85 players had made it through to Round 2. Seven different teams were picked in this round.

On Saturday, in the 3pm games, Arsenal welcomed Everton to the Emirates – 24 players had picked the Gunners. No selection was received from Lee Jones or Paul Hallett so they also got Arsenal, by default – a goalless draw sees them all drop out. Liverpool returned to action as Fulham visited Anfield – 15 players had picked the league leaders but a 2-2 draw saw them head for the exit. Newcastle faced Leicester at St James’ Park – 18 players had picked the Magpies and a 4-0 win sees them ease through to the next round.
On Sunday afternoon, Brighton had their derby with Crystal Palace – Dan Wei, Jack Smith, Lisa Mensah, Mark James and Ste Wilkinson had picked the Seagulls but a 3-1 puts them out. Later in the evening, Chelsea hosted Brentford at Stamford Bridge – 14 players had picked the Blues and they progress with a 2-1 win. Bottom of the table Southampton took on Tottenham at St Marys – Cameron Green, Carl Jackson, Gisela Mowles and Marie Robinson had picked Spurs and a 5-0 win puts them through.
We then had to wait for Monday night as Bournemouth welcomed West Ham to the Vitality stadium – Anthony Donafee, Ian O’Brien and Tony Smith had picked the Cherries but a 1-1 draw sees them also drop out.

In total, 49 dropped out in this round, leaving 36 players still standing.  Deadline for Round 3 is Friday 20th December at noon. A full update can be viewed here.

Just a quick footnote – a couple of people have mentioned they are on holiday. If anybody wants to send me selections in advance, then feel free to do so – a couple of people already do this anyway. You can always change your selection before the deadline is reached (or an update has already been sent out!).
