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

[darxiaomi]

I just looked at the league table and thought: What!? 
Given my modest result with Como, I thought not only that I’d lost the round, but also that I’d slide back to the middle of the pack (or even further). As it turns out, however, the round went even worse for those who were ahead of me, and now I’m in 2nd/3rd place! A pleasant surprise.
By the way, I should point out that I’m closer to 2nd place than darxiaomi is  In the event of a tie in points, round wins are taken into account - and I have one 

Hahaha you know man this are the.... how to call it....prerogatives of the host 

And after we lose our third guy at podium we have to show to the people a picture with at least 2 of the players from the south still on top.

About your round result, you were between the best of the round so despite Como you climb positions in this one.

Well guys after the super win from arall in the past round we are back again for our last round before another international break, this time we have the full roster of teams since the Manchester City is again back after their ban, in the past round anyways they were a complete disaster scoring 0 goals.

Lets go!

It was a good round for me, but would have been far better had I not get burned by Sunderland allowing 3 against Coventry hence me finishing with 15 points...

Captain arall stole the show that the "Rome" pick such an outlier that made all the difference, well done!

I had a much better luck going early, I'm doing it again, there isn't much different info to get on the teams I picked that are playing in Europe anyway.

No one was expecting to see Coventry scoring 3 goals and Sunderland allowing 3 goals also.

Yes Rome was the best pick but i have to be honest i was also not expecting to see them scoring 5 goals in away condition.

I did not win a single round this season, and this weekend is going to be the perfect time to do it.
I am currently in the middle of the table with ten points less than leader fM, so I have the chance, but I need to win and crush my opponents.
How Mafia remained higher than me on leaderboard is no secret, he bribed darbit to give him more points

Yeah, I usually ignore everything else about a player's outside life and just focus on him as a player. However, there are some things that I can't keep distancing from and his case is such an instance.

I actually do factor in a player's values when supporting them. That said I try to withhold final judgment until the trial happens, players at that level get targeted at times, so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. If he's found guilty, my stance will change.

On the pitch I’ve always loved watching versatile defenders, guys like Marcelo or Dani Alves.. players who can cover the whole flank, adapt anywhere and deliver at both ends. It’s hard to find full backs with that kind of attacking efficiency.

Yeah love those type of fullbacks, but I also really liked our TAA and Robbo combi which, I feel, was never quite captured by any team. And when they switched flanks at times, wow.

Re this guy we're talking about, yeah, he was never convicted because his girlfriend forgave and married him but I've known myself women who do that. Actually reminds me also about Ronaldo who settled, and that always left a bad taste too.

Sorry for OT guys, back to the madness!

After observing the progress of Arralmunus and mv1986, I’ve realized that it’s easier to reach the top than it is to fall from it; in a way, it’s the opposite of gaining or losing weight (well, sort of; perhaps that analogy doesn’t quite work here...). 
I’m still enjoying my time on the podium, but that’s just a "snapshot" of a specific moment; every matchday brings a new challenge to maintain my position (a bit of a cliché at phrase, you know... for the benefit of the journalists who might be reading this).

Anyway, I hope my prediction regarding the sixth team for this round doesn’t turn out to be "wrong" (I’ve already made my first "mistake") and I trust that it won’t happen again over the next 35 matchdays.

I’ve put together the following animated chart to illustrate the major boost that comes from scoring 20 points; it’s essentially like gaining the equivalent of two rounds' worth of points all at once:

^{*Puntos Acumulados: accumulated points by fM}

Great image bro! So 20 points is all it takes to get a pushboost up,,, very interesting but to nail that is another story 

And actually I have a complete personal reflection on what you just said because I also said this to all my buddies,,, you can gain 10% weight easily in a week with no effort (literally make no effort just eat), but to lose 10% you need to struggle very hard daily for 1 month. But then something happened to me when I was trying to gain weight it was impossible. Ate a lot, like double or triple, slept a lot and did not go out and I did not gain anything! Then to make it worse I got very sick a few years ago and lost so much weight like a flash.

Well, I am still up there, but I failed to submit my answers once and yet it is possible. Maybe this should be part of the answer here. It is an interesting format that @darxiaomi is offering here. I think the addition of the relegation team that concedes the least made this competition much ore interesting. Which teams score the most goals? It will be mostly redundant. But if you have scorers and "conceders", you add variance where people can do some more or less smart guess work. I would play the cross league goal madness again next season. It's fun. Too bad I failed to submit one round, but I am still in the game

The only thing i dont want to see is after this new "broader selfie" any of us fall from the top positions  

With the new rules is easy to fall since a very bad round in your normal picks and a very shit result by your six team which can end in a minus score can destroy a few good rounds.

Worst of all can happen in rounds like the past one where most of the field scored a lot of points and if you underperform in that specific round you can be in trouble.



Just in case i just check and only 3 people make their predictions yet, come on guys is not so much to wait for.

[darxiaomi]

Hi guys the deadline is tomorrow and only 3 users has already made their picks so just in case anyone has forgot about this contest im gonna tag again all the remain users who need to make their picks for this round.

WE have the comeback of Manchester City in this one, and maybe Rome if they score 3 goals again are gonna be baned for the next round which is really crazy coming from a italian team.

Nice chart you got there. Im close to the top but I think Im gonna have a significant drop this round, Im so clueless this round because all teams are on the list which makes it a little more difficult than usual

Aside from that Im totally confused with the 6th team on this round, avoiding penalty would be massive advantage here but it seems like all these teams are gonna concede for some reason

It's fun. Too bad I failed to submit one round, but I am still in the game

If you didnt fail to submit, you probably would have put yourself on top 2 by now. Well still plenty of times to catch up

Jesus papacita Christ arallmuus, I know I'm so proud of my RTG teammates but this mad streak is becoming ridiculous! You're an overpowered little bastard but I'm glad you're in my team.

If only I can implement some of those luck on our RTG games to help us win. So far its been misery after misery for us with the odds turning against our favour on the last minute or so. One of these days, we are going to win 3-0 on our RTG for sure !

[slaman29]

Always a hard pick, and I wonder how many people will pick Barca this week. I learnt my lesson finally in RTG not to distrust my own team and just stick with them all the way, so I have no issue now proclaiming that I pick them and they will deliver.

Come on Valencia, do something!!

[cryptofrka]

I have 10 teams selected and can't remove a single one. Odds say remove Chelsea and City, but they are playing against such bad teams that I think both score 3+ easy.
Then again, how to remove Roma, Arsenal, Liverpool, Real, Bayern, Dortmund..

This is going to be one crazy round, I'll go with 60 goals scored for all teams on the list

[buwaytress]

^ Half of my picks agree with frka, half weren't even considering City or Dortmund. Or Liverpool. Happy to skip my own team is it means we get a bucketload of goals there. Come on, Wirtz, show them what you're (really actually truly) made of, eh?

I went with 50. Maybe Real blanks. I know, Valencia. haha.

[KTChampions]

Come on Valencia, do something!!

I’m sure you mean something along the lines of "let in 7 goals or even more, just to delight the Madridistas", thanks!

I hope everyone bets against Real - it’s a profitable move! Vini still won’t be on the pitch (this is the final match of his suspension), so Real is practically disarmed!  
I’m not sure what to do about the Atlético vs. Barcelona matchup - should I ignore it completely, or just partially? The question is, which part should I ignore? 
All in all, there’s quite a bunch of games here that I’d like to bet on, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this round actually ends up being low-scoring - that’s usually how it goes.

[notblox1]

I was busy today and I almost forgot to post my Madness predictions, but I saw notification and send my answers now.
Maybe now is the best time for me to win a round because I didnt spend a lot of time researching and overthinking everything.
Biggest issue for me was picking one of six teams in relegation zone, but I had to pick one in the end.

[darbitmobilerecovery]

Last call guys for this round we are just one hour far from our deadline which is the start of the Borussia M'gladbach so be sure you make your picks before the whistle.

Im gonna make my picks just now so i dont know yet what to say about this round but i already saw and read most of your comments and seems like is gonna be another super difficult round to pick which from one side is great.
