Last man standing planner

The biggest mistake in a last man standing league is burning your best teams too early. This planner ranks every club's chance of avoiding defeat in each of the next 6 gameweeks, so you can map a route that saves the big sides for the hard weeks — and never use the same team twice. New here? Read the last man standing rules first.

Suggested route

Our auto-plan looks at all these gameweeks together and saves the strongest clubs for the weeks with no other safe option, instead of just grabbing the best team each week. It's a starting point, not gospel — customise your own below.

How the planner works

Each club gets an estimated chance of avoiding defeat in every upcoming fixture, driven mainly by team strength versus the specific opponent, adjusted for home advantage and updated after every result. Recent form is folded in second, with small samples pulled back toward the league average. Under standard rules a win or a draw keeps you alive, so we optimise for not losing. This page is a planning scratchpad — your selections here are not saved. To actually submit picks, head to My Leagues. Want this week's single best pick instead? See who to pick this week.
