This leaves us with two aces - the first is from derwipok, who in a bold and aggressive strategy doubled down on Portsmouth from the first question, after getting into the third round pot, the south coast outfit were able to defeat Fleetwood and Barnsley to reach the last sixteen.

The second is from kutuz_off, who opted for Derby County, who caused a bit of an upset in the third round by winning at Crystal Palace, and while they couldn't win at Northampton in round four, did get through the replay comfortably enough.

But wait, there's more:

10) Name a team who will reach the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey

There were, naturally, eight possible correct answers for this one, of which five were used - the unused answers being Mirandes (obv), Granada (also obv I guess) and, er, Real Madrid

First incorrect was a biggie, and it was Sevilla, whose late goal from Nolito away to Mirandes couldn't counteract the three they'd already let in, so eleanor60, derwipok, Booker Wolfbox, eyebooger and teejayC all get an expensive ten point incorrect.

Incorrects worth just eight points came from three players - lukethefluke was ace hunting with Real Betis, but they crashed out on penalties to Rayo Vallecano in the last 32, while sixfour and JMurder3 opted for Atletico Madrid, who went out at the same stage to whatever a Cultural Leonesa is after extra time

Correct answers - the sheep correct was Villarreal, who defeated the aforementioned Vallecano in the last sixteen to give PokerCrazy64, C Bids and Viggorous three points.

Worth two were Barcelona, who gave kingweed and Paasei a deuce after they easily despatched Leganes.

Also worth two are Athletic Bilbao, a win on penalties away to Tenerife was enough for Vilica and royalblue

Our final two pointer was Valencia, they also needed penalties against Leonesa, but got the win to give xander biscuits and LFC_USA a correct answer.

Our only ace of this question goes to kutuz_off, a second ace of the reveal, the selection of Real Sociedad was correct after they comfortably beat Osasuna in an all-La Liga clash

Current scores after 7/16 questions:

Vilica 20
kutuz_off 27
Paasei 28
LFC_USA 34
kingweed 35
PokerCrazy94 37
royalblue 41
derwipok 42
sixfour, eyebooger, teejayC 43
C Bids 44
Viggorous 46
eleanor60 51
lukethefluke 52
JMurder3, xander biscuits 53
Booker Wolfbox 55

Vilica still has a perfect game going through seven questions, everyone else has at least one wrong

This is going significantly better than the Premier League PEEHS.

Let's have another reveal

15) Name any team which will reach the last 16 of the Europa League

There's sixteen possible correct answers that you could go for, so it should be easy to get a correct answer? Right? Wrong.

Worst answer was from kingweed, who took the bold and aggressive strategy of assuming that an oil club would fall out of the Champions League, while that is the obvious end result of Paris Saint Germain, they did actually win their group so didn't play in the Europa League

Several players took teams that did at least get into the group stages, but couldn't get out of it - Booker Wolfbox went for early nineties indie dance band Saint Etienne who finished a clear seven points behind Wolfsburg and ended up in third place.

Also in third place were Lazio, who ended six points behind Cluj and gave JMurder3 and PokerCrazy94 an incorrect.

Our final incorrect who didn't make the knockout stages was the sheep of the round in Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were only a point behind Roma but that was enough to knock them out, sixfour, derwipok, C Bids, teejayC and royalblue all being wrong going for the twice former champions.

We had three more teams who were incorrectly chosen who fell at the final hurdle - Celtic were in an alright position after the first leg against Copenhagen but fell apart in the second leg to make xander biscuits incorrect, Sporting made it all the way to extra time against some Turkish farmers but then fell to a last minute penalty, making eyebooger incorrect, as well as Vilica who loses a perfect game.

The final incorrect choice was LOL ARSENAL, who looked like they'd be correct after Aubameyang put them ahead against Olympiacos, but conceded a late late away goal to make eleanor60 and Viggorous incorrect.

Unused possible aces included Istanbul Basaksehir, Getafe, Leverkusen, Copenhagen, Basel, Olympiacos, LASK, Man United, Frankfurt, Shakhtar Donetsk, Wolfsburg, Roma and Rangers, which means there were three correct teams picked. With four players left, that means one two pointer and two aces - the two pointer was serial winner Sevilla, whose away goals win over Cluj gave Paasei and LFC_USA a correct answer.

That gives us two aces - coronavirus couldn't stop Inter from defeating Ludogorets over two legs, lukethefluke correctly going with the Lukaku-powered Italian giants.

The other correct ace was Wolverhampton Wanderers, the Midlands club coming all the way from the qualifying rounds to the last sixteen, ending the tie against Espanyol as a contest after the first leg, kutuz_off gaining an impressive fourth ace to date

Scores after 8/16 reveals:

Vilica 25
kutuz_off 28
Paasei 30
LFC_USA 36
kingweed 40
PokerCrazy94 42
eyebooger 48
royalblue 49
derwipok 50
sixfour, teejayC, Viggorous 51
C Bids 52
lukethefluke 53
eleanor60 56
JMurder3, xander biscuits 58
Booker Wolfbox 60

Next reveal is probably the quarter finals of the Champions League question, then it's probably close to done until the end of the season

For ****s sake Gladbach. As happy as I was to see them crash and burn...

Also, props to KW for true ace-hunting

OK, this has become a bit of a cluster**** for obvious reasons, so what I'm proposing to do for unanswered questions is this:

3 - Anyone who's picked a Championship player will play on as standard, anyone who's picked a League 2 player will have the target reduced pro rata based on games played, anyone who's picked a League 1 player will follow suit once they've decided which self interest group wins out
4 - I'm going to call this as it stands - the only correct answers at present are Rangers and Livingston, while Hibs are the only team with a point at this stage, hard to think that anyone else would have picked up a win, probably easier to null and void it but want to give both the players with a correct answer some credit
5 - As the Championship are looking like they'll play out the season, we'll wait, if for whatever reason they stop early we'll call final positions per however they make it up
8 - Similar here with the Bundesliga, only as they're actually playing I'm a bit more confident we'll get a conclusion here
9 - No real clue as to what Spain's going to do so will wait and see
12 - France seems to have called the league, so as we don't know how they're going to call the last two Europa League places I'll allow anyone who's in a cup final and in 5th/6th to be correct
14/16 - Will wait for CL resumption

Alright, questions 4 and 8, let's do these:

4) Name any team which will take at least 3 points off Celtic this season
8) Name any player who will score at least 13 goals in the Bundesliga this season

Question 4's a quick one - Celtic had drawn 2 lost 2 at the time of them calling the league, they'd lost to Rangers, lost to and drawn with Livingston, and then drawn with Hibs, so there's only two correct answers. kingweed had Rangers, and lukethefluke took Livingston, so each get an ace. Everyone else was wrong, with:

Aberdeen - sixfour, JMurder3, eleanor60, Paasei, derwipok, Booker Wolfbox, eyebooger
Hibernian - PokerCrazy94, Vilica, kutuz_off
Hearts - C Bids, royalblue, LFC_USA, teejayC
St Mirren - xander biscuits
Dundee - Viggorous

Question 8's a bit longer. We had nine potential correct answers, but let's start with the incorrect answers in reverse order of goals scored:

Paco Alcacer scored 5 before returning to La Liga, kutuz_off, eyebooger, C Bids and teejayC are wrong and sheep as well
It's risky picking a Hertha player as you'll have at least two managers a season you're not in favour with, Dodi Lukebakio barely managed 2000 minutes and ended on 7 goals for xander biscuits
Also on seven was Thorgen Hazard, who somehow played more than Lukebakio despite the wealth of attacking talent Dortmund have, Viggorous is wrong
Thomas Müller finished one better, but it's still five short as far as LFC_USA is concerned
Kevin Volland crept into double figures after being passed for lots of playing time at Leverkusen, Paasei and royalblue are wrong
Also just at 10 was Alassane Plea, not someone I really know much about but the Gladbach striker couldn't get enough for derwipok
Marco Reus ended up two short, fighting for playing time in a youthful Dortmund attack, leaving lukethefluke and Vilica incorrect
Kai Havertz was one short for JMurder3
Also one short was Andrej Kramaric, he nearly got there after scoring four in the final game of the season but Booker Wolfbox is still incorrect

Unused corrects were Jadon Sancho (fair enough, it's a crowded frontline), Rouwen Hennings (fair enough, Düsseldorf are bad), Jhon Cordoba (effzeh haven't had a good striker since that guy they sold to China), Florian Niederlechner (never really done much previously so easily overlooked), Robin Quaison (he's not scoring more than he has done than the previous two seasons combined, surely) and Erling Haaland (picking someone from another league would have been quite the punt)

Corrects - sheep correct was Timo Werner, the Leipzig soon to be Chelsea forward bagging 28 for kingweed and eleanor60, he was only outdone by Robert Lewandowski which gave me an ace, and Golfsburg's Wout Weghorst got 16, finishing only behind those two and Sancho and giving PokerCrazy94 a second ace of the game.

Scores after 10:

Vilica 33
kutuz_off 38
kingweed 43
Paasei, LFC_USA 44
PokerCrazy94 46
royalblue 57
Viggorous 59
teejayC, sixfour, lukethefluke 61
C Bids 62
derwipok, eyebooger 64
xander biscuits 66
eleanor60 67
JMurder3 72
Booker Wolfbox 74

OK, I've done the scoring for all but the very last question, that still has 4 picks unresolved and won't be until at least Saturday at the earliest, so let's go through the remaining five questions, in particular order of what's easiest to resolve. First, question 5:



5) Name any Championship team which will neither be promoted, relegated or appear in the playoffs (i.e. 7th-21st)

Your target is a team in white

We had two incorrect teams selected - the first was xander biscuits selecting Newport County, interesting choice, the second was three players selecting Hull City, kingweed, royalblue and Booker Wolfbox all watching Hull go from a fairly comfortable eighth place after beating Wednesday on New Years Day, they then sold Bowen and picked up just one win and six points total for the remainder of the year to finish bottom, the highlight being conceding seven in one half to Wigan

Plenty of unused aces for this one - Derby, Bristol City, QPR, Reading, Huddersfield and Barnsley were all free, so that means nine correct answers were taken - coupled with a sheep of four for Preston North End from JMurder3, eleanor60, kutuz_off and Paasei, that means being wrong on this one was worth a costly 13 points.

Only two other picks weren't aces - Millwall have got themselves into a fairly solid state and, while they did flirt with the playoffs for a while, didn't do quite enough and Viggorous and LFC_USA are correct.

The other two pointer was Middlesbrough, who looked in a fair bit of trouble prior to the restart, but bringing Colin in was more than enough to give Vilica and C Bids a correct answer.

On to our aces - I went for Sheffield Wednesday, and I'd trade the ace for them having their twelve points deduction applied now, not next year, oh well.

PokerCrazy94 took Birmingham City, who were a bit safer than their league position appears, now their financial state is in better order, especially with the Bellingham money, they should be a decent pick next year as well.

lukethefluke took former PL champions turned dull second tier outfit Blackburn Rovers which was never in doubt.

derwipok picked Stoke City, who despite having parachute money and only being one year removed from the Premier League, looked like being wrong at the bottom of the table rather than the top for most of it before getting things together late and ending comfortably mid table.

eyebooger went for a controversial pick in newly promoted Luton Town, who pulled off a fairly remarkable escape late.

Finally teejayC was correct with Nottingham Forest, who looked in contention for automatics and were comfortably in the playoffs right up until the last game of the season, where a combination of being heaving dicked at home to Stoke while Swansea thumped Reading away saw them miss out on the playoffs on goal difference.

On to question 9:

9) Name any team who will concede four goals in one game to either Real Madrid or Barcelona in La Liga this season

The two teams scored 154 goals between them in the 72 games they played against the other 18 clubs, so it wouldn't take that much of a swing to be correct - but a few people went for incorrects. The first would have been a sheep in Levante, JMurder3, kutuz_off, Paasei and C Bids, but the Valencia-based outfit actually won both the home games, and the closest they were to being correct was a 3-2 defeat at the Bernabeu.

Another incorrect was Getafe for PokerCrazy94 - who did a bit better away from home, losing by the only goal in Madrid and by the odd goal in three at the Camp Nou, they did lose 2-0 and 3-0 at home, but that isn't four.

The final incorrect came from Booker Wolfbox with Espanyol, they finished clearly bottom but played creditably against the big two, holding Barca to a 2-2 draw at home, losing 1-0 to Real at home, they didn't score away but only conceded three in the two games combined.

There were four unused aces - Alaves lost 4-1 at Barca and 5-0 in the return leg, Valencia shipped 5 in Barcelona, Sevilla lost 4-0 at the same place and Villareal were turned over 4-1 at home, again by Barca. On to the correct answers...

The most used correct answer was Osasuna, who actually managed to win in Barcelona but despite taking the lead at home to Real, Luka Jovic completed a rout in injury time to make it 4-1 and give Vilica, eyebooger and teejayC a correct answer.

Granada was worth two points, as the old north west channel 3 lost 4-2 in Madrid, they were 3-0 down but pulled it back to 3-2, however there was another 92nd minute goal, James Rodriguez sealing the game and making eleanor60 and LFC_USA correct.

lukethefluke and Viggorous were the only others with a two pointer in Real Betis, correct nearly a year ago as they were thumped 5-2 at the Camp Nou, Griezmann getting a brace as Barca came from behind and scored four in twenty minutes, Jordi Alba making things safe with over half an hour to play.

Aces - I had Real Valladolid, correct in October as they lost 5-1 to Barca, Messi's second being Barca's fourth, Bitey adding a fifth for good measure.

kingweed had Mallorca, who were right in both games against Barcelona - Messi bagged late in a 4-0 home defeat, but the game at the Nou Camp was easier, where Messi bagging late was just to complete a hat trick and add a fifth, a 4-1 half time lead already being more than enough.

Eibar was an ace for derwipok, again correct twice. They lost 4-0 at home to Real, Benzema scoring twice, and Messi scored four on his own in February as Barcelona cruised to a 5-0 win.

xander biscuits did slightly better with this question than the last one revealed, acing with Celta Vigo, oddly correct in the same match I saw when in Barca a few years ago. There, Celta scored one as well, the only difference here is that Celta didn't keep a clean sheet, Messi had a hat trick early in the second half, and Biscuits completed the rout five minutes from time.

Finally we have royalblue, who picked Leganes, the relegated side went 2-0 down within eight minutes at the Bernabeu, Ramos and Benzema each added a penalty and Jovic added in injury time to complete a 5-0 win.

12) Name any French club who will qualify for Europe

This took a lot longer than expected, as we weren't sure whether they would finish their cup competitions which would ordinarily provide two Europa League spots. If they called those off like they did with the league, we'd have been done months ago, but they didn't, PSG won them, so it all got decided on league positions.

We had two incorrect picks - Lyon was the most common one, catching out PokerCrazy94, eleanor60, Paasei and derwipok. It wouldn't have been the sheep, that was a correct pick, so no additional points deductions, they ended up missing out by a point, they could have got out of it by winning their League Cup but lost in the final to PSG on sudden death penalties.

The other incorrect was Montpellier, coming from lukethefluke - they finished level on points with Lyon so like them missed out by a point, but had no backdoor outdraws in the cups.

France has six spots, probably due to PSG's continual Champions League failures, three were selected, three weren't - surprise Champions League qualifiers Rennes and the fifth/sixth pairing of Nice and Reims were potential aces.

We have two sheeps. The first is Lille, who with Rennes were battling for third before the season was called off, fourth was more than enough to be sure of a Europa League slot regardless of the outcome of the cups and sixfour, Booker Wolfbox, C Bids, xander biscuits and royalblue all got five points.

Also worth five points is Marseille, the clear runners up giving JMurder3, kutuz_off, eyebooger, Viggorous and LFC_USA a correct answer.

Our final correct is Paris St Germain, probably the safest pick in the entire quiz, teejayC, Vilica and kingweed with the best selection of the question and three points.

Fourth reveal of the day:

14) Name any team which will reach the quarter finals of the Champions League

Obviously there can only be eight correct answers, but plenty were possible. Let's pick off the incorrects, mostly we had teams that lost the first knockout tie, but we had a couple of picks go out in the group stages - Ajax were the odd team out in what was effectively a three team group given how bad Lille were, only getting ten points to Valencia and Chelsea's eleven and making C Bids wrong.

Inter are looking OK for the Europa League, but in a tough group with Barca and Dortmund they couldn't pick up enough for Booker Wolfbox to get a correct.
