This round will be hellfire

Such a hard round to predict,whoever predicts this round the best will have a big impact on the main leaderboard.

Good luck to all in this round.

Very poor start for me I have 4 points from 4 games its not good start first time I change few things on last minute and its gone against me I was sure about 1 - 3 about West Ham but at the end I lock 2 - 2 and Arsenal was also on good but I was with Southampton both now hurting very badly.

I was able to get 5 points yesterday, but I'm currently with zero point from today's matches, I've got Burnley to draw 1 - 1 and Chelsea to win.. Only just two users choose Chelsea to draw and the majority are with the blues, I guess the new coach has played a vital role on that decision ?

Your good time starts now as 52nd minute and Burnley score a goal for draw but in other match Chelsea is still going goalless now we only can hope for few goals from home team for points but look like its going to be very close game even statics heavily backing Chelsea but Wolves are also good in defense.

Turned out that I wasn't getting any point from either match, Chelsea couldn't find the breakthrough and Burnley wouldn't settle for just a draw 

I hope for better luck in the remaining 3 matches.

I just check and still in shock as 30 minutes gone and Sheffield United leading against Manchester United 0 - 1 in pool just one person with Sheffield Unite win and one for Draw all others on Manchester United win so if today Manchester United lost this could be one off biggest upset for this season.

Edit: Manchester United goal dissallowed due to foul.

Like i said this week who gets it right will move on top

Stupid round! Thats all i need to say

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Well, well, well, Man Utd lost to Sheffield United at Old Trafford. I’m not gonna lie but it’s put a smile on my face tonight.

Big game tomorrow, can I expect a win for LFC, finally? Tough one away at Spurs but we’ve got Hendo & Matip fit now so aside from VVD & Gomez it’s the strongest we’ve been for a good while.

[Hhampuz]

How are you guys even able to get points in this round, it's beyond me! Bleh

as i wrote here a few days ago...

...

this is probably true and as with almost every matchday there will be surprises this time too...
the premier league is unpredictable

Yesterday games were 5.I only got a 1.5 close result from Brighton vs Fulham as I predicted a 1-1 draw.This round though will not be the lowest scoring for a yellow cap as I see the first place at already 10.5 points with one more game to play.

[kryptqnick]

sworegino, I feel you. I got 0-0 exactly right in the Brighton vs Fulham game, but that for my only correct pick from yesterday's matches, unfortunately. It really spoiled this round for me, because I had two close picks and one result out of 4 matches that happened on Tuesday. There were quite a few unexpected outcomes this round, especially the unbelievable loss of Manchester United to Sheffield United with only Rifmax from the pool getting a point for the correct result. It's ironic, really, as his profile says he supports Manchester United, and yet he chose Sheffield and was right about it.

[hilariousetc]

Finally paid off going for the draws as there were three yesterday. Got two of them and even the correct scores. Really surprised Man United lost to shitty Sheffield and at old Trafford as well. Man United are playing Arsenal away on Saturday and I don't expect them to win that. Maybe they'll go on a downward spiral now. Thought Chelsea would have beaten Wolves but only narrowly hence the 1-0 score. Maybe they're unsettled changing managers.

Spurs/Liverpool game tonight should be worth a watch. Think I'll go for a draw on that. Don't trust either team to get the job done.

I don't think they'll win, but a draw is looking most likely here. If I had to pick a winner though I'd probably go with Spurs.

Had a great first day of this round, I believe the first time I was the round leader at any point all season:

Sorry for the offtopic, but I think the question is by the way.

I understand that this series began a long time ago, is there any point in joining at this stage? (how realistic is it to catch up with the leader of the table) ... And a parallel question, when will the new series start?

None whatsoever.  You’ll just be burning your money.  

Thanks for the answer, I basically thought so.

The pool starts when EPL 2021/22 season starts.  As to when exactly that is, who knows.  Covid is still, for lack of a better word, fucking everything up.

Your stats too close with my stats in this round hopefully today's match will give some good reward for approaching in top 10 because its first time I am going to touch this one in this season.

Missing a few rounds doesn't matter too much and a few people have joined late before including this year but you won't be in with a chance of winning anything other than the weekly round £50 free bet unless you're somehow a pro gambler or match fixer and can get half the scores right every week. You're still free to join if you wish but at BTC0.0045 the fee is now over £100 to join. If you win two weekly rounds you will break even on the fee but there's very little chance of winning anything else. I run the pools every year and will start the next sign-up process as soon as this season is over so look out for that. The league apparently is scheduled to end on the 23rd of May but I don't know when the next season is scheduled to start. The Euros are meant to be played this year from 11 June – 11 July so I don't know whether that will effect the next league start or if it will even happen right now with covid.

Damn! I almost got it all wrong yesterday too, but thanks to the exact score I got from Leicester vs Everton.

I managed to move up to 5th position on the overall table, but Cygan and Conradicals are at my throat, which is why I desperately need a win from LFC
today, at least I should get to stay there for a few days (my best rank achieved so far)

[buwaytress]

Eh damn me. I celebrated early when Trent smashed that rebound in and then we conceded just two minutes later. Need to sit rest of match quietly. Bobby's goal was well worth it, though, another injury time against Mou. Don't care if Mane's not scoring but creating all these crazy chances.

@TwitchySeal: 5-0 made me jelly. But football has a way of teaching us humility. Or humiliating us. Heh.
