Teams losing in the knockout stages - Juventus would have been a sheep if they'd beaten Lyon, but lost on away goals last week, making eleanor60, Paasei, royalblue and LFC_USA incorrect.

Also wrong were last season's winners Liverpool, teejayC would have been confident of an ace before they lost to Atletico after extra time.

Another lolepl incorrect is Chelsea, getting a tough draw in Bayern and ending up on the wrong end of the most one sided last sixteen tie, making lukethefluke and Viggorous incorrect.

Yet more lolepl comes from Tottenham, who were defeated at home 1-0 by RB Leipzig, who quickly killed the tie in the second leg and eventually won 4-0 on aggregate. Vilica and kutuz_off are wrong here.

Unused aces are Atalanta, RB Leipzig and Lyon, so who got a correct answer?

Most used correct was Bayern Munich, a three pointer for JMurder3, xander biscuits and derwipok, winning all six group games then dicking Chelsea heavily to face Barca in the quarters.

Speaking of Barcelona, kingweed gets an ace here, winning their group comfortably enough before getting past a potential banana skin in Napoli.

Three more aces - the non-oil club is Atletico Madrid, which is correct for eyebooger - Atleti finished second behind Juventus in their group and got a tough opponent in Plop, but won, so this is fine.

I was the only person to go with Manchester City, the perennial European underachievers going undefeated in their group, ending up with (oddly unused) Real Madrid in the last sixteen, but Varane being pissed saw them move through with 2-1 wins in each leg.

Finally we have PSG, PokerCrazy94 getting a fifth ace of the game, they only dropped two points in a group including Real Madrid, while they needed to come from behind against Dortmund, they took the lead on away goals in the second leg through Neymar and then outright on aggregate just before half time.

Will reveal 3) Name any player who will score at least 18 goals in the Championship, League One or League 2 this season shortly, but that's going to need a bit of a mega post

So this question is a bit broken because the Championship played out the season and Leagues 1/2 didn't, so as listed earlier, Championship players get scored as normal, while those in the bottom two tiers get it pro rata based off goals per game (that the club has played). So who got selected:

Player - Goals/Games - Adjusted goal count

PokerCrazy94 - Ivan Toney - 24/35 - 31.54
kingweed: Alexsandar Mitrovic - 26/46 - 26
derwipok: Alexsandar Mitrovic - 26/46 - 26
sixfour: Lewis Grabban - 20/46 - 20
Vilica - Karlan Grant - 19/46 - 19
royalblue - Karlan Grant - 19/46 - 19
LFC_USA - Freddie Ladapo - 14/35 - 18.40
------------------
JMurder3: Nicky Maynard - 14/36 - 17.89
teejayC: Nicky Maynard - 14/36 - 17.89
eyebooger - Cauley Woodrow - 14/46 - 14
C Bids - James Collins - 14/46 - 14
Viggorous - Britt Assombalonga - 11/46 - 11
Booker Wolfbox - Ashley Fletcher - 11/46 - 11
eleanor60 - John Marquis - 8/35 - 10.51
Paasei - John Marquis - 8/35 - 10.51
lukethefluke - Padraig Amond - 8/36 - 10.22
kutuz_off - Dwight Gayle - 0/0 - 0
xander biscuits - Robbie Willmott - 0/36 - 0

Above the line = correct, below the line = incorrect, so Grant/Mitro pickers get 2, me, LFC and PC94 get an ace, everyone else gets 7. Sucks that Ladapo is right and Maynard is wrong based on the number of games played, but nothing really else I can do, if the clubs are happy to let Wycombe into the playoffs (and win them lol) via the same system, it's their fault

Unused corrects were Ollie Watkins, Nahki Wells, Paddy Madden, Ian Henderson, Armand Gnanduillet and, er, that's it

Scores with one question to go:

Vilica 51
kingweed 63
LFC_USA 63
PokerCrazy94 68
sixfour 70
kutuz_off 74
derwipok 79
eyebooger 81
teejayC 83
Viggorous 83
Paasei 84
lukethefluke 87
royalblue 87
xander biscuits 95
C Bids 96
eleanor60 97
JMurder3 103
Booker Wolfbox 118

Vilica's lead looks more or less insurmountable at this stage, it'd require kingweed or LFC probably to ace and Vilica to be wrong, and the question to be sheepy and/or have a lot of correct answers. Spoilers below:

never in doubt

thanks for running this sixfour, been fun

lol

I have no idea who Karlan Grant is, but I'll take it.

It's a good thing my entry was otherwise awful or I might be a bit annoyed by missing the 2 goals questions by a total of 1.11 goals.

I can't believe that the non-EPL English questions ended up being my best ones with 3 aces and a 2-pointer when it's the category I know least about.

Lyon aren’t wrong yet...win the Europa and enter the champions league

Good point, but I'll take my chances on the oil club

Who's ready for a final reveal? I'm having some food, but give me a quarter of an hour, then we can begin

Let's go through player by player, starting from the bottom upwards. Booker Wolfbox went for Romelu Lukaku. Our survey says:



Lukaku did nothing in his first four games, and while he was able to bag once in each of Inter's last two group stage games, then seemingly all the goals in the Europa League, that's not going to work

Second to last coming into the final question was JMurder3, who selected Antoine Griezmann, our survey says:



Griezmann bagged just once in the group stages against Dortmund, got a second against Napoli in the last sixteen, but in the quarters did nothing at all, just like the rest of his team

Next up we have eleanor60, who went with Karim Benzema, our survey says:



Braces against each of PSG and Galatasaray in the group stages result in an ace

Next, we have C Bids, who selected Dortmund veteran Marco Reus



He didn't score once

Up next, xander biscuits, his selection was Kingsley Coman



Yep, it was him we were waiting on to end this cluster****, he'd got one against Red Star then one against Spurs in the group stage, but it wasn't until he scored the only goal in the final that he was correct

Up next, both tied before the final were lukethefluke and royalblue, RB went for Coman as well, so him and xander both get two points, although luke went for Eden Hazard, our survey says:



Hazard's first season in Madrid's been a bit meh, and he didn't score at all in the Champions League

Paasei's next up, who selected Diego Costa, our survey says:



Yep, he did **** all

Two way tie up next between teejayC and Viggorous, teejay went for Hazard, which we already know didn't turn out well, but Viggorous went for Robert Lewandowski, our survey says:



The Pole ended up being correct for this answer five times over

Now comes eyebooger, he selected Mo Salah:



While Plop's title defence was an abject failure, on a personal level Salah was able to score twice in a fun game against Salzburg and then add another away to Genk to be correct for an ace

Up steps derwipok, he also had Lewandowski and is correct, so both him and Viggorous get a two pointer, so let's skip on to kutuz_off, whose selection was Christian Pulisic



He got one, so I guess that's a thing

We move into the top five, and it's up to yours truly who selected Kylian Mbappe



Hat trick away to Brugge, easy game, easy ace

Next, PokerCrazy94, who went for Sergio Aguero



Picking City players to care about Europe is a strategy that's incredibly risky, it was looking fine after he scored twice against Atalanta in the group stages, then be it a combination of Pepball and injuries, who cares, he didn't score again

Two players were tied for second going into the final question on other sides of the Plop/United rivalry in kingweed and LFC_USA - and both selected Barcelona players. One selected Lionel Messi and the other selected Luis Suarez



LFC's Bitey pick was the first to come home following a brace against Inter and then opening the scoring at home to Dortmund, kingweed's Messi took a bit longer, his goal four minutes after Suarez vs Dortmund was only his second, but the decisive goal in the last sixteen versus Napoli was good enough to give both players an ace and a share of second place guaranteed
