Any teams with nothing to play for are now out of the equation:
Basel only have 2nd to play for but they within touching distance of St. Gallen and that's something I'd say they will go for. Trying to finish as high up the table as possible when close to the top is a little different to being stuck in mid table I believe. I read a preview of the game and the write up there says Basel are going for a strong end to the season.
Arsenal on the surface have nothing to play for last game but this time I would beg to differ. We've not finshed as low as 10th since 1995 so the idea of finishing that low is horrendous and will be for the players. 8th is bad enough!
Players will want to keep motivation going for the FA Cup Final in a weeks time and some will be playing for their places in that final. I am happy we will leave blood on the pitch tomorrow!

@finn-kristensen Works the other way too, lots more pens been awarded since VAR
Honestly... don't care right now. They need to figure this thing out. Totally destroying the joy of football the way it's being used. You can never enjoy a goal anymore because maybe one attackers fingernail wasn't cut short enough this morning and so he was offside.
Not really clear and obvious errors is it
No, that's the problem. It is pretty much used at every goal now where they have to look it through, even when nobody was concerned any fouls had been made. They should take inspiration from tennis and let each team have 1 possible call for VAR per match - if the call is correct, i.e. there was some kind of foul committed (if that is the question), then the team calling for VAR will still have a call left, but if it was wrongly called, they lose their option to call for more. That would mean they'd only use it if they are certain something is wrong and they won't be using it for questionable/doubtful offenses.
It's gone too much like NFL now where plays are brought back constantly for something no one saw at the time and that has to be replayed and slowed down 100 times.

Great day for the 2nd half filter derived from Martins late goals filter. 3 live trades and one tracked for future:
HJK leading 1-0 at half - finished 2-0 with a goal after 87. Paper trade.
Wigri Suwalki 0-0 @ HT. Pen on 65.
Termalica BB 0-0 @ HT. Almost forgot this one and they usually they score earlier when I do this. Luckily held off until 73 after a goal got cancelled just as I remembered.
Genoa - Inplay stats for H2 were crappy and really didn't get massively better but I decided motivation was key for this one and Genoa needed to do something if they want to avoid relegation. They obviously did something because Inter scored twice more after taking off attacking players. -

Oh yeah I HATE it too! I think every single football fan is in agreement, the problem is I don't see it going away now that it's in

Sassuolo 3 (!) goals disallowed for offside. All of them borderline/questionable. That VAR thing...it's a f*ing joke. Always appears to be benefitting the defense. Hate it.

Absolutely zero value in the Napoli match and after the Fenerbache match absolutely no reason to get involved as it’s been more than successful. I’ll catch you all tomorrow. Go well to those with matches to come.

That's me for the day. Nice and green. Would have been more without Viborg but at least I got Stal Mielec on the Sports book.
I did have Braga on the filter for a late goal but without anything to play for on either side I'll most likely leave that alone now.

@ben-dobie Wasn't on my list of matches but when i was looking at the latest scores and saw the league table, checked inplay stats lots of efforts on goal and late in the match think i got in on 80mins all things looked ok for me to trade this one
