I missed the first 3 matches today... even Liverpool, I was thinking on what will I pick 0:3 or 0:2 and the match started  
well, there are 2 more today, let's choose some good results

Sheffield United is in a pretty good shape. Chelsea is quite efficient on the away matches, on the previous duels, they have both been quite effective as well
I think that both could score and I'm giving and advantage to Chelsea - 1:2 is my pick

Brighton and City are both in their safe, almost secured positions on the table, Brighton has been playing efficiently as a host lately, I'm predicting lot of goals scored tonight
My pick is 1:4  

Cheers!

Geez, Antonio with the poker! good thing i had him on my Majestic 7 picks   unfortunately, i didn't think Deeney would score today, so i'm already out of the '1BTC prize' race, shit! I always have him as goalscorer but he never scores, wth man?  

That is why I keep forcing Deeney and Jimenez. They didn't score for a long time, especially Deeney, so they were due to score something soon. Spurs - Arsenal is absolutely the worst game to predict scorer this week. If only Auba played central striker or Spurs played a little better. This way I already know I am missing that one.

Question. Can we change picks for remaining games after first game started?

You can change them right up until kick off as long as you don't lock them.

Gone for 3-0 on the Liverpool game. 1-0 now. I'm not watching it but looks like they're off to a sluggish start.

I think it will be close. Anything could happen. Will probably back the draw though. I'll probably watch this one.

Sorry, I wasn't clear enough. I was asking for Fortune Jack Majestic 7. There was few posts about that before but I should have mentioned it anyway.

I know for our pool and try my best not to change predictions. Every time I change them I end up with lees points than original selection.

You cannot change picks once first match is started as its locked and showed next week picks and current week picks in progress.

@Trofo  I also have Jimenez, was thinking maybe Lewin or Richarlison...and for the london derby i have Auba (:  GL!

Guys wait...  Did Firmino have his hair curled?  Lololol.

red curly hair, jesus christ  

anyhow, i need another goal from Liverpool, i have 2-0 in the pool...how come there's been 14 shots from the reds and only one goal!?
edit* 24 shots...1-1 vs. Burnley. welp!  

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Shit man! It's a draw. I was happy to see Burnley ti score but there were still enough time for Liverpool to score one more goal. Salah was getting it but Pope saved Burnley. He is going to be the man of the match I guess. No point for anyone in the pool.

I really hate when weaker team starts wasting time at the end of a match.

No one have any point in Pool and 1 Bitcoin dream is also gone now lets watch what happen in tomorrow matches very upset with Liverpool they was in full control but Pope surely is going to be man of the match.

[buwaytress]

Bummer. My dreams lie dashed around me. Heh. But yeah tokes Bobby's had that since lockdown, then he dyed it red after City lost to Saints. Pope still got 1 more clean sheet than Alisson or Edison so he'll be hoping someone scores against them. Damn but it took something special to beat him (Robbo's header best I've seen post lockdown, even better than Salah's last goal).

Like it's suddenly just getting harder to win now, but that's what we get playing with formations (though to be fair Williams and Jones were actually quite good).

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Disappointing match, losing to Sheffield's United without responding to any goal scored by them. Our midfield wasn't productive, which was a major reason behind our lack of creativity to break the Sheffield's defense. Don't understand why Abraham gets to start ahead of Giroud when he has been out of form for quite sometime now while Giroud has been giving us goals.

He (Abraham) was basically not in the match, no threat to the Sheffield's backline. Very disappointing and we're just 1 point ahead of Leicester at 4th position and 2 ahead of Manchester United at 5th with each having a game to play. That's just mess up.

PS: Just remembering I haven't placed my bet for match week35 luckily with superbru you can do that anytime before kick off, let's see if I can get some point to save me off relegation (button three) lol

[big_daddy]

4 matches today, one starting soon

Wolverhampton in a series of ineffective matches, Everton has some difficulties to score an away goal, and for a long time, Everton did not concede more than one goal in the game but the last 3 mutual games were full of goals
I'm going with a 2:1 on the pool

Aston Villa has an imperative to win this duel if they want try to escape the relegation zone, Crystal Palace has lost four matches in a row and I think that this series will continue today
My pick on the pool is: 2:0
a Draw No Bet on Aston Villa @1.66 is a good pick also

Tottenham is much more efficient playing home, Arsenal is in a pretty good goal-scoring form
In the previous three mutual duels, both teams scored a goal
My pick is 2:2, usually I am bad picking draws, but I'm 20th on the leaderboard, so 
a Both Teams To Score @1.71 could be an option

Bournemouth scores less than a goal per game this season, on average, Leicester is quite ineffective away from home lately
They will play cautiously because of the importance of the duel for both teams, Leicester has to confirm the CL position and Bournemouth has to avoid the relegation
My pick is 0:2, I'm giving an advantage to the guest tonight

[buwaytress]

Good picks above Trofo, I can't remember my Superbru predictions (and don't want to look now to change) but betting wise, I went for Wolves (despite them losing me a lot lately) because surely they were due a win and turns out we needed 2 minutes before HT and 2 minutes of the 2nd half to win the game haha. Anyway, I avoided Arsenal Spurs outright and went for overs (BTTS is good value too I agree), and I'm going for Leicester only because I'm sure Vardy's pumped to win the Golden Boot with just so few games to go.

I do think Palace is unfairly made the underdogs in this match though. You're right they lost 4 in a row but that's Liverpool, Leicester, Burnley and then Chelsea, and to be fair, they weren't expected to gain any points except against Burnley, and with Zaha looking at his best again last match, I don't see them giving up so easily so I'm taking a Palace 35/10 as good value for me. Relegation motivation is powerful though, so Villa could be fighting for every inch of the turf.

All small bets, and just catching odds, not sure yet if I'm going to parlay a few hands as there are some crackers in the other leagues too.

What a performance by Leicster, I am still trying to decide if to start crying or continue with laughter. They were leading 1:0 and totally controlling the game until 65th minute. Then they managed to concede 2 goals and receive a red card with bunch of unbelievable mistakes. You just have to see this to believe it. No way words can explain that but I will try.

First, Schmeichel managed to shot his own player in the back when kicking out the ball he had in his hands, then that player makes a penalty and that is first goal. Minute later Soyuncu doesn't even try to block the shot from opposition but just moves like he wants to stop the pass while opponent goes alone on his goalkeeper and then after conceding the goal kicks the goalscorer when the ball is already in the net and gets red card. After that they continued with less obvious mistakes and now they are losing 4:1. Wouldn't believe it I had not seen it.

I just needed their win for nice multi ticket to pass, ah well at least Vardy scored so I am still in the game for Freebet in FJ Majestic 7.

Not surprised though, I know it won't be that easy for them to defeat Bournemouth judging from their (Leicester's) poor performance since the restart of the league which is why I placed a bet against them winning. Although I'm very happy they lost but them conceding more goals just ruined my chances of gaining 3 points on the pool instead I'm just left with 1 point for correct result.

For every match they (Leicester) plays, I get convince more of them not ending the season in top4 which give me hope of my team (Chelsea) qualifying for next seasons champions league tournament.

it was my last in play match on my ticket, the first 3 pairs won earlier
and of course there was an offer to cash out earlier

stupid me...

what a bad end of the week.

I watched Tottenham vs Arsenal game, they killed my interest in football today. I'm not sure what their tactics are (for both teams). I hope none of them will qualify to European cups in next season, it will only embarrass Premier League. because of them, I missed an obviously good match between Bournemouth and Leicester. I think, Leicester going out of top 5 for sure. They can't play without Madison and Soyuncu against Wolves and Man Utd.
There are only few teams play seriously with desire to win(Man Utd, Sheffield, Wolves). All other from the middle of the table play just to finish this season, like Everton, Newcastle, Crystal Palace... Really hope, West Ham, Watford can stay in PL.

[hilariousetc]

What the hell happened to Leicester? 1-0 up until the 67th minute and on aim to get me a correct score then they ended up losing 4-1. Anyone going for anything other than a home win on tonight's game? United have been playing pretty well recently and should win but Southampton have had some good results as well including beating Man City.

They don't deserve to qualify for Europe and doubt they will. Hopefully Wilves or Sheffield will instead. Regardless you moved up there places to sixth behind me. It's going to be real hard to hold on to the top 5 spots as it's so close.

Manchester United is in great shape and fighting for a place for the Champions League
Southampton without any clear way laying in the middle of the table, but able to score goals
My pool pick is 3:1 and I will take a risk and make a bet on an Asian handicap -1.5 on MUTD

In Pool I already done this same choice as I am also looking currently Manchester United players are doing great job and they can ruined this Southampton side with few goals as now city rivals already in Champions League and they have good chance to qualify after winning this match.

Wow, what a round - 8,5 points is the maximum collected so far.
If nobody from the top 7 gets the correct result tonight, we won't breach the 10 pts barrier

I did some research because I wanted to know if it happened so far and we were close to it 3 times (10,5 points in round 8 and 10 pts in rounds 25 & 32), but actually already ended below 10 in round 28 (8,5 points).

Good old Rafa would say 'we must improve'
