Looks like a bet that will pay off eventually, Real Madrid have taken the lead yet again, and we are heading into the final minutes of the game now, but it's going to be an intensive final minutes.

Every single game today have its twists and turns absolutely today, Man Utd, Bayern Munich and Arsenal, every single game have been intensive and often unpredictable as well.

That's quite a number of us, I didn't expect more than 5 players maximum, but with the names I've seen, I'm actually not surprised at all, because I know they are regular pool participants.

May the luckiest "Snow" wins 

We probably might have the same game at heart, I also have a game I'm eyeing big time, It's not 10x Odds if that's what you're implying, but it's an underdog with tempting, I can't remember how many chip I have on that though because I submitted my pick long ago already, but it's a quite some odds and quite some chip as well, 3  maybe 4, I guess, one thing I'm sure about is that my chip are just on 2-3 games, that's if I didn't use 4 chip on the apparent upset.

You probably should set an alarm and add the title of the thread for the reminder, it's very tough to keep up with all these pools without needing a reminder for a couple of them, it's easier to get reminded when there is a mobile app of the pool on your mobile device, but very easy to forget the pools that have to do filling google forms with answers and predictions.

There is absolutely no chance of Barcelona signing Jadon Sancho, because the team has literally more than enough options to rotate in that position, they could afford Ansu Fati a regular playing time and had to loan him off to Brighton, just so he could get more playing time and there are players like Feran Torres and Raphinha sharing minutes, with Joao Felix being a more secured starter on the left flank. Jadon Sancho would have a lesser playing time than he would at Man United. Moreover, Barcelona doesn't have the financial capacity to sign every available on the market, I'm sure the club's priority for the season would be to make the move of Joao Cancelo and Felix permanent deals because both players are currently only on loan with Barcelona.

I'm in!

I already entered my answers and saved it as draft, I'm still looking to figure out a couple of answers that appeared tricky to me, there is surely going to be a winner in this one, because the options have no safety measures at all, it's literally going to be down to just pure luck and nothing else in my opinion.

We now another infamous Dr. Ben Carson (notblox1) that has successfully separated the only conjoined and inseparable Cro2 twins, he didn't even need a surgery to get that done.

Trofo would surely have Igebotz to contend with for the entire season, Cryptofrka welcome to the big boys club, I hope you've learnt the rules and regulations ? you have to pay homage to your elders in the league or your stay might be short-lived 

Cryptofrka would be glued to the TV right now on Juventus vs Atalanta, he's whole season is hanging in on that, Juventus need not to score two goals, and it's currently all looking good for him with less than 15 minutes plus stoppage time to go, but regarding the cup, it sure would hold this week, there are no free weeks.

@Buwaytress how about another friendly for the cup's final week ?

I used my Wild Card a week ago, and it's my biggest regret because I feel like I need at least 5 transfers right now, and for the fact that I would have had a better point from my prior squad compared to after using my wildcard made it rather more painful, but the game is the game, you really never just can tell, it's a make hays while the sun shines situation, Mbeumo time on most team is coming to an end as we gradually approach the return of Ivan Toney.

The craziest things all the players that were considered a doubt for this game week so far have all played and some have made significant impact, Saka specifically, it's been 71 minutes played for him so far and Arteta is still not thinking of replacing him, despite a 3 goals advantage, then maybe the game vs Lens is where the rest will apparently come from ?

It's a cold day in the office for Erling Haaland so far, he's had just a shot all game till now, are there any player or persons from the pool with a different captaincy choice other than Haaland ?

Adding salt to your injury of losing the league title with the final shot of the season is something I relish to be quite honest, but I can tell you that my players and team camp in massively high spirit, and only stating how much of a fluke it was with them losing to your team twice in the course of the season, so they came into this fixture with a the exertion of a must win, because third time isn't going to be considered a mistake or just a mere coincidence. 

Playing Saka is not worth the risk, and I'm very sure Arteta would be very aware of that, Arsenal have a tough trip in the UCL on Tuesday away to Lens, after which they will host Man City next weekend, If there is any fixture that Arteta should get Saka a bit of rest to not aggravate his injury, I think we'll agree that's against Bournemouth, he might travel with squad, but he might not get more than some minutes imo, except of cause he's very fit, however, fit or not, Saka would still need a some rest, so maybe he could be on for just a 45 minutes at the max.

This would be my earliest win of all time in this pool, That's If it is not a record of all-time fastest win in BSFL history, I mean when both parties have submitted in a timely fashion, have there been anyone to win a match up after the 5 games have been graded and 5 games yet to be ? If not, this should go down into the history book.

--------------------------------------------

@Cro2 team, It would not hurt to have a couple of the competition's record breaking feet right ? I mean details largest win, most consecutive number game won, longest unbeaten run, and just one more for the wooden spoon equivalent, for longest run without a win 

Would it not be better to go for a forward or a midfielder in this case If you have a bench player to spare? I mean except for a case of injury there are players in the midfield or forward that would like play both 90 minutes. That's a minimum of 4 points, without other things like clean sheet (for midfield) and assist considered.

If not Trofo, who else would you expect, he's a BTTS merchant and addict, I don't know what the odds for Dortmund BTTS because that's most likely the only thing that can deter him from going for it!

I have Dortmund to win in the pool exactly by 2 goals to 1, a score I changed from 2-0 just few minutes before the kickoff, so I can only hope it would stay this way until the final whistle.

EDIT: I jinxed it, Dortmund ended the game 3-1, meaning my initial prediction would have paid off 

I did, but I chose not to be aggressive on their DGW because, neither team looks very rewarding and Burnley playing against Newcastle first also leave an impression of a not so worthy game week to be taking points hit, WC or even using your both transfers if you have two.

I saw this coming and If were asked to pick the player that would get eliminated first, I sure as well would have picked Swiatek, I knew it would take quite a wile before she gets back to her best form and losing the No.1 position came at wrong time for her, and I’m sure if she had won the US Open, she like would have sit this tournament out, perhaps for the next WTA 1000 at the very least, but heavy is the head that wears the crown.

I also have a couple 3-4 Odds, I'm quite thinking of going all in on, but I really just feel the need to add a bit of insurance, especially due to the fact that a lot of these teams are would be playing away from home.

Meanwhile, most of the favorites, while looking good to back on paper, it's not as easy as it look. If Only Man City had no injury troubles, I would have no problem going all in @ 1.65, but the team doesn't seem to be in their best rhythm, Feyernood and PSG away from home against Atletico Madrid @ 5.2 and Newcastle @ 2.72 respectively are the most tempting ones for me.

I might eventually just go with PSG, for the risk-reward ratio, imo.

Isak couldn’t finish the game against Man City in the Carabao Cup, he was substituted off the game after just an hour into the game, If Isak were to be fit, I think he’d playing this weekend because the UCL game vs PSG would be played in England, so there is no point having him sit that one out, especially because he’s not being very sharp and would need more minutes to find his best form again, however, he likely could have a limited playing time, though.


On Maddison, I think he’ll not be available for the weekend but I wouldn’t do Maddison for Son, If I had him, it doesn’t look like a worthy risk reason being Tottenham would be playing against Liverpool, and without Maddison, I don’t think Son will be very efficient, I’d rather keep the transfer for next game week, or go for fixture with better alternatives like Arsenal playing Bournemouth, West Ham facing Sheffield United and Man United hosting Crystal Palace, these are fixtures that would have better alternatives for Maddison rather than Son, imo.

You know fashow I'm down when it comes these kind of competitions, and I don't think Buwaytress is the kind to back out either, maybe we could honor you with one big feet washing or last supper could be needed before you finally depart for your division 2 adventure.

I'm down for it!
