Maybe time for some meta strategy? Pick as late as possible and diviate
from my usual clear and concise picks with picks so obscure that
milivella can't figure them out before the deadline.

milivella can't figure them out before the deadline.

Clearly a case of obscure picks:
- "picks so obscure that milivella can't figure them out": this is an *Herculean* task.
- "diviate": the mispelling is a sign that this is a keyword. "Via"
means "road" in Latin, and *Augsburg* (Augusta Vindelibum) was founded
by Romans at an intersection of importan roads.

Jesper is clearly picking Heracles and Augsburg.

I now have more than four days to decide my pick!

Jesus "and of course I mean GAE and Leipzig, but Homer might get

Obvious pick[*] for Homer: Wolfsburg

[*] Homer Simpson. Always picks home teams when he can. When he is the
home side, he picks, in order of the points gaps between the two teams
playing, the two home teams. If he is playing "away", he will pick
the "best" of the two home teams that is available. Failing that he
will pick the "best" (most favourable points gap) of the away teams.

Points gap between Telstar(4) and Go Ahead Eagles(9): -5
Points gap between Wolfsburg(4) and RB Leipzig(9): -5

Table position gap between Telstar(17) and Go Ahead Eagles(9): -8
Table position gap between Wolfsburg(12) and RB Leipzig(3): -9

GD gap between Telstar(-6) and Go Ahead Eagles(+2): -8
GD gap between Wolfsburg(+1) and RB Leipzig(-1): +2


Since points is the first tiebreaker, it stands to reason that GD is
the second tiebreaker, hence Wolfsburg. If things go badly for Homer,
maybe he'll appeal.

I agree, you and your picks are too much of a bait.

In today's episode of "milivella learns": Fuggers : Augsburg :: Medici : Firenze, or something like this.

In today's episode of "milivella doesn't understand": I can't find
anything about "Spangel", but Sparta's stadium is in Spangen.

The nice thing is that right now I'm in a Dutch-speaking city, so I
could ask a native, but I don't want to explain why I spend my days
doing this, so I'll just assume that you meant Sparta (and Augsburg).

I pick Heidenheim.

May the de minst zachte win.

Dear Benevolent Gamemaster, I kindly ask you to reconsider the results

Unfortunately, as said elsewhere, the league is done and dusted, so we
cannot make any changes. Besides, I have deleted the file with all the
results, so I can't even go back and fix it.
