[paco92x]

Thanks for the ping, I really needed that. Still trying to get into the rhythm of not forgetting everything. I really, really, really wanted to pick Spurs though -- they'll either lose badly or score 3 against City, it's that kind of form I think Richarlison and Porro are in, early season trickery afoot. Also Celta Vigo, poor guys, they might do 3+ this opener too!

Wow, you are a big optimist about Tottenham. I certainly hope City continue to screw up, but now seems like a bad time to bet against them (not the 4th round yet and not the game against United haha).
I don't think I've picked any English teams this round, my main bet is on La Liga and Bundesliga. Simeone has one last chance to impress me, if not, I'll take him out of all bets until the end of the season 

Tottenham vs Man City is always a game that can result in lots of goals. Maybe Tottenham shocks City like they did to PSG. Kudus, Sarr, and Johnson have good attacking qualities, and when you add Porro, I think they can definitely cause trouble for City’s not-so-great defense.

The only negative here is Richarlison — he's in a mini run of form, but in my opinion, he's not a great forward option for Tottenham.

As always the spreadsheet now is fully visible for everyone, you can look and see all the picks made by everyone. We have 16 players!

And now i share the statistics for this round.



Barcelona(15) is the most selected team, and the second one is Bayern Munich with 12 selections.

First half of the Bayern game and the blitzkrieg from the Munich team is super solid, making me suffer since i dont select them.

Damn, Bayern 6 goals! It reminds me of the start of last season when Barcelona scored 7 but I didn't pick them. Thank God I picked Bayern this time. But unfortunately it looks like I'll start to fall behind the leaders from the very beginning - Chelsea have already scored 5 goals and they have 15 minutes left to improve their result. Who would have thought of this against the backdrop of the first game without goals.
Heh, I see only Harkorede chose both Bayern and Chelsea. The second lucky winner missed Bayern, although he guessed Chelsea.

[famososMuertos]

11...11! this is a horse race!? it looks like a "flag to flag" win...
I think we all saw Chelsea, yes, but  wanted it to leave 0-0. No regrets.

You're lucky to have chosen Bayern Munich because at least they score a lot of goals, even though you didn't choose Chelsea at the same time, and only Harkorede is a little lucky now... at least we didn't miss out on choosing Bayern.
Maybe Madrid and Barcelona will score a lot of goals, especially Barcelona against the usual promoted team, which will be crushed.

[slaman29]

OK so it really looks like a 'simple' game. I think most of us went for Bayern so easy pick but damn whoever pick Chelsea knew all about the shitty team that is West Ham lol I'm dissing them in all my posts today they made me so mad and I don't even like these teams but they just ruined my day all the time.

From the graphic of choices it seems like 30% of options weren't even chosen. So I guess every season its just very close and tight.

[buwaytress]

Am I a genius or am I jinxing Spurs with 20 minutes to go?

Hahaha seems like the madness takes over you because that teams cannot be selected at all.

Spurs? Lets see if in a miracle they can be in in some of the reshufles, but i dont think they can reach the top 5 at all in this season, plus they have to play Champions League and they have a coach who doesnt have experience in managing a lot of games for the team.

They'll be in the top 5 after this victory, though, right? Just not sure I want to pick them in their next match as Bournemouth play an entirely different game to City. I know how Cross League works, of course, but I do find it a shame we can't pick 1 "wildcard" our gut tells us can score goals against particular opponents =p

Wow, you are a big optimist about Tottenham. I certainly hope City continue to screw up, but now seems like a bad time to bet against them (not the 4th round yet and not the game against United haha).
I don't think I've picked any English teams this round, my main bet is on La Liga and Bundesliga. Simeone has one last chance to impress me, if not, I'll take him out of all bets until the end of the season 

Just because of H2H, really. W5 D1 L4 is a really, really decent record, and I thought they might benefit from some good form players. Sure, they lost Son but that poor guy was well-depleted last season. Anyway, you and I both like value bets and if they win 50% of the games vs City at odds above 7/1, it's a value bet all day.

Simeone? I only like him against the big guys, and at odds 4/1 or more =p

So it turns out you were 100% right about Tottenham   A very pleasant result, a dry defeat and it seems that City's prospects are more or less clear. The poor genius needs another billion to stay in business  
Simeone is annoying. Yes, Atletico can be good against the top teams, but I have the impression (as a Real Madrid fan) that they only exist to hurt Real and give points to Barcelona. And also to destroy multi-bets due to its instability against underdogs.

Yep its going to be close every rounds. Especially when top 4 of the league play against the bottom 4, like 90% of us would pick them over the other team

I see only Harkorede chose both Bayern and Chelsea. The second lucky winner missed Bayern, although he guessed Chelsea.

I guess he will win this round. Harko got Real Madrid, Liverpool and Barcelona for the rest and most of us have atleast one of those teams as well so unless we got another team that score 5 goals which Harko doesnt have then there is no stopping him to win the round  

What a start for Harko

Yes, as i said is super simple, and yes is super tight but somehow the last season Saint-l manage to build a big gap pojt by point round by round, and for the end we were only 6 of us fighting for the prizes.

And it was a good and difficult fight every goal counts.

Am I a genius or am I jinxing Spurs with 20 minutes to go?

I cant say anything, but i want to see if your money is where your mouth is, and we can check this very easy, wait me a second here please.

Well the sports pools police department give us some very solid proves....



How you can explain this to the communitty?  


About me, im in the bottom of the leaderboard, i start horrible this time, i miss B.M and Chelsea. And Leverkusen score only 1 goal a complete disaster until now.

I have no explanation as to why I ended up with Chelsea to be honest, but with Arsenal also scoring 5 goals against Leeds, I guess I'm not so lucky after all, am I ?

I guess I jinxed it? sorry mate 

but there are 5 others with Bayern Munich + Arsenal but personally I like your selections better because you have Liverpool in it. Most has either Either Real Madrid or Barcelona or both combined with Atletico or Atalanta ( rough check, cant really recall everything ). Liverpool probably could score atleast 2 goals though

[famososMuertos]

1st place Round(!?): Wow, that's really easy! If one has 10 goals in this round and two days left, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone.  

Hey Dar, I don't know if I'm speaking too soon, but I like the  Control table you added to the spreadsheet.

Ahahahaha   Good find! I'm also interested in explanations, especially considering that buwaytress usually makes strange picks... maybe this was also a strange pick (according to his criteria), but it accidentally turned out to be wrong? I mean he was betting on City as underdogs when we were all betting on City as favourites.
As for the start, I'm also screwed because of the damned Ten Hag and the damned Simeone. I'm crossing these clubs out of my bets until the coaches change.

[slaman29]

I guess I should be happy Barca scored 3. I forgot all about Arsenal also as a possibility, but then they fought Leeds so maybe not yet the time to get too excited about that.

Would be funny if Newcastle scored 4 against Liverpool, or something like Fulham score 3 or 4 against Manchester.

Now I feel this strategy is to pick all the teams everyone picks with 4 picks, then pick 1 team to beat everybody (this round that team was Chelsea).

Haha, it is perfectly explained by this earlier post I made in reply to cryptofrka in the EPL pool:

I'm backing Spurs -- not in the pool obviously, but the odds looked too good to ignore. Happy I got them close to 8/1. Odds are barely 55/10 now. Good for me? Agree about Eze. He'd be a central player in Spurs... another Gooner in rotation for Arsenal.

Going against such a huge favourite is NOT a value proposition in Superbru or in most pools, including this Cross League Goal Madness haha.

Of course I have put money where my mouth is:

Come on people, you should not expect so little from me.

Thanks fM, yes i really hope to see this working properly, this give us more "live" results so we can check easily how the round is going (unless i update the control sheet).

So please everyone when the round ends please doublecheck the results since this is new and can have errors, i test it a few times and it have to be working good.

Totenham fake bet made by buwaytress proves 

Enjoy your wins, the prosecution rests. We are gonna appeal.  


Fuck man, im super cooked right now. I cant believe im starting this bad. All my faith is put on Atalanta and Villarreal, i risk and the gamble doesnt paid off.

[cryptofrka]

Started well, Harkorede seems like the most likely freebet winner though.

Yeah, makes sense to avoid 'risky' picks at the beginning of the season. These teams can change drastically from season to season, I'll start with these types of gambles after round 5 or something like that.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

All i can say is WHAT A FIRST ROUND!

We have a super good first round, today the first round ends with the games between Liverpool Newcastle and the games of Inter and Bilbao, but until now we have a rain of goals and if im not mistaken we never have a round with so much goals from the teams who can be selected.

At least for me Villarreal comes to me recue and with 5 goals makes me not be that far from the rest of the field, anyways im in a very shit position since Atalanta like in the previous season wrecked me with a clown performance an scoring 1 goal, i know they were a shit pick since Juric is a bad coach but against Pisa i thinked it can be a good one.

We had it on the last season though R17 to be precise. Highest was 21 on that round with 15 as the lowest with couple of people getting 18,19 and 20 as well.

Anyway started off pretty rough for me with only 13 goals... its hgonna be hard to catch up with the rest after getting a bad round like this

Started well, Harkorede seems like the most likely freebet winner though.

Liverpool need to score atleast 2 goals for him to win. if its only 1 goal tonight then its going into tiebreak but with only 16 as his tiebreaker then he is definitely not winning it against couple of other 18s with better tiebreaker amount
