Do y’all want to do “Wembley” again?

If so pick a team from the Extra preliminary round due to be played next weekend - see link below (this may open a PDF depending on what device you are looking on)

https://www.thefa.com/-/media/

As per last year if you lose you switch to the team that beat you

One question -

Shall I do like last year where you just keep going changing teams every time you lose or if you lose to a the team of another TWTD member you drop out?

Happy to take a majority view on that one

AFC Greenwich Borough

Knock out seems ok. Maybe at a later stage of the competition and no not the final.

Yep, go for it please Keno.
Personally I think all the effort you put in for us and yourself didn’t really deliver the reward it deserved fun wise.
With this in mind I’d definitely go for the knockout option as It kind of felt a bit pointless especially after the initial team selection went out really and this would make it a little more jeopardy like…. But in a random way.
Not quite sure how it would work but I guess initial choice gets replaced by the team that beats it and becomes your new team unless you lose to a team already selected by another competitor ?

Based on aloans suggestion I thinking of everyone continuing until we get to round 3 proper and then changing to knock out

So if your not drawn against a fellow twtder in round 3, do you continue to adopt a team till you do inevitably get drawn against a competitor?

Thanks for doing this again Keno. I'd like to follow Kimberley Miners Welfare who are playing the Rushden and Diamonds phoenix club please.

I like the idea proposed elsewhere on the thread with knockout from the third round.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
