It was great to see nearly everybody involved in the main Prediction League entering the cup, only surrey chad forgot to enter
With 19 players in the draw, it means we will have a full 16 player Round 2 with 8 head to head ties... let's see who has made it through and which 3 players exit at the first hurdle...
Match 1 was of course QPR Vs Fulham. Well done to stoatey, onenightfever, Rosco Bosco and Ghost for getting 0-2 exact. MCM Hoop, LurkR, CutePR and myself also went for a Fulham win. Rosco Bosco went one better getting De Cordova-Reid as first scorer which was a superb call. Nobody got the extra time first goal (76-90 would have got the points)
In Match 2 Arsenal beat Newcastle 2-0 which stoatey, ranger-boy, MaxQPR, LurkR, jalfrezi, Ghost and qprallan all did well to get exact. Only kingfisher and minxymartin didn't predict an Arsenal win. I got Smith-Rowe as first scorer which was a good call even if I do say so myself!
In Match 3 Wycombe destroyed Preston 4-1. Nobody had 4-1 but woodork, LurkR, Rosco Bosco, minxymartin and e17hoop did have a Wycombe win for 3 points and minxymartin also got the 0-15 first goal time.
That left Match 4 on Sunday with 6 points on offer for Bristol City Vs Pompey. City won 2-1 with stoatey, myself, SydneyR, CutePR, QPRBex, MCM Hoop, Rosco Bosco, minxymartin and kingfisher taking all 6 points
Top scorer was Rosco Bosco with a massive 25 points - one of the all top scores in a round of a cup! Myself and stoatey were also comfortably through on 19, followed by Ghost and LurkR on 16.
The elimination at the other end came down to goal difference as we had 5 players all on just 6 points.
There were 16 bookings across the 4 matches...
ashqpr and MaxQPR were closest (2 and 4 away) so we unfortunately have to say goodbye to qprallan , kingfisher and woodork who were 9, 7 and 5 away respectively. woodork was particularly unlucky on his cup debut to get knocked out by 1 goal difference point!
Jalfrezi Rs , SydneyR and MCM Hoop forgot to enter a goal difference so get the worst amount somebody else got (9) applied for any future count back. They all make it through this round as they scored well enough and avoided goal difference.
MaxQPR who won the recent League Cup competition before Christmas sneaks through by the finest margin. onenightfever and jalfrezi are through on their cup debuts.
Here is how Round 1 shaped up showing those eliminated:
Round 2
In Round 2 position 1 plays 16, 2 plays 15, 3 plays 14 and so on, as was the case in the FA Cup last season, illustrating no fixing of the draw and the higher placed players benefit by playing a lower ranked player (on paper!). It is all head to head battles from here on in!
That leaves us with the following Round 2 line up of 16 players still in with a chance of getting 10 bonus points for the QPR Prediction League:
Tie 1: Rosco Bosco V MaxQPR
Tie 2: northwesthoop V ashqpr
Tie 3: stoatey V Jalfrezi Rs
Tie 4: Ghost V SydneyR
Tie 5: LurkR V ranger-boy
Tie 6: minxymartin V QPRBex
Tie 7: onenightfever V e17hoop
Tie 8: MCM Hoop V CutePR
The points all reset to zero. Round 1 score and GD only come into play going forward if there is no separating the players in the next round.
Round 2 takes place the weekend after next (23rd/24th) and will be available to enter once the FA Cup 4th round draw has taken place and dates have been set for the matches.
