Wow! Thanks to 3 exacts points from Chelsea and Liverpool, that's been my saving grace for this round, before those fixtures I was stuck at one 1 point...

Hopefully, Tottenham will make it better for me, I've got 2 - 0 win on them.

EDIT: Tottenham are already behind, there's no way I can get the exact score 

82nd minute in progress if we have no change in this match then just 2 members going with points 1 with Exact and 1 with close mean just cygan going to lost his place and will drop one place all others will stay as right now but if Spurs able to score one goal then surely we have 4 members with points and some good changes in ranking.

So there it is , Stephencurry333 ended the curse of one unique winner for each round  . Btw I forgot to put in my score prediction for the last 4 matches but superbru assigned mine to the popular score pick and I got 2 points each from Chelsea and Liverpool. Interesting stuff, I never know superbru has such feature

[hilariousetc]

Really surprised with the Leeds and Newcastle away wins win and Spurs losing to Brighton. Didn't get any points from those ones. Don't forget that the next round starts tomorrow. It looks like another one of those nightmare rounds for me with a lot of potential draws or match-ups that I can't split.

It was a shame we couldn't keep it unique but I guess it was inevitable. I'm sure we'll see a few people winning second time rounds before the end of the season. I'm sure all of us previous winners would like to win as many as we can  . Will help soften the blow if we don't finish within the paid places. Winning a few free bets could end up being better than the 5-10 spots really.

In this upcoming round if potential draws happen you probably will go up some places as I have seen you predict many draws in general.However I don’t see many draws for this round as I see Manchester United,Manchester City,Arsenal,Liverpool and maybe Leicester winning their games.What is for sure a lot of winning potential this round for bettors of the Premier League.

I agree with most of your choices, but not sure about Arsenal away to Wolves. Not sure about Leicester away to Fulham either, especially after losing to Leeds at home. Fulham have drawn five out of their last seven games and the only two teams they lost to out of those ones were Chelsea and Man United and it was only by one goal in both. If Leicester had Vardy I might back them but not with him still being out and after their last performance with Leeds.

Oh, I still think we should put an asterisk on Tokeweed's score with a note at the bottom since it was practically a double round and takes away from moles impressive round:

[tokeweed]

^  Is there a prize on who gets the highest points per round?  I don’t mind the asterisk tbh.  I just want to win the pool straight up and win first prize manies.    But I’ll still be happy just getting into the money spots tho. 

Anyway..  I think there’s gonna be mostly draws in next round.

[arallmuus]

Added number of matches on the round as well as an asterix to emphasize that Tokeweed has higher points due to higher number of matches. Also bolded mole's name as well as his point so that people might notice it immediately.

^  Is there a prize on who gets the highest points per round?

Nope , not at all but I do get hilarious' point. Getting 19 points from 10 matches is a great achievement. So far Mole stands on top in term of average points per match with 1.9 points per match, with Jayce and Bigdaddy on the 2nd position with 1.75 points per match and you on the 3rd with average of 1.67 points per match

Not this season other than the free $50 bet from sportsbet. I figured with the weekly free bets this year it's not really needed. I think if there's any money left in the pot after fees and everyone's paid out we could give it to the overall highest scorer but I'm not sure how we'd award it. I think we'd probably have to disqualify any rounds that have more than 10 games. Or if anyone can think of how we could award it for some other achievement. Ideally I'd like it to be something that everyone has a chance to win regardless of where they are in the leader-board so there's still something to play for.

Thanks. The update is helpful and gives a better perspective. Toke's score doesn't seem that impressive now haha.

Don't really agree with this. While I agree that it is not fair that Toke made a result with bigger pool of games if you take away some points from him, then you should also add some points to the yellow cap winners in weeks were we did not have full 10 games. That is only fair solution but it will be very hard to calculate.

You should check which game got removed from which week and than check the prediction of the yellow cap winner for that week and add his points after game gets played in double week. Basically eliminate double and "short" weeks by calculation yellow caps as if there was no delays. And if you do that the person who got the yellow cap in some previous weeks could actually not be the yellow cap winner anymore.

As I said too much work, and I would just go by Superbru results and award Tokeweed if nobody manages to beat him. Nobody tied our hands in double week, we should have done better. Either way no money in my pocket since I believe I did not get a single yellow cap in 3 years I am playing this predictor

agree on this one, it is supported by Superbru, and we should follow their rules regarding weeks for yellow cap
if we do not follow this, then whole competition is not as per Superbru rules

nevertheless, it is a good performance to have 19 in regular round, but we all could done better in a round with 15 matches, and it is not impossible to have 25, actually in Calcio pool there was 25 in a regular round
with all said, it is a bit sad to have just one round to shine for the whole season, but it is a Superbru pool rules

This is just a simple leaderboard for everyone that made it on top of every round / yellow cap winner. No one is getting anything from this leaderboard and no one is getting harmed from it so yeah whatever we do with the leaderboard, it doesnt really matter. The winner will be based on the leaderboard from superbru so yeah dont worry too much about it 

[Harkorede]

That's some tough luck, It's my my second year in the competition also without a yellow cap, but there is still more than enough time to better your records 

We've got another round starting today, this probably the hardest for me in recent weeks so many even teams and I can't easily pick either side, the fact that  I'm not a fan of picking draws makes it harder.

[hilariousetc]

Don't forget the new round starts today. Nearly half of people haven't done their scores yet.

A round consists of ten games. Or should do. Any more shouldn't be included. At best they should probably put the rescheduled games in a separate round. Nobody is taking points away from toke nor am I going to mess about adding them on to the previous rounds as that is just ludicrously silly and obviously isn't feasible, but it should be noted that toke's winning round was literally a round and half hence the abnormally high score.

Who said we're playing by Superbru's rules? They're just a site we use to keep a tally. They don't issue payments or free bets. Sportsbet has been issuing free bets to all the yellow cappers even when tied even though superbru orders them via their own system. I just won't award anything for the highest scorer if it's going to cause issues and since that was the plan anyway.

thanks for the hint - otherwise the round would have totally failed to predict by me

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Really hope Southampton can further Man Utd’s woes tonight by sneaking a win. I really wouldn’t put it past them. Is Danny Ings fit & will Minamino be able to play tonight? If so I have a sneaky feeling S’ton will get a result.

[Harkorede]

Arsenal looked to be stealing the win today against struggling Wolves, but reckless David Luiz has other plans, and now they're down to 9 men with Leno handed his matching orders, they're down 2 - 1 with just a few minutes to go.

A very unusual start for Southampton as just 3rd minute and they are down to 10 men just because of Jankewitz behaviour he need to think about this because its never been good and acceptable now chances are going to lost for them to win in this match in other match Newcastle already enjoying very early lead through Shelvey hopefully now these two will give some good points to me as in first matches I already lost badly.

Man United have taken total advantage of the Southampton red card, It's 4 - 0  in the first 45 minutes, and there is much time to play for.

Crystal Palace have also turned the game over and are in the lead already too.

I haven't watched game, but I read that there was contraversial offside:

They must be kidding... VAR is f*cking joke in EPL.
I'm not against VAR, but such offsides is just ridiculous.
