Strange enough I saw a yelllow cap next to my name in the Superbru app.Does that mean that so far I have the most point scored as I saw 3 exact and 1 close from the 8 games played.If that’s the case I am hopeful that I will continue to get it even after the two games of today as I don’t predict any surprise tonight,I see an Aston Villa and Manchester United win.

Okay so I need to retract my statement because I am doing so bad this week. I am now one of the candidate for the next wooden spoon, along with 5 others that still has 0 points for now lol. This is probably my worst week so far

Damn, I am good, I managed to earn one full point so far, thanks to Leeds winning it. I was very close with 1:1 in Liverpool march but it was not meant to be. Not sorry about that one though, I am very glad Liverpool won the match since I hate what Mourinho has been doing with Spurs. Yes he has results and maybe that is enough for Spurs fans but they have now become unwatchable for me, same as Atletico Madrid.

[cryptofrka]

I finally have a decent round, got 7 points, since some results were really crazy I expected to be challenging for the yellow cap. No way though, 2 guys already have 10 points - they both got 4 games correctly but 3 with exact results.

I had Wolves - Chelsea as 1-1 so losing that in the 95th minute was tough to take. But then again, Bobby brought 3 points yesterday with a goal in the 92nd.

Well, at least I finally crawled out of the relegation zone I guess. Baby steps..

No worry

I was so close to get the exact score prediction for Liverpool vs Tottenham but the last minute goal ruined it for me. Unless Aston Villa and Manchester United ended winning tomorrow, I might have 0 points for this round. Dang there goes my 2nd position and bigger points gap to get the 1st position

I'm the opposite this week and am gunning for the yellow cap with three correct scores yesterday. Only two games left this round and swogerino is above me by only 0.5 points. Man United should easily win tonight but the question is by how much? They should slaughter them as Sheffield have only one point from all season but I still don't have faith in United so I'm not sure if they will win by a big margin, even though they should. Will be interesting to watch either way. If United don't get the full three points from this Ollie will be on slippery ground again. Villa/Burnley is hard to call. Home win or draw I have to deicide between.

You're top right now by half a point but they don't normally assign yellow caps until the round is complete. Mole still has it from my view.

Yes, I currently still have the cap on. And so it remains until the round is completely played.
I have already resigned myself to pass it on or maybe never to have it again

It is going to be tough then for only 0.5 points I don’t think is easy to keep the advantage for the round.I also see it on mole0815 in the standings so I guess is changed after the round ends.I think you will go for a draw in Villa Burnley in the end and this game will be the decider for the yellow cap this week.

Here is mine,


I was 4th on the leader-board and now down to 7th. Nothing is working for me in the last two rounds. Whatever I pick it turns out against me.

I pick 2 - 1 for home team to win but home team lose by 1 - 2 and vice versa.
I pick 1 - 0 for home team to win but home team lose by 0 - 1 and vice versa.
I pick 0 - 2 for the away team to win but match result is 1 - 1.

Always losing by close margin. Sometimes I feel I should start betting on exact number of goals market. The odds will be huge.

Yes, well done to you. I switched to Liverpool win, so I got some points,,, I thought maybe destiny would trick me and let Spurs win. It was nice being at the top for a while,,, but you guys deserved it. Southampton even enjoyed being top for a few minutes:)

I dropped down and so hard to get up but tomahawk manages to keep 10 points there, simply amazing.

Feel bad for you (but not really;) ). I started this pool pretty much in a bad way but slowly making my way up with some good results going my way.

Climbed 2 spots to just below our captain hilarious but I'm happy:) Did we all lose money on Southampton last night?

Last few rounds was really stranger for me and many others because we have too many shocking results from many teams even this is happening not only in EPL this trend is working around all european soccer leagues too many teams with very poor results but I am hoping for good results from start of next year.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

It seems that most of us are gonna choose United to win tonight but let me remind you folks that last year when United played on Sheffield pitch , they barely made 3-3 as they should've lost that game on more than 2 goals difference.

This year is slightly different because Sheffield are in the worse shape of the last years but United is not doing good aswell so we might have a tight game with a victory for United at only 1 goal...

The way this weeked has progressed for me, if you are right in your analysis then I would not wonder since I have Utd to win. This is what I got so far from the round.



I am consistent in losing my position on the leader-board too. I think one fact is very clear, when there are too many unexpected results, I suck.

The reason for me not to pick Sheffs are their very low class performance so far in the League. They were a better team in the last season but somehow they lost their way.

[LTU_btc]

At least I'm not the only one who perform terrible this round. 0 points so far with 1 game remaining - it's worst performance I ever had. Sheffield just scored and probably it means that I'm going to end without points this round.

What's the point only allowing four clubs. Only can possibly give them an unfair advantage, but at only 2000 fans allowed back I doubt it would make a difference but at the same time with so few fans allowed back why even bother, especially when it's not going to be fair.

Initially there were more clubs, but because of new restrictions, mainly in London there is only 4 clubs left.
And I don't think that having fans in stadiums now can be called as unfair advantage.
And despite that only 2000 fans allowed, it already makes difference. Especially in small stadiums like Fulham or where all fans were in same stand like in Anfield. Even 2000 fans is better than artificial sounds from FIFA.

You and me on same boat so hopefully now we will have exact result from this match and full 3 points as right now 42nd minute and Manchester United is leading by 1 - 2 now just one goal in second half its enough for some honor in thir round.

[Trofo]

It is very good that they now allow 2000 fans on the stands. They can already make a nice atmosphere. I was listing to "Yuo'll never walk alone" last week and I got goose bumps even in front my PC. Definitely much better than artificial sounds.

It is quite unfair that only 4 clubs can have those 2000 supporters at the moment. It would be much more fair if it was whole league or nobody.

I'd agree with Trofo on this, it's better everybody or nobody. As that gives quite an unfair advantage to the home teams, it's hard a enough travelling away from, but your opponents having some form of motivation is another thing.

Manchester United winning would ensure I wouldn't be eligible up for the wooden spoon this week, that at least is something to jeer about

Really slow start to the season but I am coming now ——->

Why wouldn't it be an advantage? It's certainly not going to be a disadvantage. They shouldn't have allowed them back unless everyone can have them as it's only going to be a positive for the home team if anything.

I'm not sure who got the yellow cap this week. Both are tied yet it's showing both conradicals and swogerino has the yellow cap on the leader board but not on the weekly round results:



Unless maybe it's cut off for conradicals. I thought they gave it to the person who had the most exact scores or something, which seems to be swogerino, though conradicals is officially top on the round results.

[arallmuus]

Conradicals should has the yellow cap. In case of tie , it will be based on higher win points so in this case it will be conradicals with 6 because swogerino only has 5 so conradicals wins this round

Tie-breaking

In the event of points ties on a pool leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then higher MP total, then lower TDM. If scores are still tied after these criteria are applied, the players are adjudged to be tied. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins.

Whats funny is Janprix, igniter and me share the same 1 point from this round and the three of us got that point from Manchester United but only Janprix ended up getting the wooden spoon instead . So this is my worst round so far with only 1 point out of 10 matches

I think that is Conradicals for this week so congrats to him.However my opinion on this since the Yellow Cap is awarded each week in case of a tie most exact scores for the round should be considered first as these are the most difficult results to find.

I took 1.5 point on Manchester and skipped the spoon with 1.5 point in the round, it is a worst round for me as well, but could not say that I have not had similar round this season, some teams I cannot catch this season, and that surprising, especially for my team Everton, I think that I did not predict any good score on them this season
there are few others, but Everton is a team that I am following most, and it is really surprising to see the score

the only one that I could say I am fine with results is United, others are playing hot and cold season
