The two games

Every match week you pick one team to win. That single pick counts toward both games at once: the survival game (Last Man Standing) and the season-long league (Champion).

Last Man Standing

Only a win keeps you alive — a draw or a loss knocks you out for the round. You can pick each team only once per round; it resets when a new round begins. A round ends when one player is left standing, and they win it. If everyone still alive loses in the same week, the winner is decided by tiebreakers: a draw beats a loss, then the lower-placed team picked wins, then best goal difference.

Season Champion

Even after you're knocked out of a round, you keep picking every week. Each pick scores like the real EPL table — win 3, draw 1, loss 0 — all season. Most points at the end is Champion (ties broken by most rounds won).

Deadlines

You can only pick a team whose game hasn't started yet. Your pick locks when the first game of the match week kicks off. All times show in your local time.

Forgot to pick?

You won't be knocked out just for forgetting. If you haven't picked when the first game of the week kicks off, the app picks for you: the club that comes first alphabetically among the ones you haven't already used this round. So if you've used none of them, that's Arsenal; if Arsenal's gone, Aston Villa; and so on. An auto-pick counts exactly like one you made yourself, and it's marked with a ⏰ so everyone can see it was automatic. If you've somehow used up every club still playing that week, there's nothing left to give you and you take the miss.

No peeking — looking is what locks you in

You can see who has picked at any time, but not what they picked. Making your pick doesn't reveal anything: put one in early so you don't forget, then change your mind as often as you like right up to kick-off.

When you want to see everyone else's picks, tap Show everyone's picks — and that's the trade. The moment you look, your pick is final for the week. You can't peek and then switch. A 🔒 next to a player means they've looked too, so their pick can't move either. Once the first game kicks off nobody can change anything, so the whole week opens up for everyone. Past match weeks are always visible.

The money

$50 to enter the season. Those buy-ins are the season pot and go to the Season Champion at the end of the year.

$10 per LMS round. Win the round and you take the whole pot — every stake including your own.

You can sit a round out. When a new round starts you're entered automatically, but you can opt out any time before that round's first game kicks off and it costs you nothing. You keep picking every week either way, so your season table points never suffer for it — you just aren't in that round's survival game or its pot.

Everyone's running balance is on the Money screen, with the line-by-line workings. We settle up once, at the end of the year.
