The next round of the FA Cup is just under 2 weeks away, and here are the match ups for the last 16, again created by a random match up generator, to help with impartiality!
The 8 head to heads are: Shrewsbury_Saddler v BoldmereSaddler Catkearns v addo ManchesterSaddler v Laundryman Pingu v saddla TheHassBoss v Welsh_Saddler hkpete v Gavin77 RedandWhite v HughBear Shilts v Professor Peach
The 8 games are below. To keep it all above board, as the last round, PM me your predictions for 3 matches and Iâll post them up here once they are all in / on the Wednesday.
No âhome pointâ bonus this time, so straight up knockout. If players are tied on points, winners will be decided by the highest point-scoring game, then by goals difference between actual score lines and predicted scores i.e. number of goals difference across the 3 games; those nearest matching, go through. If we still canât split people, then weâll have to hope there is a replay or two and people can predict those!

Coventry City v Maidstone United 19:45
TUESDAY 27TH FEBRUARY
AFC Bournemouth v Leicester City 19:30
Blackburn Rovers v Newcastle United 19:45
Luton Town v Manchester City 20:00

Yep, already thought about that, and was planning on doing it from the QF stage and people predict all 4 games. Maybe doing it from this stage when there are 8 games, could happen next year. Weâll see how it works out. I guess when there is a chance of 3 stand out games from the 8 being predicted by everyone, it could make sense. That is partly the luck of the draw and also the format we chose to use this year.
