^^ Wrong underdog pick, eh Slam? I had a few nice ones last season but I'm going to look purely at odds in this league (if I do place bets). Think I'm getting more and more out of touch now, saw a few names pop up on Serie A games and had no idea they were there. If Napoli do get Hojlund and turn him into McTominay v2 then we'll all know almost for certain that some players simply excel where play is much less intense (Italy) or that United just don't know what they're doing.

I had some fun with the Pick'ems, thanks for the reminder Trofo.

Thank you for the tag somehow I saw the old tags but I skipped reading I just realized it was about a new promo rather than the Serie A pool lol

Anyway, already sent my name. Hopefully the freebet comes on time for league games. I got the BSFL freebets but they expire so fast I have to pick rando tennis and cup games.

Yup lol. This time I picked 4 underdogs with the BSFL $40 freebets and I hit 1. No complaints there, as long as 1 hit it was what I was expecting.

I didn't really notice it until now — Como demolished Lazio in the first gameweek with a 2–0 win. That’s a serious statement from the big spenders of this transfer season, Como. Nico Paz already has a goal and an assist in the first game, and it looks like Como could go far this season.

It's refreshing to see a team not struggling in their second season in the top flight, because that’s usually the case.

Majesctic move from Nico Paz in the goal, how he took out the defender and the pass was world class.

He is a real good player when he come here with our national team i see something on him, he touch a few balls but you see quality on them, he return the ball always good to the feet, and he flows like water with Messi, for something Real Madrid rejected a buy from Chelsea and they are gonna rebuy him after this season.

I just made picks for next round on Superbru, If I didn't do it right now I'd probably completely forget to do it tomorrow.

Pretty disappointed by my performance last round, but that was expected as I accidently switched results of two games, but at least I avoided wooden spoon award Hope this round will be better.

This pool is now closed. There is 25 of us in it which is more than La Liga for first time ever

There is a new escrow address for the pool where I consolidated the inputs. This was done to save on tx fees and separate all the pools I a running.

Well done captain and thanks to everyone for growing the pool. Who are the new people here, maybe we should force introductions

I'm a La Liga fan from before but if you wanna be objective, Serie A deserves the title of most interesting league in the top leagues, by nature of that in past 6 seasons there are 4 different winners, and if you look at top 3 it is even crazier you will see teams like Lazio and Atalanta. Spain is always 2 teams, maybe sometimes Atleti. Germany is always Bayern sometimes someone else. England is always City, sometimes someone else.

Good game @darxiaomi you are showing muscles here at last!!

Thank you J.

Well iwas not expecting to win two round in a row and less in this pool, i hope to keep this pace until the end.

Good game @darxiaomi you are showing muscles here at last!!

Thank you slaman, as i said i was not expecting to win again a round. And less in this pool and less when in all the other pools im being a total failure until now, lets see if i can recover after the international break.

Take every win with joy and like the song says, I don't wanna act too high and mighty. Cause tomorrow i may fall down on my face. I always say this to myself the minute I feel a bit good about myself and BSFL and forum pools are a perfect reminder of it lol

Serie A is still younger than other pools anyway so a lead now is a good step in being dominating

Just don't trust Milan teams yet

[buwaytress]

Loving how Italy is showing everyone else how to put a ball in the net. Crazy to think they didn't appear in the World Cup since 2014... surely they make it now yeah? Just as long as they don't force themselves to playoffs again. But redemption has to be on the cards with the way Italian football has been rejuvenated the past few seasons. The dawn of the new calcio, hey, why not.

That said, is anyone ready for Juventus 0-0 this weekend? You heard it here first. Or is that how I trick you all? Yes, yes, why not?

I liked that according to the Israeli players, the Italians were cursing them the whole game  With Gattuso they have passion!

Juventus - Inter draw? Sounds like a plan, but I have little faith in it because then Napoli will be too far ahead (too good to be true). I think it will be 0-1 in favor of Inter, but if not then you can safely bet on Fiorentina - Napoli Fiorentina double chance. Everything is scripted  It is very fortunate that the second game will begin immediately after the result of the first is known.

[darxiaomi]

I dont want to lose my healthy habit that im having this season, and that habit is winning the rounds back to back.

So i hope this international break doesnt change the things for me.

We have a very difficult round ahead, Juventus against Inter and  Fiorentina against Napoli from there the contenders are gonna show muscle.

Filled in answers for this round on Superbru, didn't lock them this time, so there's more space for reworks later

Thinking about locking them later in day or two though, just to compare answers to better performing players ...

One little advice, i never lock my picks but i also 99% never change a pick the few times i did i regret it, i only can do it when for example a key player get injured if not dont touch it.

Good luck.

I'm here to talk about Hojlund, who already has a great start at Napoli. Conte's the right guy to fix a broken player too methinks (at least for the first season) so maybe he joins McTomi in Naples folklore.

Also need to really respect one of the players I've liked since his Spurs days (sadly I also liked Bale from there heh)... the way he can still press and run (yeah, Serie A but still) makes me think a bit better of my prospects haha. Strange to think he was ridiculed when he first arrived in Spain. Live long, long live!

It is Manchester United curse, every player that leaves that team gets new wind under his sales and significantly improves the club where he arrives. I really can't pin point what is the problem with United since they are buying good players who play like shit for them and then become good once again when the leave. If they manage to destroy Cunha and Mbuemo....

What a game between Juve and Inter, few more like this and maybe I will start watching Serie A once again.

[cryptofrka]

It's also a much weaker league. Hojlund is a mediocre player, there's honestly no doubt about that.

The only thing that I do not understand is how do players like him, Nunez, Jackson.. keep their value? All of them combined shouldn't be worth 50 mil EUR, why do other clubs still take them?

They can take a punt on a similar player for a lower fee, on much lower wages - and also hope that the player improves. These fellas won't improve one inch and are truly not good enough.

Congrats to Slissy winning the Round 3 Yellow Cap
