THE ROAD TO ISTANBUL & GDANSK 2021

[Johnners]

How many goals in total will be scored in the 2 Champions & 2 Europa games this week.

Nine.

a big BUMP needed for this to reach 10 by 1900hrs today. Is it likely ?

Nein.

[theo29]

after PSG & City it is Funf,..... anyone remember ITMA ?

[theo29]

and the correct answer is 16 with Man Utd contributing 6 of them. Another opportunity coming up next week with the possibility of extra time and penalty shoot-outs.

[theo29]

the second legs of all 4 games Tuesday to Thursday. Can FISO rustle up at least 6 forecasts how many goals including extra time and shoot-outs ?

[Oxford NZ]

Thirteen ( unlucky for some:) )

[murf]

6

Never change your answer!

10
(if they only score 3 then I'm going to claim I've submitted my answer in binary)

As long as you aren't using Base 5 as you'd be copying me!

Second leg is usually only half as interesting as the first leg.

[theo29]

BUMP and I will go for 14. Entries close before Chelsea play tomorrow.

[Johnners]

All the best options have gone, but serves me right for leaving this to the last minute.

I'll take lucky seven please.

[theo29]

tbf gets it right with 9. No Gdansk trip for the Gunners but will Chelsea & City meet in Istanbul, Wembley or Villa Park ?

[morganb]

I'll updated the chart at the start of next week

thank you morganb for the pretty charts which show that I came last in my own competition ! No matter..........I can use this very select band in the forthcoming 2021 Tour de France.
It is an understatement to say that I am very disappointed in the FISO hordes when it comes to getting a decent entry for light hearted comps and this one is a good example.
It is still not known whether the Istanbul road will give way to somewhere else for the Champions final but congratulations to WAHINE
and her excellent selection.

[Oxford NZ]

^ Many thanks for coming last Theo, it saved me from holding that title.
It seems to be harder to drum up enthusiasm in FISO atm, FPL overload from an "interesting" season has taken its toll.
Hardly anyone posting in the Divisional Championships thread and a high work load to run it.
Anyway - Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to Onz and Theo

[theo29]

the thread title is now incorrect with Porto taking the place of Istanbul. So will we be having something to add some interest to the final ?

Having some Port to add interest? A nice LBV?

[theo29]

we have arrived at Gdansk for the Europa final on Wednesday. What is your forecast for this ?

My forecast is light rain showers and a moderate breeze

murf has kindly given us the weather forecast and perhaps he might like to speculate on whether 'the Fergie Factor' will play any part in the outcome this evening. Will 'time' play a part.?

[morganb]

Is there going to be a Road to... for the Euros? I think the format would work.

Sadly I can't bring myself to forecast anything good. I want Villarreal to win but....

I want sun but am sure it will rain.

[morganb]

Are penalties included in the goals count?

[theo29]

yes they all count.That 21 goal burst may have changed the table somewhat. And murf's choice won the trophy too !

Indeed. Great to see Bert Moreno beating Man U almost on his own.

Loved Rio defending De Gea after the shoot out "it's not his job to score penalties". No Rio, it's his job to save them, something he has failed to do since 2015 despite 11 goes last night.

Just checked and Man City was the only finalist picked in the competition

[morganb]

No change after the two finals so here is the final chart - congratulations to wahine!

[morganb]

Don't forget to enter the Euros equivalent
