Just catched correct score 1-1 between Southempton and Brighton. 90 points in this week so far.

Yeah, I got that one as well (as did Lawro). Really annoying when I get a correct score and think I'll be moving up a place or two but in fact I stay the same cos the people above me also got it haha.

Only 10 points between us three now for fourth fifth and sixth places:

4      CarlesPuyol   90   880
5      LFC_Bitcoin   130   870
6      hilarious   100   860



What's everyone got for tonight's game? I've got 1-1 again.

[tokeweed]

I... 

But I expect Sean Dyche and co. to have the edge.  They're at home and I guess the 'physicality' of Burnley's squad could get them a clean sheet.  And Newcastle's quality isn't exactly like City.

Yeah, every time I think I outwitted everyone, they all come along with the same correct score prediction. I've stopped trying to predict unexpected outcomes since Week 9, except for Liverpool and my stubborn 3-0 permapicks. I've got tonight down at 2-1 for Newcastle.

They're both closely matched at mid-table, but I still see Benitez as a good tactician who'll figure out a way to unlock Burnley, and have hopes for him to make manager of the month yet. His team will need to make examples of those around them now, and I predict they'll see Burnley as a prime example. Jonjo Shelvey is back, and hopefully a lot more mature that he'll run the engine room. Both will play Championship style brutishness, so plenty of cards and three goals to make me a happy camper?

Turns out I actually had 1-0 down so now I've crawled up into fourth place with that win:

It's still pretty close at the top and even down to mid table really. A couple of good wins could take someone top of the table.

[tokeweed]

Hilariousandco, I have some good news.  Here4Trades has replied and he's still on with the bet.  Just to be clear it's me Aguero, you Kane and Here4Trades Lukaku.

Please post the escrow address and let's get this bet on!

Gj on landing at 160 points buwaytress. You can definitely break into top 5 in the next few weeks.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

130 points for the weekend & I’m still in 6th, god damn this is competitive. Congrats on going top ajaxmoor.
I’m literally just going to do my predictions for next weekend now.

[cicciobtc]

Top 10 after 10 matches:

1   Ajaxmoor            980 (average 98)
2   StephenCurry      970 (average 97)
3   Cicciobtc             930 (average 93)
4   Hilarious             900 (average 90)
5   CarlesPuyol        880 (average 88)
6   LFC_Bitcoin         870 (average 87)
7   Buwaytress         800 (average 80)
8   Supremo1           790 (average 79)
9   G-spot                 740 (average 74)
9   Marlboroza          740 (average 74)


the standig is really very short, the top 6 places are enclosed in only 110 points.
with a great score (like the 160 points of buwaytress and gspot this week) each can easily climb the standing

Fixtures for this week:

Stoke v Leicester
Huddersfield v WBA
Newcastle v Bournemouth
Southampton v Burnley
Swansea v Brighton
West Ham v Liverpool
Spurs v Crystal Palace
Man city v Arsenal
Chelsea v Man Utd
Everton v Watford

A load of shitty unpredictable games this week in my opinion. I could see a load of nil nil draws or at best very low scoring games. The only matches worth watching are the sunday games to be honest.

yes, this week there are so many balanced matches, only Tottenham seems to be favored for an easy win.
This week there will be players who will score very low or very high, and I think there will be revolutions in the standing.

[BitcoinSupremo]

I just placed my predictions, games are not that difficult this round to predict for a correct result, but for correct scores, this remains always a bingo and in the end only the most lucky person will go to the top (by lucky I mean the one with most correct scores overall during all 36 or 38 weeks of the Premier League).

[buwaytress]

Week 11's first game kicks off in about three hours, guys, so don't forget to enter your prediction. I see two games that could potentially swing the scores around to the savvy predictor, but we have to wait til tomorrow for them:

1. Chelsea/Man Utd - I'm going for a slim Chelsea win here. I have a feeling Mourinho and co will do exactly as expected and defend in packs away from home. But there's enough blue quality for a goal.
2. Man City/Arsenal - I'm going to go for an underdog win here. Arsenal no longer inspire fear but they'll be desperate to win this and there's bound to be a blip for the Sky Blues, maybe it happens tomorrow!

I think Southampton vs Burnley is decent.  I got a little money riding on Burnley +.5 at 2.38.  I think it's a good deal imo.  The match has a greater chance to end in a draw than Southampton winning by a goal.

I hope not. I have them down at 1-0 and have them backed in the Sky Sports Soccer Saturday Price Boost. I got ten points from the Stoke game but so did Stephen Curry and cicciobtc  . I think there's gonna be a lot of draws today or low scoring games with only a goal in them. Could be wrong though. The Man city v Arsenal and Chelsea v Man Utd games are the only ones I'm looking forward to watching. Can't deicide whether to go for 3 or 4-0 on the Spurs game. Could play it safe with 3-0 but they trashed Real Madrid 3-1 this week.

[tokeweed]

^ If you follow Lawro's predictions, which is decent, and I'd be in the top three of our pool if I just went straight out following him, you'd notice that they're mostly conservative.  So I guess with the Spurs game, it would likely end up more at 3 - 0 than at 4 - 0 imho.

[hilariousandco]

I only got ten points this week. What a load of shit games. Did anyone else do much better? Group table hasn't updated yet but it has in your predictions tab.

[ajaxmoor]

Just one correct prediction here. Yeah, all games a disappointment. Glad to have got my Unders correct on my other bets.

[BitcoinSupremo]

Perfect week so far for me ,3 correct scores out of 3. Liverpool will be a disappointment in correct score but I hope they at least make a win to win it as a correct result. The beauty of Premier league is that this league is totally unpredictable I had 3 games ,Swansea correct result, Burnley correct result and Huddersfield correct result.

Awesome, you get a hattrick in one day. Cheers! I only get one correct score from Huddersfield and get 10 points from Liverpool. I'm targeting to be in the top ten this week.

30 points here for 3 correct outcomes. I had Liverpool down at 3-0 as usual so at 2-1 I already lost 30 points. I got the first game at 1-1 so thought 10 points was a good start. I even had three 1-0 predictions, all home victories for Newcastle, Southampton and Swansea. As it turned out, they all ended up as 0-1 losses. Funny yeah?

Also going for slim wins for the underdogs today, but well done to Supremo for hitting 100+points, see how things swing around so quickly?
