The Dutch Eredivisie

Do you follow all these leagues? How do you predict the leagues you don't watch?

Here's an example, it gives info in terms of odds and form guide. Obviously we can look these up ourselves but it's handy in one place. As a Premium Member I also have access to PL and CL match previews, which are handy. I sometimes read them but I make the decision myself. They're a nice supplement though.

So a pretty mediocre night last night. 4 greens and 6 reds. To be fair, though, the outcomes I got wrong were mostly pretty big upsets. It can take a lot of courage to predict an upset as the odds are against it and you know most will predict the sensible outcome, so if it goes tits up you know you lose ground to the majority of people. I have did it before, but it's not something I make a habit of. Changing to Aberdeen 2-1 last minute from 1-1 was inspired.

Udinese were 2-0 up the pricks.

Yeah it was one of those.

That's why some PL weeks are higher than others in scores on there - some weeks have more 'straightforward games' and other weeks have tighter games in general.

For what it i worth I did have a good Serie A gameweek in general - I moved up 24 places in one of my mini-leagues (almost 200 people in it) and I was the third-highest scored (equal with three others) with nine points. So it was pretty good. However, I do have red arrows for the Scottish league.

I am sure it will come back around - some weeks are good, some are not so good.

Also, most of what I got wrong is Scottish football - which ironically is what I tend to know least about.
