I see this UCL format giving all clubs many more opportunities than before. I believe that next year will be different, because everyone is prepared differently, but at least everyone is being placed on the same level. You're on to something right there but you can also say that, this new format takes out the seriousness/intensity of the game. I feel it favours clubs that get lucky and they run away with the wins not having to play the club again maybe until later as the they progress in the tournament. Teams not having the opportunity for a revenge will reduced the quality of the champions league as it takes out all the preparation and better football we would had watched for the second leg. More goals and games doesn't make the competition have more quality but it takes out the quality of the competition but UEFA doesn't care as all they want is the bag (more games equals more money to be made). That's exactly what was in their minds when introducing this new format and not them thinking about the quality of the tournament.

I don't see things like that. I think the big clubs have to start from the first round to really give everything in the competition. Before, the first 3 games were usually very weak for the big teams, as they knew they would always be able to come back in the second round. This requires all clubs to start giving their best from the first game. I believe that next season, things will be different and we will see the big teams win practically every game again. Furthermore, we have seen theoretically weaker teams putting up a fight against the big ones. So the question remains: are these big teams really that big? I think if more clubs have more balanced opportunities, we will see other pretagnistas and we will not be limited to 5 or 6 big teams. It may seem strange now, but I believe that perhaps this model could bring some positive changes to football in general, within a few years.

Which is why I didn't even consider betting on Villa -- 4/1 was undervalued. This is a cool team, but they still struggled against Ipswich, and snatched a win from Everton. Watkins alone is what gives them at least 20% more xG. In this case, I certainly agree 17/10 Bayern was high value. Would have bet on them had I not such a low estimation of how much their manager actually influences them.
Maybe Bayern is slowly entering some bad period and crisis. They could not win against Leverkusen and Frankfurt in Bundesliga and they lost against Aston Villa in Champions League. I think this international break will be good for them and some other teams to rest players that are not playing international matches. Lets see if Kane is going to play for England in Nations League or he is injured.

Or it's just the luck of the draw. Bayern arguably entered a period of decline a couple of seasons ago already, no club should survive fully intact after so much backroom drama. I wouldn't count Kane out of anything. He may not be Haaland, but he's as close as it comes to guaranteed appearances and goals as any other striker I can think of. Lewandowski, though, gotta say. I didn't expect his resurgence.

Bayer Munich comes with Vincent Company again to their normal behavior of making ton of goals and destroying every team in front of them, and making sound so many time the "daba daba duuuuuu" song in the stadium.
But like Notblox said, in this alst few matches they went again into a bad performance, and strugled so much against good teams but not powerfull ones.

I believe that next season, things will be different and we will see the big teams win practically every game again. We have to wait until then to see if things changes and goes back to the normal but I don't just like the new format. The weaker teams are putting up a fight because they have something to prove but big teams don't. The new format is a league formats and the big team have other opportunities to climb up the table unlike hen they had to take games .ore serious because they don't have much games to play to get points. Bayer Munich comes with Vincent Company again to their normal behavior of making ton of goals and destroying every team in front of them, and making sound so many time the "daba daba duuuuuu" song in the stadium.
They've run out of juice already, the early shows made us not to see the manager which Vincent really is, we got carried away by the goals but as they've stop coming we'll begin to see the real Vincent and it's going to show that the job was really too big for him. I always thought he wasted lots of goals in games that they weren't needed.. instead of scoring tons of goals, winning with a 1/2 goal margin is alright and keeps the momentum going.

[/quote] Yes, that is true, but i also think Vincent is a very good coach, i see him in Burnley and that team play really good football, a beatifull one to see, the main problem was the results in Premier. About the goals, well yes i agree with you but you know you cant choose when you score.

About the goals, well yes i agree with you but you know you cant choose when you score. I’d agree that Vincent Kompany is a good coach, while there is room for a significant level of improvement and maybe he’s just getting accustomed to what coaching a big club with high level of demand is, he’s played at the grandest of stages but being at the helm of affairs is quite different from being just a faction of 22 players. I don’t agree with the term “wastage of goals”, there’s no such thing imo, even with the best of tactics goals come when they come and when they don’t there is nothing a manager can do about it.

Exactly, but at that point it may already be too late, because the sequence of games may become easier for other clubs (less favorites) and allow them to continue at the top of the table. It is true that it will be very likely that most of those in the top 8 will start to fall in the next few rounds. They will certainly continue in the competition, for the knockout stage. But at least they've already shown different things. Furthermore, from the games I've seen, the quality of the game hasn't dropped that much, despite the suppressions that have appeared.

Longing for club football to return, I have to admit I am really not happy there are so many dusty international breaks.
Already looking forward to seeing Slot’s Reds playing in Germany against Leipzig. Can we win our third game to keep a 100% win rate in this seasons competition?

Definitely Liverpool can win as they are in top form this season, I see them as the main favorites to win Premier League in domestic football there and also I see them as a strong contender to the Champions League title. They need to win as many games as they can with this new format of the Champions League, however they failed me in the over goals where I choose a lot of goals from them, they just got and win pragmatically 2-0 against Bologna last match day of Champions League. I have made up my mind though, now it is all in or nothing regarding Pot B for me while for Pot A I doubt anyone cares a lot about that Pot based on the prizes set up so far.

Does anyone know when it is expected for Harry Kane to come back and recover from his hip injury? There was some rumors about this after the last match against Frankfurt, but it was confirmed after today England vs Greece match. This is not a good news for Bayern that is playing next match in Champions League against Barcelona.

Longing for club football to return, I have to admit I am really not happy there are so many dusty international breaks. I hate the international breaks as well, watching my continent games are always boring to me with games ending with just 1 goal scores and majority are draws. Not that they're playing very great game that you'll say it justified the scoreline but it's mostly boring and still no goals. Club games are the best, better quality and excitement altogether. Does anyone know when it is expected for Harry Kane to come back and recover from his hip injury?
Against Finland is my best bet because that's what the interim manager Carsley said. The injury isn't that serious but they're just taking precautions to not escalate the injury.

Gentlemen, MD3 questions are now live! After the wilderness of internationals, and Nations League football at that, we now return to regular service -- pick of this matchday is Barca - Bayern, quite some reunion for one or two people there Strongkored remains strong at the top, extending his lead a little even with some astute picks... the last matchday was murderous as we saw so many fail to win points, but I have a feeling a lot more people will go for broke (despite it only being MD3 now). Myself included. Remember, links are always in OP, in case you can't find this post. Six days to go, don't wait!

@buwaytress Any player with 0 points won in a single Matchday will incur a 5% penalty to their current Total. When and how does this rule apply? I thought when someone has zero points in a round, but gathered say 10 points the round before, they end up with 9.5 points starting into round 3 so to say. My understanding was that it should keep people from going Harakiri. Strongkored is at 52.00 officially, but has 49.40 after deductions. Since he didn't have a zero round, did the penalty still apply?

I have gone for over 5.5 or over 6.5 goals with each game staking 1 point to them and just 2 points to a game so I am persisting in my way to either climb the leaderboard through these type of results or be rock bottom and don't give a damn as this season I am playing with my all or nothing strategy, last year I came up 5th here or 6th don't remember in Pot B and got quite ahead in Pot A yet in this season I want it all with a super high risk of getting absolutely nothing from such game.
Congrats to all that play and have a clear, very clear strategy regarding Pot B and are sticking in a religious way to it. For Pot A when time comes I will put the picks in place, I wanna see some information first before those picks are in place.

Ah, I forgot to explain, and wondered why no-one asked before. josue_joker already knows about this and we will fix for the next version -- or we can say, it's not a bug, it's a feature The Totals shown are Live totals, and will show you your total score according to the current Matchday score. In this case, everyone is at 0, so everyone has the -5% penalty incurred. As soon as outcomes are settled and you earn points for the MD, this penalty is removed.

Perfectly fine and you know why it is interesting? As you said, you wondered why nobody asked before... I have been wondering since week 1. This is how so many important things in society go wrong. You believe someone would have asked or brought up the issue before me, so why bother doing it yourself. But no! All good, thanks for clarification!

I think I started somewhat well in Pot B last season but it all came crashing down pretty quick after some people were able to get huge rewards for their “all in” picks in some match weeks, I just kept chasing shadows from there on, I believe that’s the first issue that was addressed with the stake limitations for this season. My approach for this season so far isn’t really what I’d settle for going forward, I’m rather just looking before I leap, I’ve not been able to find the best massive odds I can throw 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 stake on.
