[Harkorede]

Started well, Harkorede seems like the most likely freebet winner though.

Liverpool need to score atleast 2 goals for him to win. if its only 1 goal tonight then its going into tiebreak but with only 16 as his tiebreaker then he is definitely not winning it against couple of other 18s with better tiebreaker amount

Hopefully, Salah will be up to the task, I literally read the tiebreaker questions wrongly, After first glance, I thought it was meant first for the 6 picked teams combined, I don’t know what I was thinking… I guess that’s just what I was used when it comes to filling that kind of form and since I didn’t play last season I had to learn on the go.

Guys we have our first Winner of the season and he is a newbie, congratulations to Harkorede for his win. Freebets for $50 goes for you.

As i said before please re-check since this season im using a formula which auto sum the points scored, so if you detect a mistake let me know.

What a round 54 GOALS!

I guess first timers’ luck is a thing after all…

There’s a new baller in town, you all watch how you row!

Something is wrong with the team selection... instead of choosing Chelsea and Liverpool, who scored many goals, Man City and Atalanta were chosen, who only scored 1 goal.
Ahh, Man City is indeed unreliable in this round.

[cryptofrka]

A big round for the favorites

I'll take this, a good start and once again proof that the risk isn't really warranted at this point in time.
First few rounds are 'safety', there will be plenty of opportunities for Atalantas and Napolis later on.

Welcome, waste your freebet and then disappear to midtable irrelevance.

I thought I was making safe bets, but Leverkusen and Atletico screwed up. These two shit teams never deserve to be chosen. And the shit is because of the coaches, I like the teams themselves (except Atletico haha).
However, I am behind 10 participants at once, the probability of making risk-free bets and winning is small... I will have to take risks - this is a death spiral  But last season I won 5 or 6 free bets thanks to the risk. I think it's time to focus on them again.

A complete disaster, i was also expecting an Atletico Madrid big recovery in his home game against a super weak Elche but that doesnt happen at all. Leverkusen the same a complete failure.

For me is still plenty of time to recover.

Hey daryiaomi - one favor please.

It happens to me almost every time that I open the form, close Bitcointalk and then realize that I don't know the dates in which the round takes place.
You write it in the thread but not in the form as well, if you could add it there too it would help me and probably some others too.

100% submitted in 5 seconds this time lol I didn't even want to look at the fixtures I just trusted the same good teams to be as good but no Chelsea I doubt they can score 5 goals two games in a row!

Arsenal or Liverpool will play 0-0 so I didn't even bother looking at them but I have a feeling we see some 0 goal surprise from one of the big ones this week too

I checked the fixture for the upcoming week a little bit — not too much to look at, so you really didn’t miss anything. Yes, I also think we’ll see many teams with 0–1 goals in their tally. As for Liverpool and Arsenal, that match might finish 1–1 or, in the best-case scenario, 2–1 for Arsenal. But it’s good to see last season’s 1st and 2nd place teams face off at the start of the season. I completely avoided the EPL teams this round, base focus on La Liga teams.

Well is pretty easy to guess since we play 95% in the weekends, but since is pretty easy to do for me what you are suggesting for the next round im gonna add it on the form.

When the teams plays against each other is super difficult to guess, i mean you can have a super game with ton of goals or a super defensive one.

I remember last year we have one who was crazy i think it was a Real Madrid Barcelona who ended like 4-3 or 4-4 for example.

Received, delivered in time to avoid rushed selections... we already have a record of 20 goals to beat, by the way, I don't think it exists, but do we have a special prize for the best day of goals in a week?   

[arallmuus]

Well actually their last 5 h2h are full of goals though. Its gonna be an interesting strategy to even pick both of them. I used to do the same last season with El Clasico, picked both Real Madrid and Barcelona for 4 and 3 goals 

I remember last year we have one who was crazy i think it was a Real Madrid Barcelona who ended like 4-3 or 4-4 for example.

Yep and I picked them both. I won that round although it was only with 15 goals in total  Both myself and FM were the one that had Barcelona and Real Madrid together

Hi Guys new round is up!

Im still i fault because i didnt submit my picks for this round yet, but im gonna tag just in case someone missed it the people in my same condition.

So you mean for the best round right? Or higher scoring round.

It can be a good one, since i dont finish to polish the prizes i think i can make some of that so even the people who fall behind have something to fight for.

Yeah, I agree it's minor and if it was not such an easy thing to do for you, I would not ask it at all.

I filled it incorrectly once, and it was actually lucky for me - I looked at the wrong week but the teams I picked outscored the ones I would have picked

[slaman29]

Is there a penalty if anybody misses? Just asking

Ya I have a feeling 0-0 is coming a lot, I doubt Liverpool get involved in another 5 goal game but you never know. Its Arsenal and they played 2-2 quite a lot, but 2 goals is not winning you anything in Cross League anyway

I think we can also see Serie A teams maybe smash some records?

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Is there a penalty if anybody misses? Just asking

For failing in the submission? Yes, as i wrote before and is in the OP.


- "When you miss a deadline you are gonna play with only 4 teams. This 4 teams comes from the  teams from your last round minus one which is gonna be the one who score the most goals in the missed round. If a reshufle happens and one of the teams is not longer in the game, that team is gonna be replace with the new team, if more than one team change in that specific round im gonna take the one who scores more as replacement(it has to be from the same league)."


So for example if you fail to submit before the deadline you are gonna receive:

"Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona", but one is gonna take out, which is gonna be the one who score the most in the missed round.

Last year it was much more heavier the punishment, it was a 0 points in the round.

The influence of the BSFL is evident... 

Although it is a synonym, here it is called: punishment o "torta en la cara"

@darbitmobilerecovery Yes, something like that, although the FBs are already a gain in themselves to compete until the end, it wouldn't be bad at all to add that to the best round of the year, season.

Understood, I saw that but it felt like not so much a punishment as you still get a 'automatic submission' but this is very fair, more than fair Thanks bro

Interesting google it got me there lol sometimes, in my culture, especially if you play games together, the punishment is in a way that everyone gets to 'punish' the one, but it is in a assurance that everybody will get their turn to be punished. Which is not always the case in our pools I believe some people still have 100% track record of submitting lol
