Damn Tottenham couldn't they just win 0-3 and I would have start the week like it should. That goal in the ninety minute was like a knife to my heart literally speaking. I am afraid all my week will end badly.

Well Spurs already killed me at 3-0 since I predicted 2 goals to nil. I also better stop predicting 1-1 draws for Manchester Utd as they seem to hit me with massive wins.

So far only 40 points this week from 3 wins and 1 draw outcome. Hopefully Chelski give me the 2-1 win I put in amd Liverpool make good on 3-0. Last week also gave me 40 points on last games. League tables not updated so can't see how far down I slid haha.

I fell asleep and didn't have the time to predict the spurs game, damn that's an easy 10 points. The late goal from watford and lukaku crushed my prediction. This is going to be another week with low points. 

[Wendigo]

The injury time in the Premier League is simply brutal goal-wise. I got shafted on the West Brom - Watford game for a correct result Oh well next time it is!

[BitcoinSupremo]

60 points for me so far, damn those stoppage times, I had West ham vs Swansea nil to nil and West ham go and scored in 91 minute to ruin my perfectly predicted no goal equalizer. Anyway this week is not good so I must be ready for next one.

I'm moving on up!  I'm gonna be in the top 10, hopefully in two or three rounds.  Maybe even this afternoon after the games!  Yay! 

And Here4Trades, looks like you'll win our side bet.  As you already know Aguero is injured because of some stupid accident, with him run over by a taxi cab in Amsterdam?  Wat?  Anyway here's an update of the top goal scorers in the EPL.

Lukaku - 7  <--- Here4Trades' bet.
Aguero - 6  <--- My bet.
Kane - 6
Morata - 6
Jesus - 5
Sterling - 5
Vardy - 5

Down into 4th place for me yesterday, a poor result of 60 points. Hopefully I do much better today, there are 3 games to try & get a correct score or two to try & move up again

It's still very close up at the top though.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Got another correct score from Arsenal, 100 points so far, not a bad week as I predicted, I missed Tottenham and West Ham late 90's correct scores as I think I would be fighting for the top this week, still I am excited and I can't wait for next week. The two remaining games of this week I don't think I will get anything from them but let's see.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I predicted Arsenal 3-0 Brighton. I watched the game, bastards couldn't get the extra goal to make it 40 points for me

[BitcoinSupremo]

And another correct result from Liverpool and missed correct result from Everton 1-1 but still finished the week with 140 points this time , another perfect week for me, 2 in a row in which I got 3 correct results. This time I got Man.U, Arsenal and Liverpool. Getting closer and closer to the top.

[buwaytress]

I miscalculated and have only 60 points this week, heh. Got to thank Arsenal for a second successive 2-0 to shore up my terrible predictions. Liverpool's been my biggest headache all season, predicting with my emotions. But who knows, maybe they'll get in gear at Man Utd...

Well done to StephenCurry for extending his lead at top spot. But I think congratulations are in order for unyil. This was his first week and he's hit us for 160 points, the highest of anyone this week!

Down to 6th place with a weekly points total of 70 points, fucking terrible tbh. I need to do much better after the international break.

I had the same exact score too but for me that 70pts seems enough for me this week. The 5th round was the worst week for me only having 20pts because of the unexpected draws and missed a couple prediction due to the site having problem that week.

That's the only correct score I hit this week. If it weren't for arsenal I could've finish with 30pts. Huge thanks to them indeed.

Of course it is when the top 5 are within just 70 points difference. However the upcoming week will sure have lots of surprises and I hope to make at least 50-60 points in the upcoming week. It is not looking good based on the games that are to be played but we all will try. This competition is great so far.

Are you proposing another change?  I vote no. 

Anyway, I think this is gonna be my week to move up a notch or two once again!  And I hope to be in the top by December. 

Here4Trades, for our side bet, Aguero could be back again for an early shock return.  He's seen back at training.  It's on!

I did not see the final decision on the various awards, in doubt I will try to get first in the standings.
However the experiment of this pool is very positive, this competition is really interesting.
Good luck at all

[tokeweed]

I think the top three spots will get some of the prize money.  Although it would have been more fun if it was winner take all.  

Maybe next season we can also have side bets for highest goal scorer or something.
