Phew guys, phew. rdbase must be feeling pretty good sitting there pretty eh? Lost 1 and won 2 of my big bets, I definitely won't be doing that so soon now but I think Klopp knew he would be in for torrid time with Leeds the unknown factor and them being as equally crazy on the pressing. Liverpool high line as usual but Gomez and VVD simply not being able to keep their lines steady so we kept getting 3/4 vs 2 in the box!

I paid dearly for picking Fulham to beat Arsenal, but am surprised there were THREE other guys picking Fulham or the draw haha. Looks like I have many more companions this season for those foolish picks;)

Full credit to cygan and big G for getting Palace spot on... sorry to jayce and webtricks for picking the Leeds draw.

So far, last season's lesson of just keeping mainly with favourites and simply getting the scoring right is working out!

Man, I knew already when Rodrigo came on the pitch, he gonna ruins the game. And HE DID! Also the fact that Liverpool lost their community shield's game proves us that they are not ready to defend their title yet. So I was very sure Leeds gonna taught them a lesson. Though, in the game Leeds really did it. Bielsa is a genius indeed!

Only two points from four matches yesterday and today I have 1 - 2 win for Leicester. Not sure what will be the final score. But for sure this round is not going good with me. Overall since there are so many of us, we can expect a hard competition in this season. Already some of the new faces are dominating the leader board.

I don't know if a few rounds would be enough. The situation might change radically after them due to the quantity of the rounds, I think. It would make sense if it doesn't, of course, because if people are good at predictions, they'll keep being good, whereas those who are bad will be bad, but maybe it's not how this works.

I am not sure if you were with us in the last season. It was a roller coaster for all of us. 38 long rounds 380 matches if I am not wrong. Anything is possible.

[tokeweed]

Just wondering.  Did anybody buy multiple entries this season or can we only assume that some players have multiple accounts?  

[buwaytress]

@jayce: Heh yeah, they certainly gave us a scare. Mind you, both Bielsa and Klopp will be giving a huge bollocking to their defenders for playing like schoolboys last night.

@toke:Actually, we have more or less the same players last season or from previous season all enter -- I see a number of names I don't recognise, neither on Superbru nor on this forum, so I imagine some are just gunning for the huge prize and/or are Sportsbet players who don't come on the forum much. Joca I know is a tipster on the forum but usually on Nitrogen, saw he joined (hey Joca;) ).

Too unbothered to check, more money for me when I sweep it all muahahaha.

Anyway.

The other promoted team WBHA. Not a single shot on target, Vardy joins Salah already on the race for goals, routine win for Leicester, too bad I didn't stick to my guns and go 3-0, I went for 3-1 thinking Albion at least had a goal in them.

26/48 so far, Fulham pick really hurt me haha.

Spurs-Everton, brave Joca went on 0-0. Stevebitcointalk (is that SB itself?) went for a Toffees win! On evidence of first 15 mins, maybe not such a bad pick. Son and Kane a bit subdued, but they're generally like that at first I guess. But Richarlison 1-on-1, rounded the keeper, and then blasted into the skies. Heh.

What was wrong with Tottenham? Unbelievable!
They ruined two good bet slip which I would win easily. A five fold where only PSG match to be settled and a double bet where another mach is a sure win.





I think I am going to avoid Tottenham in my future picks.

Not to mention in the pool I have shit score so far!

Yes Tottenham is not good for any pick in future they are good just on papers not in real Everton is much better and solid team for current season.

I was expecting at least a draw from them, even though I have them as well in a 3 team parlay, but they are back to their inconsistent form where they stopped last season, I guess.

I'll probably start skipping them in my betslip too, but it's unavoidable in the pool ☹️

[tomahawk9]

What was wrong with Tottenham? Unbelievable!

i saw this coming from a mile away yet i still backed them in a small parlay and predicted a draw in our pool and the weekly Multi Master ...not only that but i also followed Steve's Multi Magic and, just like i predicted, they messed it all up

[hilariousetc]

Spurs were shit. Was expecting them to grab a win but only by one goal. Tomorrows games should be good and I'm looking forward to see how Chelski play. Hopefully they'll have all their new players available. Sheff vs Wolves is harder to call but might go for a stalemate on that one.

@jayce: Heh yeah, they certainly gave us a scare. Mind you, both Bielsa and Klopp will be giving a huge bollocking to their defenders for playing like schoolboys last night.

At least 5 people dropped out.

Not that I know of.

One person backed Everton.

[cryptofrka]

I did not expect such good football so early in the season. Liverpool and Leeds played a fantastic game, Leeds will really be a fun team to watch. They pressed really high and managed to remain compact - they will cause teams problems and I'm glad Liverpool squeezed a win.

Arsenal looked good too, but Fulham is horrible so it's not really fair to judge yet. The only disappointment was Tottenham.

I'm most interested in Chelsea so looking forward to today.

I didn't start well in the predictor, but to be fair some unexpected results occurred.

[mole0815]

I managed to land in the back third. So the start was in need of improvement

I'm in the process of setting up Superbru on my cell phone so that I'll be closer to it in the future.
But another question -> what is the best site or ticker to be up2date on matchday (and afterwards)?

Just check and shocked what a start for Wolves first 10 minutes and leading by 2 goals look like they are very serious about this season and want to do some big which is not expected by us.

[rdbase]

Whomever had Wolves to score over 2 goals had their dreams come true within the first 10 minutes of the game.
They lead 2-0 already!

It will be very tough for Sheffield to score in this game. But I have them 2 goals so I hope so.

Even we are in first round matches but now I am feeling 2 teams can give some serious upsets in coming matches because their desire about this already shown one Everton and second Wolves both are very good and quality teams have ability to be in top ranked for this season.

[DeathAngel]

Damn, had no idea this game started so early. Will tune in to watch the rest now, lucky for me I predicted Wolves to win

I have Wolves to win but only 1:0 so again no correct score for me. I expected a very physical and tight game and those 2 early goals really surprised me. The rest of the game then went more or less like i thought it would. That Traore could be a great player if only he had something between his ears. He makes has such great runs and dribbling but never gives the ball in the right time.

Can't wait for Chelsea game. They have so many new signings so I am eager to see how they will look this season. Havertz and Werner are in the first eleven, Ziyech and Silva not even on the bench.

[Mbitr]

Shit week for me so far - 3.5 pts so far - don’t let me down Chelsea !!!!!!
Just got in and started watching the match - how no big club came in for Lamptey I’ll never know !! He was awesome back end of last season and has started this one even better !!

[rdbase]

If Chelsea ends with a 3-1 score then this would give me a close result with 1.5 pts.
So I will end week 1 with 11.5 score on the leaderboard.
Stevebitcointalk was on a roll at the end and was catching up fast on the leaders in the top 5 fast.

He managed to get upto 2nd place in no time

I got my yellow cap!
