League Cup Prediction Comp (with a twist) 2017/18

Post by Ralfbergs »

I completely missed that it starts today. If we don't get that many participants I might dismiss first round and start from the 2nd, but at the moment I hope that won't happen.

As you might know, first round has already ended, so we will start with second round. murf was the last year's winner - with Liverpool

The following text is copied from last year, so the rules are the same:

Just predict who you think will win this season's Football League 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 League Cup round 1 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 1 (except if we get little amount of participants, then we will start from round 2). (Sorry for no precise times for kickoffs)

Yeah, I realised it only today too. It's more interesting to start from 1st Round, so fingers crossed there are enough people browsing Fiso today

Nice tactic from MvL.

Wait until the team has already won before picking them. :lol:

It depends if they will replay full match or start with 1-0 from the minute it stopped? If they start with Derby being 1-0 up, I think it would not be fair to allow newcomers to pick them as it's an advantage

Yup, MvL has to pick a different team (I assume he didn't notice that the cup has already started)

No teams left to pick from and Moist von Lipwig is also out as he picked a team that had already played.

FA Cup first round proper is on 4th November, we usually don't do qualifying rounds.
