And right next to it im gonna post the distribution of teams for this round. Here we go.

13 people that picked Chelsea gonna regret their decision. Just when everyone thought they are one of the best team in terms of goal scoring, they never cease to amaze us

Well both of my Bundesliga selection ended with 1 goal each, Augsburg should have given me atleast 3 goals there with early red card from their opponent

It turns out the new system works perfectly, the rounds have become much more interesting and varied than they were last year.

Yeah most of us would always go for the classic setup every round before the new rules was introduced. Its always gonna be Bayern, City, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Every single one of us would likely get atleast 3 out of those 4 every rounds which is so repetitive

6th team also added alot of twist this season. Picking a team that conceded more than 1 goal gonna change a whole lot of the round

I felt the same way, I thought after that early red card they'd get cooking and put up at least 3 or 4 goals. The funny thing is both teams only managed to score after Augsburg got a player sent off as well. I didn't watch the game but I'm assuming Union Berlin parked the bus as soon as they went down to 10 men, then opened up once the red cards were leveled out. Definitely a weird matchday in the Bundesliga with mostly low scoring games. On another note, glad I wasn't one of the members who picked Chelsea, another surprise there! This contest is starting to feel like Minecraft.

Yeah I agree, this pool and CL pool really did a lot to change the way people play or at least to change the predictability of what people would do. Imagine if the big companies like Superbru or Kicktipp also do this

But it makes me realize that only on this forum people are serious that they get bored. I guess most people just don't mind doing the same things over and over with 100s of others.

Good job boss @darxiaomi

Chelsea just had to disappoint this week, but on the bright side i'm not the only one who picked them for their first five teams.  I was also expecting more than one from Dortmund, since they've been reliable in the past rounds.

It looks like el che is close to claiming this week's top scorer unless PSG scores like crazy.

Bro, why did you have to jinx me like that! Now I’ve gotta un-jinx it… haha.

It’s not over yet, I’m sitting on a +4 advantage against KTC who still has PSG and Real Madrid to go. If both of those games end up being goal fests, which is very possible in their matchups, he can easily overtake me with 5 goals. Plus SLoup is only 2 goals behind me and also has PSG left, so it’s still anyone’s game. I'll be sweating that PSG game tomorrow more for the overall top spot, that's for sure.

2 goals from Real Madrid so KTC is currently at 8 points which also means SLoup at 7 points has no chance to win anymore since they both only have PSG left

This is gonna be a 3 way last lap between you, KTC and Slaman. Slaman currently at 7 points but he has Lyon left so this could be interesting considering that PSG suffered quite abit of injuries on the UCL

So, it looks like el che needs to hope for a 0–0 draw (I haven’t checked what the tie-breaker are, though)?
I hope I don’t jinx it, but it seems to me that PSG will be more motivated than usual for this match, which decides who takes the top spot - so I’m definitely expecting a couple of goals, as for Lyon, I’m not sure what they’ll be able to do. I don’t know what slaman29 was thinking when he chose Lyon but if it earns him a win in this round, that’ll be cool.

Congratulations to everyone on Real's victory + money + mood  

[cryptofrka]

Wow, what a round
I breezed through the spreadsheet and if I'm seeing this correctly, only KTChampions can realistically score 10+ points.

I said it before and I'll repeat it again - I love the new rules.
There's a lot more unpredictability when the 'safe' picks are taken out.

[ralle14]

Bro, why did you have to jinx me like that! Now I’ve gotta un-jinx it… haha.

When I saw the score difference compared to the rest of us, I thought it was enough for you to not sweat this out, but my assumptions were wrong. 

So, it looks like el che needs to hope for a 0–0 draw (I haven’t checked what the tie-breaker are, though)?

The current number of goals is at 23 (44 vs 35), so you're right he needs a draw to become this week's top scorer.

Isnt top 2 share the free bets? So its still okay if PSG ended up with only 1 goal. Even if by any chance, Lyon score 2 goals and PSG only score 1 which put all three of them at 9 points then elche would still be top 2 due to the tiebreaker

Congratulations to everyone on Real's victory + money + mood  

It was good money yeah, 4x on Real Madrid to win. Bookies really underestimated them

[notblox1]

Stupid Chelsea ruined my win this round, but my score was still very close to the top.
I dodged the bullet with Dortmund but I see that cryptofrka mafia set a new world record in picking most teams that didnt score a single goal in their matches  
This round should improve my position in leaderboard, but I think el che is now taking over the first place in total score.

Okay, I’m taking the win in this round, thanks to Mayulu, who just scored 
Of course, Lyon has a little over 20 minutes left to score 3 goals, but I don’t believe that will happen.

Yes, I think there was a money giveaway yesterday, and by the way, I missed the more important part - they wrote that the odds for Mbappe to score were very high. I had a hunch he would score, but I completely forgot about that betting market, it’s usually not very profitable. Barcelona has become a favorite opponent for Mbappé - he’s scored 100 goals for Real Madrid, and 8 of them have been against Barcelona

If PSG settled with a 1-0, both you and el che would've split the free bet. Anyway, congrats on being this week's top scorer.

Right, we had this scenario in the first round and I missed an important part about the tiebreakers needing at least three users before they take effect.

Congrats man on the win! It came down to the very last game. After PSG's first goal we actually would have shared the prize, since tiebreakers kick in if there are 3 or more winners, but PSG just bagged that second goal so you're taking it as the sole winner of the round.
I was hoping for a quiet night from PSG so I could cut into the lead at the top, looks like fM will stay solo in first place for at least another week... but I'm coming for that top spot next week fM!

[darxiaomi]

Ufff guys what a super thigh round we just have, i cant be active since im sick right now so i cant follow the round so much i was only filling the results in the control sheet without looking at it so much.

It seems like KTChampions is our winner of the round with 10 points, congratulation to him, it seems like PSG finally paid you off and give you a win in this contest.

Tomorrow im gonna try to post the next round as always. See you all guys!

PSG was quite a popular pick, I believe being able to avoid the disastrous Chelsea for this round helped him, but it doesn’t matter now, congratulations to him!

I tried to switch things up by not picking Arsenal, but in return I ended up with a team far worse, perhaps, It will do me a lot of good to avoid PL teams altogether, it’s just harder to do when the week you don’t pick them is when they know how to score goals unprovoked.

[BABY SHOES]

Max 10 points as winner... this was a low-scoring round.

Will Chelsea be in the form line-up? Even though I was disappointed this week not to get at least a point in the next round, I have more confidence in the Blues... fighting the worst Red Devils would be a good option again.

Just avoid it... their opponents are strong, it is likely that Goonner will lose.
