Sypher is this round's winner with 12/16. He returns to the top of the pile after an absence of one round .. ozzz2002 slips from 1st to 4th, behind gtho4 and N-Bomb .. he was leader for one round. With just two rounds left, the semis and final, the first six are separated by a mere 3 pts.
New high: N-Bomb (again), gtho4
New low : PaulE (again), George95, paper_aero
The four quarter-final winners have been split evenly in the semi-final draw: the two London clubs have avoided each other and so have the two Manchester clubs. We could have an all-London final or an all-Manchester final:
Arsenal v Manchester City
Manchester United v Chelsea
Advance picks - wwe84 & Llynfi lost both finalists plus the winner in the previous (scroll back for a summary of all advance picks). The rest of us still have live advance picks for the final .. and one player has a complete set of three live picks. No-one managed to score a perfect four with their advance picks for the four semi-finalists (these pts will be awarded in the next round.)

ozzz2002 is this round's winner. He returns to the top of the pile after an absence of one round. Sypher slips from 1st to 4th and gtho4 from 1st to 2nd, behind paper_aero on a countback. With just the final left (max. of 16 pts), ozzz2002 has jumped from 3rd to 1st with an outrageous 8 pt margin back to second.

The final will be an all-London affair, Arsenal v Chelsea, who beat both Manchester clubs in the semi-finals (aka two upset wins). Between us we have only one live pick for the winner .. ozzz2002 has Arsenal as his advance pick to win the final (it's worth 6 pts if they win or 3 pts if they lose). That will take his margin out to a minimum of 11 pts. It looks like it's mathematically impossible for anyone to catch him.
The four players behind him are separated by just 1 pt. Silver and bronze *should* be won by two of those four.
Arsenal are paying in their 21st FA Cup final. A new all-time record. They have won the FA Cup 13 times.

ozzz2002 has cleaned up big time. He is once again this round's winner with 10/16 .. and wins this by a humungous 16 pts! Next best Dizart with 8/16, who jumps over paper_aero and gtho4 to collect silver .. and he did it without any weekly wins (and a -ve countback).
paper_aero and gtho4 dead-heated for 3rd .. paper_aero collects bronze on a weekly win vs. wooden spoon countback of +1 vs. +0.
This is the second time ozzz2002 has won the FA Cup comp. His first was three years ago in 2017 which, co-incidentally, was played by the same two teams and ended up with the same winner and same score .. and it's the last time Arsenal won the FA Cup.

The win by Arsenal came in their 21st final (a new record). It was their 14th win (also a new record): they held the previous record with 13 wins.
The defending titleholder was N-Bomb (Howie72 won silver last year and LeoDaVinci the bronze).
ozzz2002 is the fourth person to win this more than once .. srini701 was the first to retain his title (2009 and 2010), and N-Bomb was the second (2018 and 2019). PaulE is the other multiple winner (2007 and 2013) .. srini701 was the first to win this three times (2009, 2010 and 2015), and N-Bomb was the second (2016, 2018 and 2019).

This is the second time ozzz2002 has won the FA Cup comp. His first was three years ago in 2017 which, co-incidentally, was played by the same two teams and ended up with the same winner and same score .. and it's the last time Arsenal won the FA Cup. Contrary to scurrilous rumours, there was NO cutting and pasting involved with my tips!  Thanks to George for running the show, and thanks to Arsenal for being on the 'heads' side of my coin...
