All you have to do is predict a team each weekend that you think will win their game.  If your team wins then you go through to make a selection from the following weekend's fixtures, and so on, until there is only one entrant left, ie Last Person Standing.
Rules
1.     £10 one off entry fee.
2.    Teams to be selected from Saturday and Sunday fixtures in the English Premier League, Championship, Leagues 1 and 2 and Scottish Premier League.
3.    You cannot select a team more than once.
4.    Entries to be received by Friday, there will be NO reminders.
5.    If the last few go out in the same week then the pot will be shared.
6.    If you either forget to enter or your game is called off then you get a default selection. This will be the highest placed Premier League team playing at home on the weekend in question. Obviously entrants who have already used that selection previously would get the next highest and so on. League positions to be based on the table prior to the first Saturday kick off.
