09 - Fulham
06 - Rangers
05 - Liverpool
01 - Cardiff
01 - Celtic
01 - Hearts
01 - Middlesbrough
01 - Southampton
01 - No entry
From the eight teams selected only three came in,therefore five glorious failures this week at Craven Cottage ( Fulham ),Cardiff,Tynecastle ( Hearts ),Riverside ( Middlesbrough ) and St Mary's ( Southampton ).
Let's start at the most fancied team of the round ( Fulham ) where 9 of you selected 'The Cottagers,there was a few who had fancied the Rangers at first glance and indeed selected us however when the match was called off early Saturday afternoon we all jumped on Fulham who were third in the English championship up against bottom club Barnsley and at home as well,easy peazy ( we thought ).
A woodrow penalty on the 24th minute and it was one nil Barnsley, Brown made it two after 51 and to round up a horrible day Woodrow scored his second and Barnsley's third on the 79th minute - Fulham 0 v 3 Barnsley - And out went...

In Cardiff we had promotion hopefuls Cardiff City hosting a struggling Wigan Athletic and it came as little surprise to see 1 of our players select the favourites,five minutes in and Moore had the visitors one up,three minutes later it was one one when Murphy netted,back came Wigan and it was one two when Moore scored his second just before the break.Cardiff regrouped at the interval and a Naismith OG levelled the tie on the 55th minute and that was the end of the scoring - Cardiff 2 v 2 Wigan - And out went...

Relegation threatened Hearts could only manage a two two draw against fellow relegation threatened Hamilton and could possibly consider themselves fortunate to even snatch a draw having been down two zero after only 16 minutes with both goals being scored from Hamilton's Ogkmpoe ( one a penalty ),a dubious red card for Hamilton's Hamilton five minutes later changed the dynamics of the game with Walker ( 48 ) and Halkett ( 87 ) salvaging the point for Hearts - Hearts 2 v 2 Hamilton - And out goes...

At the Riverside Middlesbrough were up against lowly Luton Town who have been struggling all season and who sit in the championship relegation zone and as such 1 of our players fancied the Boro,as it was though a solitary goal from Tunnicliffe on the 17th minute was enough to take all three points back to Kenilworth Road - Middlesbrough 0 v 1 Luton Town - And out goes...

Southampton were at home versus Burnley on Saturday afternoon and 1 of our players fancied the Saints in which looked on paper a very tough predict to make,and so it proved...Only two minutes it took to put the Saints on the backfoot as Westwood netted for 'The Clarets,Ings equalised on 18 however it was left for Vydra to steal the show when he scored on 60 - Southampton 1 v 2 Burnley - And out went...

And finally - Another no show,this time from Mightygerland and as a result his tournament comes to an end which seems a shame considering he had to battle through three rounds before he got here ( his money tho ).
So another 14 out which takes us up to 131 players lost in only four rounds.
Well done to the 12 who made it into round five,the share value currently sits at........

Let me now take this opportunity to wish all twelve players the very best of British as we move into the second phase of the competition and it only gets tougher from here on in - TWO selections are now required folks.

3.No less than twenty fixtures.

( rounds 1-4 )
Basic and simple...

2.You cannot select this team again.
3.You can edit your selection until kick off.
4.If your selected fixture is abandoned you carry through to the next round however you will be required to select an EXTRA team.
5.If your selected fixture is postponed you can either wait until the following round to pick an EXTRA ( as above ) or simply edit.
6.If you fail to enter you will be eliminated.
7.There can be no sharing of the pot at level one stage.if all players were to exit at a particular round then all who took part in THAT round would be immediately reinstated for the next.
LEVEL TWO
( Rounds 5 - 10 )
.( Rounds 5 - 10 )
You are now requested to select TWO teams and from this round onwards you may be offered a share of the pot...
1.If both your selections win you go through to the next round or win the full pot if all of your opponents fail.
2.If only one of your selections win you may be offered a share of the pot ( pro rata ) or win the full pot if all of your opponents fail to get any selections correct.
3.If all players fail to get any of their selections correct then all will be offered a share of the pot ( pro rata ).

5.All players who are subject to a share will be alerted and a decision has to be made no later than Monday midnight.( If no decision is made we take it as read that you wish to continue ).
Arrive at round 10 and we have some very lucky/good players on our hands as in essence you have just completed a thirteen team accumulator.
All winnings will be paid out via bank transfer only ( the same as it came in ),i will message the winner(s) requesting their bank details and money will be transferred immediately.
On completion of each competition there will be a short pause ( about two weeks ) where we will offer places to other forum members who may be interested in coming in and adding to an already respectful pot.
With five pounds now released from every player the pool pot now sits at...
£0
