Oh hell I missed picking Schalke in the relegation zone, actually fancy them putting up a wall at Hoffenheim (and see now how it will turn out haha). Probably just more surprised to see Espanyol and went with them instead.

Who picked Milan and why?

Of course, Milan will be this week's Roma from last week...

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.

Heh, but objective me actually remembers that during Xabi's time, Vini and Mbappe on the same pitch didn't seem to work out so well and this fine run has somewhat brought out the best in others -- maybe Vini comes back and team falls apart again?

Amazing match I hope, I'll set myself up to watch but don't really see much point in me betting when I've been ass at it. Saw your separate discussions with frka and slam but I'm not following enough to understand the state of these teams.

There goes my chances of catching up this week. I thought Malaga was a decent option for the sixth team, but they still can't win and even gave up two goals against a team that's 0-5 on the road. 

Also, those who backed Leipzig are off to a good start with that 5-1 home win, that'll be tough to beat unless the other teams they've picked go cold.

I also picked the sixth team less right again... damn it! Coventry lost 3-1 to Everton so with that defeat the points had to be deducted again, so a little bit behind with the others, we had a little advantage choosing Leipzig so the points were not drained away.

Choosing Arsenal is also a bad choice... until the 80th minute only scored one goal, his Gooners seemed to have trouble finding goal space despite several times doing it.

Arrhh I don't really expect a full round this time, else there will definitely be higher points.

[famososMuertos]

The sixth team, I ended up with a big fat zero (a perfect,) beautiful zero. On the other hand, why didn't I pick Leipzig? Honestly, it’s all Dortmund and Bayern’s fault; I thought they were enough. So for now, three teams I picked have the same score as Leipzig.

Things are not looking very good for me in this round
I selected two teams from Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester City that both scored total of two goals only.
Now I have no chance to win this round and I can only hope that Roma, and Real Madrid score plenty of goals for my goal difference.

In reality, many people are in this situation, as I had anticipated, expectations for the round were high, but so far they are not being met. Also, I have to point out that what’s going on with City looks like some kind of scam - first 7 wins in a row, then 3 losses in a row. Seems totally "normal," hehe. Today I lost one multi bet because of them. Just imagine how much the bookies have made from these three City losses... a tidy sum for sure!

[cryptofrka]

Leeaa picked Milan, maybe because Serie A is such a weird league, No ? Watch Milan score effortlessly, after all they scored 3 against Inter Milan then went ahead to fail against Ferencvaros in EL.

There were 15 teams on my radar this round and Milan was not among them

Looks like a perfect round in the making, 7 points already with 3 teams left to play.

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!  

Lol you're welcome! They did do something, which is get a red card. Another solid win with solid cushion for you guys. Now its Barca's turn and we've to try and not look directly at the bright lights at Wanda oops I mean Riyadh Air (I still call it Wanda sorry oil guys).

And yet they are not returning the money to us, maybe they're still angry they only made tiny profits (millions not billions) at the last World Cup.

To be honest, those creeps from Valencia really pissed me off. 26 fouls against Real Madrid - that’s a record across the top leagues so far this season. Moreover, Real committed 6 fouls but received 3 yellow cards, while Valencia received 4 yellow cards for 26 fouls. I don't understand this math How I regret that the Super League hasn’t been created yet, and Real is forced to put up with this small-time, bush-league crap.
I don’t understand where all this hatred for Real comes from, for instance, against Barcelona, ​​Valencia committed only 7 fouls!

P.S. It seems the fouls market is also worth looking into!

We have to be honest with us and with all the pool, come on we are gonna said the truth we all thinked that the guy who picked Milan was buwaytress is not reason to hide it, we all think the same for sure.

He is the choosen one for the weirdest pick. 

Yes Espanyol saved the ass of a lot of people in the pool, in my case i took a -2 from Malaga which i was not expecting and handicaped me so much in this round.
Congratulation to you for picking Leipzig.

Still a lot in play today. Lets see who ended up winning this round.

Coventry on the road is certainly a choice, but at least Leipzig got you covered.  

Aside from Arsenal, there's Man City and Lazio only good for a goal each. I might hit my worst score this week with three of them scoring only one goal.

I need a miracle from Inter, please let their match be a goalfest.

Ahhh baby shoes i was happy when i saw you picked the Leipzig and you and only a few more picked them and i was happy thinking about your are gonna win your first round here, but sadly later i saw some other guys having more points.

About Inter, damn man they already scored 2 goals without Lautaro Martinez and for me is not looking good right now since i selected Como instead of them and right now Como is doing nothing. I hope in the second half to see Como coming back and scoring a lot, but it seems until now like they spend all their goals in the last Lens games for UCL.

[arallmuus]

since i selected Como instead of them and right now Como is doing nothing.

Cmon dont be shy, we are gonna share the same 0 goal humiliation together. I got Chelsea and this is the 2nd time that I put them on the list but they didnt score. Can I start petition to ban Chelsea out of the list until the end of the season?

I was doing pretty okay although I wont win this round by picking few decent selection as well as getting 0 goal on the 6th team but Chelsea just had to ruin it for me.


Leea will be taking the hardest beating this round. He has combination of Chelsea + Como and total of 4 points from the other three teams but his 6th team is currently 2 goals down

Man don't get me started on fouling, Valencia of the past are rolling in their graves with the way the current team plays. At least I can respect Atleti's version (which to be fair is actually reducing and most of it happens when they're chasing games now) which is central to the way they use psychology on their opponents.

About Real Madrid getting different treatment, some people argue it is exactly right but its because refs call fouls more easily against Real than against other teams So both Real haters and lovers agree that Real gets different treatment Both arguments contribute to the foul total against Real lol

I hope we all agree tho Getafe is the creepiest team in La Liga for that too, like a C version of Atleti and Watford combined.

Congratulations to crypfrka (aka cryptf*cker) for his win in this round, is sad for all the field to see a mafia guy winning in this competition but we all know this could happen they can brive always so sometimes this was gonna happen later or sooner.

In my case was a bad round which could cost me a lot in the future.

And in the case of leea, damn man that was really hard, seems like the gods of luck forget you for this round.

When i update the leaderboard we are gonna see who remains on top. But seems like mafia guy is starting to acomodate there.

Well done!

Ultimately you won the round, all your analysis played out perfectly, Milan didn't turnout to be the worse team of the round, they scored as many as Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City combined.

My round wasn't any better after I picked Schalke 04 as my 6th team and I had Manchester City despite telling myself I was don't with English team just a week ago... There is a pause now and we go again when the league resumes.

[notblox1]

Oh no! I cant believe Mafia somehow won this round, and I wont congratulate that cheater anyhting! 
This is the worst thing that could happen, and he increased point difference again.
Arsenal and Man City messed up my score this round, and I think my position on leaderboard is going down.
This international break will serve good to take a break and cool my head.

[el che]

Man.. another terrible round for me, the english teams wrecked me, caught another red arrow and now I'm trailing by 8 points. This pool is total madness, early on you couldn't find five safe picks if your life depended on it and now there's a overload of solid options.

@darxiaomi, any chance we get an international round added to the schedule? I need to climb back up the table ASAP and a week off is torture!!! 

[famososMuertos]

The winner of this round nipping at my heels. (Enhorabuena! Cryptofka)
My small lead is starting to shrink; a two-goal cushion is nothing.
Only two teams from the so-called "big six" finished with zero goals, and Sunderland was among them; wow! It made no sense for them to end with zero this matchday, but then again, they conceded 3 goals back in round 6...

[cryptofrka]

Finally where I belong
Madness is a part of me and I am the most successful participant of this pool (at least I think so), so it's fitting that I start reclaiming my spot at the top.

This was a crazy round though - and I do feel a bit lucky to create such a gap against basically anyone else.
