Competitions Last Man Standing 2026 - 2027

Post by John in Louisiana »

We're only five weeks away and I can't wait, so.............

Welcome back to the Last Man Standing competition.

Here's what I propose for rules this season:

Players choose one team to win from the list of the week's games. If the chosen team wins the player remains in the competition. If the chosen team draws or loses the player is eliminated from that round. The last remaining player will receive one point.

If/when the round is reduced to only two remaining players those players may not select the same team.

If all remaining players are eliminated at the same time the tie will be broken thus:
  • Draws beat losses
    away goals
    home goals
If that fails to break the tie the remaining players will each receive an equal portion of the point awarded.

Players may choose whatever team they like, but no player may select any of the projected top five teams (Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, or Manchester United) in succession.

Sound good?

I'll kick off with Arsenal, please.
Coventry won't get past the new keeper Arsenal has.

I’d prefer us top of the table.
