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 Wednesday 2026-04-15, 23:59 GMT
- Pick one team from each of the two matches.
*Away*
- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked 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.)
We go to Belgium, Poland, Austria and their competitive leagues, as
well as Portugal for the Lisbon derby.

I am tempted to ask the reason of this choice, but I've learned by now
that the actions of the [redacted] gamemaster are inscrutable...
This season there's a lot of talk about the crazy competitiveness of
the Polish league, so I wanted to go there. My next preference was
Scotland, but the league is apparently off next week. Austria and
Belgium also look quite competitive, and I went POrtugal just so that
I could include the Lisbon derby.

Meanwhile, our good friends from the Paraguayan league gave us this:

In the last few seasons, I have regularly alternated between weeks
with top-5 leagues and weeks with leagues ranked 6-10 (roughly) in
choosing the Cup fixtures.

So you do think Argentina and Brazil rank in the top 5 then? You
haven't left much room for them in the next 5. Not to mention Uruguay, >Paraguay and Chile.

I should have known this would be coming. Anyway, average
TransferMarkt value of some select European and South American leagues (current UEFA coefficient in parentheses):
Portugal (6) 3.83m
Netherlands (7) 2.64m
Belgium (8) 2.33m
Turkey (9) 2.68m
Czechia (10) 0.89m
Greece (11) 1.24m
Poland (12) 0.75m
Denmark (13) 1.28m
Norway (14) 0.82m
Cyprus (15) 0.38m
Switzerland (16) 1.12m
Austria (17) 1.05m
Brazil 2.93m: solidly a 6-9 league
Argentina 1.06m: somewhere between 10 and 17
The other South Americans are quite clearly outside the top 15.
Chile 0.38m
Paraguay 0.36m
Uruguay 0.36m
Mexico (1.95m) and USA (1.62m) would have a stronger case for being in
the top 10 than Argentina and the other South Americans.

Which just proves that money isn't everything. Otherwise Cyprus would
be lower and Switzerland would be higher for instance.
Anyway why didn't you pick the Brazilian League then?
