Dundalk wrote:The basic idea is that each player picks a different team each week to win their weekend fixture. Win and you're still in, draw or lose and you're out.

The overall winner is The Last Man Standing.

Rules:

1. Your first entry must be in by 11:59pm on Friday 14th of August. That's the cut off point for entries. You must come back to this thread every week (providing you have survived the previous week) and pick another team for the following week. Just remember you can't pick a team you have already used previously. The entry for each week must also be in by 11:59pm on the Friday of that week.

2. Weekend Premier League fixtures only (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). If there is a full fixture list during the week, then there will be a game round during that week.

3. Win only! Draw or lose and you're out.

4. You can only pick each team once. So keep track of which teams you have already picked. You can pick a team that someone else has already picked. It just means you can't pick that team again.

5. I will keep the 1st page updated with players and the teams they have picked.

7. If everyone remaining is knocked out the same weekend, they will be put back in for the next week until we have a winner.

8. If 2 or more teams somehow make it through 20 matches, then they can pick from all the teams again.

9. For those that haven't picked by the cut off point they will be knocked out. This ensures only committed players continue to play.

12:45 Chelsea v Hull
15:00 Aston Villa v Wigan
15:00 Blackburn v Man City
15:00 Bolton v Sunderland

i'll have liverpool

We call these "Survivor Pools" back in the States. Totally different dynamic in the Prem, where there is a clear Big 4, only 10 matches per week, and draws counting as a loss. Normally you would want to save your "sure things" until you absolutely needed them, but then you risk going out early. United is certainly the "sure thing" pick of the week, but I want to keep them in play for later, because whats the use of just advancing to the 2nd round. I either want to be in good shape to win it our go out early.

I am going with Villa.
