At the end of the first round, I don't think we saw any big surprises. Perhaps we expected more from Liverpool, and much more from Chelsea.

Here is the ranking table (do you like this format?):

I'm fuck, there goes my captain for the game week, I can only imagine the amount of points he would had picked up in this game. If only he was fit, goals and assists would had been following everywhere. Just glad I got something from this game with João Pedro and I was almost running crazy when that second goal went in because Sanchez is my goalie for the game week but it got ruled out as offside (what a relief). What a game this was, Chelsea showed great fighting spirits and are looking promising (better than their last game).

I just sent Palmer packing and brought in Kudus for GW3 

Chelsea conceded a shocking early goal first but it was an amazing comeback later on. Now it is even 4-1 in the second half.

It is Joao Pedro's day as it seems. He wasn't good at all against Crystal Palace however it was pretty much the same for the rest of the team as well.

Palmer got injured during warming up for the match but this still didn't affect the team performance badly at all.

West Ham should be relegated already by default, after their first two of the season they’re undeserving of top flight football, take West Ham and give us Derby 😒

Is this already final?
I may not have won in any of the previous Sportsbet.io EPL pools, but I've always felt that the 1st place prize could be higher, maybe around like 50% of the prize pool. Personally, I think 20% for 1st place feels a little low considering the effort it takes to get there. It would be nice if finishing 1st felt more rewarding.

That's just my personal thought though I’ll respect whatever the you or your group decides for the prize pool distribution.

You didn't say the most important part. That happens when you have a player from some other club (Eze) that goes to another club you already have 3 players from (Arseanl). You can play with those 4 players from that club but as soon as you transfer one of them out it is over

I said my team, not FPL ownership.

And what are the chances that 20-30% of FPL cannot make stupid moves ? 52% of us are still with Joao Pedro

Frimpong out for Liverpool until after the international break, great news for Salah owners, he can have the flank all to himsel.

How do they say it again? It isn't how you start but how you finish right?. We have 37 more games to play and after those games obviously, you aren't going to be at the bottom.

P.S. Igebotz Palmer and Wirtz battle still nil-nil

Transfer hijack of the window, If you ask me. It was almost certain that Eze was headed to Tottenham in due time, and Arsenal offered both Palace and Eze an offer better than what Tottenham proposed to get a verbal agreement within hours.

Nottingham Forests after being silent all this while are now making signings here and there, Except Morgan-Gibbs White leaves I’ll probably never consider Douglas Luiz in my team, my potential 3 Nottingham slots are booked.

The news I was waiting for... Viktor Gyokeres is now a penalty taker (and with Havertz injured he will probably get a lot more minutes)

Wasn't West Ham playing in Europe a few seasons ago ?

As for Everton, I don't know they always the do it, they surely always do find a way to survive and I don't think this season would be any different, I think it's always that the tend to have some good defense, and even when they don't score the most amount of goals every season, they don't concede the most either, they always magically get their selves just about the right amount of 1-0 victories that is always in the end enough to keep them in the top flight for another season, that's why till date they remain one of the few teams to have never been relegated from the premier league.

If only it were that easy to have a shot on goal against Man City to begin with, but I like your optimism I must say, and I mean for what its worth @ 10 Odds, maybe not too bad.

It pains me so much that Arteta may actually be considering this.

I would prefer we go for Alvarez, who is unhappy in Atletico Madrid.

I promised my free bet to Jayce but I caught myself too late... so I bet on Watkins to score the first goal in the upcoming match (odds 5.5).

If that happens then I get a decent fee, and if not then the chances of Watkins being left without points increase significantly (at this stage it is profitable for me because I do not have it).

Same here, finally a win after a series of draws and a loss, which all started after playing against you. And more importantly, it was  win against direct oponnent in the fight fo the promotion. Lost some money via hedge betting, but it was worth it.

This round I expect another close game, and another very important one as mv1986 is not far behind.

Haaland is a must-buy though, huh... who do I sacrifice for him eventually?

Everton are rubbish aren’t they, should have been relegated but escaped narrowly a few times in recent seasons. Hopefully this is the season they finally get dumped

Might submit my predictions now actually, cheers.

From those games alone, it was not a bad start to the season. The Premier League just started, give the teams a chance to get going 

Speaking of Eddie Howe, I think there's a time when Man United is ready to take Eddie Howe in, for him bring the club to its former greatness.  What a time would it be..  And under an English manager too. 

My old friend Igebotz leads with one game left in this round.

If my exact prediction is correct I will win the yellow cap (I just locked my pick so I can see his pick haha).

I will be watching the game tonight with interest.
