📯2026/27 Champions League Pool | ⚽️ Discussion

[execijutiere]

Hey buddy, saw you stopped playing our pools and exited our channel. You're still posting here, is there any reason for that? Don't mind conversing with you at all (if indeed you are conversing), just curious.

I'm not as good at making predictions as I used to be, so I left.
If there's any problem with me posting here, I won't post anymore—no problem, buddy.

Boring results so far,,, come on Sabah you can do it, make us believe in Football Magic again!

No way that we are going to lose against Sabah on our UCL come back !  

Speaking of boring results, I actually nailed all the score prediction so far 12 out 12 with 4 of them being exact scores. This is probably one of the best start I've had on this pool and it would be so much better if I dont get the penalty

Totally zero football magic in this first round, which for me is a bit unexpected since we saw lot of upsets in the previous season early group.

You did really well,,, very good picks. Best start ever and well done to you. Me, I totally got murdered and even got a penalty, usually I feel ok every season to get these penalties but to get 1 right at the start oh well!

First participation in the UCL pool started out great with 40.5 points. I was sure that I made something wrong with the stakes in the beginning, but it turned out great, and it is nicely explained in this discussion—so I found out later after MD1 had already started, but no harm done luckily .

An excellent result, it’s a fairly long tournament, so the most important thing is to avoid penalties and show consistency. I also racked up a decent number of points and was actually pleased... right up until the moment I realized, dammit, that because of the Nations League, the next round wouldn't be until closer to mid-October  Damn, I love the Nations League during the playoffs, but all those qualifiers (including the Euros and World Cup) right in the middle of the season just kill the vibe.
I wonder if tournaments will ever switch to more exciting formats, like double (or triple) elimination or the Swiss system?

Great work darxiaomi for winning most points in first round! 
Believe it or not I am just now looking at the leaderboard after first round of Champions League pool, and results are not that bad since I am on 12th place in front of Mafia and Snake.
I could have much more points, but I made mistakes in placing my points, and I had stupid trust that Bodoe/Glimt will score against mighty Bayenr.

But shall I also say congratulations to darxiaomi for the 50 point haul (well, el che too for that matter)? Are we seeing Argentinian aggression winning this pool? I got... the lowest score of those of us who didn't get penalties, so I must find a way back into the tournament.

Wait a minute.... i win a round here? I wasnt expecting that and i dont know why i forget to check it and also i didnt receive the first tag from buway, or maybe i miss it.

Well is crazy man, from one side im happy and for the other.... come on man it looks like a bad joke, i win a round in this contest for the first time and is not reward for the first time ever hahahahah 

Thanks both of you for your words.


One last thing, in Firefox i cant see the leaderboard but in chrome it works, maybe is some cookie or cache but just to let joker know.

I will try to review this situation in the coming days.

Sometimes, even with everything working in all browsers, it's not easy.

I probably didn't spell your name right or just used "dar", so add that to your notification list I'm one here too to do that -- people use my name in various forms and I sometimes see it very late as I only have my full name on notify.

Sorry about the lack of rewards. I might do something on my own for a highest round at the end, but you guys have to let me win first.

This leaderboard thing is so weird, only started the display problems with some browsers this season!

I just finished making some layout adjustments. I believe things are better now.

For those who had trouble with the leaderboard, please check again to see if it remains the same. Thank you.

I am only checking from my mobile phone now and everything looks exactly the same. Maybe I should logout and clear the cache but won"t do it on my phone. When I get back home I will check from my PC and see if everything is still the same, in there I can clear cache or use other browsers as I am to lazy to change the status of my phone as it took me sometime to customize it like I want it to be. Nevertheless it is good as it is the layout.

[buwaytress]

Thanks for the adjustments josue! I was never able to recreate the bugs on my devices/browsers, so I won't know if they're fixed =)

Forgot to reply here, glad to know you're doing all right. I was asking out of concern, as you now know. Free forum (heh), please feel welcome here any time.

Yeah, I also realized that we now have a month-long pause from the Champions League. I really hate this whole Nations League thing—I was against it from the beginning, and I'm not sure if I'll ever be fine with it. The transfer window ends, you can't wait for the top leagues to start (Premier League, UCL, Bundesliga...), and then it hits you right in the face: a Nations League break. Terrible.

I'll never be fine with it. No matter what they do. But yes, I was mildly panicjed when I woke up today and got alerts from dumbass Livescores that Champions League games start today, thinking I somehow made a mistake with GW2, only to realise they were all women's.

P.S. Apparently we'll have fewer international breaks this season? One after GW5 another GW10, and then only once more in March. I like this!

[buwaytress]

Who's ready for Champions League? Believe it or not, quite limited markets on some of the fixtures so I'll probably only put up the next questions Friday earliest but the weekend is more likely. Really not liking the shorter and shorter timeframes for full markets but I suppose books are all governed by risk management software now.

PSG City the pick of the crop... or are they now?

The agony that is called the Nations League / international break after an all-time high duration is finally over, and I can't believe that I managed to survive without good quality football . UCL, my beauty, you have finally appeared, and I also can't wait for Arsenal vs. Leeds to start on Saturday. Popcorn and a few beers for warm-up.

No no, Sabah vs. Slavia is crème de la crème this week .

[Uhwuchukwu53]

The long awaiting break is almost over RC lens to battle with sporting, though it's hard to endure the break period without watching and booking interested game like that which is been played in this league, the both team to kick start on Tuesday is almost in equilibrium in strength the game won't be easy to get rightful prediction, this long break has help in a way to control one gambling I think it's a gambling control strategy for me as I prefer my gambling league of nature mostly than country local matches. Focusing on the upcoming sporting may have better advantage of wining if the put more efforts but if they relent where RC Lens score them first they might struggle for draw.

Sabah did play well in their first game despite losing to Sparta Prague I believe if I recall it correctly. It is true that the nations league did not produce any good game compared to what we see in World Cup matches for example yet yesterday the first goal of Albania with a brilliant hit outside the zone was beautiful no matter that it was against San Marino. Now the real action is back in Champions and also Europa and Conference League next week so plenty of events to bet on.

Glory Hallelujah  I do not know how people feel about it but I really really felt the extra week or rather I am still feeling it, did not watch a single match and somehow stayed away from all the news since there is nothing good about my team.

Champions League please show us what we missed, this is the one week I feel really up for staying up late. Give me Sabah all the time instead of England please  Time to stamp my foot down on this Leaderboard, how did I start this season bottom I will never accept!

After these idiotic tournament changes, when you switch from national championships/Champions League to national team games and back, I get the feeling that I missed the train or left the house having forgotten something. Absolutely disgusting  But thank God we made it through another pause (next at november uh ).
Is anyone looking forward to the "oil derby" between City and PSG? I’m betting City will win easily, damn PSG always burns through their quota of losses early in the season just to win it all at the end - it’s unlikely they’ll deviate from that plan this time.

[buwaytress]

Questions for MD2 are up! I wish I could do more markets but as I might not be free on the weekend, we'll have to stick to the goal totals and BTTS 1x2 for now. It's still fun that way, isn't it?

Matchday 2 Open for Submissions!

I'm going for the dreamer's bet. Liverpool win, then City win. The Prem League tie for pool is priced badly, in my opinion, as markets think City will lie down after the verdict, so it's actually poor value but I have some balance to burn or double.
