Why not? It happened and Manchester United is staying on top atleast until the next match against Liverpool. To be honest, I cant really recall when was the last time Manchester United stand on the top of the table after Sir Alex retired. Only 1 goal against Burnley, I'll take that and what matters the most is the 3 points from winning the game

Yeah, now they are looking really solid, but before season not many saw them as potential title contenders. I also can't remember when last time when they were on the top of table, if we don't count some starting rounds of season. Maybe it was in Fergie times, wouldn't be surprised.

I think it was in Sir Fergusson times when they used to dominate the Premier League even for consecutive years however things have changed a lot since then and anything can happen in this season,I find it difficult for them to keep staying on top after their performance against Burnley.

On another note this may be the round with the lowest points up to now if the leader fails to get any points during tonight match.

Currently Stephencurry is leading by 9 points so if he won today then surely he can overtake LFC_Liverpool because this can give him more points and 1 slam point which bring him above still few possiblities but first we have to watch last match of this round.

I'm currently in 11th place; and it looks like my beginner's luck might may have worn off.
Therefore, for tonight's Arsenal FC match, there's a Giveaway in Games and rounds if anyone wants a little extra fun.  
Come on Gunners!

I was about to rant in here about Man City have failed to live up to my 3 - 0 win expectations but I saw this in the pool https://i.imgur.com/ObgHo3z.jpg, so I can't even complain, lol. Man City are playing well, but the goals have really reduced drastically this season, Man City have only scored more goals(a goal) than just one team from the top 10 teams in the league.

3-0 was by far the most popular score and was also what I went for. I thought they might actually get more than that but didn't want to go into silly numbers. Very surpised they only managed 1-0.

^  Yup.  For what they have up front, they look pretty clueless.

I really suck at the moment with my predictions. It was made double as bad with Man Utd overtaking LFC at the top of the PL. Oh well we’ll just have to beat them at Anfield on Sunday. I’m tempted to go for Man Utd to win in my predictions as a reverse indicator based on me being crap in the prediction pool this season. Usually what i predict the opposite happens so hocus pocus, LFC 0-2 Man Utd

With all the hype and the high expectations, I think these two clubs could negate each other and end up in a scoreless draw.  And it’s also very possible that VAR could ruin this game for either club.

I can see a draw but maybe they'll both score. Hope it isn't boring but would rather Liverpool thrash them but can't say I have the confidence in them to do so right now.

Arsenal game just kicked off. Gone for a narrow 1-0 on that one.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Only 1.5 points in this round. Huh!

Stephencurry333 took the cap from me but it was an honor to have it for few days. Congrats brother.

Update:
Wait! I got 3 points from two matches LOL, Not bad.

[arallmuus]

I find it difficult for them to keep staying on top after their performance against Burnley.

I'll be honest and say that Im totally agree with this but as LFC_bitcoin wrote

If we can’t get up & motivated to play Man Utd then we don’t deserve to win the title tbh.

Same goes for Manchester United. If Manchester United cant win then winning the Premier League would be nothing but pipe dream

Arsenal game just kicked off. Gone for a narrow 1-0 on that one.

That narrow 1-0 didnt pay off. I went for the the same pick as well but didnt expect that Arsenal couldnt score. So bad, I should have stick with my first prediction for the draw


So it seems we are still stuck with the curse of one unique winner every round again. Stephencurry333 is the winner for round 18 with only 9 points. Got myself back up to top ten and Tomahawk9 still stands strong on top of the table

The next round is going to be interesting, there will be 15 matches unless some matches are cancelled so few might end up getting more than 20 points in this round

[Harkorede]

Ended the game round with just 5 points, but I'm only ranked 12th for the week   

The next round is going to be interesting, there will be 15 matches unless some matches are cancelled so few might end up getting more than 20 points in this round

Except there is a lot of upsets, whoever wins it will be having quite an unfair advantage if there are still prizes for the most points for a single round..

[slaman29]

^I think the advantage is just the same as those who only won yellow cap for the rounds with less than 10 games though, I mean, you can have more games but so does everyone else, right? Or am I missing some detail about how the selected person wins?

[hilariousetc]

Another unique round winner with Stephencurry333 grabbing this rounds yellow cap. Next round is tomorrow don't forget. Looks like 24 people have yet to do their scores.

Arsenal should be doing better than this. Really expected them to get the win. Only three people went with the draw and only one got the correct score.

It's just who gets the most points. When games get cancelled obviously there's an advantage if you're at the top but otherwise it could be a plus or minus depending on what scores you went for on the other games.

Prolly 1 - 1?  There was this LFC vs United match I got so excited about..  I think it was two years ago and I dropped a little action on the over 3.5, BTTS and over 2.5 combo and like 4 anytime goal scorer props...  Match ended nil - nil.  Rofl.  Never again.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Klopp said Matip might be fit to play, if he is we will beat Man Utd. Our defence is OK when he plays, obviously not as good as with Van Dijk but good enough.

I would start this team if Matip is ready -

4-3-3

Alisson, Trent, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Thiago, Mane, Salah, Firmino

[tokeweed]

^  Yo..  I think somebody hacked your account at Superbru.    I was checking the picks for the biggest match of the week.  I looked, I rubbed my eyes and looked again.  My only conclusion:  Hacked Account. 

[buwaytress]

There goes my first pick of the day already out the window. Hope Wolves can turn this around with 3 goals and at least get me a close score. So unpredictable, as usual. Suppose it's bookie heaven this weekend.

^^holy crap LFC you actually did predict against Liverpool. I locked to see what toke was referring to;) Hope your deja vu works haha

He is probably screwing with you guys and then he will change the prediction 5 minutes before the match 

Managed to pick winning market for wolves games so I am happy. Had Dendoncker to have a shot on goal @2,1. He already had 3 shots and lucky for me one was on target.

Started to play more and more tickets with shots on goal market. Odds are very good for guys who aren't strikers and there is a lot of value there.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Boys, I did predict Man Utd to win
We haven’t been playing well so I’m trying some sort of reverse jinx  

Matip looks like he will play which makes a huge difference. A CB partnership of Matip & Fabinho is so much better than the current alternatives.

[Indymoney]

First match of this Round 19 and we are going to robbed by Wolves as 70th minute and they are trailing by 2 - 3 against West Brom just one member with 1.5 points all others showing red signal which is not good start of this round even still we have 20 minutes and if Wolves able to score one goal then we have 5 members with 1 points.

[Mbitr]

To be honest I can’t believe no one else went for a West Brom win ! Wolves are in shocking form and Allardyce is slowly warming up !
Sorry, not been on this thread much - it’s hard to enjoy the banter when you’re in 40 + position -lol

Actually I have bet on that market as well, like you, the odds intrigued me, especially once Liverpool started getting their fullbacks in attacking positions. But Trent and Robertson both started taking fewer shots (and then not on target) but I ought to start looking at other teams picking up on overlapping shooters. I guess I don't watch enough games to know but yeah, thanks for the reminder. I'd be looking at least for tall defenders packing on the headers from deadballs.

Also, speaking of defender offensives, Robbo and Trent's netted me quite good profits with assists (odds also usually higher for defenders) but again, of late, bad patch. My mix for betbuilders usually has one of them assisting, and they give me good boosts in fantasy scores.

I am not the only one but in this round so far quite a few persons are still on zero points.I was expecting to fight for the yellow cap this time again as in paper the games looked so easy to predict but that is the Premier League,it is defined by surprise results every single round.

In this round we have 15 matches to still many members have chance to pick correct results and take some good points after first 3 matches only 1.3 points for me is very poor but after looking table on superbru feeling some better as in first 2 matches we have only 2 winners and third was some better as many have 3 points fight is still on for yellow cap and all are in for this.
