Cup Fixtures - A Few Notes
Post from Predict The Score
First of all, great to see so many of you playing the hardly-promoted-at-all FAntasy Cup. The first round will continue until all of the postponed fixtures and replays have been played*, at which point anyone finishing above the halfway point on the table will qualiify for Round 2.
*unless any of the games end up being rescheduled for the Fourth Round weekend, then we'll have to count them in Round 2 or it'll get really confusing...
However, you may have noticed that the Fourth Round fixtures are already available to predict, regardless of your chances of making it through (just as you may have noticed that you can predict for the next round of Eurostars, even if you didn't qualify in the top 16 of that competition).
It's not a mistake - we thought we'd give everyone the chance to play along at home this year. If you predict for a round you haven't qualified for, you won't appear on the leaderboard but you will be able see how you did via the "My Account" links. Then you can kick yourself when you realise you would have won the cup if only you hadn't insisted on picking all five goalscorers from Man Utd.
