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

Post by Ralfbergs »

Most of the following text is copied from last year, so the rules are the same.

Time for the seventh annual FA Cup Prediction Comp (with the same old twist)

Just predict who you think will win this season's FA Cup. Simple eh? Err, no....

you have to start with a team in Round 1 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).

2016/17 thread - won by Maldini (won with Chelsea, started with Peterborough)
2015/16 thread - won by GregsEggs AND Maldini (knocked out in the same round - GregsEggs started with Leyton Orient, Maldini started with Sheffield United)
2014/15 thread - won by MorrisonDullforce (started with AFC Wimbledon)
2013/14 thread - won by Bluenosey (started with Coventry)
2012/13 thread - won by coryphaeus (started with Bournemouth
2011/12 thread - won by Rookster (started with MK Dons)
2010/11 thread - won by eagle 224 (started with Notts County)


1. Simply pick a team that will win their FA Cup round 1 tie (by replay / pens if necessary)
1A. Note you can only start with a team in the first round and cannot join after the first 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 Accrington Stanley 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!

For round one 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.


DEADLINE - when your team kicks off (weekend around 4th November)
