*Played at Burgess Hill Town, removing Jersey Bulls’ normal home advantage. “Qualify” includes extra time and penalties. The score ranks contextual evidence, not permanent team strength.

Strongest contextual cases

1. Warrington Town – FIS 64.5

Warrington recovered from behind to draw 2-2 away and now return home with a two-tier advantage. Manager Paul Carden says the first meeting clarified Shildon’s attacking strengths.

Risk: Reece Daly is suspended, Ben Elliott requires assessment, and Shildon have scored heavily this season.

2. Worcester City – FIS 63.0

Worcester move from an away 1-1 draw to a home replay and operate two tiers above Knowle. Home setting and structural depth create the day’s clearest baseline-context combination.

Risk: Knowle already showed they can neutralise the tier gap.

3. Portishead Town – FIS 62.5

Tier-nine Portishead held tier-seven Wimborne 0-0 away and now gain home conditions. That is meaningful evidence of tactical resistance and creates a live upset mechanism.

Risk: Wimborne’s two-tier quality advantage remains relevant; public team news is thin.

4. Mangotsfield United – FIS 62.0

Mangotsfield, two tiers below Gloucester, earned a 1-1 draw away and now host the replay. The venue reversal and demonstrated competitiveness lift their contextual score.

Risk: Gloucester’s deeper baseline quality may assert itself over another 90 or 120 minutes.

5. Tadcaster Albion – FIS 61.5

Tadcaster held tier-seven Lancaster 1-1 away after a strong goalkeeping display and now return home. Lancaster’s own report described the original performance as laboured.

Risk: Tadcaster were reliant on goalkeeper Harry Stead and Lancaster created enough pressure to lead.

6. Hashtag United – FIS 61.0

Hashtag held higher-tier St Albans to 0-0 away. The home replay creates a plausible low-scoring upset route, but the score is driven mostly by the first-leg evidence.

Risk: A single contextual factor dominates and St Albans retain the stronger underlying tier baseline.

Method and limitations

The Strategy 5 weights are: Stakes 18%, Availability 22%, Recovery/travel 15%, Tactical fit 15%, Club environment 10%, Information integrity 10%, and Market intelligence 10%. Every team starts at neutral (50). Ratings change only where current evidence supports a positive or adverse mechanism.

For these non-league replays, the main verified inputs are the first-match result, home/away reversal, league tier, official club reporting and any confirmed availability. Thin team news prevents extreme ratings. Most matches should therefore remain paper-test or further-research cases.
