Game Rules - LMX | Last Man Standing

How to Play

1

Pick a Winning Team

Each gameweek, select one team that you think will win their match. You cannot pick the same team twice in the same league.

2

Win or Get Eliminated

If your chosen team wins, you survive to the next gameweek. If they lose or draw, you're eliminated from the league.

3

Last Man Standing Wins

The competition continues until only one player remains - they are declared the winner!

Important Rules

⏰ Auto-Assignment Policy

If you miss the pick deadline for a gameweek, the system will automatically assign you the first available team in alphabetical order from your eligible options. Auto-assigned picks will be clearly marked in your pick history.

🚫 No Repeat Picks

You cannot select the same team more than once in a single league. Choose wisely as your options become more limited as the season progresses.

⚽ Draws Count as Losses

Your team must WIN their match. Draws are treated the same as losses and will result in elimination.

Buyback Rules (League Dependent)

Some leagues may allow buybacks under specific conditions:

• Only available if eliminated in Week 1
• Must be approved by the league manager
• Buyback opportunity expires 48 hours before the next gameweek deadline

Note: Not all leagues offer buybacks. Check your league settings or ask your league manager.

Strategy Tips

💡 Save the Big Teams

Don't use strong teams early. You'll need them for difficult later gameweeks.

📊 Check Form & Fixtures

Look at recent results and opponent strength before making your pick.

🏠 Home Advantage

Teams playing at home often have a statistical advantage.

⚡ Avoid Upsets

Football is unpredictable - sometimes the safer pick is the better pick.
