Didn't realise I was first. Anyone can still win a spot on there though though it's probably a lot harder to do with these unpredictable games. Still something to play for though. I noticed tokeweed and a couple of others missed their picks last night. Can't be slipping out like that when you're at the top.

I guess me picking a win for Arsenal was asking too much of them  but 1.5 each from other matches wasn't a bad one, especially a win from watford...  Let's see how it all goes tomorrow.

It was close, but I can't trust Arsenal right now hence why I went for the draw and luckily Vardy came in late to get me the correct score. Vital goal for him as well as he's still going for the golden boot and Aubameyang got the first one who is right behind him on the top goalscorers table.

Well, good that I've bet the handicap (0) on Arsenal yesterday, it ended 1:1, and the red card was more than deserved

Today we have 4 matches going on, just made my pics

Manchester City is very convinced playing at home lately, Newcastle plays pretty well and efficiently after the break, I see a lot of goals here, and my pool pick is 3:0
Maybe I will play an Over 2.5 scored goals by City, not sure at the moment

After the restart of the season, Sheffield United haven't seen the net empty, they are receiving goals every match, Wolverhampton can score easily on away games
And in the first duel of this season, both teams scored a goal
My pool pick is 1:2, and a possible bet will be Both teams to score

West Ham has played two good matches in a row, Burnley plays a little bit weaker away games and they seems to be without the right motive as a team
My pool pick is 2:0 and I will bet on West Ham to win this match

Brighton is not playing well at home lately, Liverpool is simply great this season
The seven mutual duels belonged to Liverpool, I'm going with a 0:2 on the pool and will avoid this pair on the bookies

Yesterday I got 1 result and 1 close, not bad :-)
Today is a new chance to grab some more points

I think all the games will be close except for the City game. Should win 2 or 3 nil I reckon but they're coming off a shock loss to Southampton so it might not be the goalfest people are expecting. I wouldn't back Wolves away to Sheffield. I can see both teams scoring though. West Ham and Burnley anything could happen so I'll probably go for a draw. Liverpool should win but I'm thinking not by much, especially after the lucky win against Villa last week. 0-0 up until 70 minutes. If Liverpool had something to play for I'd be more confident that they could win by a few but I think this will be another close one but still a narrow win for them. Brighton need points though to make sure they stay well out of the relegation zone so that's the only thing that's making me think they might have something to play for here so them getting a point or even three wouldn't surprise me though I don't think they'll be getting the full three points.

I hope Liverpool can secure an away win tonight. Liverpool is not playing good football away from home lately but I have three bets parlay today and I was keen on including Liverpool in that because odds were too good to ignore. Now I have parlay including Man City win, Liverpool win and Barcelona win. Man City is completely unpredictable but if you have coach like Pep, you are expected to improve mistakes and don't lose two in a row. For Barcelona, I am sure they will take away an easy win at home. Barca vs Villarreal was awesome. If not for Villarreal goalie, Barca could have won by 7-1 at least. Players have finally started pulling correct strings.

Yeah, 5 rounds to go, and there is no chance for me to get any prize on this pool, but the fun of picking the results is still alive
Today we have 3 PL matches going on

Lol am with you on this one. Looking at the table you might think I should have stopped participating in the pool by now since my chances of winning anything this season are like that of Arsenal with the hope of defeating Man City and winning the FA Cup finals (that's me getting the highest point in a round lol). Anyway it's still fun trying my luck also putting some hopes of MJ7.

The Crystal palace, Chelsea game was my highlight of the night as securing the 3 points was just based on luck and nothing else, the defence weren't solid as all goals scored by crystal palace should have been easily avoided. Anyway, Kurt Zouma for president...

I also feel the same but dont forget that there is still a chance to win the consolation prizes, so for those who have no more chance to finish on top 5 by the end of the season still has the chance to beat those who are currently leading for the consolation prizes.
I have low chance to finish at top 5 as well, I did miss some picks after the restart that makes me lose some possible points because I did not place my prediction for some matches last round.
Lets do our best for the remaining rounds with a hope to win the consolation prize

Agree with panjul07 as right now if someone can predict just four of five exact results in single round then surely he can score some good points and have good chance of winning consolation prize as right now going in top five is very difficult but no impossible.

4 or 5 is very hard to do though and is usually rare. I'm not sure how many I got with my highest score as it doesn't seem to say for some reason. All I can see is the results, close scores and slam points. It's not all about exact scores either as you can tally points up easily just by getting right results with close scores. Didn't do great yesterday but was close on the draw with the Sheffield Wolves game but then they went and scored in injury time. Sheffield are only one point behind Wolves now. Both could still get that Europa spot but I think Man U will likely hold onto it or maybe Leicester will drop some points and get overtaken. No real exciting matches tonight.

Watched some of the Sheffield United match last night - it was a draw all the way - Wolves must be gutted !
Can’t work Leicester out - they seem to be all over the place, there’s no consistency at all - just like my picks 
Anyone fancy Bournemouth for a surprise tonight ?

I like Wolves and want them to do well. Nice to see Sheffield doing great though also. Pretty crazy since they were in the Championship last year. It's rare that teams move up from there and do well. Look at Norwich. They won the league and now they're rock bottom and are almost certainly going straight back down.

A draw against Arsenal was good for Leicester.

Not for me, though I don't know whether to go for a draw or Spurs win.

Yep, always like the smaller teams to do well.
The good thing with Norwich is that they’ve not had any Knee jerk panic overpriced January signings and haven’t sacked the manager . They’ll get a good pot of money and use that to re group next season.

What do you guys think of the double chance for Newcastle at 2.07 vs Watford?  Seems value and it's basically like +1 handicap at a good price.

[Trofo]

What do you guys think of the double chance for Newcastle at 2.07 vs Watford?  Seems value and it's basically like +1 handicap at a good price.

Never against Watford They are fighting team and they have been playing better then results showed. Now when they won that last game and with a such nice goal from Welbeck I am expecting them to continue. Maybe I am biased since they are my favorite low tier team this season, BTC logo on their sleeve helped a bit as well. Newcastle doesn't need points anymore and you never know how the team will perform in those situations. I would take that bet only if Newcastle is in some sort of rivalry with Watford but I don't think there is anything special going on between those two clubs.

But you are right that odds definitely have value. I just don't think that will be a winning bet. You can say the same for Villa tonight, all bets on them have big value but I am skipping them anyway since United is on fire. Those are situations when bookies, maybe even intentionally, lower the odds on favorite way too much. I take them when I feel there is a chance for upset but more often I just skip those games.

[tokeweed]

^  Too late.  Lol.  The money's booked at FJ just a couple of minutes after I made the post...  It's up to Steve Bruce now.  

Edit:  Everton vs Southampton could be a decent match.  I think am gonna watch that one now.

[big_daddy]

I've missed today to pick the first two matches, but there were two draws, so I would have earned zero points however 

I have a 0:2 on the pool for the last today's match, and Man. United is going to win this easily
not bad round n.34, I had even worst rounds

[DeathAngel]

Another great win for Man Utd, they are definitely going to make a CL spot (assuming City are defo banned). Elsewhere Aston Villa are in deep trouble.

Now from top to bottom all Premier League is very interesting as all teams fighting hard for some good reason at top Manchester United Chelsea Leciester Arsenal Wolves and Sheff have something to fight same at bottom now Aston Villa and Norwich in serious troubles and Watford and Bournemouth still fighting hard for survival.

[hilariousetc]

Originally had 0-0 for the Spurs game last night but changed it last minute to 0-1 to Spurs thinking they should be able to get a goal. Would have been mad at changing it but I also changed the Everton game from 1-0 to 1-1 and that came in so ended up with the same amount of points in the end regardless of the change. Retook the fifth spot again but it's so close between places 2- to mid table really. Anything can happen. Can't afford any slips ups or the top 5 will be shaken up drastically but I think Tokeweed is safe in the number one spot.

They'll find out on Monday whether the ban stays or not.

Mixed results for me this week, hit it big in the other leagues, but flopped on Wolves the past 2 games and they made up a lot of good parlays (2/1 always seems good value when they're involved). Nuno also won best manager of the month so it only made sense...

I put in some crazy picks for the remainder of the games, including a couple of Norwich wins, only pride to play for sometimes gets you up a few notches. Everything to play for the rest of us though, last place consolation is our money back;)

Mixed results for me this week

I need to collect some good point in this weekend. It seems everyone behind me are cheesing me easily and Toke is moving faster than everyone else. 5 matchs today. MoSala will surely overtake me if I have an average week. It's very hard to make picks in this round for me.

Watford's performance is lower than average but had to pick them because it seems Watford performs better against Castle in their home ground. I hope Deeney will score a goal today. Hard pick in the West Ham match too. I have gone with a draw, can't actually make up my mind.

Anyone, made their pick on FJM?

[tokeweed]

^  I did...

Antonio
Wellbeck
Salah
Jimenez
Auba
Vardy
Fernandes

I also got three bets parlayed.  West Ham double chance, the Watford match under 3.5 goals and LFC to win at 2.19ish.  

Edit:  My NUFC double chance at 2.07 is looking good.
