Last Player Standing is a betting competition where a group of people each put in a stake and predict one team to win in a competition each week.
If that team wins, they progress into the next round, if they draw or lose, they are eliminated.
Each team can only be picked once throughout the game; eg, if you pick Liverpool to win in week one, you cannot pick them again during that edition of Last Player Standing.
The goal is to be the final player left at the end of it all. The winner takes the full pot.
This weekend, Manchester City face a tricky trip to Elland Road to take on Leeds United on Saturday night, whilst leaders Arsenal welcome London rivals Chelsea to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
This week’s best Last Player Standing tip: Manchester United
Manchester United will look to continue their fine run of form on Sunday afternoon as they welcome Crystal Palace to Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick’s impressive start to his second spell in interim charge of Manchester United continued on Monday night, as they secured a 0-1 victory away at Everton.
The ex-Manchester United midfielder has now won five and drawn one of his opening six Premier League games in charge of his second spell, meaning they head into MD27 in fourth position, just three points behind third-placed Aston Villa.
Crystal Palace snatched a last-gasp win over rock-bottom Wolves last weekend to ease their relegation fears.
However, that was just the Eagles’ second Premier League victory from their last 12 Premier League outings (W2-D3-L7), and it’s likely they’ll leave Old Trafford empty-handed on Sunday.
MFT’s top Last Player Standing pick: Manchester United
Given we have still yet to use them, it makes plenty of sense to make Manchester United our Last Player Standing selection this weekend, given the contrasting form of both sides.
What’s more, the Red Devils have a few tricky games coming up away at the likes of Newcastle United, Bournemouth and Chelsea, as well as home games against Aston Villa and Leeds United, so this weekend looks like an opportune time to take them.
