Last Man Standing (Bundesliga)

Yea i'll make one for Serie A. Not sure i can put the same level of effort as rwo though which is why I am hesitant

Even though I'm long since out of this round, I find it a bad idea to change the rules everytime we don't like how a particular round plays out.
Last season, the round were over far too fast. This one, by chance runs longer with but few people being eliminated over weeks. That makes it interesting too don't you think?
Not to mention it's an outlier since surely next game people will go out faster even if we maintain the rules.

I think the rules are fine as they are now. Let's leave them be.

This game will stay as it is now. I'm just pondering how to make it move faster for the next game after this one.

I thought you meant for the next round.

Nah this game is just dragging too long since everyone is copying my selection IMO.

I would not change anything. You had 2/3 of the people out after 5 games, so It is not that "easy". If you did, I would just make it, only picking a winner advances you.

Well, let's see what the others say then. Mind you the rules stay the same for the current run until we have that Last Man Standing, but as soon as we start the next game, we might indeed say that only a win counts. The problem is that it might turn out that more people in one round choose the same club. But let's see what the others say.

- same rules as now
- only a win counts for all clubs
- only a win counts for first 4 clubs and win+draw for the rest
- only a win counts for first 7 clubs and win+draw for the rest
- some other idea?

How about group and knockout method?

Same format.

If you have the same game for Bundesliga, Serie A, BPL, others... you won't have people waiting for 5 weeks anymore since everyone will be implicated in various leagues.

Eintracht Frankfurt.

RG - Schalke

Somebody or everybody is going knocked out next week
elfmeter - Wolfsburg

I think next week will indeed be interesting.

This must be the longest the game has lasted.

Indeed. So here's the complete set of picks now:

Cooked-up

Ugh. I am exhausted checking whether the game is over or not constantly. Rwo kindly PM me at the time the next game is starting.

Be in good spirits people, this will be over as fast as it was slow so far.

Either elfmeter wins it straightaway this weekend or there's a elfmeter RG showdown next which RG wins as he can pick Bayern

RIP elfmeter.

What's wrong with Wolfsburg and Schalke ? And to some extent, Werder ? You would expect these famous clubs to be at least in the first half of the table.

Werder Bremen has allowed 18 goals in 7 matches, they really have a shit defense.
