Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 61 - League ENG/SCO Match Day 1 (2025/1/18-19)

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

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2025/1/15, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2025/1/18
- 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.

time).

Everton

So the blue kid is playing mind games? Pretending to show his hand, as
if David Moyes, the football genius, has transformed the Toffees, and
trick me into picking them. Or is it a triple bluff?

No, I'll ignore these games and stick with my plan. Appearently I'm a
holder of a "SPURS iD" (yes, that's how they spell it), and last week I
saw video on the Dundee derby, so I'll use my experiences from that.

Arabs & Lilywhites

The simplest answer is usually the correct one... I just messed
up! I thought you had picked Tottenham & Dundee, it was Jesus
Petry's post that I had read. (Duh!)

It'd be hard for me to pick Tottenham for anything... except
relegation... ;-)

Arabs & Lilywhites

Good luck!

Does this mean that you are picking Everton?

Well, yes, that was my pick... even though it was a bit
premature.

My motto is, blue is the colour! What can go wrong?
