(but yeah it's KTC who sticks to mind a lot).

KTChampions was outstanding last year. I think he had first prize of CL pool, then another significant position in PM pool too. I read in one of the post that he was collecting good prizes from other pools too like Bundesliga. We may feel excited about some users but it really is impossible to predict results as you want. It's purely luck I think. The research and analysis may help a lot but still it's luck.

Yeah, it's definitely luck. I was invincible in the BSFL competition in the first season and now I'm struggling to keep my position in the middle of the table. You can research all you want but with predicting correct results for a football game, luck is the main factor.

So, it seems that this year we will see different kind of Valencia. Win against Atletico 3:0 is serious statement. Not sure about fight for UEFA spots yet, but at least they shouldn't fight to avoid relegation. Offcourse, nobody won't be surprised if they will drop points against underogs.
Now Barca - Betis is in action.

Most of us had totally different prediction in Superbru
Valencia can always beat anyone in the league but they can also lose from anyone, and I dont think they have strength and bench to hold up on top of La Liga to the end.
I think that problem for Atletico Madrid in this match was several injured players, and I think they will catch up Valencia later in the season.
Biggest surprise for me this eason is dead last place for Sevilla with zero points, but can they break this bad run against Las Palmas?

Trying to watch the game but my provider is having problems all day long. I was out until recently and my mobile app was crashing all the time when I tried to keep an eye on PL. Then when I got home things got even worse on TV. Bastards, if this continues tomorrow, I'll pay only half of the bill and start arguing with them   I know I will lose but that will be excuse to switch providers. I don't care how much it costs but I want all the football without interruption whenever I feel like it.

Have both to score in Barca game by the way.

Poor Betis man... completly destroyed by Barcelona, i didnt expect that bad performance from Real Betis, i al so place a 3-0 pick in favour of Barcelona in Superbru and thinked it was a little bit much. But seems like i was wrong on that.

The mayor surprise for me was Valencia win against Atletico, i think our friend Casper its very excited no?

Really did not expect such high victory from Barca and they did it so easy in the end. Betis had some good chances like the one that fell on isco foot but in the end it wasn't enough to win my bet.

I had a 0 - 3 too and when a team score 5 goals then everything goes wrong. In the pool nothing has changed. Everyone got 1 point each.

My understanding about Atletico was they were favorite.

I am disappointed with my performance so far LOL. In fact in La Liga I feel like I am totally stranger, looking at the position in the point table.

[slackovic]

Damn that late goal by Getafe. I had 2-2 (only three of us had that score) and was gonna get 3 points for the exact score but then Maksimović scored a goal in the 86th minute and there goes my points for that game. I'm so bad in predicting scores...

You are not alone. I think we all have our regrets. It's been five rounds and I still am looking for an exact score. Imagine in 50 matches you never got an exact score, you will feel bad. That's me LOL. I am in two other pools. Serie A and Premier League. Not doing well in Premier League too but at least have a few exact scores in both PL and SA.

It's too early to think of anything though so don't lose your hopes.

Thank you! I'm in  I hope I can complete everything before the deadline.


It's sad that Granada - Girona play only tomorrow, I don't like to check the state of affairs in the poll during the tour, I prefer to find out the results in the final form. So when a tour stretches for a day because of one game, it’s annoying.

Quite a funny standings after 5 rounds - after the obvious leaders are Athletic, Girona, Valencia and Rayo Vallecano.

Just look at my card



Zero exact point out for 49 matches. Unbelievable.

LaLiga is not working for me. Experts tips and tricks will be appreciated LOL

Maybe you didn't have any exact scores but you are placed far above me on the table. And I had one or two exact scores in almost all rounds. I guess you had way more close scores than me so you collected more points.  It's not just about getting the exact match, it's about getting as much close spires as you can.

have to admit that Girona form is up since they beat Real at home 4:2 last season, and I don't want to use that, constantly thinking they will melt, but they are staying up, and will probably melt when I start to pick them

Valencia is up since Baraja took over, more than happy about that, and also have win over Real at home last season, at the end

seems that win over Real at home is a game changer for La Liga teams

[slaman29]

Can you believe Barca's last freekick goal before the weekend was from Messi? I'm the happiest guy ever. Still witholding comments on Felix but nice that both Joaos scored

Yeah, it's definitely luck. I was invincible in the BSFL competition in the first season and now I'm struggling to keep my position in the middle of the table. You can research all you want but with predicting correct results for a football game, luck is the main factor.

Yup. I was relegated last year in BSFL and I wasn't trying less hard, it just seemed impossible to win anything. You could score 5 or 6 and still lose or draw at best.

This season also it was a big lucky streak but in my favor. Now I just hope I get lucky one more round to get back in promotion. At least ther research helps. Superbru is true roulette.

And that is why I like the BSFL competition more than pools. In pools you can't come up with ans answer by researching. You can maybe have an idea which team will win but there is no way to know how many goals will there be in a game. It's pure luck. In BSFL luck plays an important part but a lot more depends on the research.

It would be great if we could have more competitions like BSFL.

A similar problem - when I see that a team has begun to play significantly better than its average level, I always don’t know what forecast to make - after all, the randomness of the results increases (a team on the rise can either beat the leaders or lose points with outsiders), so basically I suffer from the fact that I'm not making a bolder prediction. Well, or when I do it, it just happens at the moment when the randomness is realized and the team loses/draws

Point noted for Girona LOL.
My knowledge about these leagues are nearly shit. Have no idea of the teams, how they play. I only depend on the result I see online and make my guess from it. Maybe that's the reason of the bad position on the point table for me.

Anyone have more to say about some other teams or any insights that can help people like me? We can always use tips and helps from people who know the league better than others.

Same. Pools actually not much you can do and random scores win you exact and close points. This season I'm trying more 2-1 scores everywhere and no difference in results lol

BSFL if you research and your opponent does not, you have better chance of "free points" like in picking tennis finalists for example. Still luck like you said but you can win points by research

[el che]

For me neither research nor luck are on my side, started week 1 at the bottom and never got to climb, its so unpredictable and so hard to guess the right score, still early on but have a feeling not much will change for me. I also decided that once i decide on a score i will not make any changes, many times I made a change and ended up getting it wrong while my first pick was the right one, at least i believe i am not the only one with this issue, it feels like the universe likes to be funny with us, there has to be something going on along those lines. Ah well at least I enjoy the fun of it all.

Don't let the bad results from the first few round discourage you. Predicting correct scores is very difficult and much luck is needed to guess the score of a game. I'm too sitting near the bottom of the table, but that's OK. I joined this pool for fun, not for anything serious. Sometimes luck will change and you will get a lot of scores right or close and sometimes you will get most games wrong.
