It goes without saying that I am pretty much in shock after seeing the results. If I had put all games on a ticket, it would be a pretty good win. Few round ago the 1st place looked unachivable but now that I have it, I surely hope that I won't lose it

That is amazing. You also picked the right outcome for every single match. We were close, at some point, but flew away with the prize on the draw you outfoxed all of us on. Pretty good win? I daresay it would have been minimum 200/1 (judging from that all games were at least 15/10, while I recall a few close to 3/1).

A belated well done from me!

Thanks! I have no idea what are the odds you said because in Croatia we have odds like 1.65, not 15/10. I know it would have been a pretty hefty reward, but I consider the 29 points a pretty hefty reward too. It got me to the first place. Now "all" I need is to keep it which is easier said than done. We'll see how it goes this weekend.

can slackovic still be stopped now that he's in top form...?

with 11 points, Renato297 wins this round - gratulation!

those 11 points are the lowest score ever for a round victory!
slackovic remains in the lead, having also scored 10 points this round, just like the second-place user LTU_btc

Two more rounds to go. I hope that I can keep the 1st place as that would be my first ever win in any of the pools on the forum. With only 10 points I couldn't create more difference against LTU_btc, but at least I'm still 5 points in the lead.

Finally Schalke returns where they belongs - to Bundesliga. And it means that after few years break we will have Ruhrderby between Schalke and Dortmund.

Status-quo situation remains. I'm happy that I didn't let you more far away, 5 points is something that can be changed during one round. But we both got more far away from chasing groups.

Yeah, I was following your score as well as mine and we were basically the same. Maybe even exactly the same, I don't remember. I guess that in this round the results weren't expected so none of us got many points. Two more rounds to go!

✂️

this derby is also known as the 'revierderby'
and if werder bremen avoids relegation this season (which seems likely), then there will still be the 'nordderby' between hamburg and bremen, as well as the 'rheinlandderby' between mönchengladbach and köln
all three matches are considered highly emotional games in these regions! Cool

in around 9 hours the 33th matchday in the bundesliga starts with the game dortmund vs. frankfurt and the battle for the top ranks begins again

OK, the answers submitted and the pressure is on. I remember how it was pretty easy to post predictions when I was around the middle of the table. But now that I need to fight off primarily LTU_btc, but also KTChampions and buwaytress, the pressure is quite high.

Thanks for mentioning me in the same breath as this line-up of stellar players. I had a horrible slip all those Gameweeks ago, that was really hard to swallow, but us early frontrunners are now fighting to stay in a prize spot. I have made up some ground in recent weeks but I have too few games now, and have to take risks.

Anyway, picks in, thanks for the reminder, have fun, good luck to everyone!

Quote from: slackovic on May 08, 2026, 11:28:57 AM

Same feeling bro. In the middle of season usually you don't think much before making predictions, especially when you play in 5 or 6 different pools and have to make maybe 50 or 60 predictions each weekend. But now stakes is so high and it's so easy to f*ck up.

on this match day, we’d like to congratulate morvillz7z on winning the yellow cap!
with 16 points, he has reached the highest score and thus secured the matchday win
no changes at the top of the table... next weekend will be exciting to see who becomes the new champion and who makes it into the crucial top 5 spots!
should there be a tie, slackovic wins the title because he has more matchday wins than LTU_btc... unless LTU_btc finishes next week with a 5-point lead and the yellow cap (without another matchday winner), then he can celebrate himself as the new champion

Yeah, it's a pretty intense between me and LTU_btc. What's funny is that LTU_btc and me both collected the same number of points in the last two rounds. I don't have anything against that we end up with the same number of points in the last round too

Quote from: slackovic on May 11, 2026, 09:29:43 AM

When I look from my perspective, things looks complicated, even if it's just 5 points. I need to have really good round or that you would perform badly. And what is most important, I need to have different predictions than you, not more or less same like in recent 2 rounds. It's likely that winner decider was that your massive round few weeks ago.

Bah, I'm bottling it badly. Need a minor miracle for the final round, if I'm to make it to a prize, so I hope you guys battling it out choose the same wrong picks and buway makes an inspired final sprint on the last leg.

Maybe next season I don't get stubborn and make more 2-1 picks early on, eh?

Long time without passing by here, what can i say, i only saw me falling and falling, seems like in the last round at least i manage to stop the freefalling and recover a position. The only good thing is in this pool i see the mafia underperforming pretty bad that gives us a clear clue about what happens, in Germany the law is much more stric than in other regions so they cant make their moves here, this is super clear.

alright, guys, tomorrow’s the day... the final matchday in the bundesliga is about to kick off!
so everyone still has one last chance to move up a few spots in the table... who will be our new pool champion? who will clinch that 'important' fourth/fifth place?

Thanks for the reminder. When I last posted, I was feeling pretty pumped, would be a nice end to the season (and I might have mentioned, somehow one of the more fun ones in Bundesliga, for some reason) but I'm feeling a lot more realistic today about my chances at getting third. I don't see Sir Slack getting worse than 2, but I'm going to leave this gun to do its roulette thing if I want a shot at displacing KTC Wink

But one thing is certain, you all deserve to win what you win. Great set of winners in the end!
