Ee, aye, andyho,
We won the cup...

Also on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEGmAEgYWuI (this one's
for Blueshirt)

This is Futbolmetrix's first ever Cup title. This is also only the third
ever League+Cup double, after Werner's one in season 55.



Bronze medal matches
Jesper Lauridsen 3-1 Mark (St Etienne 1X-Reims 2)

Cup specialist beats league specialist, what else is new.


5th place playoff
Silver Skull 1-0 The Doctor (Asteras Tripolis X2-Atromitos 1)
Lleo 0-0 Werner Pichler(*) (Torino 1-Parma X2)

Congrats to Silver Skull and Werner for their 5th place finish.

9th place playoff
Homer Simpson 1-1 milivella(*) (Moreirense 1-AVS X2)
Blueshirt 0-1 Jesus Petry (Panserraikos X2-Levadiakos 1)

Congrats to Jesus for his 9th place finish. milivella's entry should be disqualified because in the spreadsheet he sent me he had Moreirense 1 -
AVS 2, but I feel like a benevolent gamemaster and I'll let it stand.

Final

Futbolmetrix - MH
Samsunspor 1-X2 Trabzonspor
Bodrum FK 1-X2 Kayserispor

Trust milivella to pick the most difficult matchups possible for the
home player...

Samsunspor are a bit of a Cinderella story, currently sitting in third
place on the strength of a solid defensive record. Trabzonspor, on the
other hand, are having a disappointing season, only in 13th place
despite the fourth-highest TransefrMarkt value in the league.

Bodrum versus Kayserispor, on the other hand, is a relegation
six-pointer. Not much to say about these two, other than Bodrum was once
known as Halicarnassos, and housed the Mausoleum, one of the seven
wonders of the ancient world. Kayserispor will have to travel all the
way from central Anatolia to the Aegean coast for this one.

All that was interesting, but didn't really help me make my picks in any
way.

Samsunspor and Kayserispor.

I had missed this interesting touch by the guest gamemaster, and went to
look up Barbastro -- how did I miss that such a team was playing in La
Liga?

Homer ignores the guest gamemaster and picks Strasbourg and Moreirense.
I pick AVS and pray.

Go Moreirense!

BEWARE: DIFFERENT DEADLINES THIS WEEK!

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

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
on its side.

*Home*
- Before Thursday 2025-01-02, 11:00 AM GMT
- Pick one team from each of the two matches.

*Away*
- After the home deadline (or even sooner, if the home player has picked
his teams) and before kickoff of the first match
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn'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.

Final

Futbolmetrix - MH
Samsunspor 1-X2 Trabzonspor
Bodrum FK 1-X2 Kayserispor

3rd place match

Jesper Lauridsen - Mark
St Etienne 1X-2 Reims
Kasimpasa 1-X2 Gaziantep BB

5th place matches

Silver Skull - The Doctor
Lens 1-X2 Toulouse
Atromitos 1-X2 Asteras Tripolis

Lleo - Werner Pichler
Crystal Palace 1X-2 Chelsea
Torino 1-X2 Parma

No pick? Parma then.

Ciao,
Werner
