On to Game 6

We all start again from scratch.

All players (new and old) are welcome! Anybody can join and the game sheet is wiped clean when a new game starts. You can choose any team from the Premier League.

A reminder of the rules:

1. Your first entry must be in before the start of the fixture you have chosen. You need to come back to this thread after every round of fixtures (providing you have survived the previous week) and pick another team for the following round of fixtures. Just remember you cannot pick a team you have already used previously in this game.

2. All full(ish) Premier League fixture rounds will be used. (Note: There will be an awful lot of midweek games so please keep your eyes peeled.)

3. Win only! Draw or lose and you're out. In the event of an abandoned game the score at the time of the abandonment will be used.

4. You can only pick each team once in each game. So keep track of which teams you have already picked. You can pick a team that someone else has already picked. It just means you cannot pick that team again in this game but this will be reset at the end of each game. Normally, a game will last 7 or 8 rounds of fixtures, but not always.

5. I will keep the article updated with players and the teams they have picked.

6. If everyone remaining is knocked out the same weekend, they will all be put back in, with the exception of those who have not made a choice in time, for the next set of games until we have a winner.

7. If 2 or more players somehow make it through 20 matches, then they can pick from all the teams again.

8. For those that haven't picked by the cut off point they will be knocked out. This ensures only committed players continue to play.

9. If a game is postponed, then those who have chosen one of those teams, have until the cut off time to change their choice. If they don't re-submit, then sorry but they are out. (That means you are out BEFORE the games start and, therefore, in the event of nobody guessing a winning team, you will NOT be re-entered the following week's games)

10. If more than 50% of the fixtures are postponed then the game will be deemed unplayable for that set of fixtures only and all survivors will be put through to the next set of fixtures.

The overall winner is the LAST MAN STANDING

The first set of fixtures are:

WHU v Wolves (Friday 10th April 8.00pm)

Arsenal v AFCB (Saturday 11th April 12.30pm)

I have utilised the extra time afford by this international. Instead of just making a knee-jerk reaction and blindly selecting the Cherries, I have used the data, statistics and analysis available via the interweb thingy. Having carefully studied xg, xga, b, c, and d, analyzed the relevant fixtures for the past decade, reviewed the miles run by each individual player per minutes on the pitch, surveyed the inside leg measurement of all players, coaches, owners and groundspeople at every club, totaled them up and divided them by the number of people involved to give an xailm (expected average inside leg measurement), I reached this conclusion.

I'm a totally biased, heart ruling head kind of Cherries fan, so ballcocks to all the info. It's the usual for me please Audenshaw, I'll pick the Cherries. Thank you : )
 
I totally admire @table 's resolve in selecting AFCB in round 1 in every game, without exception, and have to agree that his reasoning above is perfectly sound. Sadly, however, I really have to go against the grain here and painfully select Manchester United.
 
If it gets to all 20 teams then there'll never be a better chance for WOLVES to actually win a game

Yes they're terrible, but so are West Ham

So I'll pick Wolves so I don't have to pick them again
