FA Cup Quarter Finals - Round 3

After a bit of a disorganised schedule (mainly Chelsea's fault), all the fixtures for the 4th Round & 5th Round have now been completed. I thought I'd update you all on the state of play as it stands. For those of you who don't play in the PL game, I normally do some very basic stats and a graph of results, so I'll try to do the same here, although it's not quite the same.

4th Round:

As we know, 15 people played.
The most popular results were Arsenal, Middlesborough, Norwich, Man Utd, Chelsea & Liverpool WINS (15/15)
The most disputed was Derby vs Blackburn - a 9-6 split.

The best predictor was Josh Gaon with 10/16
The worst was Doron Salomon with 5/16

The best predicted results were the Arsenal, Middlesborough, Man Utd & Chelsea WINS (15/15)
The worst predicted were the Luton & Oldham WINS (0/15)

Everyone's scores:

5th Round


15 people played.
The most popular results were Arsenal & Chelsea WINS (15/15)
The most disputed were Luton vs Millwall & MK Dons vs Barnsley - a 5-10 & 10-5 split respectively.

The best predictors were Me & Gaj Thiru with 7/8
The worst were Tarek Najm, Josh Daniels & Sam Ruback with 4/8

The best predicted result was the Chelsea WIN (15/15)
The worst predicted was the Blackburn WIN (0/15)

Everyone's scores:

So now to the overall standings, after 2 rounds. Remember, the rounds were weighted to reflect the number of games involved in each round (and slightly biased with respect to Round 4 as the draw was already known). Round 4 is weighted to 40% of the overall mark, and Round 5 weighted to 32%.

Therefore, the standings look as follows:

Still around 30% of the points still to play for, so by no means over just yet.

Now to Round 6 (the Quarter Finals):

My predictions for the winner of each tie are as follows:

Everton vs Wigan - EVERTON

Man City vs Barnsley - MAN CITY

Millwall vs Blackburn - MILLWALL

Man Utd vs Chelsea - MAN UTD

 

No PL games this week for those who were wondering, only 6 games being played and it's too complex to factor in the caught up games, as well as being unfair due to changes in fitness & form between the prediction and the match itself.

 

Good luck guys, and can the 3 who have yet to pay please do so ASAP - send me a message and we'll sort something out
