Imagine trolling someone who's doing much better than yourself in most of the pools this season. This is the only place the Mafias are having a good time cause they made me miss a lot of GWs. 

What? I'm doing really well in most pools this season
The only ones in which I'm terrible are the few Superbru ones - La Liga, Serie A and probably Ligue 1.

I fear a lot of teams are going to be identical for this weeks challenge due to this stupid rule of max 3 players per team now instead of just 1. Ruined it by doing that. Everyone will have triple arsenal and triple chelsea if not 2 Chelsea. 🥱

Yeah, most will go with 3 Arsenal and 3 Chelsea. That's why it might be smart to go for a little bit of a differential there - especially in Arsenal.

I wish we could do like some real life experiment like Guardiola, playing with No. 9 and just have 3-2-0 or 2-3-0 formation, it would have been much more easier, but I guess the good part of this one is that one can wait until the lineups are out before selecting or making changes in their teams, I'm thinking Wolves could end being a tough not for Chelsea to crack or it not being a goal fiesta match, maybe a 2-1 looking at how well Chelsea have failed to keep cleansheet in their recent matches, and Palmer being of fire, means Enzo is going to be as cold as the snow, as for Arsenal their strikers are actually shit, I might go for Gabriel Jesus or Gyokeres if either of them should start, but that also leaves me short with either double defense or mixing a Brazilian stew with English rice...  That being said, a lot would be depending on how each team decides to lineup, in the case of Arsenal for the first game.

This was a Bitcointalk clean sweep, congrats to all that made it to the podium.. already setting yourselves up for monthly prizes  

Anyway any action going on in terms of chat challenges with the new gameweek coming up ??

Hope Chelsea assets don't cost me this time around because I was expecting a cleansheet when Palmer was getting his hattricK

igebotz coming in with 5 assumptions, all 5 of them wrong. It's like a virus attacking all threads

______________________________

Will be interesting to see how people will approach this one. Some Chelsea assets on double points look better than some Arsenal players with DGW's.

Considering that I forgot to play yesterday, can't really be mad with my score.
Should have captained Sarr instead of Mitoma though - in retrospective this seems like an obvious choice.

It's only triple roster from that game between Chelsea and Leeds, the Arsenal game he's referencing to has a double game week they are not apart of the archetype this week. So there will be a lot of different teams with plenty strategies to go with as well, let's see what trofo conjures up this time.

yh I know it’s only Chelsea Leeds for the event but due to Arsenal double gameweek and the max 3 role now instead of 1 majority of teams are going to be 3 Chelsea 3 Arsenal.

Yes very true it's gonna be very tricky how you roster the squad this week, guess the key is not to over think while deciding just pick and move. Shit you're right I didn't realize about the max roles till now good looking out, have to find a way to use this to my advantage.

Congratulations to all winners 😁

Once again, I won against Slissy, but now it isn’t news anymore, it is expected. 2:0 for me in our sidebet, easy 100$ so far and counting  

Ok in the first round you was really lucky i had 1 player less but In the second round you were the best😁 But i Don't like how this is going but we still have many round left.. At least let win win 1 round hahah😁 Will you C palmer again? New round starts today.. And i refuse to believe Palmer will score 3 new goals today hahah😁

[buwaytress]

And i refuse to believe Palmer will score 3 new goals today hahah😁

And just like that my sidebet on Cole Palmer vs Wirtz 007 is neck-to-neck again. Two penalties, though, what kind of luck did my padi invoke last weekend, I'll never know.

P.S. I'm doing my FPL challenge again this week, hope I didn't ruin my revival luck there. Doesn't anyone else hate how you have to login twice on the same platform?!?!

You guys are doing something wrong. I have one login for regular fantasy and this one. I am also always logged on, except when game throws me out for security reasons every few months. I always have to login when new season starts and maybe once or twice more while it lasts.

Check your bookmark to see if you saved proper page, I think anything works except login page. And check if there is maybe an option to not log out?

[darbitmobilerecovery]

I dont really think Palmer is gonna score like crazy again but i cant not have him again so is now in my team for this round, plus we saw him scoring a lot of goals in short runs in the past i can be wrong bu i remember him scoring 4 goals in a game and 3 in the next game or something like that when he was in his best moment on CHelsea.

Aside of that im confident on my team for this midweek round.

Lets go!

[slackovic]

I hate these mid-week rounds. Again I almost forgot to submit my players for this game week. I'm on a trip and I didn't follow the forum that much. If it weren't for the darbitmobilerecovery's post, I would surely miss to submit. I had to chose the players on my mobile which I hate to do, but it looks like I made an OK choice. Joao Pedro scored and Palmer assisted so so far, so good

I think maybe it happens because i always reject their cookies. Maybe is that. But yes Buwaytress i also hate it, 3 extra clicks a complete non sense, i also have all the log in saved so i dont understan why this keep happening, but for sure is something related to the cookies or some setting on our browsers.

About today, seems like my team is paying off.
Joao Pedro and Palmer as captain collecting points, the bad take is most of us for sure have him. And i dont put any Leeds players i wasnt expecting them having a good game on Chelsea soil.

[Jinetics1111]

Not having Palmer is gonna do wonders for my squad , dammit I should've followed along don't ask why I didn't looking forward to next weeks challenge since this one probably has no chance now. Can imagine everybody has Palmer on their team with Captain status too, so yeah my mistake but we see how the rest plays out later.

I was considered dropping Palmer in this round but you never know with him if he will have 2 good matches in a row... My mistake was choosing Enzo in my team.. I think we all now have Arsenal players left for sure😂

I also had Palmer and captained him when I saw that he was in the starting line and alongside Joao Pedro, but what would most likely cost me this round is that I have Sanchez instead Raya, I mean I just thought about it properly if there was anyone from the Arsenal's defense guaranteed of playing 90 minutes over both matches it would be Raya... I don't think both Timber and Gabriel would playing 90 minutes in both matches, but good thing is that both games aren't even close to each other, or maybe I could still switch things up, once I see the lineup, but right now everything is template as f**#

Damn good thing you didn't cause he has big points right now, I should've just kept him on my squad damn 2nd guessing got me. Still I have Pedro so not bad but not having Palmer stinks.

So I'm not the only one that messed up , I captained Pedro for sure I thought Palmer would've been a little too hyped after the hat trick but stupid thinking got the best of me. Arsenal's defence was the first thing I thought about seeing they have the double so it was a no brainer, it's just having that tie breaker player that will probably make the difference.

I mean in my case, it might not be that, I could still easily switch things up, if either of the two defender aren't in the starting line up, I could opt for an extra midfielder or possibly another striker, after all their are still so many differentials that one could possibly switch from Arsenal, both in midfield and in attack, so my hands are surely not tied right now (it's about looking for and nailing a really good differential, like Trossard or Havertz on a good day  ), and who is to say Arsenal aren't going to concede any goal in either of the games

Yes very true indeed it's never too late to adjust on the fly, it's just nailing the right combination of players now and hoping it works . Arsenal's defence should get at least a clean sheet in one of these games and as far as offence not sure who I would go with been kind of a guessing game for me at least, choose one player the other goes off vice versa lol.

You're not alone in dropping Palmer, because our mind was on Mbeumo but unfortunately he was made captain and Pedro would have been a good point.

Now I only expect Manchester City and Liverpool strikers... honestly in the last two rounds many Chelsea players have gotten a lot of points especially Palmer.

Next week Palmer will not be missed again.

6 points separating 12 people

We all saw it coming, with 3 Arsenal and 3 Chelsea players being the only options in this round.
Not many permutations there, maybe somebody will go crazy on Madueke/Trossard when Arsenal lineups come out but most will probably play it safe.

Skip this one and let's move on to the next round..

I love going different players compared to everyone else but already 1st this week so probably sensible to do the template arsenal players
