All Rocks FA Cup Sweep

Hi All,

It's 3rd round proper in the FA Cup .....
so for a bit of fun I have decided to use our league positions at the close of round 15 to decide everybodys sweep tie/team.
Whoever wins your allocated tie then becomes you team for the whole of the FA Cup.
Come the month of May, via the process of elimination, we should have 2 people left contesting the final.

For interest here are the ties :-

1 Barnsley v Hartlepool United or Coventry City

2 Yeovil Town v Leyton Orient

3 Liverpool v Oldham Athletic or Mansfield Town

4 Nottingham Forest v West Ham United

5 Bristol City v Watford

6 Southend United v Millwall

7 Middlesbrough v Hull City

8 West Bromwich Albion v Crystal Palace

9 Kidderminster Harriers v Peterborough United

10 Doncaster Rovers v Stevenage

11 Stoke City v Leicester City

12 Southampton v Burnley

13 Newcastle United v Cardiff City

14 Rochdale v Leeds United

15 Wigan Athletic v Milton Keynes Dons

16 Charlton Athletic v Wrexham or Oxford United

17 Manchester United v Swansea City

18 Port Vale v Plymouth Argyle

19 Norwich City v Fulham

20 Aston Villa v Sheffield United

21 Macclesfield Town v Sheffield Wednesday

22 Sunderland v Carlisle United

23 Bolton Wanderers v Blackpool

24 Blackburn Rovers v Manchester City

25 Everton v Queens Park Rangers

26 Brighton & Hove Albion v Reading

27 Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur

28 Birmingham City v Bristol Rovers or Crawley Town

29 Grimsby Town v Huddersfield Town

30 Ipswich Town v Preston North End

31 Derby County v Chelsea

32 AFC Bournemouth v Fleetwood or Burton Albion

 

There are 64 teams = 32 ties , so was going to do it on the ties.
Can be a bit more interesting if there are some upsets , ie. Swansea winning at Old trafford
then again, on current form Swansea losing there would be the bigger shock !!

The only other way is to use a random number generator to do the selecting.

 

Or the other way is to use the respective positions in our "Sweet FA cup" league reflect in the FA Cup .... Hmm I think I will go with that one

 

I could go along with just interested managers taking their pick but what happens when all premier league sides have gone ... nobody will be interested to pick.

If it is done on 4th round of 32 teams some of the lesser teams will be gone.
Also I don't need to see who is interested.. this is just for fun & like any cup there is no skill involved as the draw makes the big difference.
I will use a random number generator to allocate everybody a team when there is 32 left (4th round) that way we will go straight into 16 head to head ties.

 

Baggies v Palace is better than mine at the moment, i would get Kidderminster v Peterborough.
So no Chance of a fix if I stayed in 9th .. lol

 

No panic teams will be allocatted when the round is played, i've got totry n get away from Kidderminster/Peterborough !!!

 

Teams will be allocated, according to the respective league positions, after game week 20.

 

If you get up to 27 or drop to 31 , Your banned for fixing !

 

Ok it's full stream ahead, check the picture below , your league position will now determine your teams in the FA Cup sweep. After this weekends ties 32 teams will be left, the teams will be allocated as drawn.

IE. On the Road gets the first drawn team & will play FC Touchline Ban who gets the 2nd out of the hat.
Hence the last tie will be between Biggerboat & HazMat+9

I Will post a complete draw here next week.

Good Luck
