League Cup Prediction Comp (with a twist) 2015/16

[Ralfbergs]

With murf's permission, I'm running this one this season. As you might know, first round has already ended, so we will start with second round. jimmyching was the last year's winner - starting the cup with Bolton and ending up with Chelsea!

The following text is copied from last year, so the rules are the same, only exception is that I changed everything about first round, like it was last year, to second round as we start from that phase:

Just predict who you think will win this season's Capital One Cup. Simple eh? Err, no.... you have to start with a team in Round 2 and use your 'skill' to navigate your way to the final or as far as you can. All subject to the nice twists in the rules (see below).

1. Simply pick a team that will win their Carling Cup round 2 tie (by replay / pens if necessary) - see draw below.
1A. Note you can only start with a team in the second round and cannot join after the second round.
2. You cannot copy someone else's pick.
3. Win and you go through to the next round, lose you go out. Simple enough for ya?
4. Throughout the comp you can only change your pick in each round to the team your current pick has drawn (e.g. if you have Barnsley and they draw Man Utd in round 3 you, and only you, can switch to Man U). This is subject to rule 2. If you draw a team that somebody already has then you are stuck with your pick. Complicated enough for ya?
5. I don't think I'll need to tweak these rules later but I reserve the right to do so!

Just copy the last list on the line which keeps the list in alphabetical order by club - club name first, then yours..
Try and keep it in alphabetical order by club.
Please check you haven't missed off anybody who has posted since the list you copied.

The deadline is when your team kicks off so late entries will get less matches to choose from. Obviously no entries after round 2. (Sorry for no precise times for kickoffs, I'll add them tomorrow)

Walsall v Brighton
Crystal Palace v Shrewsbury

Whenever I organised these comps people would miss people off the list or ignore the requests for alphabetical order etc. Everyone is behaving for Ralfbergs, I'll have to hand over the reigns on other comps!!!!


(being serious, due to other commitments and so having less opportunities like now to waste time on FISO, I'm also stopping running the FISO Goals side comps, at least at the start of this season so if anybody wants to run the Early Doors Cup as I did last season or with their own tweak then feel free)

Don't jynx it!

Either way, I have my own comps to run so it will be enough with this one (I can run FA Cup prediction comp though, in case you decide not to run it)

Some English bloke has picked Clwb Pêl-droed Dinas Abertawe

So I will pick a team from the occupied territories and pick:- Caerlŷr .

Trust the Welsh bloke to ignore the instructions.

[trampie]

The Welsh bloke didn't know whether to list it under 'C' OR 'L', so thought best to leave it to the organiser.

Just re-posting fixtures, with those which are already picked in Bold. Judging by Soccerway, most of them will be played on Monday 24th August, Luton v Stoke will be on 25th and Barnsley v Everton on 26th, but I'm not completely sure if there are not some more which will be played on Wednesday.
The deadline is when your team kicks off so late entries will get less matches to choose from. Obviously no entries after round 2.

Oh, yeah, now Soccerway is showing it too - so the deadline for all matches is Tuesday (when they kick off) and for Barnsley v Everton it's Wednesday's kickoff.
