Someone from another forum wrote:The premise is simple. Some of you will be aware of this notion from various bookies. You pick a different team every week and as long as your teams keep winning you stay in the game. The important thing is though, that you can't pick the same team twice. So if you pick Chelsea this week, that's them gone for the rest of the game for you. Once your team loses or draws, you're out of the game.
If every player in a week picks a losing/drawing team, everyone goes through to the next week, but you can't pick that team again.
Picks must be made before kick-off in the weekend's first match.
We haven't done one of these for a few years, so thought it might be fun to bring it back for the upcoming premier league season. Let's have your picks to win this weekend then!

Not me, I did my own research by reading Peter Crisp's post history and concluded that Luton will finish on 115 points. A perfect season with a bonus point for being awesome.
