In Premier League if you are loosing points in consecutive games you aren't first anymore. There is always few teams having great seasons.

I see that level of dominance only in the French league and the German league a couple of seasons ago. The German league has gotten more competitive for a couple of seasons now, it reminds me of the time Dortmund were pushing Bayern all the way in the league and ucl too.
You're the only one that can take the yellow cap away from me this round now. I'm really surprised how I've gotten so many exact scores.

That is because you are lucky bastard  I mean that in best possible way and it a term of endearment I use often in other competitions but you are not usually part of that banter so wanted to add a bit of explanation so you don't think I am insulting you. Maybe we get you hooked and you decide to try out BSFL (new season starting soon) or some other pools.

Free bet will be coming your way shortly. I had a great week with 18 points but you managed to hit 19.5 impressive.
That could already be a candidate for Highest yellow cap reward.

That's right up there along the top compliments I can get and give 
I have given BSFL a look along with other pools, I don't think I can make out the time for them now and would not want to be inconsistent. When I can, I'll surely be in line to sign up.

Run me my cheque 

It was really a lucky week, not sure I could replicate that in any other week. You had an impressive score too.youll be the lucky bastard next time.

Im doing pretty well here, and i was not expecting that performance from me in this league. So if i stay in this  top positions for a few weeks more consider me as a contender for the first french league pool winner.

I don’t even know in which pool I’m doing worse — in all of them, I’m stuck at the very bottom. I just can’t get the results right, and it’s always that last goal in some match that ends up ruining everything for me. It’s always on the opposite side of what I need. Seems like this won’t be a good first year for me in these pools.

Don't worry it isn't experience thing, I am also occupying lower levels of the tables in all pools this season Still early days and plenty of time to fall even more behind 

I think I will have to tone down on pools and play fewer of them but with a bit more of research. Saying that after I just sent money for Europa League one as well.

Luck plays a big role sometimes and can throw even the most delicate research out of the water. There's still plenty of time for you to turn this around and climb up the table. One good round can be the catalyst for that.
I did not expect that the Ligue 1 federation will reschedule a match the same day as the ballon d'Or ceremony. This is an event organized by a French association and a French player playing in Paris is the favorite to win it while the entire PSG team are expected to sweep the team of the season positions, surely you should be able to fit the rescheduled match into some other time.

With Dembele injured, let's see if he does attend the ceremony without his teammates.

First Marseille against PSG at Velodrome since 2011, crazy. Yeah, they won in cup few years ago, but I'm talking about league only.
PSG failed to score for the first time since March if I'm not mistaken. And in general, it's been a while since PSG played such poor game.

As I understand there was no other option than moving game to next day. It's not just about PSG, but also about finding datevthat would be good for Marseille. But yeah, it's a bit stupid situation that we got.

Round 5 winner is el che, not bad picking 8.5 points in a round as full of surprises as this one. Free bet coming your way.


Not a single person even picked a draw for PSG game I guess Parisians were on Ballondor d'or ceremony in spirit if not flesh.

Congratulations, El Che... at least we didn't do too badly this round.

Everyone predicted PSG would win, but they ended up losing... I don't think this match will coincide with the Ballon d'Or, as the people of Paris will probably see Dembele as the winner.

Congratulations to the winner.

Well i saw the last minutes of the game between Marseille and PSG and i feel like it was not PSG or at least it wasnt the team who won the last Champions League, they cant generate any real threat agains the goal of marseille.

Marseille have a few very good names between his players, but they always fail to achieve anything.

[LTU_btc]

Can I resign from this pool? Because now I'm just humiliating myself with such performance. If I won't finish season in last place, it will be already achievement for me. I mean, like today, Monaco is big favorite, but they get red card and Lorient wins game confidently what nobody didn't saw coming.
Or Marseille winning game in last minute was something what I didn't needed at all. Now PSG isn't showing anything special against Auxerre, but it doesn't even matters because everyone goes with PSG wins

This weekend has been very difficult to predict in all the different leagues. Only the bundesliga went somewhat according to the expected plan.

It's a very long season ahead, you could very well still climb up to the top places.

PSG are yet to hit top form in the league, I was really surprised about their performance in the first UCL game. They could be saving their best for the heavyweight clash with Barcelona.

[Upgrade00]

That's a really good sight there. Seasons usually get more difficult to predict during the mid to late periods, or so does the leagues I usually follow.

PSG stumble again this week. They had a difficult match against Barcelona and still lots of injuries playing against a top team. I don't feel they'll mind the table much at this point in the season, plenty of time to establish a bigger lead.

With such a high score... it's difficult to catch up.
Now, in this round, I can reach 11 yellow cap points.

No one correctly predicted the score of this match, thinking that PSG would win, but instead they were held to a draw by LOSC.
We won't fall too far behind the other teams in the standings, so we can just relax.
I'm quite happy this week.

It was expected to be a tough match, but betting against PSG is not something anyone will want to do.
That was a beautiful free kick from Nuno Mendez, he is currently the best LB in the world and arguably the best full back too.

It must also have felt good for Kylian Mbappe to watch his brother score against their former team.

They're still leading the table despite the dropped points.

[paco92x]

Strasbourg won 5–0 against Angers; they were flying on home ground. I haven’t seen a team with an xG of 4.73 in a while. I know Angers are in a relegation battle, but still, to demonstrate this kind of power is truly something. Strasbourg now sits in 3rd place, just 1 point behind PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain FC - 1.19

Olympique de Marseille - 7.50

AS Monaco FC - 19.00

Olympique Lyonnais - 21.00

Is it just me or are bookmakers giving away free money? There are currently four teams within one point of each other, but PSG is the clear leader and, on paper, they're head and shoulders above all other contenders. Is 19% for an eight-month wait generous or a trap? Do bookmakers really only evaluate numbers/actual results, and not the expected outcome? So, if Marseille temporarily takes the lead, they'll be almost level with PSG in terms of odds?

I like Nuno Mendez's playing style... he deserves to be the best player.

It must also have felt good for Kylian Mbappe to watch his brother score against their former team.

I saw in this clip that Mbappe cheered when his brother scored a goal.

Other bookmakers are also offering lower odds.


Don't be surprised... the French League will remain a farmers' league in their eyes because, in the end, PSG will be the champions again this season.

Even though the points are tight now... after an 8-month wait, PSG will still be on top in the end.

I am not surprised by the low quotes; on the contrary, I consider them generous. Even +16% over eight months is very good (especially when it comes to cryptocurrency). Compared to the Bundesliga, where bookmakers offer Bayern at 1.04, PSG's odds are very attractive. In my opinion, PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 is even more assured than Bayern's in the Bundesliga. I don't understand why there's such a difference in odds.
