Death. Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Has anyone else had really weird cup draws? I'm playing as Dunfermline and before the season starts you get a draw for the League Cup and Challenge Cup. Then you play them before the season begins. The draw and results: Dunfermline 5-1 Dumbarton / Challenge Cup 1st Rnd Dunfermline 6-0 Dumbarton / League Cup 1st Rnd The exact same draw. It was a little surprising but i took it as a coincidence within the laws of probability. And i was through as expected. Great! Now for the second round draws... Dunfermline 3-2 (AET) Queen of the South / League Cup 2nd Rnd Dunfermline - Queen of the South / Challenge Cup 2nd Rnd Erm... again identical. Both home, same opposition. Now, the laws of probability suggest these two identical cup runs are really unlikely. I have drawn Motherwell in the League Cup, but top tier teams don't play in the Challenge Cup so it has to end there. Is anyone else finding anything a bit weird with their cup draws?

Vic Taylor Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 As you have said, top teir clubs don't participate in the Challenge Cup, and therefore there would be fewer teams to choose from in the draw, and therefore a higher possibility that what you have here would happen.

saviola Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 lol, this from fm 07, you will get the cup opponent is the one you will meet earliest in league if both clubs are being drawn in cup tie.
