Steem Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 1 Review and Match Prediction Results

in #sfpl7 years ago (edited)

Gameweek 1 is over

The overview of the SFPL Table was written by @arsenal49.


Not many had predicted a Burnley victory against Chelsea including two red cards. As well as not a lot had predicted seven goals in Arsenal-Leicester (4-3), or six goals in Watford-Liverpool (3-3), but that's the beauty of Premier League. Somebody did actually manage to predict this first match week very well in our Steemit Fantasy League besides the crazy results.

Three of the managers managed to score at least 80 points. "Asamtho Steemit FC" (81 points), "Hellas but not least" (81 points) and 11 "Jarv Specials" (80 points) did extremely well. The two leading teams both had Lukaku on their team while the rest of the teams in the top three looked completely different to one another. "Jarv Specials" managed to score 80 points without Lukaku. Ben Davies, who scored a goal, Eriksen with two assists and Agüero being the ones that secured him a great first match week. "Jarv Specials" was one of two teams in the top 10 that hadn't included Lukaku in their team for the first match week. Stil he managed to get a great start. Let's take a closer look at the two leading teams.

"Asamtho Steemit FC"

This team is dominated by Manchester United and Liverpool players. To have a lot of Manchester United players is a great choice as they will meet their first contender for the title in October. Liverpool is playing Crystal Palace where I expect an easy win for Liverpool against Crystal Palace who looks extremely bad and need a lot of time to adjust to their new style of playing. He also has two Everton players who play Manchester City away next week. He might want to change them, maybe not? On the bench he has Mustafi who might switch with Keane. His midfield is strong. Mané and Salah will be great players to have on your team for next week. Congratulations on your great start.

"Hellas but not least"

This team is a bit of a mix. Players from Arsenal, Chelsea, City, United, Spurs and even Huddersfield. His attack of Lukaku, Mounie and Lacazette is looking strong. Lukaku will keep scoring, Mounie might score more goals next week against Newcastle at home. Lacazette looked dangerous and might score again against Stoke away. Another team playing away is Chelsea against Tottenham He picked Willian and Rüdiger to be on his team who might not have the greatest match week of them all next week after the disaster against Burnley. His bench is weak, and he might have to be active on the transfer market unless he believes in Chelsea. We never know. Also congratulations to you on your great start!

The Prediction Game

This was a real roller-coaster after the surprising results of Chelsea losing against Burnley.
No one had gotten that one correct!

In the end, there were 2 players that had 7 correct guesses and 2 players with 6 correct guesses!
Since there were so many draws we decided to award all 4 players this gameweek. The prize is half of the SBD from that post (which is yet to be paid out) divided to 70% to the 2 players with 7 correct guesses and 30% to the players with 6 correct guesses.

Usually it will have a 50%/30%/20% payout per amount of correct guesses.

The winners are:

@tzap90 and @sirpaul with 7 correct guesses!

and @miniature-tiger and @arfa with 6 correct guesses!

Congratulations!

Payouts will be sent after the post is paid out.


Next post should be up on Thursday for Gameweek 2 Preview and another round of Match Prediction!

The premier league could be even more unpredictable this season and I think over the last few seasons the playing field has levelled somewhat. It's exciting but predicting it isn't easy! Still, I'm enjoying the challenge of trying

GREAT award winning post! Follow me @lurehound

it was a great opening into a new season- some big games, a lot of goals and a disaster for chelsea. it will be fun to participate in this contest. thx for the organization and good luck to all managers.

P.S. All of you are welcome to participate in my Steem Football Prediction Challenge: Premier League 2017/2018. Tour #2 with 10 SBD guaranteed prize pool.

Definitely some unexpected results for the first games of the season,but that's the beauty of the premiership you never know what will happen,thanks for sharing.

I didn't realize how many participants are in it! Great job organizing this league! It is gonna be a great season! Some of you guys absolutely crushed it!!

What if change my team so i can take off Salah and Lukaku and put in Willian and Kane?
Great idea i said to myself....now im 43rd .

Champions League is coming and would be great to have a fantasy competition there too (it is on uefa official site). @acidyo i will gladly organize that and use you as an escrow. What do you say?

Yea I removed Lukaku as well. Shitty decision.

So many people participating in that contest omg! :d
Not a bad opening for a new season bthw heh.

The gameweek 1 has been such a big surprice. Only both Manchester teams winning a kind of predictable.

more interesting game to come. 😃

I agree, although the fashion in which Manchester United won was a bit surprising. I thought it would be a much closer match! Cheers!

I suck at predicting games haha. A friend of mine betted on a match this week and won 100€ with only 70 cents! I should ask him to fill in this contest ;)

Since am a big fan of Manchester United i predict it was going to win. Congratulations to the winners @tzap90, @sirpaul, @miniature-tiger and @arfa!
