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

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Stuttgart again wasn't in the picks, was it? And they helped make history in Bundesliga last night (8 goals in first half in the game, then 0 in the next haha).

I know there's a point in selecting from only a small pool of teams, but I wonder if there's an easier way to let us pick any team we want, if we do this again next season? One has to not ignore Stuttgart's intense ability to score, without being in the top half of the league. They've score 3+ goals in half of their last 10, and even had 5 goals in their CL game (okay yes they were shit all the way before that but!).

I know i know we dont have round this weekend, and i know this post is a little bit old, but somehow you manage to jinx Sttugart 

Today when i check the results across the games that were played, i see Sttugart with a 0 in their account and i remember your message.

Thankfully or maybe sadly nobody fall in this since they are not into the teams to pick plus we dont have round this time.

Guys we are finally back. So start your engines and start to make your picks for the last 3 rounds of this competition.

ROUND 28 WEEK FROM 02/05 to 05/05 [DEADLINE: START OF THE ATLETICO MADRID GAME ON 03/05]

A lot of expectation for this round since we are close to the final and is gonna start to settle the positions at top.

Good luck to everyone.

Sorry KTC, you have to bow before me, I don't even need to try hard and you're all just letting me sweep the wooden awards.

Re the pool expansion, I think yeah, we have to find a way to either increase variability by increasing the pick selections, or to increase motivation for variability, perhaps by a small multiplier. Kind of the way Fantasy gives bonus points for Assistant Manager when they perform against a team 5 league positions higher than them?

Don't mind me though, I speak from the perspective of the shittiest player in this comp

  In the last rounds I will go all-in so that I will have a chance to get around you.

As for the format of the competition, yes, new ideas are needed. Unfortunately, I can say that Pot B of the Champions League has already been "calculated", I think that by the end of the season the result will be obvious and the next season will be less fun. But perhaps this is inevitable, since there is always an optimal strategy and if the participants want to win, then everyone adheres to it.

Guys we are finally back. So start your engines and start to make your picks for the last 3 rounds of this competition.

Cool but I guess I going to skip Bundesliga's team on this round. They barely got anything to play for as well as some top teams that have confirmed their spots as the champions. This is going to be tricky though, unexpected teams might score 3+ goals on this last 3 rounds and we just gotta need to spot those teams

Top 1 and 2 are probably going to be either saint-loup or cryptofrka but kinda wonder if any of the current 3rd and 4th spot teams will slip until the very last round

[cryptofrka]

Again tough round to pick from, those that don't have anything to play for are usually great picks.

Was tempted to go with Liverpool away to Chelsea, the whole team will work for one thing only now - Salah's goals and assists. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Chelsea won that one 6-4.

[darxiaomi]

Im gonna be super honestly, i didnt check anything yet hahaha, so when i check im gonna be able to comment here if it was hard or not.

But i dont worry so much because as i said ealy im gonna have to risk anyway, my main question is, how many risky picks in this round, one, two or more?

I feel like in the last hands of poker tournaments when you need to go all in no matter what because your stacks of chips is becoming lower and lower.

So thursday and only a few player already submited the answers, so im gonna retag the ones who didnt submit yet.

Its not so much to wait for guys. I know Bilbao and Chelsea plays today for their respective european matches, but i dont think that changes so much.

I just made my picks and honestly I thought this round was going to be a dull one. The optimal pick is quite simple: 3 teams from La Liga + 2 from Serie A and there are no good alternatives. City would be an interesting pick, but they are not in the pool of teams. Maybe the round will be saved by the fact that fans of betting on Bayern will continue to do so and there will be at least some diversification.

[darxiaomi]

Europa League and Conference matches are over so we dont have any game left from european competitions in the middle. Also Forest played his remaining game from the past round on Premier League so we have all setled.
Nothing to wait for, courtesy retag to the people who didnt submit yet.

Now i understand what you mean, i made my picks and fuck yes, it was all redirect into a few teams and i pick them, but jsut before click send i said to myself " wait a minute you need to risk you cant still pick the same as other players are gonna pick for sure" so i change it to a more risky play.

Yeah, I wanted to take a bigger risk too, but honestly I was tired (from Real's losses haha) and decided that betting against the Bundesliga as a whole (which seems to have the most goals on average?) and betting against Bayern (which should be the official champions in this round) would be enough of a risk. In fact, I simply justified my laziness to myself

Well but in Bundesliga we dont have "easy" games they play against each other and you know this can end or super good or super bad, the most easy picks were Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter if i dont remember bad, but some of them also plays in Champions League so you dont know how much are they gonna save for the european games. Well lets see when we can see all the picks made how much dispersion we have.

Guys sadly one player miss the round and was one of the ones who is fighting for paid positions. I hope LTU is ok and only was distracted with life things.

Since the deadline has pased as always i share with you the stats with the selected teams.



Barcelona as most selected is what we can expect.

I want to pick Villarreal but i ended up changing them, and was a mistake.

[KTChampions]

Fucking Atletico 
Two shots on target against Alaves? It seems that Atletico just pulled the stopcock and stopped playing altogether. At one point they were aiming for the Champions League, La Liga, and the Spanish Cup on par with Real and Barcelona, ​​but then they lost everything they could in 3 weeks. But why play in the "this season is over, let's wait for the next one" mode?
At the same time, Simeone is the highest paid coach in the world lol.

Yes, i dont know what to say, or even think about them. Its like they are in F1 mode when they stop developing the car because it doesnt make anysense and put all the effort in the next year one.

I was expecting a hard match for them on Alaves pitch, but come on 0 goals? Really? They destroy me in the BSFL competition.

Now, Barcelona went FULL substitutes and its no more a good pick.

[cryptofrka]

Well, one of my 2 rivals for 2nd spot failed to submit, the 2nd one is Trofo and if I look at it correctly, he gained 2 points on me in this round.

With just 2 rounds to go this basically means that Saint-loup takes the 1st place (another great round) and Mafia takes the following 2 - the only thing remaining is to see whether Trofo can catch up to overtake me.

Yeah Saint Loup is giving us lessons after lesson on which team you have to pick for every round.

I dont check yet the individual number of each players but yeah the failed submision from LTU open a much bigger gap between all of us.

Atalanta finally doing something. Congratulations to the ones who trusted them this time.

[darxiaomi]

Winner of this round is saint loup which open an even bigger gap at top. Since yesterday we know he is gonna be the winner of this round unless Forest score 12 goals 



He is "dancing" us and giving us lessons about how to do it.

Well guys we enter the very last push of this competition with only two round left for the end, tomorrow the form is gonna be available for the round 29.

[darxiaomi]

What a MADNESS of a match and what a MADNESS of goals in this Champions League semifinal, but you know also what is a Madness? Yes this competition. Round 29 now available.

[buwaytress]

What is this madness that has befallen you, dar? There is absolutely no way any of these teams (not even Barca or Inter) in the league can replicate what they did last night, can they?

I'd ordinarily ignore the big teams but I have a feeling Liverpool and Barca will take out their collective boredom and/or frustration on their league rivals this weekend. Oh, and a Mainz hattrick is coming too. As always, heard it here first.

Idk but Barcelona still needs to win to ensure that they will win the trophy as well as Inter Milan so yeah there is a possibilities for that. El Clasico is going to be super intense so perhaps we might get to watch another over 4.5 goals ? 

Oh, and a Mainz hattrick is coming too. As always, heard it here first.

I picked Mainz as well though oh wait was it Eintracht

ElClasico is gonna be super intense and hard for Barcelona now they have everything to lose, and Real Madrid can smell the blood in the sea like a shark, is his final chance to fight for the title.
