The last match of MD2 still to be played, but we can already announce the fixtures for MD3:

Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 53 - League BEL/DEN Match Day 3 (2023/3/18-19)

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

If you don't play in Tier 3, you can also cast your vote for Lassie's pick!

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/3/15, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2023/3/18
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a tie, diregard the last vote)
=- their opponents will represent your opponent

(If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a team, teams are assigned randomly.)

Fixtures
--------

Tier 1

MH - Jesus Petry
Oud-Heverlee Leuven - Anderlecht
Silkeborg - Midtjylland

Mark - Werner Pichler
Copenhagen - Viborg
AGF - OB


Tier 2

Futbolmetrix - milivella

Thanks for managing the game.

If you don't play in Tier 3, you can also cast your vote for Lassie's pick!

I guess you can delete this line. :)

There were actually quite a lot of unbalanced matches in the Belgian League, I could have picked one of them and made it the official selection...I'm getting ol..erm..more experienced.

I pick Midtjylland because they are the nerd team. And Anderlecht, because they feature future 150-point FS player Hannes Delcroix.

On a second thought, not so entertaining.

On a third thought, extremely entertaining!

Match Day 3, Results and standings:

Tier 1
----
MH 3 - 3 Jesus Petry (Midtjylland - Silkeborg)
Mark 1 - 0 Werner Pichler (AGF - OB)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
7 3 7 4 3 2 Jesus Petry
5 3 5 4 1 2 MH
3 3 2 3 -1 3 Mark
1 3 1 4 -3 3 Werner Pichler

Appropriate that the top-of-the-table clash, where both teams forgot to pick, ended up in a draw. Quite eventful, though, with Silkeborg coming back to tie it three times, and Midtjylland thought they had the winning goal in the 92nd minute, but VARobots
thought otherwise.

At the bottom, Mark escapes last place.

Tier 2

Jesper killing it now that he is no longer in Tier 3 (and that he can pick matches from the Danish league). At the bottom...bwhahaha!

This was round 22 when the division splits - top 6 decides the title,
while the bottom 6 fights relegation. What half you're in, is a big
factor in deciding wether the season was a success or a failure.

Without that VAR Midtjylland would have been top 6 (and Brøndby not).
Had Silkeborg gotton a winner, *they* would have replaced Brøndby. In
a way this was an anti-biscotto.

The top/bottom split should please a gamemaster, as it will provide
more balanced matches.
