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

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.

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.
