FA Cup Upsets Game – Round One One-off Weekend Game Here’s a fun competition, and the round is a one-off, so make a prediction and then sit back and enjoy! It’s a game orientated to your forum, but we’re doing this on three sites: Reading’s ‘Royals Rendezvous’, Blackpool’s ‘Back Henry Street’ and Peterborough’s ‘The Posh’ forums – a small but select group! The idea is to have a comp each round! Have a look at the teams on the FA Cup Round ONE programme - there are League 1, League 2, National Conference and even lower included on the list. I'd like to invite you to call for FIVE matches where you see a possible upset on the cards! By upset, it must obviously be a lower league side winning (or at least drawing) against a higher league side. You haven't got to give any score, simply guess the successful 'smaller clubs' or ‘minnow’ teams! If you get it wrong doesn’t matter at all, you simply don’t get awarded points for that paricular game or games – and that will surely apply to all of us. So … how do you get points? If in your selected games a lower league side does indeed win you have 3 points. If the lower league side force a replay then it is 1 point (note - doesn’t matter if they later lose the replay). But ... bonus - if you choose an real ‘upset’ (win/draw) – a team from a league TWO tiers OR MORE lower their opponents then those points are DOUBLED. To help you, use the asterisks by the games list to make an easy-peasy selection: one asterisk (*) = one tier difference / two asterisks (**) = two or more tier differences / Meanwhile “ - ” on the list of matches means this prediction is not valid, it’s no cup upset if teams are from the same tier league! This is the real betting man's stuff - the more you risk with tier difference the more points you get, but there again, an upset is much less likely!! So you need to weigh things up!! FIRST ROUND DRAW - Burton Albion VS Peterborough United ** Port Vale VS Maidenhead United * Barnet VS Blackpool ** Bristol Rovers VS Chesham United ** Cambridge United VS Basingstoke Town * Mansfield Town VS Oldham Athletic ** Altrincham VS Barnsley ** Crewe Alexandra VS Eastleigh ** Northwich VS Boreham Wood * Coventry City VS Northampton Town ** Brackley Town VS Newport County AFC * Grimsby Town VS St Albans City * Hartlepool United VS Cheltenham ** Salford City VS Notts County * Dover Athletic VS Stourbridge * Stevenage VS Gillingham ** Millwall VS AFC Fylde ** Aldershot Town VS Bradford City - Walsall VS Fleetwood Town - Bury VS Wigan Athletic * Portsmouth VS Macclesfield Town ** Sheffield United VS Worcester City ** Barwell VS Welling * FC Halifax VS Wycombe Wanderers - Crawley Town VS Luton Town ** Doncaster Rovers VS Stalybridge ** Didcot Town VS Exeter City - Dagenham & Redbridge VS Morecambe ** Leyton Orient VS Staines Town ** Gainsborough Trinity VS Shrewsbury Town ** Maidstone United VS Yeovil Town * Braintree Town VS Oxford United * Whitehawk VS Lincoln C - Accrington Stanley VS York City - Scunthorpe United VS Southend United * AFC Wimbledon VS Forest Green Rovers - Plymouth Argyle VS Carlisle United ** FC United Of Manchester VS Chesterfield - Rochdale AFC VS Swindon Town ** Wealdstone VS Colchester United Have fun - answers on this thread please - CAREFUL closing time BEFORE KICK-OFF of the first Friday match [6th November] Points and placings for this comp will appear on this thread after the last round match has been played … Good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- My selection is: ** Northwich VS Boreham Wood * Stevenage VS Gillingham ** FC United Of Manchester VS Chesterfield * Whitehawk VS Lincoln C * FC Halifax VS Wycombe Wanderers Likewise, you just give your FIVE upsets matches! daib0 Edited by daib0, 29 Oct 2015, 09:33 PM.

** Maidstone United VS Yeovil Town ** FC United Of Manchester VS Chesterfield * AFC Wimbledon VS Forest Green Rovers * Barwell VS Welling = this is a two tier diff game mate as Barwell are in same league as Darlo (1 below conference north) and welling are in the conference) * Barnet VS Blackpool |

Is any pick against Blackpool actually considered an upset? |

The ones that I quoted are my prediction. I should've made that clear.
