2 weeks agoHow are ball numbers decided for FA Cup draws?
The Football Association bases the ball numbers for each FA Cup draw primarily on the tie numbers from the previous round. For example, the first two teams drawn out of the hat in the third-round draw will be tie number one. The winner of that game will subsequently be ball number one in the fourth-round draw. Wolves, who progressed with a 6-1 win against Shrewsbury, will be ball number one in this season's fourth-round draw as they were involved in tie number one.
