I thought I was smart enough to start with the 3 points from yesterday game but when I checked the pool results a dozen other participant had gotten the 3 points from yesterday game.This round is very short in term of games with just 7 games in total and maybe won't affect much the positions that we are in so far but can prove also a deciding round if the remaining games gives us a lot of surprise results and very few people get a lot of points,I am afraid this is going to happen as there are exactly three games that have come as expected so far in the Premier League including Brighton and Brentford games.

Although Vieira was mostly good at CP, I think they haven't won in like 10+ games and lately they have been playing really bad.
Still - I feel he should have kept his place and that they will struggle more without him in their relegation battle than they would with him at the helm.

I don't feel that CP will get relegated and that they were ever in any real danger of doing so, there are far worse teams in the league this season.

It's just a matter of time before the threat of them getting relegated in the becomes more of reality of things, and guess Crystal Palace board wouldn't just wait to find out the hard way.

I'd agree with you that Crystal Palace aren't any risk of getting relegated imo too, and they also of one the easiest fixtures of all the teams battling relegation, Arsenal and Tottenham are the only teams from the top 5on the table that they'd play against for the rest of this season.

Really bad results today and i think o most no one got some big points. Really hard to get any points today. Barely got 1 from this 4 games. Tottenham really knocked me down with 3:3 in last minutes and that is really dissapointing. Hopefully i get some correct scores for the rest of the matches in the round

hahaha man, we have less games this round, and also we have so many strange results,  but the most idiot and unpredictable was..... YES Totenham, what a bunch of clowns they are, not only because they played against the last team in the positions, but also they were 3-1 up!

And thinking in UCL places, how you can give this help to the other teams who are following you.

I knew that we would see a lot of surprise results during tonight games,it was strange that 3 games before them came exactly as predicted,something that extremely rarely happen in the Premier League.Both Brentford and Tottenham screw all of us,especially Brentford I had them in every ticket as that was the huge belief I had they should have won comfortably against Leicester,probably they were a bit tired from playing on Wednesday.I am assuming the guys who place unconventional predictions like a lot of draws have made a lot of points during such round.

1 point is a delight. Check this out



0 points so far and I got Chelsea to win which ended up in a draw. My last one would be Arsenal to win 2-0 but I guess Arteta wouldnt do anything stupid on this game because they are now out of the Europa league isnt it  I hope the last one dont ended up in a silly draw

[casperBGD]

what a round
Wolves lost at home, Brentford could not win at home, Tottenham could not hold to a lead, Chelsea the same, Premier league at its best

for me, Everton got point in London, second away match finished 2:2, and Dyche is getting the team into better atmosphere
Leeds took important points, Bournemouth seems exhausted and likely to go down in following weeks, Southampton took important point at home, relegation fight this season is really something

Do not worry as you are not the only one,almost no one scored points except the Aston Villa game which I assume most of us predicted as a win,no one could have predicted Tottenham to screw up after being in lead 1-3,no one expected Wolves to lose at home and surely no one expected Brentford or worse even Chelsea to not being able to win.I just checked the leaderboard and not many changes,it looks the same as yesterday night,meaning this round was full of surprises,I don't remember when it was the last time that the games in Premier League came as badly as this week.

We had the game under control until the 60th minute, when Potter decided to bring in those average 4 British passport holders to ruin the game. I've never seen a coach so sentimental in his selection when we have Kante, Mudryk, Stelling, and Maduake on the bench. Potter was just poor with his substitution again. we are much behind Manchester City in terms of winning attitude, when City are leading by 1-0 the coach deploy more forward players to wreak more havoc while Potter deploy defenders to sit and protect a lone goal lead. from 10th to 10th is killing me..

Sharing a point with a sinking relegation bond Everton is a crime !!

Take Harry Potter Magic out of our club.......

Simply awful. Chelsea costed me 3 points that would have meant a lot to me in the pool. Had 2-1 and they concede in the end. I dont know if i should start avoid betting on them and picking them. Potter needs to leave the club as fast as possible because things are getting worst and worst.

Sorry Chelsea fans but as a Liverpool fan (having an equally disastrous season) I am taking solace in your troubles. Chelsea have spent so much money on let’s be honest, absolute mediocrity. I’ve never seen a club spend so much money in such a short space of time on absolute crap. The most wasteful transfer team I’ve seen in my whole time watching football.

I mean imagine if Chelsea win the CL, they’d laugh in our faces. I just don’t see it though. Boehly must secretly be absolutely furious at the way this season is going.

Odds on Potter being sacked before the season ends?
Maybe if/when Real knock them out of the CL.

Tottenham destroyed my multi bet today (it's good that Milan later confirmed that it would not have played anyway). I won’t even look at the pool table, I have a feeling that I didn’t guess anything and this is another round with a minimum of points.
There is really an exciting fight in the basement, the only thing that is annoying is the different number of games. But in any case, it seems that the fate of the teams will be decided at the finish line.

I totally agree with you, its by far the worst transfer window i see.
About Chelsea in UCL obviusly in terms of football they dont have any chance, the only chance they got its a "historical" , "casual" or more b ased on a fun fact, the two times they win the UCL was something like this, they were bad at home league and they change their manager in mid season DI matteo replace Villas Boas and Tuchel replace Lampard.


About EPL, its one of the most competitive seasons i think.




Between the last one and the 12 are only 4 points yes FOUR. 9 teams in 4  points.
And Between 11 and 6 again only 4 points and 6 teams, AMAZING for neutrals.

(I know some have less games but doesnt change the thing).

I thought I had the worst among those of us who are posting regular basis but looking at you gives me some confidence LOL

Have a look on a better one 😂



It's been a bad round so far for many. Why wouldn't it be? Three draw out of six match so far. I don't think many people prefer to go with a draw.

Hopefully I will break not having luck to get an exact score streak today 🤣? I lost my lady luck LOL

You're flying in the champions league pool. Beautiful sight

Thank you. It's my last hope to win something this season 😉

I don't mind draws and I generally pick quite a few of them but problem in this GW was that they were all quite unexpected results. I had 1:1 on Brentford - Leicester and then changed it last minute to 2:1 so missed 3 points there. Never would have got Chelsea draw just when they started to look a bit better or Wolves losing at home while conceding 4 goals.

Don't fault the transfer, blame the manager; the players we got are world-class youngsters sought after by the majority of European clubs. Potter is pitiful and has no idea when to use/drop them. To balance the books, there will be 3-5 departures next season.

Give up! We Chelsea fans are already used to the fact that Potter is not going to be fired anytime soon. If he manages to knock out Madrid, which is unlikely, he will be rewarded with another bottle of champagne on the beach with another beautiful girl. If he loses, he will receive additional support from the board, so it is a win-win situation for him.

The problem with a team of world-class youngsters is that they play like children and not like men.
Arsenal had teams of children more talented than what Boehly bought you in the last 10 years or so and they got nowhere with them - for a team to work you need experience as well.

I actually don't even feel that this Chelsea team is filled with such extraordinary talent - it's probably the worst money ever spent in football.

Potter is partially to blame for sure - but he's got a team nobody can work with.

Lampard qualified for the Champions League with a team of average 21 (aged) players, and Tuchel won the Champions League with the same young stars, so there is no excuse for Potter not to get results with the 50-young stars..

You can't criticize the transfer when 97% of the incoming players are on the bench. Mudryk had a good game against Leicester city, scoring (VAR ruled out) and assisting, and all he got in return was a 90-minute bench warming stint against Everton.

Maduake played well in his first three games but was benched for the next four. Our two strikers, Fofana and Auba, have been completely ejected from the team for no apparent reason.

Gallagher, Pulisic, and Cheek aren't in the plan for next year, so I'm not sure why they're getting more playing time than Mudryk and Maduake and aren't being dropped like Mount.

If the team is underperforming, blame the coach; it is their responsibility to lead the team to victory.

Ending this round with 1 point from Arsenal  . I guess its better than 0 point and I guess this is my first wooden spoon this season(?) cant recall if I ever got any other during this season





So I guess those with 0 points means they didnt put any predictions this round hence I got the wooden spoon

Give up! We Chelsea fans are already used to the fact that Potter is not going to be fired anytime soon.

Wait he wont? dang, I thought he is a goner for sure. Probably they are going to keep him there unless if Chelsea ended up being humiliated by Real Madrid in UCL
