Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

[cryptofrka]

Heard Mbuemo is demanding 250k/week - he's not getting anything close to that amount at anywhere else except Liverpool and United. Make more sense now..

You fixed this by.. not having any good players and having shitty results.
Let's see how much Palmer's new contract is going to be.

Challenge for something, then let's discuss salaries. Most of those are performance-based, meaning if you're Chelsea, you end up not paying anything other than basic wages.

Yes Liverpool! None of the clubs you mentioned have ever broken the league transfer record for a Goalkeeper, defender or striker- now your team are about to smash the record for a midfielder, but you are not ruining the transfer market because Saudi clubs are coming to balance the books for you.

Have you asked why Real Madrid withdrew from Wirtz deal and why you're the only club in the race? The asking price is ridiculous for every reasonable club except Liverpool..

Where do you get your data? Pornhub?

10 PL biggest incoming transfers:

1. Enzo - Chelsea
2. Grealish - City
3. Rice - Arsenal
4. Caicedo - Chelsea
5. Lukaku - Chelsea
6. Pogba - United
7. Antony - United
8. Gvardiol - City
9. Maguire - United
10. Nunez - Liverpool

Record for a striker - Chelsea
Record for a winger - City
Record for a midfielder - Chelsea
Record for a defender - City
Record for a goalkeeper - Chelsea

It's normal that you don't remember Kepa or Lukaku - but you signed both of them. Saudi money saving Liverpool books? We're discussing current data, if we trick them into buying Diaz and Nunez, well, great - but so far Saudi teams bought only Fabinho, for 2/3rds of the amount that you sold Oscar to China a while ago.

I know you have some weird opinions about transfers in general, but using some actual data might be occasionally beneficial.

Liverpool fans talking about competing for something? To justify paying Saudi-level wages? Man your club were literally a mid table team for ages and you don't come close to Chelsea in trophies for the last decade. Sit this one out.

I know you have some weird opinions about transfers in general, but using some actual data might be occasionally beneficial.

I liked how you pretended you hadn't broken an all-time record for a Goalkeeper and defender in the same season before Chelsea signed Kepa a few weeks later.  Liverpool opened the wormhole for the rest of the clubs; you barely buy, but when you do, you raise the market standard for others.

Also Liked it how you guys inflates Chelsea player's market prices from the actual amount. Lol

Again with the nonsense.
In the last decade (if we count 2015) we are the same in league titles, CL titles, WC titles and FA cup titles. We have 1 more LC, you have more second-tier European cups.
If we don't count 2015 - which we should not because that was 11 seasons ago - you have 1 league less and 1 cup less.

In the last 10 seasons Liverpool has won 237 and lost 53 league games, Chelsea won 193 and lost 98. Argue with those that are either born yesterday or don't follow football.
Transfer values are from Transfermarkt, but I'm sure you know better.

Wanted you to type that with your hands - now do you feel embarrassed with your last statement? sneaked in 3 Community Shields into the equations like we wouldn't notice.. Sit this one out Mafia. 

Twerking with 2 league titles in more than 30 years is crazy. Keep ruining football.

Waiting for Manchester city to win the cases again corrupt FA so we can all turn the league into Pro- China standards.

[notblox1]

Are there any interesting news for next season of Premier League you can share?
I heard this is going to be the first season Everton play at their new stadium, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and old Goodison Park is going to history.

Where do you get your data?

You should never ask ex-Sheriff this question, and you should know he has special channels of communications with secret services

Oh didn't know about my retirement

cryptofrka did you see the latest PSR healthiest club ranking? Your favourite Saint Liverpool didn't even make the top 10 and barely escaped being fined.

Chelsea and Manchester city are saving this league yet we're the most talked about (negatively) . I feel sorry for Aston Villa and Newcastle United; they're likely going to lose Watkins and Isak this summer to balance their books.

[un_rank]

Yes- bit just making it clear that more than 70% of our total investments are playing outside the first team; the new owners are running a poultry farm- buy, loan and sell for profits.

So basically your team is doing poor business? This is no justification for the money your club has spent in the last years

Heard Mbuemo is demanding 250k/week -

You mentioned it earlier like the deal was done, so I assumed it was. Just checked and they very recently just submitted a bid and began negotiations.

- Jay -

No, the players bought ( loan & at the club) are already up in price not mentioning the amount made from loan fees- One major trophy in less than 3 years from a complete rebuild is not bad if you ask me.

Note: most of the players bought were for Strasbourg and they're already a top 5 team in the league.

Never said it was ? United are locked in and no other club are talking to Brentford.

Yup, really proud of you, fellas.

The Blues capitalised on a loophole within PSR rulings by selling assets, including their women's team and two hotels, to their sister company BlueCo.
These transactions, conducted at fair market value rather than an inflated sale, enabled Chelsea to record significant profits and comply with PSR rules.

If you were half as good at playing football as you are in exploiting loopholes, you'd occasionally win a trophy in which opponents are not Servette, Gent, Panathinaikos, Noah, Heidenheim, Astana, Shamrock, Copenhagen, Legia, Djurgardens and Betis.

You lots should set your priorities right. League titles before Offside and handball rules doesn't count.

Liverpool 2 EPL titles
Chelsea 5 EPL titles

Liverpool 13 European trophies
Chelsea 8 European trophies

You've got nothing on the biggest club in London 

[buwaytress]

How did I miss this extravaganza with Chelski Sheriff?! Look, yeah we've paid overboard for this guy but for me, and I've had this argument before so not looking to wade into another but this is actually the first time we're buying a player that's already a rising star (I love Nunez but even he doesn't count). Suarez and Torres, they were very decent, even more decent than Salah when we bought him, but we flicked on their star status.

I actually am glad we pulled the trigger. So sick of tracking a guy for years and then losing him to Real/Chelsea/City. I know he's going to have a lot on his hands to overturn the Bundesliga flop status of Prem League incomings (which I think isn't true when you look at KdB, Auba, Gundogan, Sane, Firmino) but I can't help feeling Pulisic, Havertz, Werner, whom we lost to Chelsea, would have done way better at Liverpool. We turned similarly "weak-framed" players like Firmino, Matip, Can into absolute beasts... ok, I'll pretend we didn't have Keita heh heh.

Igehbotz, you need to take your vocals to Stamford Bridge and wake them up. I went twice in the last few years and I thought I was at The Library. Didn't want to believe it, but it's true.

You barely get anyone who wants to play for you club - you're the KING of the league but most of those trophies were won before the Internet - big foots, dinosaurs and slave trades era 

I also understand that money is the only way to get them to play for you, as well as offering Saudi-style wages while in Europe, but Liverpool and Manchester United should understand that they are nowhere near the money Chelsea and City have - we're saving the league by getting players who want to play for us, whereas Liverpool and Manchester United are throwing money at players and inflating the market.

Pulisic was not a flop, he had his moment, won us important games but he was quite unlucky and spent most of his days at the hospital- we were scammed for both Timo and Kai.

Stanford Bridge has been that way since the new owners took over; I would have alot of issues with the fans if I go over there.

Put money on the table - Palmer is going to outperform your new Lamborghini ( Wirtz) in the league.

[buwaytress]

Awww Igeh, don't worry folk like me never count the trophies we didn't see being won, all the sweeter. I'm so glad Chelski is saving the league by getting loads of players who want to play for them, and then sit them on the bench. Judging from their smiles, they must actually be players who want to sit on Chelsea bench for the best view in town.

Timo and Kai scammed you, but I think if they played for us, we'd have whipped them into shape. I actually still like Enzo, please turn him into his normal self... hope Caicedo and Lavia (who we also wanted but they apparently want to play for you) don't end up scamming you, at least the former guy seems to have started to remember to show up.

Money on the table yes! Not like Sandra_hakeem and Atbitco who talk a lot and disappear when it's time to pay fees heh heh (sorry you two but it's not untrue, is it?). Let's do it then! How much? 1mbtc? Fantasy points? Or simple goal contributions (G/A)? We'll get our trusted CLS63 to start a new sidebet sheet...

You could be onto something here. As far as I know Chelsea has one of the most expensive tickets in PL. So if you want to watch City play away at Chelsea what better way then from Chelsea bench? You are right next to the pitch and even getting paid. What is best I hear they are giving 7-9 year deals so you are basically set for life

Only all Liverpool fans were like you - at least you admitted you've only seen your club lift the league title twice and some community Shields.

Happy to sit on the bench? Yes when you're big, it comes with such a privilege. Ask Real Madrid.

Timo and Kai scammed you, but I think if they played for us, we'd have whipped them into shape. I actually still like Enzo, please turn him into his normal self... hope Caicedo and Lavia (who we also wanted but they apparently want to play for you) don't end up scamming you, at least the former guy seems to have started to remember to show up.

Timo gave us Europa league, Kai gave us the CL - we got scammed but we forced something out of them. Caicedo is arguably the best DM in the league and Enzo? He's already up x3 in value. Trust me.

Let's do it then! How much? 1mbtc? Fantasy points? Or simple goal contributions (G/A)? We'll get our trusted CLS63 to start a new sidebet sheet...

Okay, 1mBTC - Premier League G/A only. Palmer vs Wirzt.

Not when they get home 40-50k/weekly - same amount Wirzt get paid daily at Liverpool.

Best view in town indeed, and you don't have to fight to keep season tickets. Just run out your contract, then get complimentary VIP seats. Not like Stamford Bridge is full anyway.

I read United season ticket holders, some of them decades old, were forced to sell their seats for exec seats. Fucking Glazers.

To be fair, if Liverpool were doing well when I knew them, I'd probably pick someone else. Spurs? Hahaha. By the time I knew about English football, most people in my group were United or Real or Juve. Liverpool were right shit so very happy to be enjoying the fruits now after decades in the wilderness. Community Shields? We smacked a few teams well and good en route to finishing 7th in league while lifting Champions League -- still billed the best final ever =D

Done deal. I'm still keeping Palmer in my FPL for now (but it was painful watching him play).

P.S. cryptofrka, LFC_Bitcoin, Trent quiet so far tonight?

P.S. cryptofrka, LFC_Bitcoin, Trent quiet so far tonight?

I won't be judging anything throughout this tournament. We all know he's a unique type of player - with his flaws as well.

I think he'll be a net positive in the Madrid team - sometimes he'll get dribbled easily or forget to close his man on the 2nd post, but he'll give them a lot offensively.
He's the perfect man to play balls behind the lines for Mbappe and Vinicius.

[buwaytress]

Damn, I never really felt much for Quansah and he didn't really to me play well for the U21s but I thought he was for the future. Off to Bayer now? I knew they wanted a player trade for Wirtz so maybe this was the deal all along. Would actually be their club record if they get him. Have a feeling a couple more exits. Even heard Robbo to Atleti.

Wasn't my intent to say anything bad, I like him, and still do. Spraying crosses across the entire field to Vini from his side, I think his teammates were quietly impressed. Just quiet, I thought he'd go offensive a bit more, wanted to see him score on debut actually. More cautious this time, Alonso probably just wanted solid more than anythiing else on the first go.

Salzburg topping that group, though, and that was such a young team with so many debuts, actually impressive.

[igebotz]

Admitting that he was shit defensively against some random farmers isn't gout to take anything from you. This is like preseason so every performance counts in my book. 

Alonso probably just wanted solid more than anythiing else on the first go.

Anyone found Alonso game plan boring or it just me? Maybe too early to start judging the project.

[Hhampuz]

Definitely not what I expected, different game plan from what he's know for, for sure.
