I thought the same but then heard we were the team they had the worst record against in the EPL. With no wins in 2018 we have the worst away form out of the top 4 english leagues...
and across the top 5 Europe leagues...

Only team across those leagues without an away point in 2018 I think I read.
Arsenal 4 - West Ham 0
Aubamayang, Xhaka
2-1
Ramsey, Aubameyang
Arsenal 5 Westham 1
Aubameyang, Iwobi

Ok, we've got Atletico, then ManU, then Atletico.
Bonus rounds for all 3!
Bonus Round rules are;
Double points, pick the half time AND full time score (at 90mins only), pick three players.
ALSO: For the FIRST Atletico game, add your guess for the aggregate score across both legs (at 180 mins, not including possible extra time/penos), if you hit this it's 10 additional points.
Important: No one is allowed to pick the same score for the individual games (aggregate is ok), and no one is allowed to pick the exact same 3 players as someone else, so it's first in, first served.
But lets make it that you can't pick all 3 games right away now, you have to wait until each game has gone, then pick the next one, unless you are not going to be able to make it back in between games, that's fine, just let us know.
Brumbys has a huge lead but good results in the 3 bonus rounds would change all that very quickly... late bonus rounds gifted me the title last season ;)
Good luck all!
Paul can you give us an example of how you'd like the first one articulated?
Ok, I'll make my pick to show the preferred way;
Arsenal 3 (1) Atletico Madrid 1 (1)
Lacazette, Xhaka, Ramsey
Aggregate: Arsenal 5 Atletico 2
Arsenal 2 (1) Atletico Madrid 1 (0)
Lacazette, Ozil, Welbz
Aggregate: Arsenal 3 Atletico 2
Arsenal 1(0) - Atletico 1(1)
Lacazette, Ramsey, Welbeck
Aggregate: Arsenal 1-4 Atletico
Arsenal 2(1) - Athletico 0(0)
Lacazette, Ramsey, Ozil
Aggregate: Arsenal 4 Athletico 4 (arsenal ahead on away goals)
Everyone's locked and loaded, good sh*t.
Brumbys re: your 4-4 pick, we won't take the actual make-up of the separate scores into account for the aggregate score picks i.e. if it was 4-4 but Atletico won on away goals, or if it was both 2-2's and went to ET, you still get the points for picking the aggregate.
Arsenal 1 Atletico Madrid 1
Lacazette goal, Wilshere assist
AJC with the big pick...16 points for him (4 for picking the draw, 10 for picking the FT score, 2 for Laca's goal). The rest of us all got just the 2 points for Laca's goal.
Brumbys 161
Ajc 136
Paulm 131
Kwlap 130
Foal 97
Now in for your ManU pick, bonus round again, same rules.
How quickly things can change. Making a late charge! Think I'm the most likely to get something from the aggregate pick too.
Arsenal 0 (0) United 3 (1)
Aubamayang, Cech, Iwobi
ManU 2 (1) Arsenal 3 (2)
Aubameyang, Iwobi, Xhaka
United 2(1)-0(0) Arsenal
Aubameyang, Ramsey, Welbeck
United 3(1)-1(1) Arsenal
Aubameyang, Laca, Nacho
ManU 2 (1) Arsenal 1 (0)

Well I'd say that's a game where my policy of always picking us to win has cost me. If ever there was a sure thing, it was that we wouldn't win this game. We nearly bloody could've in the end though. ManU were pretty poor and we had the chances to do it.
Atletico 1 (1) Arsenal 2 (0)
Lacazette, ozil, ramsey
Atheltico 2 (1) Arsenal 1 (1)
Lacazette, Ramsey, Ozil
Atheltico 0 (0) Arsenal 1 (2)
Nacho,Ozil, Bellerin
Atletico 1 (1) Arsenal 0 (0)
No goals/assists
No one picked the Aggregate.
No one picked 2nd leg full time score.
I picked the HT score ;)
Brumbys correctly picked a loss.
No other points.

Arsenal 3 Burnley 2
Chambers, Auba, Iwobi
Well this looks done and dusted, only kwlap, ajc and I can interchange positions really.
Brumbys cant be caught, he's had an astonishing season. Some of those picks have been outrageous.
I don't think it's fair to suggest more big point rounds that give anyone the opportunity to catch him, he's earned this.
But what about if we try some other interesting lower point stuff for the remaining matches, for fun?
How about... normal picks have the normal points, but we add a few categories?
Whoscored.com also give a MOTM, which is the player that gets the highest rating for the game. We could pick a player from each team that might get it? 2 points if you pick him?
Whoscored also registers "error that leads to goal" as a statistic. For our players we could do -1 if they get one of these?
To make that stat more viable, lets make it that we add a third player, and it has to be a defender or keeper?
Also we could pick 3 players from the opposite team for the regular points system as well? (1 has to be a keeper/defender)
Maybe I'm over-complicating for nothing, if people think its a bit lame just say and we won't count it, totally cool - perhaps majority can rule? If you're keen, make picks like this;
Arsenal 4 Burnley 2
Aubameyang, Iwobi, Chambers
Wood, Barnes, Long
MOTM: Aubameyang, Wood
Sounds good to me.
1-1
Ramsey, Aubameyang, Mustafi
Wood, Tarkwoski, Barnes
MOTM: Maitland-Niles, Tarkowski
0-2
Wood wood wood
Wood, wood wood
MOTM: Wood
so confused.... am i doing it right?
Arsenal 3 Burnley 2
Chambers, Auba, Iwobi
Additionally;
Wood, Barnes, GK (can’t figure out who starts for them)
Edit: MOTM: Auba, Wood
0-2
Wood wood wood
Wood, wood wood
MOTM: Wood

ah shark, he didnt even make the match day squad!
Ok there was a bit in there this game, so will spell this out carefully so I don't c*ck it up;
Arsenal 5 Burnley 0
1 point for anyone correctly picking the Arsenal win, and 5 points for anyone who picked 5-0 (no one).
Aubameyang: 2 goals, 1 assist
Lacazette: 1 goal, 1 assist
Bellerin: 2 assists
Iwobi: 1 goal
Kolasinac: 1 goal
Wilshere: 1 assist
Cech, Kolasinac, Mavropranos, Chambers, Bellerin and Mertesacker all 2 points for the clean sheet.
According to Whoscored.com, there were no "errors leading to goals" in this match.
No Burnley players scored any points under our system.
Whoscored.com MOTM was Aubameyang with a rating of 9.5.
So based on the above, these were our scores;
Brumbys: 9
Paulm: 9
Ajc: 3
Kwlap: 0
Standings:
Brumbys 192
Ajc 155
Paulm 152
Kwlap 136
Foal 97
What did people think of that? Should we do it again for the last 2 games?
Kwlap your all-in Wood pick was a bit of a bummer there to say the least!
Alright, Leicester away on Thursday morn. Same deal?
Ajc I'm hunting you down for 2nd, Arsenal-style 2015/16.
Leicester 1 Arsenal 4
Aubameyang, Lacazette, Kolasinac
Vardy, Mahrez, Maguire
MOTM: Mahrez, Lacazette
Leicester 2 Arsenal 1
Aubameyang, Mhki, Chambers
Mahrez, gray, Schmicel
MOTM: Mahrez, Ozil
I'm not sure Ozil is going to play kwlap... Wenger said he may not play again this season, and his message on social media seems to back that up... he's got a back complaint and is trying to sort it for the world cup.
I could be wrong of course!
