I feel Liverpool's got the better fixtures. Nunez to outscore Haaland? If he could tap one in an empty net, I'd say for sure. But can he?

Real is the 2nd best choice in my opinion, there's 1 game I prefer to that. I do feel a lot of people close to the top will go all in on Real though.

Regarding the outsiders, I liked both Borussia and Barcelona. Didn't bet on any of them though.


Yup. But H2H is way more fun

Ma ne pričam toliko o tome što koriste društvene mreže. Pričam o tome da si prije na neki način morao 'zaslužiti' medijski prostor a danas ga svaka budala ima u neograničenim količinama.
Nije meni problem ako Elon Musk svoju kandidaturu za predsjednika pokrene preko TikToka. Problem mi je ako to napravi nekakav Floyd Mayweather, Kylie Jenner ili sličan komad budale.

Više od pola Amerike doslovno ne zna na karti pokazat di se nalaze. Ako im neki TikTok celebrity kaže da će im napravit veću, bolju i stariju Ameriku preko cijelog Meksika, retardi će ga izabrat.

Me too, it's just a common practice nowadays. I think Bayern is too big to actually consider anybody else to be competition, especially a team with a new coach that finished 20+ points behind them last season - so they didn't trigger it.

I hope they take the title as well - will probably be Alonso's last chance with Leverkusen.


Sure - Bayer dominated afterwards. But the first goal in these kind of games is always crucial.

Pred 5-6 godina sam u bijesu kakvo debilno društvo postajemo iz zajebancije nacugan pred frendovima razvio teoriju kako će se predsjednici za koju godinu birat na TikToku.
Fast forward par godina i stvarno mislim da nismo ni toliko daleko.

Sjećam se kolko sam usran bio kad sam prvi put gledao Black Mirror - gledaš u nešto što znaš da ćeš živjet za koju godinu. Tako i ovo - znaš da dolazi al ne želiš si još priznat.

I mismanaged the Haaland situation in literally every game of the season - which is proving to be extremely costly.

Well, I wildcarded to be ready for GW25 and to bring much needed changes to the team so no point in crying now I guess. Double GW without Erling, yay - looking forward to it. He will be triple captain literally to everyone but me.

I'm surprised he's able to play, usually players that are loaned out cannot play against their parent clubs. Somebody from Bayern's transfer team will be yelled at tonight.

__________________________________

Shitty situation I find myself in, losing 2-0 to jayce with 2 different H2H questions remaining.
I have to say I've been crap in the last few rounds, if I get relegated (which is looking likely) it will be well deserved.

Half of the Pot B will do it, I know I would if I wasn't in the prizes

Finally submitted mine, went the 'safe' way. Wanted to go with higher odds on more pairs (Dortmund looks really attractive) but basically needed them all to hit to be significantly better than going all in on a single team I am quite sure is winning.

Yep, we're not much for long breaks. A week or 2 max between seasons, we need a bit of time to set everything up properly.


Nah, I'm not against it. Just saying it needs to be balanced properly.
BSFL is a bit different - here we don't have huge payouts and no payouts - we have something for everyone.

We have to keep it the same way - it is H2H and every game has to mean something. Otherwise you'd have more people forgetting or simply not caring to submit if their season goes wrong.

I have some thoughts on giving gamblers a chance to earn some extra money as well, so am curious to see what Trofo has come up with.

Anyway - our goal is to expand BSFL and add something new every season (or 2), we want to keep you active here because that's how we give something back to our sponsor

As far as I know, he's ok for the game.
There has been some talk about the flu yeah, but doesn't seem serious.

I start badly as well, with KDB benched. Luckily I did not choose him as captain, he was my 2nd choice after (yeah buwa, have your fun) Running chicken Nunez.

Finally back to CL action, the best part of the football season is ahead of us.

There will be some Hail Mary choices in the pot B as well, and it will require us on top to be a bit more proactive with our picks.
If by any chance Copenhagen wins, 30 people will be ahead of us in no time

In Pot A however there are a few of us with significant leads. That's the one that kinda looks impossible to fuck up - I submitted that in minutes. For Pot B I'm revising my picks for 2 days already.

We still don't know. It's tough to balance the rewards - what we're doing now is making sure that every player gets at least something in return.
If we introduce an entrance fee to Division 2, we will probably continue with the same logic - a smaller fee that will at least be covered by end of the season reward.

Regarding the budgets - they won't be increasing in the following season. We think that we're in the right spot, so if we want to increase the rewards it will have to come out of our own pockets.

Trofo and I will have a more concrete discussion about this at the end of the season, and once we define S04 with Sportsbet as well.

The fight for the prizes will be really close. I'm still on 5th spot (the last one to merit a prize) with no way of attacking the upper positions, but facing a fierce competition to maintain it.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's picks, especially from buwaytress. He'll go for something out of the ordinary and bottle this, I'm quite sure of it
