^ I think it's my first exact score for this whole season.  

And too bad Antonio is injured.  This fixture vs Liverpool could've been one of the chances Moyes could be started to be hailed as a genius.  Lolol. 

Liverpool could struggle without VVD, Matip and to an extent, Fabinho.

Jesus, really? What on earth have you been predicting all this while? Haha! I went with a Palace win, thinking of Wolves somehow not getting many chances but they were clinical last night. Moyes *is* a genius btw =p

Anyway, I sort of screwed up with Sheffield. They really ought to have got a goal back but their Number 7 just missed a beautiful cut-in pass and City looks to have survived playing without a proper striker.

^  Pep could be viewed as something like a fraud after his stint at City imo.  He was hired to win the club's first CL trophy.  Don't think he's winning it with them.  City should just move on and hire Bielsa.  IMHO.

Maybe you are right, Pep did not do a serious job in Europa CL. It's possible that this trophy is a priority on the club but I won't agree with thesis Bielsa to City. In the end, we want stronger Leeds maybe more than strong M.City. Leed also have good infrastructure, some glory days, big history... why they can't return to the elite part of the league, why top managers must be reserved only for rich clubs?

Leeds comeback in Premier League is really good and they deserve this as they lost many years in Championship but now time for them to have some good glory days again with Bisla and he is really doing very good job from first day or return here on other hand for Manchester City I am also really surprised what problem is going with them as look like again they are not going to win Champions League even spending some really big amount their current squad is very good but sadly injury list is also very long right now.

Damn Liverpool made me sweat. Jota's a revelation for sure, but at least Shaq also made his mark, an assist similar to the last game against Midtylland (sp) that's two consecutive much-needed winning goals from Diogo now. If not for him, only rdbase would have gotten points!

9 points for tokeweed so far after this game from 3 games! Did you say you NEVER got exact points before? Well 3 in a row bloody well done man.

^  Told you Moyes is a genius.    It would've been a Hammers win with Antonio.

Ssshhhh.  Don't jinx me.  And I haven't been looking at my results tbh.

Personally, sure...  I mean get what you're saying but that wasn't the argument I had mind.  I was just thinking how Bielsa is one of the few managers who could fit really well at City.

After good progress last week, so so progress this week. I mean 3/4 correct outcomes are okay but not even 1 was an exact score, all were "close" and I still dropped 3 positions to 35;)

Anyone think Everton will lose today? They lost Digne and Richarlison to red cards suspension, enough to throw them off balance?

This round is looking good for me, but the previous one was terrible. In round 7 I have 1 result, 1 exact and 2 close scores! But the tricky matches are ahead, so I don't think my luck will persist. As for Newcastle vs Everton, I stand with the majority (based on the pool picks data on Superbru) that Everton will win the game. Like many others, I chose 1:2 as the score. However, I'm very unsure about this game, so I wouldn't be surprised if they lose or if it's a draw. It's one of those cases when it's hard to be certain about the outcome IMO.

^ That's what I get rooting for Everton while predicting 2-1 Newcastle (pretty cool pick for the other 3 who did too, and weird no one else picked any other winning score)! Did get me right back into 6th spot though. I did think they'd have problems losing Digne but they'll have lost a lot of confidence today after dominating and still losing this.

OK Gooners. Don't disappoint me. Only 7 of us backing the win!

I knew Everton would have problems today but still thought they would be able to get 1 point from this match. At least DCL scored a goal in 90+ for my ticket to pass, I had both to score as last match in 5 way multi.

United and Arsenal are playing quite boring game so far. Both teams look like they don't want to lose this match and hope that goals will come by themselves. That Saka guy will be one hell of a player, probably the best player in Arsenal squad in the last few weeks.

Everton with James Rodriguez looked like top 4 contenders, but without the colombian they looked like the usual mid-table Everton side that we're all familiar with...good thing i skipped SB Steve's Multi Magic this week lol

Well, less than 10min for the whistle and Arsenal are 1-0 up, just need Man Utd to score the equalizer so that i can at least get 1.5pts from this match (just a few users expected a Gunners win)...ffs, and I thought Spurs was a coin flip, Man Utd are just 😞

With two more games to go this evening, I'm currently in first place and a contender for this week's Yellow Cap!

Fulham-West Brom (1-1) and Leeds United-Leicester City (1-1) for the Gold!

Good luck my friend, I think you’ve got a good chance with those score predictions. First game kicks off shortly

Now you killed my dreams of catching up to you I have those same predictions already locked. Let's hope they come trough or if they don't than at least I need all 4 teams to score. Have a couple of big bets riding on both to score for tonight's games.

Both games just scream draw to me so maybe I will put another double on that. Should be odds around 10 did not check yet. Or maybe even for both to score and draw which pays much better.

[DeathAngel]

Fulham are winning 2-0 so looks like bad news for both of you guys
I doubt many people predicted Fulham to win, they haven’t won a PL game yet since their promotion, this is a huge 3 points if they can hold on.

Surely this is going to be very big win for Fulham and their fans as they are going to out of relegation zone and have some good chance to staying out of this zone as next round matches are still not good for lower rank teams.

19 out of 48 players in the pool predicted Fulham to win and two people guess the exact correct score.

Fulham-West Brom (1-1) and Leeds United-Leicester City (1-1) for the Gold!

First half is now over and the score is 0 : 2 for Leicester

There will be few scenarios for this as currently jeremy are leading with 16.5 points while Tyki is on the 2nd place with 15 points.

1. If the score stay like this or if Leicester ended up scoring more in the 2nd half, Tyki will get 1 point for correct result but will end up with 16 points and jeremy take the first place

2. If Leeds managed to score 1 goal and it ends with 1 : 2 then Tyki will get 1.5 points and both will tie with 16.5 points. If full time score is 2 : 3 then Tyki will get 3 points for the exact guess

3. Leeds could win this game in the end and both wont get any points thus Jeremy wins with 16.5 points

4. Draw and Jeremy will take another points to secure his top spot

Edit : Congratulations for the Yellow Cap Jeremy


How is the winner determined in case that there are multiple player with same points?

[Harkorede]

Crazy win from Leicester, I indeed expected them to win but not in such fashion and I also back them with some bucks @ 2.90 ML

Looking at the bottom 15 users in the pool for this week, you'll be surprised with most of the names on it 

[leea-1334]

I guess now people will be saying that all the top teams at the early season were lucky for not meeting big opponents so soon, as soon as they met proper Premiership quality teams they lost (Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds). Leicester have done very well as usual after 7 games. Even Spurs my team hehe;)

It takes it into head to head with global scores from leaderboard,,, I think this means you get higher closeness scores I am not sure what this exactly means but if you get more scores that are close, you win.

i had 2:1 in the pool for Fulham, it was expected for them to win, they actually did not played that bad first six matches, to be with just one draw, so this could an overturn for them, but heavy relegation fight season is here for them, that is sure
for other match, it is unbelievable how importance of home pitch is diminished without supporters on the stadium, Leicester won all away matches, and barely win one match at home, and Leeds is also playing better on the side, i did not play bet on this one, but have 2:0 in the pool, since did expected more from Leeds, and somehow think that this home pitch advantage will come back, as teams use to play without audience

[swogerino]

For me this week was the best so far and I was checking the “My results” tab in Superbru and I saw that I have only go up in points from second week and up.This has boosted my confidence and I am looking forward to win sometime soon the yellow cap.
