Four of the 16 games were picked by no-one: toocool4u takes the weekly win with 9/16 solo, and collects a bonus point for a solo pick and another one for picking a draw (no-one picked the upset win).
He's now leading with a margin of 2 pts over iliniman14, who also has a margin of 2 pts, over the peloton (the rest of us).
The rest of us (all eleven) are separated by just 4 pts.
The draw for the 2nd Round took place on Monday night. The tipping thread will be updated for these games when the FA has settled their TV schedule, probably by mid-late next week, re which games are played on Friday night and which game will be played on Monday night. The 2nd Round will be played on the weekend of Sat 5th Dec. |

Four years ago we had a field of 14 runners. In the following year we had 13 runners .. paper_aero was the no-show. The year after that we were back to 14 runners: all 13 from previous year re-appeared plus ankitankurddit. Last year we had 13 runners: George95 was the no-show. This year's comp sees the same 13 line up at the barriers.
This year's comp is the 25th edition of the FA Cup tipping comp, first held
in 2003. Last year's comp saw eight reach double digits in R1a. This year we have four in double digits with their picks: 10 pts each.
Those four are the early leaders: LeoDaVinci and illiniman14 were the R1a winners with picks of 10/16; joined out front by Sypher & toocool4u, who each collected a bonus point on top of their 9/16 picks.
Llynfi, the defending titleholder, is just 1 pt in arrears. Last year's silver medallist was srini701 and Dizart finished third.
At the other end, wwe84 is bringing up the rear. He collected a wooden spoon with 6/16 picks.
It's very early in the season and, sometimes, positions change as the season progresses. Back in 2020, ozzz2002 was equal last after R1a, some 7 pts in arrears, but came back to win the comp in a canter, by a whopping 16 pts! |
No worries .. but I hope someone volunteers to do this each week,
or a few weeks in advance!
I'm guessing and hoping you will continue to post each week's fixtures like this for the whole season, and that I will only have to worry about the scoring :)
Thanks for this, George!
