What I noticed in BSFL in the divisions 3 especially a lot of people got very high points for making quite crazy picks. Picks I never make, which definitely makes me think sometimes that research can harm your chances, especially when dealing with teams like Atletico.

I need to start making more crazy predictions, but whenever I attempted to look for surprise result I failed in La Liga  
This was one of the worst weeks for my predictions and I need to change my tactics somehow.
I think I had better results when I made random predictions with thinking anything.

Same here lol. I mean, who the hell can predict 4 zero to Real when playing what was one of the best teams in the league right? Or Cadiz clean sheet versus Atletico? I have to start checking the past results of our current topper, to see how he made his picks, so consistent.

I think it's just luck and that's really true. I feel super frustrated in Superbru pools, somehow I don't feel it so much in Champions League Pot B because there you know you picked the crazy result and didn't win, unlike the pools where you're just doing your best and can't do anything about getting EXACT scores.

one more to close the round, and Almeria is facing Sevilla to get first win
I am on it again, they have to win it sometime, don't they
spoiler, of course they don't need to win anything this season

nevertheless, tonight could be a game to win, Sevilla is decent showtime team, that can play badly, Almeria improved their defense a lot, so anything can happen
if just Cadiz didn't make enough surprise for this round, but they did

edit: Almeria took the lead, it is 1:0 going into second half

This round was a disaster!!
Another ruined prediction for me in stoppage time for 2:2 final result, and I had 1:2 for Sevilla 
I need a miracle to move from the bottom positions, and I think I need to pay someone to teach me more about La Liga.

Congrats to leea-1334 for winning the Round 28 Yellow Cap

Congrats leea!

This guy is one of the stealth participants. He won last season, doing well in BSFL every season, and I see he is popping up quietly in Serie A. Same like Mahdirakib in Champions League pool, Omifikuse in PL pool, jeremypwr in this pool 25 POINTS gap!!

Tonight is Barca, guys! Our only hope of redemption this bad season 5am game for me so I guess I'm not sleeping!

[slaman29]

Finally Real Sociedad get a win, and ALL of us predicted it correctly but TWELVE of you people got it exact. Was 2-0 the most likely scoreline on odds or are you all just crazy good at this lol

Anyway, both Girona and Real Madrid are playing away. I'm tempted to chase some losses by playing Double Chance for both home teams, I have a feeling it will be one of them who throws away points today. No Bellingham, remember.

Sevilla lost a game at home, after some good scores lately, just to confirm that they are shitty team

Almeria is up against Las Palmas, can this be a week for first win?
we are currently in a goalless draw against Villareal, Mamardashvili saved a penalty kick from Villareal, so good to battle some points in second half

Almeria first win had to be much earlier than 29th round, they had so little luck in some lost games. Despite this win, it's difficult to imagine scenario how they can save spot in La Liga.
Celta Vigo sacked Rafa Benitez this week and with win today they get more far away from relegation zone. Sevilla is shitty indeed this season and I'm just burning my bets on La Liga today.
Next is Atletico - Barca, both teams is in great mood after reaching 1/4 final in CL, should be good game.

That was what I was thinking and then I checked H2H and seen that last 4 games between them had very little goals. 1:0 for Barcelona seems like usual result, let's see if Atletico has what it takes to change that.

Hopefully will be able to catch second half.

Yes they are shit, they messed up my ticket and I had them with asian handicap 0, they could not even hold a draw against poor Celta with many missing players.
Almeria also surprised me with away win against Las Palmas, and Atlerico Madrid was probably still in clouds because of Champions League so they lost from Barca.
I need to take lessons for La Liga, each week I am having poor results and at this point I only want to escape from the botom.

It was a bit opposite from your prediction - 3:0 Barca win that let me to win over 2.5 goals bet. First Atletico loss at home this season and it sounds a bit unexpected but Xavi won all his games against Atletico.
International break comes at worst possible time for Barca.

What a shame about casperBGD I'm still missing his name everywhere, hope you come back bro.

Anyway, La Liga so quiet while other leagues creating drama, the only 'news' coming out is about La Liga gonna do one match in US, as proposed by Prez Tebas. I always thought before these protests from fans would never see them materialize but now I know better as an adult, I think it's just a matter of time.

Super League also coming. It's gonna be over for us all oldies.

[leea-1334]

Hey is it possible, can I check about yellow cap freebets? They usually go on Monday right? I did not see it on last Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And not today as well,,, the reason I ask is I am not able to check until Sunday but if it comes after tomorrow,,, it expires and I will miss it

[jeremypwr]

Hey leea-1334,

Kindly check your PM

Looks less and less like Alonso will be coming to Liverpool. I could be surprised, maybe he is as classy as he is rumoured to be and simply just doesn't want to generate any drama until his hands are firmly clasped around trophies with Leverkusen, but I have a strong feeling he's not ready yet for his first love, and wants to return here, to La Liga, where Sociedad broke his heart and Real's icy cold grip wants a share of his mind.

Yep, I'm ready for La Liga. And everything else, really. Can't stand internationals.

Actually, we should say that he was only managing Sociedad B here, so it's not like he was fired from Sociedad He left on his own but yes, his team finished and got relegated from Segunda so it was on a bad note but not forget he promoted them first!!

I remember after this Alonso was approached to take manager job in Marseille the owner said he was turned down so nicely he felt happy lol

So in this case, Alonso goes where he wants, no one can tempt him to change his mind.

Right you are, right you are. I guess I remember things differently (or inaccurately) -- if not for that he's a former Red, I may never have followed his developments post Liverpool. And if not for his Liverpool connection, I don't think he'd even be in the run for the gaffer's job now. Still think we're on his list, but not top of his list. I'm completely okay with that, I trust in the Edwards process, rather than in the volatile hyping of managers (not that I don't admire Xabi).
