Tiebreaker: 31 points

Oof, I'd be furious if I was a Mali fan. Missed penalty, 45 minutes with an extra player, having a lead, conceding in the 90th minute.
Playing 30 extra mins with an extra player, conceding in the last minute.

To be fair, they didn't create much - Ivory Coast was lucky but also deserved it for staying in the game until the last minute.

Well done Toon, you cost me 25mBTC today. You have to do something really special to concede 4 goals to Luton.

City playing on Monday, so let's increase the gap tomorrow. Arsenal doesn't look as good as last season, I feel confident we won't lose the game.
Thiago looked fantastic in training, I hope for a cameo appearance - he's a perfect fit for such a game.

Agreed. I took Sterling because they had a good run of games and now can't get rid of him because there's always something more important to tackle.
I think this is the round where he finally gets the boot - but I have to see what's wrong with Gordon before that - he was substituted at HT today.

Good decision to captain Watkins - hopefully it keeps me in the race. These extra 18 (hope he gets 3 bonus) points can be big.

No idea, it's an event more than sport. I think NFC team is a bit better, I also asked my friend who is a huge NFL fan and he agreed.
Doesn't mean a thing though, but I kinda feel that I'm well placed at this point. A lot of it still to be played though.

I knew not having Richarlison would bite me in the ass - but I simply hate the guy too much. Him and Bruno Fernandes are 2 people I'll never have in any team I choose - I don't even use them in Fifa.
Now I need Sterling to do something, I'm running short on differentiators. A lot of people went with Richarlison and I'm still stuck with Gordon and Raheem.

I hope my Watkins captain pick does the trick - he should be scoring a few in that game.

We plan to have at least 1 game per day, which is sometimes hard to do considering that we didn't know the matchups for the AFCON/Asia Cup when we were asking questions.
This weekend will be packed, and then hopefully next week we'll have a more regular schedule that offers at least something every day.

That being said, a part of the NFL question was played as well, NFC (Eli's team) is leading 12-6 after Thursday's program.

Nope, want to see who's returning home from AFCON/Asia Cup.
Also thinking about Nunez, he's finally playing well, but he's semi-injured.

Then I also have to decide whether to Wildcard or not - but no matter what happens, I'm keeping Alvarez (and KDB).

Yeah, not sure how City will line up. In their first game of the season (the one where KDB got injured) he started as no. 10 while KDB started in the middle.
I expect the same going forward - KDB paired with Rodri, Foden and Doku/Bernardo wide and Alvarez as a no. 10. He has been too good this season to be ignored.

Considering that KDB is back, I might even continue to go without Haaland. He is my single biggest mistake of the season - although KDB will feed him like a baby.


I watched 95% of all the games Liverpool played in the last 20-25 years
When referees make a mistake, I'll say it - I have no issues with winning lucky. I even like it sometimes, it makes the losing party lose their shit even more.

However, I stand by my opinion that the big calls were good. No foul on Gallagher for sure, no foul in the buildup for Bradley's goal. Don't recall what else you mentioned.

Could be the Arsenal - LFC game. I have Nunez to contribute, you don't, and it's the only different answer.
The news are that he's a major doubt for the game, if he doesn't play I'm losing that one. His leg was swollen after the last game, Sunday's getting closer.

I'm sure he'll want to play, so I'm hoping he gets the green light.

He'll be 40 years old when he goes there.

Don't get me wrong, the guy's a legend and is still going strong. But come on, this sport takes all you've got. Can a 42-year old guy really do it against all the youngsters anymore?

I'm sure it isn't just for PR - they will expect results from him. I just feel it's too late and find this really bizarre.

All decisions were spot on. By the way, Chelsea is so horrible that 20 referees wouldn't help you.


He's going to the bench, and he's the luckiest guy ever as well. Whatever he puts in the box, someone converts.
3 assists from 0.5 xA and 2 clean sheets, replaced 2 min before the Chelsea goal.

I am happy to see him do well, but I don't rate him at all. Hopefully he gets 5 more assists like this and we sell him to some team doing scouting through statistic analysis.

______________________

Everybody doing well this round I guess. The real fun starts soon though - suddenly there are too many options to choose from and 75% of the teams near the top will wildcard in the next 2-3 GW's.

I went the 'safe' way and am currently sitting at 0/3. I thought LFC would hammer Chelsea, but the last 10 games or so were all low scoring so I changed my mind.

In the last 10 years, Liverpool scored 3+ against Chelsea only 2 times in 29 games - a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge in 2015 and a 5-3 win at Anfield in 2020.
The last 5 games before these were draws, with 4 of them ending 0-0.

If I wasn't scrapping for relegation, I'd have picked 3+. Sometimes you just have to go with your gut.

Nice to see this was actually investigated
This was a trick question, Canada is the preferred answer.

I wanted to include the all-star because I wanted to let you know it's being played - it is in a really high-octane 3v3 format and is really fun to watch.

It was impossible to ask a good question because they draft the players and it wasn't known, so I kind of went this way - statistical advantage to those that investigate properly. 57% of participants chose Canada.

Round 1 - walkover vs Saint-loup.
Round 3 - walkover vs bullrun2020bro

That's 6, with additional 3 against Kanapka it will be 9 total. Same as Trofo if I counted correctly.

Yeah, I'm doing ok in most, La Liga and Serie A have been humiliating though.
Lowest prize pools anyway, so I won't be complaining.

Nice to get the yellow cap, a few of these pay the entry price anyway. Shame I usually go for 50x odds on these and never win anything

Nope, it will count as a 'No'.

Regarding the spreadsheet - sometimes when you click 'Submit' it doesn't actually submit - it asks you whether you're sure you want to submit with that exact account.
If you have multiple Gmail accounts - which we all probably do - then you just have to re-select and click 'Submit' again.

That's why we've opened up the spreadsheet, so you can doublecheck if your application was successful.

_________________________

It is a shame to lose Kanapka so late in the season, this will mean some changes in how Div2 table looks like.


Yep, seems like you and Trofo have been the luckiest with 9 points won from walkovers. This needs to be investigated.

Most of us will take a City player as a captain, yeah.
I went with Alvarez, I expect him to play close to 90 minutes even if Haaland gets his cameo appearance.

KDB almost certainly won't go full 90 minutes and unfortunately I don't have Foden who feels like the best pick for this game.

Yesterday was mediocre for me, it's important just to survive before I wildcard. The next few GW's will be extremely important.

E nemaš pojma koliko me ljudi žica da im to radim. Nemoj se ni šalit s tim, iako bi vjerojatno bila dobra lova.
Danas objašnjavam kolegici s posla self custody, ima dosta para u kriptu i ne može povući s Binancea na banku jer joj odbijaju transakcije. Kaže mi da bi mi dala 5% bez beda, samo da joj izvadim van.

Šta ću, pomogao sam joj za badave, al 90% ljudi koji ima kripto ne znaju 2% o tome i može im se uzeti brdo love bez greške.
