Chilean league is still off, and Brazil has almost all its matches concentrated before the weekend. So we are doing the NWSL again, and the Uruguayan league.

Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 55 - League CHL/BRA Match Day 5 (2023/9/16-17)

What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/9/13, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2023/9/16
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice)
=- their opponents will represent your opponent

*ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before his/her deadline, the home player will be
represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away player can pick two teams (one from each match),
and he/she will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.

Light and the Thorns (I hadn't realized that the Reign are based in Seattle and this is a local rivalry...)

Any idea why? And talking of which, why were all the Uruguayan League matches postponed this weekend? I was intending to watch Penarol v Defensor Sporting. Anyway, I approve of the NWSL and the Uruguayan League.

Players' strike.
There's a meeting tomorrow to decide if it's continuing.

Tchau!

Decisive AF.

I have some vague PTSD about Zarate scoring against me in fantacalcio,
so I pick Washington Spirit.

May the underdog win.

Haven't a clue and no time to do research.
Danubio first, Gotham second.

And... it continued. So no matches from the Uruguayan league, and another semi- postponed round.

Results for MD5

Tier 1
----
Jesper Lauridsen 2 - 0 Werner Pichler (Portland Thorns - OL Reign)
Mark 2 - 0 milivella (Gotham FC - Washington Spirit)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
10 5 5 4 1 4 Werner Pichler
7 5 6 5 1 5 Mark
5 5 5 5 0 5 Jesper Lauridsen
5 5 3 5 -2 5 milivella

Werner did not make a pick, so Jesper would actually have the option of choosing the best outcome between his two picks (Portland and Liverpool). But Liverpool didn't play. Possible solutions: a) Just give Jesper Portland's points; b) Let Jesper decide whether he wants a full or partial rematch; c) have a full rematch of the Jesper-Werner clash.

The decisive gamemaster decrees that we do a).


Tier 2
----
Futbolmetrix postponed - postponed Jesus Petry (La Luz - Liverpool)
MH postponed - postponed The Doctor (Danubio - Racing CM)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
12 4 11 4 7 4 MH
4 4 5 6 -1 4 Futbolmetrix
3 4 5 6 -1 4 The Doctor
2 4 3 8 -5 4 Jesus Petry

Hm...I think we will do a midweek make up round using European Cups, and go on with MD6 next weekend as planned.

Convenient for you that it's the most anti-milivella decision, but I
think it's actually the right one.

The decisive gamemaster is always supremely unbiased! (and I didn't even notice how the decision affected you)
