FAQ

How does Champions League Last Man Standing work?

Each gameweek you pick one of the clubs in the competition to win. If they win, you survive to the next round; if they draw or lose, you're knocked out. You can't pick the same club twice until your used-team list resets. The last player standing wins the pool.

What happens if everyone is knocked out in the same week?

That's the owner's call when they set the pool up. By default the pool restarts: everyone is back in for the next gameweek, including anyone knocked out earlier, with used teams cleared. The owner can instead let only the players knocked out that week play on, or have them share the win.

Can I pick the same team again?

Not until your used-team list resets - rationing the strong Champions League clubs across the season is a core part of the challenge. The owner can allow re-use, or reset used teams on a rollover.

How many people can play?

As many as you like - it's free, and the bigger the pool the longer it tends to run before someone takes it.

What's the best Champions League Last Man Standing strategy?

Plan a few gameweeks ahead instead of grabbing the biggest club every round. Strong favourites at home are the classic banker - but everyone else picks them too, so one shock result can wipe out half the pool while a braver pick sails through. Check the upcoming fixtures before you commit, be wary of derbies and awkward away trips, and remember you can't reuse a club until the list resets: burning all your bankers in the first month is the most common way to go out.

Do players need an account?

Yes - each player makes their own pick each week from their phone, so everyone signs up (it's free and takes a moment). Sharing the pool is just an invite code or link.

Is it free?

Yes - free to play, with no subscription and no in-app purchases. Visitors who aren't signed in see a small number of ads on our public pages, which cover the hosting; signed-in members never see ads. We never handle money.
