| U'sual Champions League 2020 - Quarter-finals 14:41 - Aug 9 with 2963 views | wessex_exile |
First off, the U'sual Champions League qualifiers for Groups 1 and 2 are as follows:
The format for the Champions League has had to be altered because of the coronavirus pandemic, and all quarter-finals will be played as one-off matches, there will be no second-legs. Needless to say, matches will go to extra-time and even penalties if necessary, to ensure there is a result after each game. All matches will be hosted at a neutral ground, in this instance at Lisbon in Portugal, and will kick-off at 8pm on consecutive nights starting Wednesday 12th August.
The matches to predict are therefore as follows:
12th August 2010: Atalanta v PSG
13th August 2020: RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid
14th August 2020: Barcelona v Bayern Munich
15th August 2020: Man City v Lyon
Predictions will be based on the result at the end of normal time, extra-time and/or penalties will not count. As always, you can only exact match one score prediction with each member of your qualifying group.
With so few points available, for this season I have introduced two new predictions for this round.
1) Choose two goal-scorers for each match, only one of whom can have already been chosen by anyone else in your group. You will receive a bonus point for every goal they score (including own-goals should it happen). Technically, this does allow all members of a group to chose the same goal-scorer, so long as none of your second choices match.
2) For a tie-break, please predict the minute for the first substitution in the last match (Man City v Lyon). If there are no substitutions during normal time the winner will be closest to zero. Half-time substitutions will be counted as the 46th minute, and substitutions in extra-time will be counted as either 45 minutes or 90 minutes. Obviously competitors cannot predict the same minute for a tie-break.
I will monitor predictions and advise if amendments are needed, but please be aware that life sometimes gets in the way, and I cannot guarantee how promptly I may spot if changes are required. If competitors prefer, you may PM me your predictions, which I will only reveal once all competitors in a group have submitted valid predictions. At that point, all predictions will be locked - no further amendments allowed. |  |

A few amendments needed Basher.
Costa and Morata have both already been picked as goal-scorers for Leipzig v Atletico Madrid, so you'll have to change one of them, and it can't be to either Werner or Llorente.
Messi and Suarez have both already been picked as goal-scorers for Barcelona v Bayern Munich, so you'll have to change one of them, and it can't be to Lewandowski or Gnabry.
Man City 2 Lyon 0 is your second exact match with thrillseeker, so you'll have to change that, but as it stands you can change to whatever you like. | |

Cheers BFG - you're okay for tonight, but one minor amendment needed before tomorrow's kick-off. Both Sabitzer and Schick have already been chosen as goalscorers, so you'll have to change one of them - and it can't be to Werner, Felix, Partey or Koke. Otherwise, the rest of the predictions are all good. [Post edited 12 Aug 2020 18:28]

All good apart from the tie-break Lewis. 46 minutes is already taken, as is 58 minutes and 62 minutes, so you'll have to choose another one. | |

Felix is gone I'm afraid BFG - you can keep either Sabitzer or Schick, but the other one will have to be changed, and it can't be to Werner, Felix, Partey or Koke. | |

For other competitors, I have a valid score prediction (2-1) and one goalscorer (Neymar) from sevebalo via FB Messenger for tonights match, just awaiting clarification on the second goalscorer. | |
