Last Man Standing

[Baz]

I'm back once again with some top tier forum contribution.

Who wants to play? I presume most know the rules but:

- You start with 3 lives.
- You pick a team every week and if they lose or draw, you lose a life.
- If you don't pick a team, you also lose a life.
- Correction: if someone fails to pick in time they get they highest league positioned team they have yet to pick by default.
- You can only pick a team once.
- If you've chosen all 20 teams (ie played 20 rounds and still have lives) your teams reset.
- Will be limited to Premier League fixtures every week.
- £5 entry (or £10?)
- Last man standing takes all the money.
- If we all reach 0 before there is a last man standing, nobody wins and there is a rollover.
- In the event of a rollover, everyone must pay the entry fee again and it gets added to the pot.
- In the event of a rollover, newcomers may join. However, people cannot join once a game has progressed beyond round 1.

I'll be creating a spreadsheet to do all the calculations for me, so that combined with collecting money (and starting a new job), it's unlikely this will be ready for this weekend or the midweek ones after that. I'll try and set it up for the games on Saturday 22nd October, which will give us 4 rounds before the World Cup starts. Or happy to start after the world cup (first round would be boxing day) if people prefer.

Reply if you want to play, whether you want £5 or £10, and whether it should start 22/10 or 26/12.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

We're trusting you with the money? That didn't work out too well last time.

[Don]

I'll be in for whatever entry fee maximises my winnings but ideally with Mahow banned for that post (on top of his other shite).

[Offshore Toon]

I'm in.

[SvN]

I'm in for a tenner

[Mike]

I’ll have a go

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm in for ten big ones.

[Boydy]

Count me in.

[Lofty]

I'm in but I believe that the rules are actually if someone fails to pick in time they get they highest league positioned team they have yet to pick by default, Barrington.

[Boydy]

What happens if we get to the end of the season and no one has won? Rollover to next season?

Why not just split the money to whoever goes out in the last round if there's like 3 left and they all go out in the same week?

[phonics]

I'm in.

Personally I think it should start on the week the fixtures reset (so after the 19th game of the year)

[Manc]

I'm down.

[Dave.]

I'm in for £5 or £10.

[-james-]

In for a tenner.

Is there built in validation to flag someone selecting the same team twice?

[Baz]

Is there built in validation to flag someone selecting the same team twice?

Yep.

[Don]

Liv please, sir.

[Lofty]

[SvN]

Are you allowed you change your choice?

[Offshore Toon]

Money sent. Liverpool.

[Baz]

Sorry Manc, added.


Are you allowed you change your choice?

Yeah up until the deadline.

[SvN]

Yeah up until the deadline.

You might want to change your pick, then.

[Baz]

You might want to change your pick, then.
We’ll see. My plan was always going to be to pick whoever is against United.

[Baz]

Was hoping we’d get more than 9.

[Baz]

Mike phonics Dave. -james- You still in, lads? Make your pick, can send money after payday or whatever.

I'm also changing to Liverpool.

[phonics]

I'm at work. Let me think and I'll post one on the way back.

[Mike]

Send you the money
Liverpool please

[-james-]

Paid. West Ham plz.

[phonics]

Fulham

I just sent monies.

I pick Liverpool.

Thanks.

[Waffdon]

Everton. Money sent to your bank account

[Baz]

https://i.imgur.com/PehN4aH.jpg

Hopefully I’ve not missed anyone?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:eyemouth:

[phonics]

Money sent i was working at 4am and didn’t want to miss the deadline.

[Boydy]

:eyemouth:
:D

Really surprised at how many went for Liverpool.

[Dave.]

:eyemouth:

Save the :eyemouth: until all games are completed

[Waffdon]

Now for an Everton win and a Brighton defensive masterclass.

[phonics]

Lost almost 50% of the group with everyone but me and Waff choosing big teams. Fingers crossed for a Mitro masterclass.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

West Ham is a big team?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

:eyemouth:

LMS cursing teams.

[phonics]

Fulham was never in doubt and I definitely didn’t think they were at home.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

West Ham :cool:

Never in doubt.

[Waffdon]

Man City for me next week please.

[phonics]

Already down to 7 with 4 people having the Man City gimme is interesting.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Already down to 7 with 4 people having the Man City gimme is interesting.

7 with full lives. The others have 2 lives now.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's 3 lives isn't it? So the losers live on.

[Dave.]

West Ham :cool:

Never in doubt.

Time to bring out the :eyemouth:

:lol:

[Dave.]

Arsenal for me next match please.

[Baz]

Week 2
Leicester vs. Man City
Bournemouth vs. Tottenham
Brentford vs. Wolves
Brighton vs. Chelsea
Crystal Palace vs. Southampton
Newcastle vs. Aston Villa
Fulham vs. Everton
Liverpool vs. Leeds
Arsenal vs. Nottm Forest
Man Utd vs. West Ham

[Offshore Toon]

Newcastle

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'll have Arsenal.

[Boydy]

Oh, we have lives. I thought you were out if your team didn't win.

[phonics]

Lives? Pathetic.

Tottenham then.

[Baz]

I guess I should have posted the rules in the opening post. :eyemouth:

[Boydy]

I guess I should have posted the rules in the opening post. :eyemouth:

Any time I've done one of these before there were no lives.

[Boydy]

Newcastle for me please, Barry.

[Boydy]

Actually, no, ignore that. Liverpool please.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Liverpool for me.

[Waffdon]

Yeah, I should have read the rules too lol. In that case, can I change from Man City to Brentford please.

[-james-]

Arsenal

[phonics]

Tottenham. 3 lives in a survivor pool is so dumb.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Should have been 10 lives and run it into the 25/26 season.

[Don]

Man City.

Given the presence of City and Liverpool, 3 lives works quite well to make this interesting.

[SvN]

I also thought there was only 1 life each. Probably makes more sense to have lives, given the number of people that would already be out after 1 week.

[SvN]

Spurs for me this week.

[Manc]

Liverpool.

[-james-]

I think this will be over quicker than people think. 10 weeks maybe.

[Dave.]

Any time I've done one of these before there were no lives.

Same here but when I've done it before, it's been with more people. With the amount of people we've got, it makes sense to go with three lives.

[Boydy]

Yeah, it works. I'm not saying it's bad. It's just not what I expected/I should have read the rules properly.

[Waffdon]

I don’t understand going for big teams if you have 3 lives. That’s why I never properly read as assumed with half the board going City/Arsenal/Liverpool it was one hit and you’re oot

[Lofty]

Man City then. Lives :cool:

[Lofty]

I was thinking this morning whilst walking the dog, if this is successful we should consider a sweep for the world cup.

[Mike]

Arsenal please

[Baz]

I was thinking this morning whilst walking the dog, if this is successful we should consider a sweep for the world cup.

There are 32 teams in the World Cup. We scraped 14 for this.

[Baz]

I’ll have Newcastle.

[Lofty]

There are 32 teams in the World Cup. We scraped 14 for this.

One entry gets two teams could work.

[Manc]

You'd imagine a lot of people will come out of the woodwork for the WC. Get it going Lofty.

[SincereTheRebel]

Looks like a missed out on this but Bravo to you Baz. That spreadsheet looks fantastic.

[-james-]

Sweepstakes are shite. Get a prediction game or something going.

[Baz]

Being outperformed by Taz on football score prediction must be tough to take.

[phonics]

I’ve also got 3.

[Waffdon]

we don't exist bro

[Don]

Being outperformed by Taz on football score prediction must be tough to take.

They even lurk the Last Man Standing threads in search of breadcrumbs. Massive.

That was closer than I wanted it to be :D

[Boydy]

West Ham. Apologies, Boyd.
:moop:

Knew I should have changed after this.

[Waffdon]

Offft, that Haaland penalty saved it from being a Jimmy/Waff clean sweep as far as I can see.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Joy for the board's biggest Chelsea fan, and I'm quite pleased too.

^ isn't that joke structure unbeatable? Always delivers.

[-james-]

Can we have an update on the state of play please, Bazwald?

[Dave.]

One life left.:lol:

[Mike]

Same

[Waffdon]

Joy for the board's biggest Chelsea fan, and I'm quite pleased too.

You’ll have to show me around the gaff when I’m next down.

[Baz]

Can we have an update on the state of play please, Bazwald?Yeah will tot it up tonight, post our league table and next weeks fixtures.

Last ones before the WC break, I wonder if anyone will go out.

[Waffdon]

Manc already is, isn’t he?

[Manc]

Done and dusted. Remarkable effort.

[Waffdon]

I’ll take that positioning having only picked 3 dreadful teams so far. Gonna have to continue with that theme and go Crystal Palace please.

[Boydy]

https://i.imgur.com/d4jfz1d.png

Lovely formatting.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Against my better judgement, I'll go for Tottenham.

[Dave.]

Manchester City please.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Arsenal.

[phonics]

Everton.

[-james-]

Liverpool.

[igor_balis]

Done and dusted. Remarkable effort.

Bad luck mate I was rooting for you

[niko_cee]

Liverpool.

With last week being the only one where no one backed Liverpool I sense another bad weekend on the horizon.

[Waffdon]

I’m going down the route of hoping to sneak by with these mid table teams and then obliterate the big boy picks on the home straight. Winter schedule might cock that up though.

[Boydy]

Arsenal for me, please.

[SvN]

Liverpool

[-james-]

I’m going down the route of hoping to sneak by with these mid table teams and then obliterate the big boy picks on the home straight. Winter schedule might cock that up though.

Bookies fav if you play it right from here. At danger of picking the shite one week too many though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Don't tell him ffs.

[-james-]

I'd be a layer anyway, my autism makes me the true fav.

[phonics]

Just saw the result and thank god that’s the fa cup. I am fucked.

[Boydy]

[Waffdon]

Another two people eliminated. The big boys aren’t half cocking people over

[phonics]

Everton was such a bad pick.

edit: This post was made before Bournemouth scored.

[Dave.]

Out already.:lol:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Out already.:lol:

At least you lasted longer than Manc.

[Waffdon]

as if picking Crystal Palace wasn’t bad enough but they’re currently letting me down for £1700 off £2. Missed a penalty at 0-0 as well :sick:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Matters equally not. I dodged a loss.

Great dodge.

[SincereTheRebel]

Thanks to Baz formula, I've been running my own version with the World Cup. 28 man with over £500 in the pot. Not even into the final group stage matches and there are only two man left. I only went with one life, as there are only seven rounds of games. I thought it would be easy :cab:

[Baz]

Week 5
Brentford vs. Tottenham
Chelsea vs. Bournemouth
Leicester vs. Newcastle
Crystal Palace vs. Fulham
Everton vs. Wolves
Man Utd vs. Nottm Forest
Leeds vs. Man City
Southampton vs. Brighton
Arsenal vs. West Ham
Aston Villa vs. Liverpool

[Waffdon]

I really shouldn't trust us at home to a newly promoted side but fuck it.

Man United.

[Don]

Chelsea.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Against my better judgement, I'll take Chelsea.

[SvN]

Arsenal

[Boydy]

Man U.

[-james-]

Chelsea

[phonics]

Im debating Newcastle or Brighton, will get back to you.

[Baz]

Im debating Newcastle or Brighton, will get back to you.

Go on.

And Lofty still to pick.

Think everyone else is out.

[phonics]

Newcastle.

[Lofty]

Fuck sake

[Lofty]

I'd have had Newcastle if it wasn't too late.

[phonics]

Would have been a great pick :cool:

[Don]

You can still pick one of the remaining games, no?

[phonics]

Both my picks were absolutely spot on. I’m not going to win this and it’s going to be a total disgrace.

[Baz]

You can still pick one of the remaining games, no?

No. Deadline is kick off the the first game of the round.

Also
if someone fails to pick in time they get they highest league positioned team they have yet to pick by default.

So Lofty got Newcastle anyway, having already chosen Arsenal and Man City.

[Baz]

Brighton vs. Arsenal
Liverpool vs. Leicester
Fulham vs. Southampton
Bournemouth vs. Crystal Palace
Man City vs. Everton
Nottm Forest vs. Chelsea
Tottenham vs. Aston Villa
Newcastle vs. Leeds
West Ham vs. Brentford
Wolves vs. Man Utd

[Jimmy Floyd]

Can you put the scores up so I can work out how to best my ferocious rivals.

[Waffdon]

Man City

[Boydy]

Newcastle.

[Baz]

Waff and Boydy may be incorrect as it might be counting this weeks picks. Can’t remember how I set it up.

[Boydy]

We started with three lives, right?

I've gone:
Man City (W)
Liverpool (L)
West Ham (L)
Arsenal (W)

according to your screenshot above and then Man United last night so one life remaining looks right.

[Boydy]

Also James v Jimmy, what a clash, stats v vibes. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Thanks Baz.

Very tempted by Fulham, but I'm going to play it a little safer and go Newcastle.

[phonics]

Can't believe I let Everton ruin my record. Too cute by half.

[Don]

Newcastle.

[Lofty]

Fulham.

[-james-]

Let's have a punt on Fulham then.

United of Manchester

I'd mistook red names as forgetting to make picks.

@Don (https://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/member.php?u=69) it's this and last week.

Hilarious that Manc managed to lose 3 in a row considering he's constantly banging on about how he's watching the second half of some Bundersliga 2 match or some hispter shit. Shows who really knows ball.

[Don]

Yeah I just want it all in one place before making my next selection rather than having to flick between pages.

[Baz]

Will aim to post it with the next set of fixtures, tomorrow.

[phonics]

Manc deleting posts even though he knows I can read them like a melt.

You shouldn't be.

[Manc]

Manc deleting posts even though he knows I can read them like a melt.

I deleted it because of Don's intervention. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Of course this is when the Saudi wankers shrivel up.

[phonics]

Southampton letting me down in the last minute there. Could have had literally everyone but me lose.

[Baz]

Southampton vs. Nottm Forest
Aston Villa vs. Wolves
Arsenal vs. Newcastle
Leeds vs. West Ham
Brentford vs. Liverpool
Chelsea vs. Man City
Leicester vs. Fulham
Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham
Everton vs. Brighton
Man Utd vs. Bournemouth

Deadline is 5PM tomorrow (Monday 2nd Jan)

Here’s the picks so far Don :harold:

If anyone disagrees with being declared dead (red) please state your case below and I’ll consult my formulas.

[Don]

You piece of shit.

[phonics]

I really should pick one of the Southampton/Forest or Villa/Wolves but that Fulham winner has me leaning towards a safe pick.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Man U please.

[Lofty]

Brentford.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Man City.

[phonics]

Brentford.

I was going to call this a ballsy play but I realise you spent the last 6 weeks picking the most famous team.

[Baz]

James the only remaining player yet to lose a life. :cool:

[Waffdon]

It’s Last Man Standing, Phonics, mate. Have a day off.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Can't believe I trusted Chelsea.

[Lofty]

I was going to call this a ballsy play but I realise you spent the last 6 weeks picking the most famous team.

There's a reason I win them quite regularly, Einstein.

Lofty :cool:

[Lofty]

Leon Bailey rounds the keeper in the 94th minute with the goal at his mercy and misses.

[phonics]

That I'm down to 1 life is a fucking disgrace.

[Baz]

Not really. Most are out and lots have 1. Only Jimmy (2) and James (3) are doing better.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If you're still in at this point you're a top half performer, in a high level league, operating at the very top of the game.

Not sure James will be beaten unless I a) get lucky and b) use gamesmanship.

[Baz]

I’m running 3 games of this. One is down to the final two and it’s been spotted that one has chosen Fulham twice :face:

[Lofty]

:D

I picked Villa last night in my other one (didn't want to double up my Brentford pick), both of us finalists failing to pick a winner thus triggering a rollover :moop:

Someone I know is in a massive one for a 4k pot, they get sent out pie charts of pick percentages :D

[-james-]

I'm going to be away for the next set of games so Newcastle in case I forget.

[Baz]

I'm going to be away for the next set of games so Newcastle in case I forget.

That’s some forward planning. These are the next games, apparently:

Chelsea vs. Crystal Palace
Man Utd vs. Man City
Brentford vs. Bournemouth
Brighton vs. Liverpool
Nottm Forest vs. Leicester
Wolves vs. West Ham
Newcastle vs. Fulham
Aston Villa vs. Leeds
Everton vs. Southampton
Tottenham vs. Arsenal

Deadline is 7pm on Friday 12th January. (It’s FA Cup weekend this week)
