Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 56 - League NED/ENG2 Match Day 3 (2023/12/9-10)

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

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

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/12/6, 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 2023/12/9
- 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

*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.

I'll go Lassie and pick The Terriers & Fortuna (because good dogs are lucky).

I'm well within the deadline.

In case there is a problem of seeing things, my order
of picks would be

Sittard
Huddersfield
Waalwijk
Bristol

I guess Huddersfield v Bristol City it is, then.

Isn't this contradictory? I.e., if you expect the highest amount of
points from Sittard, don't you automatically expect the fewest from
Waalkijk (so you should put the latter as least favorite team)? Honest
question.

Watford 1-1 Southampton
56' 0-1 C. Adams
90' 1-1 R. Healey

90' away draw against the GOAT. Not bad.

With all the disruptions to newsreaders and which messages get through, we may have no choice but to declare this season null and void. We'll see.
