Was a cracker in fairness! even if i did have jussi as my FF keeper!!!! disaster!!!


There ya go Dez

Right this weeks prediction is for Saturday the 29th of January and it concerns the FA Cup fixtures.

This Saturday there are 11 games in the FA Cup, which is a cup where big teams can make little teams dreams come true! Teams from all over the country take part in this competition, so, this week you will have to select 5 teams that are domesticaly above their opponents to win, 5 teams that are domesticaly below their opponents to win and you must select a 'Banker' (can be above or below) which will give you double points.


The example -
If Chelsea were fixtured to play Swindon, then if you selected Chelsea to win, then Chelsea would be 1 of your 5 teams in the 'Above' catagory, as Chelsea are above Swindon in the League tables.

If you selected Swindon, then that would be 1 of your 5 teams in the 'Below' catagory, as Swindon are below Chelsea in the league tables.

So you need to pick -
5 teams that are above their opponents
5 teams that are below their opponents
And a 'Banker' which can be ANY club.

This will require strategy and you will need to play the percentages!

I will post the hirachy of league postion and fixtures below seeing as I've run out of space

Btw, this has too me a lot of thought! And is more about skill as opposed to luck! So a bad comment about this week and I'm going to cut off your fingers

Swansea v Leyton Orient
Aston Villa v Blackburn
Birmingham v Coventry

Fixture Left Out:

Burnley v Burton Albion

i think i should abstain from this one im being told i should guess instead of using a prediction strategy

Whats this you donut Where did I say leave one game out .

Maybe I wasnt clear, so I shall explain the banker part -

When selecting a banker (in Dgeneratio's case Man Utd) then you cant select them in the 'above' or 'below'.

So Jim, you'd have to either stick Burnley in your 'above' or swap one around.

You shouldnt be left with a game.

5 Aboves
5 Belows
1 Banker

= 11.

Use them all

Was probably my fault. I was power typing

But see as Dgen ha sactually highlighted Burnley, my feeling is that he was just a donut as Burnley go in the above section and Man Utd would be the banker.

Sorted

what i felt, 11 games, i didn't realise that i couldn't place a banker in my above/below choices.

sorry

Very nice setup Derry !
