Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

Another massive surprise I think it was Tottenham losing 3-0 which sums it up pretty well for a Premier League week meaning that not a single result out of these three games came as expected.I know that maybe the Luton game may be a correct result as a draw but I think most likely Luton should have won this game,I don't know why but I feel that to be the correct result.

The Premier League is coming near an end and is more open than ever and I think the result of such teams who barely play for anything,will be repeated as surprise results from the big teams when they will play their remaining games,it can be any team winning this year,be it Liverpool the most likely,then City and then Arsenal for me.

I was thinking before the match that Brentford would win against Burnley comfortably. However just at the beginning of the match Reguilon's causing a penalty and getting a red card changed the story of the match completely.

By the way I think the red card given to Reguilon is quite heavy.

It's a red if there is no real attempt to clear or play the ball. Reguilon's situation falls into this category. But....

What about the new rules that prevent the defending team from receiving double punishment? If you give a penalty, you do not give red. Ederson was not sent off for the foul on Nunez; he received a yellow card and a penalty.

The rules are too complicated and only works for certain club.

When your Kai and Rice get you to a cup final we will talk - another trophyless season for your special squad in the last 20 years. We've never gone trophyless in our best era.

Again celebrating mediocrity. Arteta already won the F.A Cup before he even got any money to spend and is now chasing bigger things and leading the table, while you are celebrating losing to Liverpool for the umpteenth time now in a final.

Stoping our London rivals from winning is the reason we're the most decorated London club. The only London club to have completed football. It's gonna take you lots a century or even more. 

You are in a rivalry with Tottenham?

Isn't the FA cup is what you've been winning since the last two decades? Improvement means winining the league title or an European trophy. You're the one celebrating the Emirate cup and community shields every fuckin season since you became a fan. 

You are in a rivalry with Tottenham?

Our biggest London rivals are Leeds United and Fulham but fuck Tottaham as long as they're in London they must live under our shadows....

Thank you for the reminder. I already made my pick several days back, nothing else to do during the international break.

There were some pretty big matches this break, but we are so deep into the season that several players are just conserving their energies to be 100% for when they return to their club and a couple did not make the travel at all.

Cannot wait for confirmation that Saka, Gabriel and Martinelli will be fit for Sunday.

I want the PL to be back the soon as possible, i hate the international break.

And after a 4 game last round and with weird results more i want the comeback of the PL.

We enter in the last push the last rounds are ahead, fastent your belts.

Ugh. For a second I panicked and thought I had missed the start of the tour 
Thanks for the reminder, but there’s still a whole week ahead, maybe it’s worth waiting for the news (you never know in which direction the odds will move) and making forecasts a little later. I've noticed that when I make "preliminary" forecasts so that I can adjust them later, I never go back to them 

[hilariousandco]

So I decided for simplicity to just go with the same top ten payouts as we did last year:

0.1
0.05
0.04
0.03
0.02
0.015
0.014
0.013
0.012
0.011

= 0.305

What's left after fees will go to the highest overall weekly round (ten match rounds or less are only counted). First place is currently Colorpoll54 who got 23 points all the way back from the first round, so that's who you need to beat. There are 8 rounds left to play.

  

[buwaytress]

That's going to be some sick payout for first place, though even 10th place is going to net some small fortune for the lucky one. 8 rounds left, I'm not sure what to do with strategy so I'll just stick it in like I usually do.

Not related (or is it?) but the recent Liverpool Legends match was some kind of spectacle, apparently. Didn't watch but read plenty of reports. Does make one feel truly old to see and recall every one of the players who showed up for Sven... I completely forget El Zhar ever played for us!

Considering I'm sitting in 3rd overall yeah - seems nice from this point of view. Hopefully I stay there

Regarding the legends game - it was nice to see Torres and Gerrard in action again. But yeah - I'm kinda annoyed to see El Zhar, Gonzalez and co in such games.
Sure, I get it, they wouldn't be able to assemble the team otherwise - but I think El Zhar doesn't have a single goal or assist as a winger for LFC. Gonzalez isn't much better - it just looks too bizarre.

Spearing is at least a meme and a homegrown guy - although funny to see him there as well.

[un_rank]

Payout is looking very, very attractive, although I am a world away from any of the placed positions, I fell of during the holiday season and have not been able to recover for some time.

Here is to dreaming and hoping that the remaining 8 rounds could swing this way. But I will be fine if Arsenal just win the league.

It is just good to have EPL football back after a boring weekend.

Oh last season was Top 20 and I got the 20th placed prize 

I don't deserve to be anywhere near the top 10 this season,.it's been ups and down for me.

No, man we don't want that kind of noise in London now - Klopp should go away with it for the sake of culture. A farewell trophy isn't that bad is it?

Manchester city and Arsenal sharing points this weekend to give Liverpool an inch towards to trophy.

Of course you do not, that is what will make it that much sweeter.

Every match is a final from here on out, both in the league and also in the UCL. I will be okay with a draw at the Etihad, we have not had much love there over the past few years, but who knows what can happen over 90 minutes.

Also Liverpool do not win their match until it is played, who knows what dreams Brighton can put up in Anfield.

Arsenal and Manchester City are both second-half teams- I mean they don't do much in the first half and win most of their games in the second. Both clubs are entering the game with a full roster, no excuses this time.

Brighton? Those lots can't be trusted this season since they're inconsistent and concede goals easily; I doubt they'll be able to limit Liverpool to a point or less

Honestly, if Klopp and Pep left today, Arteta Arsenal would dominate the league. He merits the title for all he has accomplished over the years, but my blood still doesn't like the idea.

Arsenal have scored one of the highest number of goals within the first 15-20 minutes of matches this season. We have been quick out of the block in many of our matches and also stay in it till very late. I do not expect to be that quick this match, maybe a first half draw and then a goal to separate the teams and decide the match.

Brighton? Those lots can't be trusted this season since they're inconsistent and concede goals easily; I doubt they'll be able to limit Liverpool to a point or less

Maybe not Brighton but I will expect one of the title challengers to drop at least a point to an unexpected opponent in the title race. All the focus is in the big clashes, but when you are in a match you are expected to win and go the first 20-30 minutes without a goal, you start to panic and who knows what can happen from there.

Honestly, if Klopp and Pep left today, Arteta Arsenal would dominate the league. He merits the title for all he has accomplished over the years, but my blood still doesn't like the idea.

When there is a vacancy, someone always comes in to fill it. I will expect a manager or two to rise to the occasion and keep the league entertaining.

[swogerino]

I also think that Brighton does not stand a chance against a Liverpool fighting hard to win the title this season and in fact I think exactly because Brighton concedes goals easily this season to be a very easy target for Liverpool.If Liverpool happens to be in a good day then most likely a tennis result can very much happen.For betting though the best would be an over 3.5 goals or both teams to score as I doubt Liverpool will have a good odd for this game.

There would be fair competition among the top six, like it was before Pep came in and dominated. No manager dominates the league like Pep does.

For betting though the best would be an over 3.5 goals or both teams to score as I doubt Liverpool will have a good odd for this game.

Over 3.5 goals is 1.90 odds and Liverpool -1 handicap is 1.90 are good bet builder markets.

I like your this bet builder, but usually we have some problematic games after international breaks, so things can go tight for this game as well with having over 3.5 is risky even I am sure we will have -1 for the Liverpool is much better option in this game with btts is also good which can make odds better for the bet builder.
In Manchester City vs Arsenal game it's also good bet btts because here I am also having feeling we will have draw in this game or close win for the Citizens which will also allow to Liverpool for the jumping at the top of league table.
