^ everyone sniffed out Son which was the problem. Once ywesaw that Plop was playing 3 at the back Moreno as a pick was great. Tadic was a fist pump that didn't work out.

I agree the strikers were awful when picking but at least I guess now we know Roooooonay is finished in LVG's system .... I mean he was just as anonymous as a #10 as he is a #9.

scoring for MLS on DK is just unreal terrible. opta literally has valeri down for 19 crosses and he has 4 according to them. idk the difference in the definitions, but i have seen at least 10 that qualify based on theirs.

Ya this pretty much. He definitely had around ~10 that were legit. I swear to god during MLS games whoever is tallying **** just takes random 5-10 minute breaks and nothing gets scored during those times. Game a few weeks ago (DCU v SJE) they missed about 9 crosses from kemp.

Don't even bother with support they won't do ****.

I got killed pretty badly in EPL this weekend (decent profit on mondogoal as my cash lu won most everything there.)

MLS helped me win some back. The sun games were a bit wacky and my picks just didn't pan out. Sat was just chalk city and 2 of my more contrarian picks dudded (sinclair and sterling). I don't think either was bad in theory but they just completely bricked. Should have gone de bruyne (didnt think he'd start so i didnt set up pivots very well to accomodate). Kolarov was a dud too. City has attacked heavily down the left all year, but this game saw them shifting to the right more. I expect KDB to basically kill kolarovs production.

Spurs have quietly flown under the radar as being a very solid team.

Won nearly everything I touched this week, if not a close 2nd to Ducksauce (0.29 points) in a few Week 6 cash games, due to Silva being injured in warm up.

£10k was a real sweat, Benteke subbed at half time cost me one shot, then needed Pelle, Mane or Coutinhio to score to win. Still have to settle for 2nd place, a nice bankroll boost.

Finished 1/2/2/2 in £10k so far this season, GG Wazzu. I really thought I had that won!

Much better weekend for me, most of my GPP lineups cashed and did well in Double Ups. Upping the number of lineups I enter week-by-week.

I was close with a few teams in top 10, made around £1k profit this weekend despite the issues with City players

I had de bruyne in a few lineups but it was fairly risky to take him this week imo
Pellegrini loves navas for some reason so even if de bruyne had started there were questions about his game time
Obviously silva injury meant that he got a full game at no. 10 though

With silva out and sterling getting subbed off there was a lot more emphasis on attacking down the right than usual

Does anyone not on 2p2 ever win the big MG contests? Congrats to all who did well. Losing weekend for me, but not a disaster. Silva/Kolarov ruined a lot of teams.

Had just shy of 100pts with a team that included silva and benteke (cries himself to sleep)

I thought Sterling was pretty woeful in some spots, he just ran past two people and gave the ball away. It would not surprise me to see him on the bench from time to time when Silva is back.

most of the time he gets the ball his natural instinct seems to be to turn back and play the easy pass rather than try to take people on
his shooting is also pretty bad

definitely far from the finished product, which is expected
hopefully he can improve quickly and reach his potential

Apparently they had an issue with scoring so we're double checking everything which is fair enough.

Although, 3rd week in a row there's been issues pretty much, something's gotta give surely??

They are a new company, there will always be teething issues. I don't think they were fully embraced for impact on opening day, numbers were probably higher than anticipated, so server space was an issue.

Although it can be annoying to not have the scores update fully, they have made everything right. It reminds me of Stars back in the day.

I am sure after a few weeks of it being right, the issues will have been forgotten.

Agreed although I do think they need to do more in terms of customer relations. Not once do they come to their customers explaining anything. You have to contact support etc which one quick email would help

Anyone touching the League Cup or La Liga/Serie A games tonight? Doesn't look like too many opportunities.

I agree with communication, customer's expectations are rarely met. The Twitter account could easily be used to make more public service announcements, just takes a second to Tweet (as I very recently discovered).

I'm really not sure about tonight's games, I really think they dropped the ball here. Two game slates? It looks like they desperately tried to get a game out, rather than taking the opportunity to craft a decent game.

I hope this is improved upon tomorrow. Still saying that, I will likely punt when the lineups are out.
