i won the friendly match against Nheer 4-1, and now it's back to round #15, where important points are at stake so that i don't lose touch with the top spots in division 4!
this time, i'm up against Woodie... my team will need to be focused again, and i can't afford to drop any more points – i've just submitted my 10 answers

[slaman29]

Today is going to be super important in the LMS for me,  a Dortmund win and Man City win at halftime would be super helpful towards a guaranteed round.

Congrats to get the Man City halftime win, and congrats for Arsenal blowing away my selection and congrats for the snooker pick. I died at every important step and deserved to go back to my dressing room with 0 points.

Congrats also for getting closer to the top

Tough days ahead for me in BSFL

Defeat accepted

There was more. I don't know whether you watched the Tottenham - Arsenal match, but Tottenham scored the 2-2 and if I am not mistaken, VAR took it back and it sees to have been very close as it took some time. Then when it was 3-1 Arsenal, there was a HUGE chance for Tottenham when in a fraction of a second the goalkeeper had to turn around and grab that ball before it fully turned over the line. Ample of opportunities to come out on top this round, but it is what it is

Yup, I did. That's why I said I was incredibly lucky

I was in a relegation zone not that long ago but am now on 4 wins in a row - all of them narrow ones (+5 GD across 4 wins).
I'd say it's bound to come to an end but it would be bad to lose to the worst team in the league so Jinetics1111 - don't get any hopes up. You're going to be a part of my winning streak as well.

Yes and frankly, it is about luck in all directions.

Look at poor @Jinetics1111, 60 points against him in 13 rounds, which is 4.8 points against him per round. No kidding, that is evil He would have to score five points literally every round to have a chance.

Now as you said, it sometimes comes down to those little margins and your example is pretty good to show this. If you tied the last four rounds instead of winning them by +1 and one time by +2, you'd be in the relegation zone big time!

These little differences actually make big differences. You can more or less read through the table and see how it plays out.

Now the good news is all chances are still there to stay in the league, bad news is that I fear I have to fight for a saving spot against my brother @buwaytress

[leea-1334]

Battle of the bottom teams happening now,,, and I wish the very worst luck to my opponent @buwaytress who will surely think of upsets, so I set my picks to be the same as him except where I think he will make mistakes

DOTA is impossible,,, the table is so close and even anyone who goes to playoff can win,,, so I will trust the legends of the game and leave it to destiny  

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Ohh come on another lose thanks to Arsenal or better to say thanks to Spurs being a complete shit (what a surprise) i was expecting to see Arsenal choking a little bit against Spurs after having so bad games in the latest ones, so i choose the only 1 goal margin.

I just collect so many lose in a row, i need to break this loop before is too late to do so.

[notblox1]

Division 2 - notblox1 (30$ freebet)

Finally a long awaited victory in last round for team notblox1!!!
But situation is far from safe and I am still on 16th place that is guaranteed relegation to third division.
Win in this round would give me more hope but I also need to take care about good goal difference.
What makes it all little easier is another freebet win.

[Jinetics1111]

GG's strongkored I knew it was over midweek but I tried to give myself some breathing to room only to choke with lack of air again, but at least we battle to the end somewhat I knew Canada had no chance and Arsenal well it's Arsenal can you really ever trust these guys I think not, but good luck on your next match bro.

The draw was quite disappointing, especially since I should have gotten a point from Leipzig, who were leading 2-0 but only managed a draw at the end match
However, it was a tight match until the end.
Good luck to you in the next round.

Yeah I can agree on that I would've rather kick your ass to be fair but it didn't go the way neither of us wanted and a draw certainly doesn't help me either, but my destiny this season is already written so it is what it is. Good luck on your next round as well may luck be on your side.

Yup, I did. That's why I said I was incredibly lucky

Bring it on I'm taking no prisoners either all heads will roll this round let's see if we can play spoiler or if the bad luck continues but either way bring your A-game or suffer embarrassment first and second hand 

[Trofo]

Damn, it quite sad that my invisible streak in the LMS have finally come to an end, but I guess my team have not come this far just to come this far, so I definitely will be doing the rebuy this time around...

I don't know, I already consider myself a winner. If I am the only one standing, seems unfair you all got one more chance 

Kidding aside, I just have to repeat this performance in last round and that's it.

[Slissy]

As expected Zhao xintong won the final. but luckily Harkorede and vd309 gotta feel the rebuy pain now😁 If this were the last round in LMS then Trofo would have won.. I think this was his chance and it won't happend again😂

This round I will play against our div 1 leader vd309. This won't be an easy match but I think Team Slissy will win 3 points. But the most important thing is to get a lot of LMS points in this round😁

Don't worry, I didn't overthink. We're on the same points, and close to last place, a win won't really change much, we actually have to hope for the few above us to drop points... here's a free tip, #nolies, I chose the top 2 teams in DOTA right now. The table may change tomorrow though

Now the good news is all chances are still there to stay in the league, bad news is that I fear I have to fight for a saving spot against my brother @buwaytress

Each season seems to feel progressively depressing in terms of performance but hey, as long as at least one of us stays up, we can ensure the diversity of Div1. Can't have all of it mafias and geniuses. Need the goodfellas in there too, no?

[famososMuertos]

Several teams finished on 24 points and fell short of reaching 27; only Paco managed to hit 27 points, and he’s right on my heels. The reality is that, mathematically, there’s still a chance for everyone—especially those mentioned below.

Luckily for me, they didn’t win: goodpunt and LFC_Bitcoin both lost, which was huge, because a win for either would have made things quite complicated. Sorry for the tag—it’s not for any psychological reason, maybe just a nod to those days when we had a sports “newspaper” with the league highlights.

Mitchr4… and wow, Da_Silva sneaks into the Top 3 with a pretentious SD (11). They won their matches against goodpunt and LFC_Bitcoin, so they did their homework, although a draw would’ve been better 😉

This week I have to face vivekdkhyani, another player who’s managed to break into the 24-point group.

[Harkorede]

That was definitely his chance, I don't to want to say I blame myself for not pick Zhao Xintong as the winner to be honest because, I knew I couldn't trust Trump, but I just didn't want to go against the obvious pick of the rest of the pool, at least not in that instance, but I would only blame Inter Milan losing against Bodo/Glimt... Anyways there is no point crying over spilled milk, and I know whatever I contribute to the pot is coming back to me eventually so, I'm not bothered.

This round I will play against our div 1 leader vd309. This won't be an easy match but I think Team Slissy will win 3 points. But the most important thing is to get a lot of LMS points in this round😁

That would be the ideal scenario for me, you taking 3 points off vd309, and probably a draw between cls63 and Trofo, then my ensuring to get all 3 points as well, that'd project me to the top spot while also ensuring I create a decent gap from the 3rd and 4th position.

I checked the draws a bit and I see I am playing against Slissy in Round 16. That one will probably decide our match up. As you said both Slissy and me with though opponents this week so this is your chance.

@Harkorede you have super easy pairings on the paper, hope some of them will play out of their skin to stay in the league and take some points of you as well.

[paco92x]

paco92x 5-2 entebah

Second win in a row for me. A good performance in Round 14 meant that my team managed to pull slightly away from the other competitors. With only three rounds to go, I’m now +3 ahead of third place and -2 behind the leader (who has one match less).
Things look good for now, but we need to deliver another superb performance this week if we want that promotion to Division 2. I need to prepare the team mentally for the upcoming round, so we’re having some mind games 

Thank you, entebah, for a fight to the last breath. I wish you all the luck in the next round.

Answers submitted, I feel confident with my answers even the Cricket one this would normally mean my picks will turn out to be wrong.
Tough game against a player at the very top end of the table.

welovebit - Bitcoin_Budha   2-2

A massive boost in second friendly because I was expecting defeat but at end having draw mean it's going to be amazing for me in this competition new information and many things are coming through thanks Mafia again always appreciate your hard work and efforts for this.

Now going to submit again for another friendly hopefully I will be able to have another positive result which will increase confidence first time cricket question its also interesting because its only sport which I always have in my heart good luck to all for this round.

[CLS63]

Thank you for doing me the favor of taking down the league leader, and bring me much more close to the top of the table, before you start celebrate you might need to take another look at who you next opponent is 

Yes, it was an unintentional favor for you. I was just trying to get past you instead. And after you said that I checked and saw my next opponent as Trofo.

There is still a gap of 3 points between me and him in the standings now. I would like to maintain a win streak of course but let's see. I know you are all asking about my special newspapers but I don't know when those would be back for now.

That's one the advantages of playing all the toughest fixtures early into the season, I remember playing the likes of you, vd and cls all within a short period, and being a able to get something off most of those matches are the benefits I'm getting now, If only I managed to win one or two of those games, I clearly would be out of sight right, but it is what it is, I'll just leave you guy to do the job for me

I'm understand but I'll take it anyway, I don't mind you keeping Trofo's attackers at bay for this round too 

[goodpunt]

OK my last chance to end my losing run and somehow save the season!
It's really not funny to keep losing
Feels like ages ago when I won in an impressive manner against slackovic (sorry to remind you of the loss).
