How the desk picks

Six checks, one weekend soccer ticket

01
Friday–Monday
Only soccer matches kicking off Friday through Monday Eastern. Live and final stay on the board; the slip is unplayed legs.
02
Top 20 leagues
Big five, Portugal, Netherlands, Saudi, Liga MX, Brazil, then Turkey, MLS, Argentina, Belgium, Greece, Denmark, Scotland, Austria, Norway, and Japan.
03
Top 3 by value
In each league only the three richest squads by Transfermarkt squad value are eligible — e.g. La Liga is Real Madrid (€1.46bn), Barcelona (€1.27bn), Atlético (€661m).
04
Easiest opponent
Among those three fixtures, take the club facing the weakest opponent: table place, goal difference, form, and whether the other side is also a giant. Example: Madrid vs Betis, Atlético vs Athletic, Barça vs Valencia → Valencia is the softest, so Barcelona is La Liga’s #1.
05
Best 10 of 20
One pick per league, then those winners are re-ranked by opponent weakness. Only the 10 easiest spots make the weekend soccer slip. Squad value is printed next to each name.
06
Prints at 8 AM
Weekend soccer prints Thursday at 8:00 AM Eastern and freezes through Monday. Coming back later does not reprint it unless you hit Rescout.
