It was a gripping weekend at Last Man Standing Headquarters this afternoon as we were awaiting the results in one game to see if we had a winner.
@amirtheawesome1 had kept Liverpool for a special occasion. Unfortunately the Liverpool team did not think their local derby was special enough and could not defeat Everton. Liverpool were actually lucky to come away with the draw so @amirtheawesome1 was eliminated. There would have been only one loophole that would have kept @amirtheawesome1 in the competition. And that is if everybody else lost as well.
@gingerup went for Chelsea this week. He was actually angling at Man United but went for Chelsea in the end. Another team that were lucky to come away with a win after a goal was disallowed which was the worst VAR decision since the Sissoko's hand ball in the Champions League Final of 2019. The Chelsea win meant @amirtheawesome1 finished in 3rd place. 5 HBI is on its way to you. Thanks for taking part and being such a good sport. Thanks for promoting the game on Discord as well. I am sure the next knockout will get even more people the next time around.
So with Amir gone we are through to the final of last man standing. If both teams win then you go through to next round. If both teams lose you go through to next round. The winner will be selected when one contestant wins and one contestant either loses or draws.
Anyway @gingerup went through to round 7 and we awaited the @gone-hive selection on Sunday. If @gone-hive was to lose then @gingerup was indeed the last man standing and the win was his. @gone-hive did his homework as usual and he picked Brighton to beat Leicester. The game was all over the place. Leicester went 2 goals up but Brighton turned it around and it was 2-2 by half time. @gone-hive was in heaven when Brighton did not score just one more goal to grab the winner but 3 more to win 5-2.
Fixtures Week 7
So we rock into round 7 which begins on Saturday. If you can both get your entries into me before Saturday please. I will not be chasing you two this week. If one person doesn't give me a team then the other will win by default. It is the final after all. Let's
So this week will be very very interesting to see who both contestants select as they are fast running out of good teams.
The only difference between the two contestants is one went for Brighton one week and another went with Newcastle week 1. They have chosen the top 4 (from 2021) so they are having to pick the weaker ones. As usual the 1 rule to LMS issssssss:
You cannot select a team that you selected in previous weeks.
@gingerup
Previously selected
Newcastle
Man City
Tottenham
Arsenal
Liverpool
Chelsea.
@gone-hive
Previously selected
Chelsea
Man City
Tottenham
Liverpool
Arsenal
Brighton
For this round feel free to DM me your selection on Discord if you are afraid the other contestant will just go with the same team. I am on Discord and you will find me on the @hivefpl room slagging off @belemo around Arsenal getting beat against United. We are nearing the end of this great game. I will be tagging all of you for the next Last Man Standing. Best of luck to the final two contestants to have reached this stage of picking 6 winners in a row. Something that would get you quite the compound in a bookies.
Cheers also for everyone that entered this year. We have had record entries this year with 37 people. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves and it spiced up your football entertainment if you were a neutral. I know it did with me.
I was thinking about Picking Manchester United and then Imagined if I qualify for next round, I would need a big team for the final round...
I felt Amir was going through by picking Liverpool and when West Ham Equalized, I was celebrating...@gingerup is always lucky with last minute miracle
Brighton gave me heartbreak especially when Leicester scored first...but it was a Victory that I deserved so much and the universe heard me...
I AM IN THE FINALSSSSSSSS😭😭😭🎶🎶
I AM THE BOY IN BLUE AND I AM GOING TO WEMBLEY 😭😭😭😭😭🎶🤣🎶🎶🎶
HOPEFULLY WE SEE HOW THE WEEKEND SHOW GOES
Please tag me to the next, i wish to participate in this. I'll message you on hive-fpl discord channel , so you can keep me in mind 😃
Will do @happyboy1
There's nothing but bad news this game week...
🤣 Chin up @amirtheawesome1 . You played a great game. Liverpool are just not on it like normal.
Just shows you the first "real" test Arsenal have and they failed miserably. At least we kind of know how the teams are fairing for the next round once it starts again as it should be a little easier to predict. Famous last words.
yeah I never thought of it that way. Arsenal could take a nose dive after this. If they lose one then they lose the 4 after it as well
Congratulations to the final contestants, I am looking forward to the next round.
I was surprised to see Manchester United win against Arsenal. I was on the edge of my seat hoping hahaha.
Chelsea almost gave me a nightmare but still, VAR messed the game up and I would have been out.
I'm going with Manchester United for this round. I feel so reluctant to pick them. If we lose, that sums up what we are; inconsistent team and if we win, they have made up for the years of banter I've received for their bad performances 🤣😂.
OK if you change your mind let me know.
Alright sir
Lmaaoooooo...Your last two picks were miraculously saved with late minute drama...The game of Football is beautiful....Great one!!!
You got it 😂. Liverpool and now Chelsea. Football is indeed beautiful.
I just went through our selection,we are yet to use "Manchester United"...LMAO... INTERESTING...
Just as I suspected. Both contestants have their beady eyes on Man United. Now there is an element of strategy here. If you both go for Man United both of you go into game week 8 as it will be the same result whatever the way and man United are unable to be selected again. They are away to Crystal Palace who are not bad at all so there is a risk if you think they are dead certs.
Manchester United seems to have an amazing away record but I would check other teams and see what to do
so @gone-hive and @gingerup. What are you two thinking?? You have 2 more days to make your final decision on who to pick
At the moment I have @gingerup picking Manchester United and @gone-hive on nobody so far.
Remember no selection by Saturday means you get picked the team in alphabetical order that you have not previously selected. In your case @gone-hive this would be Aston Villa as you have previously selected Arsenal. Not ideal. A tough way to go after getting this far in the contest. 😀 If you select Man United like @gingerup then both of you go through to round 8 as it doesn't matter the result if both contestants have the same team.
I have used everyone on the Top 6 present standing except Manchester United..I would use them, hopefully by next round I die by a small team to survive....
So is this another way of confirming to me that you are selecting Man UNited??🤣
Lmao...what other option do I have...Let the big six go and we play with the smaller teams..it would be interesting
United it is 😍😍😍
Die by a small team part got me 😂🤣. Let's keep pushing 💪
Lol.. 💯
🙌
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂 not Aston Villa... That would be a bummer.
well you have picked United . I was more talking about your competition
