At least thanks to Tsimikas, the curly hairy flop finally gets one on the plate and he surely couldn't have miss that under any circumstance right ? I was already ruing my captaincy choice, and going with Salah was purely out of logic and not out of conviction, but it's still going to barely pay off, but then who's that with the Martinelli captaincy in the pool ? That's clairvoyant right ? because Martinelli that no would have believed would play 90 for both games combined is already on 46 points for him, that's not including the imminent bonus points, just wow!!! 

I will be rid of Nketiah in due time too, there are more tempting alternatives tp bring in for him and If Trossard is enough to be a big threat to his playing minutes, I wonder what the imminent return of Gabriel Jesus will then add to that situation, and I'd rather not wait to find out the hard.

Here comes Saka paying dividends for ruining my triple Everton defense setup and it going to be like that for a while for me.

Dream on mates! That's all we just literally are, dreamers! The discussion has been with the hope that Nunez does play, but now it's Cody Gakpo on the bench, lol. Ironically there is all the possibilities that players who stuck with Haaland as their captain for the gameweek and didn't go rogue to have 3 players from Liverpool might end up being better off than we the pathetic overthinkers, I mean take a look at the current team leading the pool for the week he didn't even touch his team and have 4 players that didn't play in his starting xi, but still have more than twice the points, I have so far.

First and foremost most people believe that, it is form promotion for Stake.com, and while I'd agree that doesn't mean Drake isn't losing personal money and it's just from and supposedly drive attention to the said event.

As far as $400,000 is also a huge amount, even in the first world countries, I think Drake his only having fun with these bets and he's been friends or fan with most of the individuals he has placed any sporting bet, so I doubt there is lessons to learnt, he's obviously betting only as much as he could afford to lose, and that's the fun part, meanwhile he's also had some decent winnings for himself, not all of his bet have always been a loss.

Memphis Grizzlies were sloppy during the first half so it wasn't really surprising that Lakers were to take a slight advantage, Grizzlies are in a much comfortable lead now with 9 points heading into the 4th Quarter, I didn't take the bet and I really wouldn't have considered it a worthy bet imo though.



You probably couldn't have won any bet more easily on the Lakers this season than this right ?, I mean you wouldn't have a much worries about the bet as  Beasley had his first steal before halfway into the first quarter, all left was Dennis Schroder and he didn't fail you, just a couple of minutes in the 3rd your bet had been won already, nice one mate, you've got em' on this one!

How many matches will NOT go the Full Distance: 8

If Darwin Nunez doesn't play tomorrow, it would amount to almost a triple lost for me, especially If I have to bring in Trippier back after their tough run of fixture or ahead off their double gameweek, because I had Olie watkins who eventually scored, but to get Nunez in I had to trade Trippier for the cheaper Coleman to bring Nunez in for watkins, and at least I would have gotten points from the player that rendered my Everton triple defense lineup pointless. Salah probably stays on for me, De Bruyne is seemingly injured, and Salah with no other form competition to play in than to save Liverpool season would be better choice to KDB imo.

The odd as expected were in favour of Barcelona, but not on the extreme, I think Almeria was offered about 6 odds or there about, so I'm not sure that would have been tempting enough to back the underdogs in this case, given they were on 3 game losing streak themselves as well.

I think Xavi is partially responsible for the loss, he totally undermined Almeria and it came back hunting him, he had players like Raphinha, Jules Kounde and co on the bench, and went with a formation that would dominate the entire ball possession rather than been terrific in attack and on the break, it worked out pretty well for him, Barcelona had at least 72% of the ball, but had just a single shot on goal, mission accomplished in the end right ?

I've submitted my predictions for the third round already, It's not an easy one still, but it's much less complicated than the previous round, there could be quite a lot of draw in this one since there is none of those H2H duel questions.

I'm facing the Jeremypwr this time around, when does the fixture even get easier, there seem to be no easy opponent in the first division, these guys know their sports  

I could careless with Sevilla losing for all they want, I don't have any money or emotions attached to the match, but I'm rather more upset with Barcelona losing the match against Almeria, and failing to extend the lead against Real Madrid to 10 points, now it's just a 7 point lead and Barcelona second consecutive loss in just a few days in all competition.

How now can the team head into the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid during the midweek with high spirit ? it's already bad enough that the team is plagued with one injury or the other, playing with a low morale or depleted team spirit is the last thing Barcelona can afford right now, or they could go as far as even losing this the league despite being in a commanding position.

Cryptofrka already helped out on your question regarding the freebets already so there is no need to repeat it here.

As for everyone waiting for the Tennis game to be over, the game just finished and it's with my pleasure to announce to you that Alcaraz lost the finals to world no. 13, Norrie 2-1... So if that's all left to decide your tie, then there you have it...

I'm pretty surprised to have done quite okay ishh for this round because, I literally just put in my picks without any form of research because I had to in a hurry as I expected to busy for the next day and most part of the week with the national elections holding in my country, amongst other troubles and commitments.  As it was obvious I was the first person to submit my predictions according to the answers spreadsheet.

Just looking forward to my next opponent  

I got about 8-9 correctly of the starting XI too, I knew Loftus-Cheek vs Kovacic was a coin toss imo, but Sterling and Ziyech, over Mason Mount and Mudryk isn't what I was expecting ngl.

Alcaraz should just lose this game and do the entire world some good

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are doing everything possible to make sure Barcelona win the league this season after all, lol. I really don't know if I would consider the season a success for Barcelona if they're only able to win the league, because it was embarrassing enough, to have been eliminated in the group stages of the UCL by Benfica, but we couldn't go further than the round of 32 in Europa League as well. Should the team win against Almeria today and go 10 points clear, that's surely a done deal for the league, since there is no other competition to prepare for, as I don't find Copa del Rey to be that significant imo, but maybe playing against Real Madrid could make still worth cheering for.

And the woes continues for the toothless lion, I mean Liverpool, they couldn't find the back of the net yet again, and this time it's against Crystal Palace who aren't so inform either, with Liverpool having some of their injured players back the least you'd expect of them today would have been a narrow victory, they were the better side not gonna lie, but if being the better side doesn't get you three points in the end, then of what use it ?

Chelsea vs Tottenham, I really need this win from Chelsea, it would mean a lot to me, but would I want to keep my hopes up ? hell no.

Firstly, I don't think Nketiah is overrated, he's presence is always felt by all their opponents, and he's work ethic is heavy and he's movement on and off the ball is superb too, he's just kid and he's definitely improving a lot, Arteta probably just wanted to give him a break today, I'm sure he'll be back in the line up for the midweek game.


Firmino isn't Klopp favorite's even when he was fit and and scoring well for them in the early games this season, he was still the third choice, that's why it never even crossed my mind to bring him in for one second.

That was fianlly after being able to come up with a somewhat no so wise decision to bring in Darwin Nunez into my squad and Trippier was the price I had to pay, Initially, I settled for Olie watkins who's been in a red hot but I'd prefer Nunez with two games to play over Olie, and Trippier for Coleman was my sacrifice that I had to make, now I'm having 3 Everton players at my backline, against Aston Villa and Arsenal, very crazy stuff as my backline looks very week, but I think I can live with that for this week simply because I've not been getting much points from my defenses to begin with.

Nunez might be more of just a caution, but if he's indeed out for both games, no one is coming to rescue me because none of my bench players is having a fixture.

They have been more illogical come backs in especially is last over the last decade, that one would never have imagined could happen until it, Barcelona vs PSG, Barcelona vs Roma, Barcelona vs Liverpool, and also every of the comebacks Real Madrid made last season weren't more logical to happen than Liverpool being winning able to win by 3 goals at Madrid in the 2nd leg, so if could have happened before, then it could happen all over again, one team just needs to better than the other right, and with away goal no longer in play makes it even easier to happen, than when any the previous mentioned comebacks happened.

I don't believe Ancelotti will naive enough to think the tie is already over, it's high improbable, Yes! but impossible, Damn No!



Fulham did play well today, perhaps not well enough to have gotten all 3 points as I have them to, but they did create some quality chances that could have won them the match, and most of their struggles have come since Mitrovic has stopped scoring, and he's currently out injured which clearly isn't helping their situation.

Giannis is definitely out for the Bucks tonight, as per nbcsportsedge.com, but Milwaukee Bucks still aren't not going to be an easy game for the Miami Heat, Khris Middleton would be available and a couple of players like Bobby Portis is also reportedly back into the squad, while Jay Crowder could also make his debut today so the players could also have an important role to play.

I like the Brooklyn Nets ML at Chicago Bulls over that of Miami Heat facing the Bucks.

The Warriors to get an easy win is just another bet I'll be tailing..

GL guys!

It is worth it, because if you sell a player this game week for another, and you can't bring in the same player the following game week because there is already a difference of 0.6m within that week because you sold and need to get him back, if you really want to understand what we mean, whenever you're using your wild card, just transfer out all your current player and save the changes, then try to bring back all the exact players back again after you've saved the changes and see if your budget would be enough to have them back.

It's exhausting, but it's all part of the game and itis very significant because, it will be terrible to see and highly inform player but can afford, those pro FPL players that have been paying attention to the prizes since the beginning will be able afford 4-5 premium right now without stressing too much, and when could be the best time to get all the best players possible, who wouldn't want to have De Bruyne, Saka, Salah, Rashford, and Kane, Haaland, Darwin upfront all together in the squad at once, more so without sacrificing the likes of Tripper, Shaw and Trent at the back line.


For example below is the most expensive squad in FPL right now, Imagine what players like Morvilz7z, Trofo or Icopress would do with that kind of budget at their disposal, especially if they already have the likes of the must have Haaland, Rashford and what have you, They'll practically be unstoppable in this double game weeks, wouldn't you agree?

That's because Salah, was barely/never high in demand, and you most likely would have even lost some budget for having him all through this while, but it's not going to be a very important factor to consider for anyone that barely have a player for more than 3 game weeks, they'd hardly ever be caught in between those heavy fluctuations.

I'm still caught up with the sacrifice needed from me to be able to afford Darwin Nunez, but would he be worth that risk at the end of the day ?
