Soccerball 2020

All the leagues are coming back and I'm just going to play against the teams that got fat during the quarantine because they had nothing to play for when they came back. It worked great at first in the Bundesliga and has been less profitable in recent weeks, but is still doing ok.

In the premier league, with Man City having uncertainties over their ability to play in the Champion's league next season, all the spots up to fifth are to play for with no real incentive for the teams below Arsenal to try and get a Europa league spot because that is horrible for smaller English Clubs. I'm going to be playing against the 5 bold teams below:

2019-2020 GP W D L F A GD P
1 Liverpool 29 27 1 1 66 21 +45 82

Don't know nearly as much about La Liga, but there does appear to be a wide group of teams that aren't going into Champions League and won't go down. . . like Real Betis who lost today

Somehow I can't post tables anymore , but in the Bundesliga, It's going against everyone from Wolfsburg to Koln

It's been super hard to pick these out of shape and focus teams.

Like Juve a few days ago, 0-0 after dominant match vs early red carded Milan (+missed pk for CR7)...

Playing Real Sociedad -135 and HT/FT +162


80min 'kusen 1-1, one more....


GL :0008

 

[BigGaycapper]

I like this angle BBC, thanks for sharing and I will follow along

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

La Liga handed it to me this weekend and I wasn?t excited to see next weeks slate. Sevilla / Levante should have been a play but I forgot. 0-0 at 33? right now and I?ll be playing it 2?d half but won?t count it

 

[Snafu]

what BGC said, i think too it's a good angle and i think it will kick in when good teams get a few more matches under their belts and teams that are out of shape are not getting any better.

Interesting to see Arsenal's form, imo it's been quite indiscipline team with too demanding coach Arteta and i'm not sure how this works out through the rest of the season. -275 for ManC seems too easy...

I'll be rooting for City tomorrow - but first games coming back look to be a crap shoot

Today I'm playing . . . .

Monchengladbach +120
Mallorca +489

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

19-17 +7.48 units

Leverkusen -217
Celta de Vigo +161
Atletico Madrid -119

 

[Crookity]

19-17 +7.48 units

Leverkusen -217
Celta de Vigo +161
Atletico Madrid -119

It is time for Leverkusen to wake up. I think this is a good spot for them , fighting for CL vs Koln that should be lacking any sort of motivation. Good Luck!

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

-275 for ManC seems too easy...

We're gonna win the league. . . We're gonna win the league....

One play today

Real Sociedad -104

 

[Snafu]

edit: shit, mixed 'pool and manc in standings...




Arsenal plays again on saturday after only two days of rest, i'm gonna go with Brighton. Arses form was horrible and team that puts full heart in to game goes long way in this current situation (just what Napoli did).

Brighton +200

GL :toast:


today friday, Barca, Southampton and ManU :0008

 

[BobbyBlueChip]

Norwich City +164

 

[Snafu]

saturday, i had Leicester to win :lol: Brighton :0074


Wolves +112
Bournemouth +150

Parma +254
Cagliari +115


GL to all :toast:
