Andy, four paid clubs and six free ones, and two of the four are picks the room did not make: Manchester United on 21 entries and Atletico Madrid on 34. Opta likes United a lot more than Atletico for the money, 3.8% against 0.5% for the title, and the pair is why the projection sits at 50.3 bonus points, 166th of 266, while Joseph Mazzei, seven clubs in common, is fourth.

Thursday, United host Sabah and you hold both, one of seven entries in that position; a United win is the useful one, since 45 entries hold Sabah alone. Bayern against Bodo/Glimt the same day is straightforward, you hold only Bayern and 57 entries hold only Bodo. Wednesday, Atletico at Liverpool is the case for the $35, with 30 entries holding Atletico without Liverpool.
