Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 7, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 7, 2019 Welcome to the final round of the Last Man Standing League! I will tag everyone who has taken part in a previous round, but any newcomers are welcome. The title is now well out of reach for most of our members, but there is glory enough in winning an individual round so come and get stuck in. @Viva la FCB @Lucas @The Palace Fan @RandoEFC @José @Panna King @...Dan @Bluewolf @Eco @binder @Rucksackfranzose @nudge @Storts @Batard @Stan @Tommy @StefBWFC @Cicero @Dan @Cannabis @DNA @Harry @Dr. Gonzo @DeadLinesman @SchalkeUK @Spike @BounceAroundTheGround @Azeem @CaaC - John @Bluebird Hewitt @JOSHBRFC @robosys @Mel81x @Rick @shut up @bozziovai @LFCMike @YNWA Obligatory quick reminder of the rules: - Each round of fixtures, you pick a team that you think will win their match. If they win, you survive until the next gameweek. If they draw or lose, you are eliminated from the competition. - You cannot choose a team more than once. - When we have fewer than five contenders left, you will pick a "first goalscorer" along with your weekly match winner. This is for the purposes of the tiebreaker and prevents the competition from dragging on for weeks in the event that everyone left fails to pick a match winner in the same gameweek. - In the tiebreaker, whichever goalscorer nets the earliest goal wins. This is based on the minute they score rather than the chronological timing. I.E. a player who scores in the 11th minute of a game on Sunday evening beats a player who scores in the 53rd minute on Saturday afternoon. - As always, if any of this is unclear, please ask away. Preview - Gameweek One The last clean slate of the season. I'm ignoring some upcoming games in hand that will be played - Nimes v Rennes on Tuesday 9 April and Nantes v PSG on Wednesday 17 April, so the fixtures below are next weekend;s full set of scheduled fixtures and you are choosing from these ones only. Nantes (3.80) v Lyon (1.85) Marseille (1.45) v Nimes (7.50) Caen (3.20) v Angers (2.40) Dijon (2.25) v Amiens (3.00) Monaco (1.95) v Reims (3.80) Strasbourg (2.05) v Guingamp (3.80) Montpellier (1.85) v Toulouse (4.50) Rennes (1.83) v Nice (4.33) Saint-Etienne (1.66) v Bordeaux (5.25) Lille (4.75) v PSG (1.61) My pick for Gameweek One is Marseille. Happy picking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig on the Wing Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 As their name best describes my feeling towards football at the moment, I'll pick Angers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...Dan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Marseille almost knocked half of us out in the first round there. Was 2-1 in the final seconds and the referee gave Nimes a penalty. VAR checked and reversed it...phew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted April 14, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 14, 2019 Results - Gameweek One Casualties (7) Yep, so looks like this is going to be a short competition as half of our 14 competitors have already been shown the door, or the French windows we'll have to call it. The carnage began on Friday night, with @Batard's Lyon suffering a 2-1 defeat to Nantes, eliminating him from his native Last Man Standing contest. Onto Saturday, and draws were the order of the day, @Eco and @Azeem sat on opposite sides of Monaco's clash with Reims, where a 0-0 draw sent both men to an early grave. Later, Strasbourg shafted @CaaC - John by conceding an 86th minute equaliser in their dramatic 3-3 draw with Guingamp. Sunday, and another 0-0 draw claims another man's life, @Rick unsuccessfully backing Rennes to defeat Nice. Finally, in unthinkable fashion, backing Paris Saint-Germain in the first week came back to bite @Rucksackfranzose and @Mel81x, the runaway league leaders had the opportunity to clinch another title at 2nd placed Lille, but the home side kept the title race alive in France, mathematically, by wiping the floor with their illustrious opponents and running out 5-1 winners. Bad luck guys, no points to add to your season's tally from this fifth and final round. Survivors (7) Most of our seven survivors have Olympique Marseille to thank for their progress to Gameweek Two. OM survived a late scare in their 2-1 win over Nimes to carry @RandoEFC, @Bluewolf, @...Dan, @Viva la FCB and @Lucas forwards. Also victorious on Saturday were @StefBWFC's comedy pick Angers, who beat Caen 1-0 in their own back yard. @Stan had to wait until Sunday to confirm his progress to the next gameweek, and enjoyed the most comfortable passage of all as Saint-Etienne thumped Bordeaux 3-0. Congratulations on surviving a week, that's one point on the board for our seven survivors. Please read on and make your picks for Gameweek Two. Preview - Gameweek Two Don't pick the same team twice blah blah blah, fixtures and odds below. Wednesday's game between Nantes and PSG is being ignored for the purposes of the competition, so this week's fixtures start on Friday evening. Dijon (2.62) vs Rennes (2.70) Lyon (1.25) vs Angers (12.00) Guingamp (4.33) vs Marseille (1.83) Nice (1.75) vs Caen (5.00) Nimes (2.50) vs Bordeaux (3.00) Strasbourg (2.40) vs Montpellier (3.20) Nantes (1.90) vs Amiens (4.33) Toulouse (3.10) vs Lille (2.37) Reims (2.45) vs Saint-Etienne (3.10) PSG (1.45) vs Monaco (6.50) Shouldn't be too tricky a week here, with five different odds-on winners to choose from. My pick for Gameweek Two is Lyon. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
