EPL - Last Man Standing ROUND ONE.

[prophet]

Listen up! In my ongoing quest to liven up this part of the forum in celebration of the new season approaching I've decided to try start a new game! LAST MAN STANDING.

Here's how the game works. I'll post the fixtures for the EPL games at the weekend, everybody wanting to play will select ONE team to win - if your team wins you advance to the next weekend, lose and you're eliminated. HOWEVER, once you've selected that team you won't be able to pick them again. If your team draws, you'll advance to the next round but you won't be able to pick either of those teams going forward. We'll keep going with this until we have a winner, our last man standing.

Does that make sense? It does in my head but I may have done a poor job of translating it into text. The best part of the game is you don't have to follow the sport to get involved, we'll give rep out to the winner(s).

ROUND ONE FIXTURES
Man United vs Tottenham
Everton vs Watford
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
Leicester City vs Sunderland
Norwich City vs Crystal Palace
Chelsea vs Swansea City
Arsenal vs West Ham
Newcastle vs Southampton
Stoke City vs Liverpool
West Brom vs Man City

Anyone wishing to take part simply select a team and post below! Season starts in exactly a week, here's hoping some of you guys help get this off the ground! I'm trying people

[prophet]

Can i join next week?

Afraid not, sorry bud. Wouldn't be fair to let someone else begin after somebody had been eliminated. Once the first cycle of the game is done we'll be doing another, will be in a few weeks!

[prophet]

Me and Porky are eliminated! Fucking Arsenal...

Only 4 left in, looks like you'll be playing sooner than you thought @xgamr

[PorkChop]

Fuck sake Arsenal.

[SlightlyJames]

Dead after a week

[Everlong]

[SlightlyJames]

@prophet just couldn't handle elimination so he's cancelled the game
