How to enter and play the Last Man Standing competition 2023/24

Welcome to the 11th season of the unofficial Fantasy Football Scout Last Man Standing competition, which is built into the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

The aim of this competition is simple: you just have to keep your team above the elimination mark each week for 37 Gameweeks.

The winner receives a free Fantasy Football Scout Premium Membership for the 2024/25 season.

HOW TO ENTER

Simply enter the code ’x9free’ in your leagues’ section on the FPL site.

After that, avoid being on the last few pages or so of the league to stay alive.

Known-banned Fantasy Football Scout posters will be removed.

The end of January (before Gameweek 22) will be the closing time for entries.

Entry will be open until Monday 9am before the last game of Gameweek 1 then opened again at selected times during the season to keep numbers down, as admin for the competition is even more time-consuming than it was previously.

Make sure to enter by Monday morning as it will be more difficult to enter afterwards.

For those entering after Gameweek 1, you must pass all the previous safety scores to qualify.

Safety scores can be found here. (https://torresmagic.webs.com/lmsupdate.htm)
