8 players were facing off in 4 head to head ties to try and make it through to the semi finals!
Match 2 took place first, with Man United defeating Everton which perhaps surprisingly only 1 player predicted; MCM Hoop get 3 points
QPRBex got a back up point for Fernandes scoring at any time whilst Ghost, CutePR and LurkR got the 16-30 first goal time
Match 3 saw Palace smash Leeds 4-1, which nobody got exact but Ghost, QPRBex and CutePR got 3 points for predicting the Palace win. Nobody had the 0-15 first goal time.
Match 4 was 1-0 to West Ham and everybody just got 3 points for getting the Hammers win, but nobody went for 1-0.
Sunday saw the last match played and it the main Match 1 between Man City and Liverpool
Heading into this Kingfisher and MaxQPR were tied 3-3, MCM Hoop and LurkR were level 6-6, Ghost led QPRBex 9-7 and so only CutePR had a commanding lead 9-3 up on ranger-boy, but 1 good prediction had the potential to impact any tie!
Well done to CutePR and MCM Hoop for predicting 1-1 on the money, whilst kingfisher, MaxQPR and QPRBex also predicted a draw.
CutePR went one step further getting Salah as first scorer, as did LurkR, ranger-boy and MaxQPR. Nobody got the early first goal time but Ghost, kingfisher, CutePR, MCM Hoop and ranger-boy had Liverpool down to score first for a final single point.
So..........
CutePR was already 6 clear of ranger-boy and scored a huge 13 points to storm into the semi finals.
MaxQPR picked up 9 points in this final match, 5 more than kingfisher and so Max goes through.
MCM Hoop owes Liverpool scoring first for his victory over LurkR , as that single point made the difference.
Ghost scored 1 point and QPRBex 3 so they ended up level and it went to goal difference!
There were 16 bookings across the 4 games and to make it even more dramatic they both predicted 9 so were still tied, both 7 away!
So it goes down to the countback of the highest scorer in the cup so far.... incredibly they had both scored 19 points overall so far. So it goes down to goal difference across the 3 rounds so far... and QPRBex had been 22 out overall, Ghost out by 23 and so after all that QPRBex squeezes through having been 1 closer on goal difference over 3 rounds of play. Unlucky Ghost ! Mental. We've never even had a countback before, never mind going all the way to previous goal difference!
Ghost keeps up a record of having never made it past the Quarter Finals. LurkR fails to get to the final of a cup for the first time since the FA Cup of 2018/19 whilst MCM Hoop who had never even made a Quarter Final before prior to the last round is now in his first ever Semi Final.
Here are the overall Quarter Final Scores:
SEMI FINALS
The semi finals, as previously decided, see the winner of Tie 1 against the winner of Tie 4 and the winner of Tie 2 against the winner of Tie 3
So we have the following Semi Final line up
Semi Final 1: MaxQPR Vs QPRBex
Semi Final 2: MCM Hoop Vs CutePR
The Semi Finals will again be based on Premier League matches and will be over the weekend of 28 November!
