Just one thought - are you sure you've got the weighting right for the bonuses?

ie. Predicting who will be the last EFL team in the cup gets you the same number of points as a correct scoreline.

I decided to pick 5 points for bonuses so it's easier to remember as opposed to picking a random number. It saves me having too many numbers in my head and handing out the wrong points accidently

Yes you're fine. I'll let your bonuses through because Eastleigh was a draw and Merstham hasn't finished yet.
