Leicester! huh!! This team lost their momentum I think. But against City you can not expect much from them though.

I looked on some stats and it seems I have a 2nd thought in mind about the pick of this match.

I haven't changed my mind yet about the game, sure Leicester has lost their momentum but my backing them to win isn't based on their ability to deliver against city but because city will underperformed giving Leicester a chance to come out with a win. City are usually the creators of their own downfall as them belittling most games turns back to hurt them.

The top 4 spot is becoming very competitive so Leicester knows the rest teams are bringing in their A games to make the slot since City has already lost theirs, if Leicester can win then they'll have additional three points advantage ahead of anyone who wins against tottenham vs Chelsea which is most likely going to end in a draw both hoping Chelsea can escape with a win.

Haven't decided my mind yet but I think I will lean towards for Leicester to win. Yes, you are right that City are their own enemy. In many matches they messed up. Vardy has not scored in the last few matches and he might find this match a good occasion for him to score another few goals. He has scored two first-half goals in his last four matches against City.

I see Chelsea and Tottenham are far behind.

Just submitted my picks for this week. For the big games i went with: Chelsea 1 - 1 Spurs  / Leicester 0 - 3 Manchester City

Am I the only who thinks Man City are going to win comfortably?

They're 9 points behind The Foxes with 12 games to play, that isn't exactly a big gap. And there's a 5 point gap between 4th place Chelsea and 9th place Everton. I think we're in for a good top 4 race towards the end of the season.

I had this thinking that City will have a comfortable win but some of the recent statistics has changed my mind. This will be a good match I think and possibly Leicester will be able to manage a close win. Who knows.

Hope the competition stay alive and not ends up boring like the first place LOL however I am happy with us having out of reach of anyone in this league.

tomahawk, Man City have a really important CL game with Real Madrid in the week so they might make changes in the Leicester game to prioritise the CL. Remember City played West Ham on Wednesday too. I have a feeling Leicester may steal a draw.

Yeah, could be a close game, maybe a 3-0 for City is a bit too "comfortable"..the thing is that Leicester aren't in great form right now (1 win in the last 5 league games). yo btw, you still playing FJ Majestic 7? don't forget to submit your picks.

I forgot about the game vs West Ham. Pep used the best starting XI in that game so i could definitely see him rotating the squad...although, the CL game is on a Wednesday night, that's almost 4 days of recovery for the players after the league game, so maybe Pep will field a strong team tomorrow (?)

DANG! I totally forgot about this. I have not picked for last two rounds and if I would not see thing then I might not remember it too. I will do my pick and will share it in this thread. It's too hassle for me to make the picks since I use TOR LOL

Last round was very long as started on 8th February and End just yesterday with the game of Manchester City vs West Ham I just check I have four out of seven which is very hurting as few games goalless which give more frustration.

I was able to make my picks for FJM for this round. In the Chelsea match I am expecting Abraham to play and score another goal for Chelsea since I have 2 - 0 in the pool LOL

Here are my picks by the way,

I had four out of 7 several times but yet to have at - least five to get some free bets which is not happening with me at all.

Chelsea v Spurs
Spurs should have had a player sent off - Lo Celso did a bad challenge and VAR said it was NOT a red card . 20 mins later VAR have said that he should have been sent off . VAR have admitted they’ve made a mistake ! Crazy world of VAR . They should let the captains of each team have 2- 3 reviews per match and the captain can choose when he wants to challenge a decision .

[tokeweed]

^  VAR OOOOUUUUTTT RAAAAAHHH!

Anyway...  I wonder how long Mou would last at Tottenham.  One season and prolly til the holidays of his second season would be my guess.  Lolol.

I saw the challenge, ridiculous that VAR didn’t think it was bad enough for a red card. It’s a textbook red card imo, I don’t see what the issue was.

Chelsea won’t mind too much though as they’re about to win a big game.

After 20 minutes and so they realized the mistake and officially said that it was an error. How come watching something in slow motion and again and again make people confuse. Who are these people seating there to make VAR decision. Surly their judgment sucks.



Another bad day for VAR.

I saw it too and NO argument it was definitely a red !

I was able to make my picks for FJM for this round.

Looks like we won't win the big prize this week  I had Dele Alli as goalscorer. Oh, and that Spurs goal also messed up your pick on our pool, huh? At least i'm off to a good start in my 3 fold acca



About the game, Chelsea's midfield was immense today, by far their best performance this season, very Liverpool-like.

[buwaytress]

That'll teach me. I was 2-1 for Chelsea after making the picks early last week, and then after seeing Spurs lose badly and luckily to Leipzig I thought, surely Mou's gonna go for broke right? So I change the score to 1-2 AND bet on the same team. But Dele Alli didn't start and Moura was slightly off. Damn.

What a day for Giroud to score though.

Yeah I missed to get 3 points in the pool but seeing at your start in the 3 fold I am happy. Hope you win the acca. The match was going to finish by 2 - 0 but lucky you. Chelsea did play good in the last match too against Utd but it was bad referring that made them lose.

You really do not know what exactly the outcome will be. I do change my picks for I am feeling lucky this week with my picks. I hope I do not go wrong.

Seriously...  That's what's so dumb about it.  VAR realizes making a mistake and stops the play minutes later...??  Really??

In this case they realized it after 20 minutes and admitted that they made an error and it was suppose to be a red card. Now you can not go back 20 minutes in the past 🤪
The VAR team really messing up with the reputation of EPL and FIFA needs to pay attention there.
 

[tokeweed]

^  And you know what...  Football referee decision making has become even more questionable with VAR than without it.  Just get rid of the damn thing.
