Isn't this the moment when the manager picks the XI and sends the
teamsheet? A manager can be asked to do it for match B before
postponed match A is played, no?

I thought the match started when the gamemaster posts the
games to predict. After all, by the time the match in the real
world starts, there's nothing that the coaches of The Doctor
and Mark can do to influence the outcome. The playing the game
part is making our predictions.
I'm not sure that a manager can be asked to pick the team for
match B before postponed match A is played. What if a player
gets injured in match A?
Conventional wisdom is to take each game as it comes. The
result of the previous game could influence a manager's
approach to the game.

You do realise it is only a light-hearted internet game, right?
There is no actual prize and you are not the manager of a real
football team. You don't have to over-think everything!!!

approach to the game.
In the real world, Managers/Head Coaches often have their eye
on their next game when it comes to team selection, even if they
say they don't. Well, at the big clubs that have squads big
enough for 'rotation'. (The word that every FPL Manager dreads
the consequences of!)
There is no actual prize and you are not the manager of a real
football team. You don't have to over-think everything!!!
Yes but it's more fun if you pretend you are the manager of a real
football team, and take each match seriously. UPT should be realistic,
and playing 2 matches simultaneously isn't realistic.

Both Silver Skull and I forgot to pick. I just asked ChatGpt to pick a
number between 1 and 4, and it picked 3. So, Silver Skull gets Club
Nacional (the third team in the list), I get Guarani. The match kicks
off in a few hours, which should be enough proof (in case you don't
trust the honesty of the gamemaster) that I didn't rig the draw.

This post me inspired my truest statement about LLMs ever: "The only
thing LLMs suck at more than being deterministic is being random."
I hope one day you'll learn about coins, random.org, etc.
(Anyway: at least share the conversation with ChatGPT...)

milivella takes advantage of the fact that he was playing against a
stupid BOT and puts some points on the board.
Quickie additional comment: we all ended up Club Nacional-Guarani and
the Uruguayan Clasico. The latter sounded like a typical Classico:
tight match, decided by a late goal, cards of all colors flying.
As for Club Nacional-Guarani, the goal for the home team was scored by
Roque Santa Cruz. Yes, that Roque Santa Cruz, still going strong at
the tender age of 44...
