RED ALERT RED ALERT
Liverpool are playing Wolves Friday night UK time, so if you don't want to miss out on the potential 1-3 points there, then best get in with picks before that kicks off, which is 9am tomorrow morning our time.
Picks for Round 18 (normal picks this week i.e. liverpool/chelsea results only, score + two players for arsenal):
Tonight:
Wolves v Liverpool
Tomorrow night:
Arsenal v Burnley
Chelsea v Leicester City
FYI, I have some work to do... as mentioned before I will put up picks rules for a few rounds worth, hopefully will get that done today/tomorrow, and I'll also update points with the League Cup exit round for Arsenal that we selected in our initial season picks.
My picks:
Liverpool: Draw
Chelsea: Draw
Arsenal 3 Burnley 1
Aubameyang, Lacazette
Ok, as an FYI, these are the initial season picks that I will be able to add in as they come to pass;
10) Arsenal finishing round for League Cup
11) Arsenal finishing round for FA Cup
12) Arsenal finishing round for Europa League
13) Liverpool finishing round for the Champions League
14) R19 and R38 Arsenal position in the EPL
15) R19 and R38 Liverpool position in the EPL
19) Chelsea finishing round for Europa League
And maybe this, but only if things go extremely swimmingly from here!;
16) Round number for St Tott's Day confirmation
So on that note;
Table after Arsenal's League Cup Exit (each person's points in brackets):
Brumbys 110 (0)
Downey26 110 (0)
RonnieMac 101 (0)
Paulm 91 (0)
Kwlap 89 (5)
Ajc28 83 (5)
Surge 75 (5)
That's actually awesome. The bottom 3 all picked correctly, but no one else, so it scrunched the table up nicely. Anyone's game lads!
FYI, the Quarterfinals were actually the 5th round of the comp, so Surge definitely qualifies for the points for saying "Round 5" in his picks.
HOLIDAY PICKS
