Two in-game rule changes:

1) Tiebreakers: in the even that the number of goals scored by both teams is tied, the next tiebreakers, are in order:

a) Number of away goals (the away team is the teams listed as playing away in the Use-The-Scalp tie)
b) Number of bonus captain goals.
c) drawing of lots.

2) Substitutions:
Every Use-the-Scalp team is allowed *one* substitution to its lineup, provided the
subbed out player and the subbed in player play on the same club team and in the same role, or in a more defensive one (example: Harry Kane replaced with Heung Min Son). The subbed-in player cannot be a player on any of the other Use-the-Scalp teams. Substitutions must be announced publicly on rss before the end of the day today.

c) drawing of lots.
The idea here is to reward skill as much as possible. Rewarding successful defending creates some problems.

QF2: Team KANE (Futbolmetrix) - TEAM MESSI (MH) (First leg: 0-3)
Team KANE
FW: Kane, Dybala (C, MM), Seferovic
MF: D. Silva, Fornals
DF: Alex Telles, Funes Mori (DD)
Big dilemma: do I replace the injured Kane with Son (away at all-powerful ManCity), or Seferovic with hotshot kid Joao Felix?

I'll stick with the conservative option: Son. New Harry's Orphans lineup:

Team KANE
FW: Son, Dybala, Seferovic
MF: D. Silva, Fornals
DF: Alex Telles, Funes Mori

I know, sorry, the snipe wasn't directed at you. And I know that milivella was not genuinely doubting my picks, just giving some payback for all the times we have accused him of sloppy gamemastering...

Maybe a quick Slavia goal to force Hazard to come on and save the day?

But then again, if I can't scalp Ronaldo, what is the point?

Team Marega with the slimmest of leads, but Team RONALDO still definitely in with a chance, especially if David Luiz can successfully mark Jovic.

Did I say this was wide open? Probably a bit of an exaggeration, but if Funes Mori can do the greatest defending act in the history of the game...

Team TADIC

Randy with a surprising lead, but a single goal by unmarked captain Giroud can turn things around.

Team AGUERO

Crazy stuff here. Team RASHFORD with the away goal advantage, as well as the possibility of erasing Aguero's goals. Team Aguero will need something special.

Sarri has generally not been starting either Luiz or Hazard in Europa
league games. With a 1-0 lead and an away goal, he might well continue
that, keeping Hazard fresh for the charge for a CL place through the
league.

I read that David Luiz will start because of injuries (of the other
central defenders). I will go out anyway, but at least I hope that the
reason will not be that I picked a benched player...

Potential teams for qualifiers after scalping:

The coach will have to dump three players!

Team SALAH (albertovella)

I assume the coach can, in this case, trade down for players from the same teams but in more defensive positions, right? Seems fair...

Hmmm... it probably goes against the spirit of UtS, but:
a) it makes the game more interesting.
b) it increases the chances that milivella doesn't win the whole thing.

The fair and unbiased gamemaster will think about this and make a decision.

When I see Futbolmetrix scheming so blatantly, I wonder why, in the

Thanks again for the updates. Just to confirm here the final scores

QFs – Second Leg


QF1: Team MAREGA (Jesper) 1-3 Team RONALDO (milivella) (First leg: 1-0, Agg.: 2-3)

Team MAREGA
FW: Marega, Suarez (C), Jovic (MM)
MF: Mane 1, Hazard
DF: Vertonghen (DD-), Alex Grimaldo

Team RONALDO
FW: Ronaldo 1 (MM), Brahimi, Rodrigo
MF: Ziyech, Kostic (C) 1(x2)
DF: Pique, David Luiz (DD-)


milivella's brave strategy of not captaining Ronaldo pays off big time. There's obviously something wrong in the Use-the-Scalp formula if such boneheaded decisions end up paying off...




QF2: Team KANE (Futbolmetrix) 4-4 TEAM MESSI (MH) (First leg: 0-3, Agg.: 3-7)

Team KANE
FW: Son (C) 2(x2), Dybala (MM), Seferovic
MF: D. Silva, Fornals
DF: Alex Telles, Funes Mori (DD)

Team MESSI
FW: Messi 2 (x2) (C, MM), Neres, Milik
MF: Pogba, Ramsey
DF: Bonucci (DD-), Danny Da Costa

Funes Mori started, but no miracle defending. Team Kane, with 6 out 7 players eliminated, was not that good.



QF3: Team SALAH (albertovella) 3-2 Team TADIC (Randy) [First leg: 0-0, Agg.: 3-2]

Team SALAH
FW: Salah 1, Alli, Giroud (C, MM) 1(x2)
MF: Corona, Pizzi
DF: Otamendi (DD-), Koulibaly

Team TADIC
FW: Tadic (C), Sterling (MM) 2, Aubameyang
MF: Pjanic, Cheryshev
DF: Smalling (DD-), Ngadeu-Ngadjui

A brave showing by Randy, but it wasn't to be.


QF4: Team AGUERO (Werner) 1-3 Team RASHFORD (Jesus) [First leg: 0-0, Agg.: 1-3]

Team AGUERO
FW: Aguero (C, MM*, 1(x2)), Lukaku, Skoda
MF: Erikssen, Stoch
DF: Van Dijk (DD-) 1, Garay


Team RASHFORD
FW: Rashford, Firmino (C, MM) 1(x2), Ekambi
MF: Rakitic, Zielinski
DF: De Ligt 1, Sokratis (DD+)


In the end, Sokratis' defending made things less close than what they looked like.

To follow: semifinal draw, scalping and lineup updating rules

milivella's brave strategy of not captaining Ronaldo pays off big time. There's obviously something wrong in the Use-the-Scalp formula if such boneheaded decisions end up paying off...
This is his way of saying "genius".

It didn't. Picking Ronaldo as captain in both legs would have produced
the same result. Well, except that 2 points in a 3-2 score wouldn't be
due to a blatantly offside goal.

Doesn't it seem to you too that he slightly touched the ball with his hand?

Is there a word to describe someone who relishes injustice?

Do you accept proper nouns as answers?

Every Use-the-Scalp team is allowed *one* substitution to its lineup, provided the
subbed out player and the subbed in player play on the same club team and in the same role, or in a more defensive one (example: Harry Kane replaced with Heung Min Son). The subbed-in player cannot be a player on any of the other Use-the-Scalp teams. Substitutions must be announced publicly on rss before the end of the day today.
A rule change that is by no means influenced by the injury of a player
whose name starts with K and ends with Kane.

I've sent my picks to the gamemaster, but here is the hash in any case:
44db95b7f8f022cc5d57beffe9758a67

I'm posting it mainly for the inclusion of the Italian word "beffe" in
it (it means "mocks" or something like that).
