Player Valuation: £10m
Everton V Wigan

Man City v Barnsley

Millwall v Blackburn

Man Utd v Chelsea/Midd

Three better sides than us left in it. One Is certain to be knocked out - United v Chelsea/Midd. If we can get the very lucky draw of either Millwall or Blackburn happy days. Main thing for me is avoid Chelsea or United until at least the final. Those two can turn us over good style.

I fancy us against City if we reach the final. Out of the three left in I'd want City. Thought?

On the premise that we beat Wigan other factors may be in play such as the priority our later opponents place on winning the FA Cup (over League or European considerations). City may be looking to ensure 2nd place. There's no point in worrying about it though.

Can't help but look past the fixture including the semi final. I'm sure everyone has. We've got a great draw. If we had Chelsea, United or City it would be hard to look past the next fixture. There's no guarantees but we should beat Wigan at home.

Chelsea are sh1ye at the moment. Give me them over city and UTD any day

UTD will beat chelsea city will beat barnsley, no idea about millwall blackburn tbh.

Anyway, we should be left with, utd, city or millburn

Eitherway, I expect UTD to beat us at some point.
 
Yeh I'd rather see Chelsea put United out but Over recent seasons Chelsea have been the cup team so neither would benefit us. This is going to be a tough to lift even if we get past the 6th and Semi.
 
On squad talent alone, 11 vs. 11, I fancy us against anybody in a one off 90 minute game.

The problem is it's not that simple!

Like everyone else, we can't look past Wigan. Much, much bigger upsets have happened and you only have to look back at our 1995 cup win to see the danger in a bunch of relegation strugglers looking to give their fans something to cheer.

IF we get past those, as long as we avoid Chelsea I'd give us a great chance of getting to the final.

I really want this to happen, Obvious I know but, we need a bit of luck for a change.
Winning it would be hilarious!
 
Lose to Wigan on penalties I reckon.

Wigan go on to meet Barnsley in the final.

We're less likely to beat the Manchester clubs than we would have been last year, because the league is pretty much decided, and will certainly be by April. They won't be putting out any weakened teams, especially City who are desperate for silverware to justify their existence.
