    Because of cup 4th round some fixtures have been shifted to the following midweek, plus there's our re-arranged tie with Millwall.

    There are 10 matches to choose from, we are the only team to play twice. If you choose Watford or Middlesbrough before either team's first match you must state which match you want the prediction to apply it to. I hope that this is the only weekend/week that I have to do it this way.


    FRIDAY 22ND JANUARY
    • Stoke City - Watford 19:45
    SATURDAY 23RD JANUARY
    • Queens Park Rangers - Derby County 15:00
    SUNDAY 24TH JANUARY
    • Preston North End - Reading 12:30
    • Middlesbrough - Blackburn Rovers 15:00
    TUESDAY 26TH JANUARY 19:00
    • Bristol City - Huddersfield Town
    • Millwall - Watford
    WEDNESDAY 27TH JANUARY 19:00
    • Barnsley - Cardiff City
    • Coventry City - Sheffield Wednesday
    • Middlesbrough - Rotherham United
    • Swansea City - Brentford

    While I wait for the last game to finish, there are your available choices for the next round:

    Note that if you do want to suggest a back up in case of postponement, that your main and back up choices are from your allowed list.

    Of my 6 remaining teams, only 3 are playing.

    I'll go QPR with draw insurance (Stoke with draw insurance).

    You have 9 available, of which 6 have been unused.

    upload_2021-1-21_10-14-33.png

    The "Unused yet" list is an indicator of the teams you must use at least once by the end of the season, the 9 columns to the left are the choices you have available which include you 6 unused + 3 most distant choices; those were Middlesbrough (Round 8), Sheffield (Round 9) and Rotherham (Round 10).

    Sorry, completely missed that (just assumed the left hand side of the table were teams I had picked and couldn’t pick again). Serves me right for not paying attention.

    Can I please change my prediction to:

    MID (vs Rotherham) - no draw insurance

    If this doesn’t go ahead:

    QPR (with draw insurance)

    You lose your accumulator if the team you choose doesn't win. However if you use the draw insurance, it protects your acca if the team you choose draw their match. This feature is only of use if you have correctly chosen a win in the previous round, the more the better.

    For best use, refer to TVoR's use of it in round 14 (see the main graph above). TVoR was on a run of 4 matches, then chose a team with draw insurance; the match ended with a draw so his acca remained at 4, he went on to correctly get the next 2 right meaning he accrued 36 points in those weeks. If he'd not used the insurance, then he would have scored 20 points. (4 right = 16 + 2 right = 4).

    I hope by the 5th round there will be less of an impact.

    Next weekend stretches from Friday to Monday.
