    Below are all the fixtures for the first round ties of the FA CUP 2017/18

    The object of the competition is as follows;

    Pick any three teams. (It does not matter if someone else picks the same teams).

    Goals = Points for You! (Your team does not have to win, the object is goals scored).

    Replay goals count too. (penalty shoot outs do not count)

    In the next round you can pick another three teams.

    Example, you pick;

    Gillingham they lose 2-3
    Portsmouth they draw 2-2 then win their replay 2-1
    Blackburn they win 3-0

    Therefore you would receive 9 points (including the two goals from the replay).

    I'm boycotting this competition - on the grounds that brb has got Gills down to lose ! What does he know ? You can tell he's talking out of Tommy Trublu's rear end when he says that Gills are going to score two goals in a match !

    Brackley
    Burscough
    Dover

    ON A SERIOUS NOTE -- if points are awarded for goals - brb has not stated anything about points NOT being awarded for goals in any replays - clarification please !

    Ok, after some thought, I will count replay goals too. My reason of logic behind that is it gives the lesser ranked teams more opportunity to accrue goals. I will update the OP (original post).

    ps. OP updated to reflect changes and to note that penalty shoot outs do not count.

    Table but pending an update from outstanding replays for the total goals scored;

    1. KFG = 10
    2. The Shouting Man = 9 - pending Billericay replay
    2. brb = 9
    2. DebbieA = 9
    2. MJK007 = 9
    6. The Changing Man = 8
    6. The Gills PegLeg = 8
    8. geoffthegills = 7 - pending Accrington replay
    8. allbluelenny = 7
    8. Resurgam = 7
    11. gioblues = 6 - pending Posh replay
    12. Patchy70 = 5
    13. grumpygit = 4 - did not state City or United for Oxford selection but gave him the highest goal scoring team ...of 1 <laugh>

    Pending the replays the table will probably change but if anyone thinks they didn't get points they should have please let me know.
