I'm going to update my spreadsheet tomorrow but some interesting results today:

First off Bochum - What I'm calling LCS70 when the favourite is in the position of needing to score for either a win or a draw and the last goal was scored between 45-59. First trade is a win.

Second Heidenheim - Same again, this time it was 2-2. Not a scoreline I'm a fan of but when it's not the HT score somehow it seems to work better. Goals breed goals. 2-3 in the 72nd. Another win.

Game in Hungary didn't qualify and neither did Feyenoord or Willem.

Atalanta had an early goal but the 2nd FHG wasn't forthcoming. 2nd half didn't qualify. Loser there.

AZ didn't qualify.

Bursaspor had a late FHG and a LCS with goal coming on 68.

LASK Linz goals too early FH and none 2nd so a loser there.

Rijeka. FHG winner and 2nd half LCS loser.

Successful 2nd FHG in Wolfsburg.

Early goal in Barca but no more in FH. LCS winner 2nd half.

Saprissa FHG and LCS70 after away levelled early at 1-1.

Some good results and a few that could be avoided perhaps. Barca FHG came just before entry point. Will keep an eye on this but the earlier the goal the more chance of another. Of course this also knocks out Wolfsburg. Less is more though so....

Rijeka. Not many games 0-2 @ HT and the ones I have are showing 50/50 right now for a simple LCS.

Todays papertrading plan. It's big but no money changing hands and I intend to find out as much as I can during this phase. Plus most of them will probably fall away as non qualifiers.

Not going into any detail as off to bed but Herediano currently 0-0HT is on my plan for a H2 goal LCS67th min or LCS75th.

That would have been a nice winner with goal coming 84th minute. Stops the rot of the 0-0 from 60 curse right now too.

So this is what came of todays papertrading plan. Another day, another 0-0. Getting beyond a joke now haha!

First off Carlisle. Let the side down. Scored early but then didn't follow suit by scoring another later one.

Mechelen drew a blank as pointed to above. Nil f*****g Nil haha!

Fener scored a FHG on the stroke of HT but then the dreaded curse of 1-0 happened which is almost as bad as 0-0.

After that there were a few good ones. Montpellier, Lens scoring in the 67th (that minute again), Netanya scoring a 3rd in the 83rd and Juve scoring a 2nd at the death.

Before Nancy & Paris FC brought things back to earth with a fud and a 1-1.

Here we go again. Busy saturday. Can my plan hold it's own. Papertrading only:

Any questions please ask as I can't go through it all every day - Simply takes too long.

[Richard Latimer]

Quite a bit to go through tomorrow but way too tired now.

[Richard Latimer]

Nothing else qualified from my plan so it's a nice 100% haha!

At the beginning I was only tracking draws from early Nov. For the remainder of that year, including all leagues I had 78% from 60th and 74% from 67th.

Purely for January, using the exact same criteria it's 50% from 60th and 46% from 67th haha!

That's 0-0's by the way.

[Martin Walker]

My strike rate is 75% and my 0-0s are 70% so theyre dragging me down a bit

@richard-latimer I didn't mention the nil nils in my post but they've also been crap for me. Sure that will change...

My one FHG papertrade for the day is in. A good start haha!

And as per my post this morning it wouldn't qualify for SHG play unless further goals scored prior to 60th minute.

[Richard Latimer]

[Richard Latimer]

After reading the discussion on Dari's thread I feel somewhat more confident this will all come good in the end and that what I have is a very decent platform from which to keep going. 0-0's have been incredibly poor at present but I'll keep tracking everything. There are leagues where certain things are working and certain things aren't.

All I can do is keep following the data wherever it leads me as long as it is logical to do so.

Not feeling the love in Eredivisie right now for tight games at 1/0/0-0. Sparta with an unexpected blank!

Gremio had loads of goals but they all came just that little bit too early or that little bit too late.

For Fri:

There are more on my list but I'm getting this one out there early. Looking for results to start levelling out at some point. Expect a FHG or 2nd FHG if the early one is missed.

0-0 @ HT will require at least one early goal before I deem it a trade. Other scorelines so far ok....

The red is there to signify in this case that Bengal have moved up a league, hence Goa (Odisha) more likely to score. Or at least think they can and leave the back door open. I really don't care which it is.

Small change to what I said above, without an early goal in 2nd half I wouldn't touch this. Ave home goals are high and to the point where I have been seeing a drop off for ages. Goals breed goals but where there are no goals and the level of expectation for goals goes through the roof, there are often no goals period haha!

There will be 4 or 5 goals after 60mins now of course haha!
