Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 56 - League NED/ENG2 Match Day 4 (2023/12/16-17)

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

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/12/13, 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 2023/12/16
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a tie, diregard the last vote)
=- 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.

lol!
However, I can see "excelsior" ("even upward") to be interpreted as
never turning back as well... :)

Why are there so many English matches? I thought that was just for when there aren't enough balanced Dutch League games.

Anyway I'll go for Almere.

I've been doing this two-league thing for about the past 10 UPT seasons. But, since you asked an interesting and pertinent question, Mark UPT FC will start its upcoming match with a 1 goal advantage over its opponent.

2. Go Ahead Eagles

But you asked me to choose "the league", in the singular! I am only
half-benefitting from my exceptional run last season!!!

Of course this picking match has already begun, so the upcoming match is
the one in matchday 5...

You also indicated the English Championship as your second preference,
and worried that I would pick different matches just to spite you.
Instead of thanking me for accommodating your preferences, I get this!
That's almost deserving of a point penalty...

That would be grossly unfair to Mark's opponent in Match Day 5!

It was actually one day + 9 hours...

Given the extra 24 hours, I think you need a Trillion by now?
