🐳 Whale.io ⚽ Cross League Goal Madness ⚽ Discussion Thread

[KTChampions]

Bologna have 18 goals in 11 games, the second-best result in the league behind Inter (the other teams are terrible, especially when you look at goal difference), and that's not exactly an appealing statistic. I'm not sure I'd pick them even in a home game against Fiorentina or Verona.
It's sad that Atalanta, which was a consistent source of big scores last season, is now hanging around at the bottom of the table with a disgraceful 13-11 record.

I really hate the downgrade on Atalanta, they put into the trash all the years with Gianpiero Gasperini and hire a shit coach, i cant believe how they went from a super solid and great football team to a mid normal team after fighting for so long to be at the top of the SerieA and being a name in the european competitions.

I don't follow them closely, but it seems like another problem is that they sold off players this summer without adequate replacements. I don't know, maybe the club has financial problems. But the way they've solved it is extremely strange – now they won't qualify for the Champions League and will lose money from the Champions League next season, which I suspect is a significant part of their budget. The Europa League brings in incomparably less money (and, by the way, it's not a guarantee they'll qualify either).

All of us from Croatia saw it coming, we commented it as soon as the news broke out.
Jurić is not a good manager, and especially for a team like Atalanta.

That being said, I think they overachieved by a lot in recent years so it was just a matter of time before they dropped a few positions down the table.
With Jurić it will just happen a little bit faster

We will probably not see them again in this season of the Goal Madness - good for me because they are my bogeyman team.

Yes, i remember talking about this with you before, and i remember pointing out i dont know how he always manage to get good contracts with really big/mediums teams. He is really bad he doesnt have any good campaign at all to show.


The good thing about this week is we are gonna be back, later today or tomorrow im gonna post the new round, stay tuned.

[slaman29]

Wow I have no idea who is Juric and why he is such a scammer other than all Croatians must be mafias.

Tell me in one or two sentences why everybody seems to hate him so much? Surely he cannot be so evil if he can get good contracts with good teams?

While poor guys like Ranieri can win titles and nobody wants him lol

Chelsea vs Burnley looks a lot more attractive than City vs Newcastle  Incidentally, bookmakers are giving City quite a low chance of winning here (2.06 = less than 50%), although on paper Newcastle poses no threat this season, while City, on the contrary, are on the rise. I guess I should bet on City Double Chance to attract fate and end City's good streak, it's time for them to lose

Sorry everyone for messing things up and losing my Whale ID.
Now I secured it well.

Hi guys a new round is up after the super boring international extended break.

ROUND 11 WEEK FROM 21/11 to 24/11 [DEADLINE: START OF CHELSEA GAME ON SATURDAY 22/11].

I cant wait for international matches to finish so I can make mad predictions.
Finally we a have updated list of clubs and I have to try to keep my top place on leaderboard and defend from evil Mafia attacks.
Weather is starting to get colder in many countries and that can affect number of goals score, or maybe not

Chelsea has my pick.
I am brave enough to bet with Manchester City at odds of 1.99 at the moment (2UP.io) while for double chance bets (Draw or Man City) is too low or prefer BTTS yes.
Newcastle is now too bad so there is a possibility that Manchester City can score more than 3 goals.

Chelsea is a better definetly pick, even with Halland-efect and Cities home ground. Newcastle is a dirty, aggressive team that maybe wont let City to play there tip of game, and they definetly like games where they are the under dog then the other way around. So Chelsea it is also for me.

Answers are in, super excited that tonight is all over from the internacional break for 2025  , the playoff only remain and they will be played in March 2026.

Yes this nightmare of international break with low quality games is coming to an end.

Chelsea can be a good point, but Chelsea also failed several times to reach the expected output. Some times they play like they are a solid team who scores a lot and in other games they play like they dont have any idea of what they are doing, and under Maresca coaching they keep making this.

Hi guys a new round is up after the super boring international extended break.

Submitted ! gonna be quite busy on the weekend so I guess it wont hurt submitting abit early although internationals are still ongoing

Lets see how good we do with the new teams like Chelsea who open the round and Manchester City, are they gonna be picked? Lets see it.

Well you dont mention Betis and I think this oddball is gonna get picked for sure   Well atleast for me I did pick them. Gonna trust Antony to score atleast a brace here

Thats a pretty good odds, gonna bet on Manchester City to win there.

Why pick 1 when you can pick both of them ? Lol. Looking at the form Haaland is in right now, it's tough to not think Man City would score 3 or more against Newcastle, and I'll probably fancy them ahead of Chelsea, but who knows, I've not made any decision yet except for the default pick which is Bayern Munich, or are we going to see people start avoiding Bayern ?

Haaland can score 1 or 2 goals agreed but that should be maximum. Newcastle are in shit form now so they will focus to draw or lose narrow on these tough games.

I will copy all of you and choose Chelsea.

So when it goes 0-0 we can go to the drinks together lol

Are you sure about this? Bookmakers are pricing City Total Over 2.5 at 3.45, and I find it hard to call that estimate unreasonable. Even with those odds, I'm reluctant to bet on this outcome. For comparison: Chelsea Total Over 2.5 is quoted at 2.75. Given Burnley's position and status, the risk seems justified.
As for Bayern, the time to play against them has definitely not come - the game against Freiburg, too weak a team to contain Kane and company.

I mean it's tough to go with them when you look the fixture for Real Madrid or Barcelona which looks better, at least on paper, but it's often not always rosy, after picking Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid (if that's the template) you're left with 2 teams, you then have think about which team from Serie A could be worth a punt or which other German league fixture could be a high scoring one, so there is really no failsafe pick to be honest and I remember how instrumental Arsenal was in the first week for me, but since then it's been 1-2 goal score line for them regardless of who their opponent is.

About the Manchester Newcastle game..... is difficult to know what can happen, with this Newcastle you never know, that is mine main doubt.

From the infographic and Google spreadsheet, I see that only two teams are "choice every round" - Bayern and Barcelona. For some reason, people trust Real Madrid much less, even though Real Madrid has a similar performance record. I agree that the final selection is always limited and there are no guarantees. In Serie A, only Inter has scored more than 20 goals, the rest of the teams are laughable (like Roma 1 game = 1 goal = first place  ). England is also modest, in fact, Atlético and Villarreal look better than all the non-top teams in all other leagues.

Yes Rome is a complete garbage im still waiting to see them scoring a lot more under the Gianpiero Gasperini orders, but seems like he is building slow and this season is gonna be the one where he only build the base maybe the next season we can see a new Rome much better than this one and scoring more goals, but until now they are trash.

Villarreal until now is the Cinderella.

Sorry if I'm always agreeing with KT here but this is not a repeat of the last game they had getting trashed 4-0.

It's not so much City can't score 3 goals. It's that Newcastle find themselves in extremely unfamiliar territory now, where a point would be as good as win for them. If City win, it will be tight. I'm even thinking 0-0 is better than over 2.5 City total.

Re Bayern, I've been a Freiburg guy for a while but this season (despite initial better results) I can't for sanity entertain an upset.

[famososMuertos]

:://DAR//:::
Done, R11-sent. Thanks as always for the heads-up. I need a team that scores 9 goals. Maybe I can get one without Bayern, you know,  team similar as of the lucky CR7 with red card. (These are things or analyses that one says after the break in international games, mad things)
