What is The Pikk League?
How to play, and rules for scoring
Last One Standing meets Fantasy League?
The Pikk League is a football prediction game that combines the simplicity of Last One Standing with a points based league.
How it works
Each gameweek, pick one team to win.
A winning pick scores points.
A draw or a loss scores no points.
If you do not submit a pick before the deadline, you score 0 points for that gameweek.
At the end of the season the player with the most points in the league is declared the winner.
Scoring
There are four ways to score points throughout the season:
- Game Bonus - a one-off bonus based on the difficulty of your pick.
- Streak Bonus - a reward for consecutive winning picks.
- Streak Milestone Bonus - extra points awarded at certain streak lengths.
- Badge Bonus - season-long rewards for winning with different teams.
Combining these different scoring methods rewards consistency, strategy and taking calculated risks.
Game Bonus
The Game Bonus rewards more difficult picks — the harder the prediction, the more points you can earn.
It is based on the relative strength of both teams and whether the match is played home or away. Strong favourites at home earn fewer points, while underdog and away wins are rewarded more heavily.
For example, backing Arsenal at home to Fulham will score fewer points than backing Fulham to win away at Arsenal.
You’ll see the potential Game Bonus before making your pick. If you want to understand how it’s calculated, you can view the full breakdown here.
Streak Bonus
Winning picks build a streak.
To continue a streak, you must pick a different team each time. Reusing a team during the same streak causes the streak to reset.
The goal is to achieve a Perfect 10 - ten consecutive winning picks with ten different teams.
Your streak bonus equals the length of your streak, so longer streaks are increasingly valuable.
Streak Bonuses

| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |

| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |

| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 9 |
| 10 (Perfect 10) | 10 |
Streak Milestone Bonuses
Additional bonuses are awarded when your streak reaches certain milestones:
- 3 wins: +3 points
- 5 wins: +5 points
- 10 wins: +10 points
Streak Milestone Bonuses
| Streak Length | Milestone Bonus |

| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 0 |

| 8 | 0 |
| 9 | 0 |
| 10 | 10 |
Completing a Perfect 10 awards a total of 73 streak points before the streak resets.
Badge Bonus
Badges reward variety over the course of the season.
Every time you record a winning pick with a different team, you earn a badge.
There are twenty badges available, one for each Premier League team.
Reaching certain badge milestones increases the value of your season badge bonus total
- 3 badges: 3 points
- 5 badges: 5 points
- 10 badges: 10 points
- 15 badges: 15 points
- 20 badges: 20 points
For example, over the course of the season, if you pick winners with 10 different teams, your badge bonus will be 10 points. If you manage all 20, you'll get the full 20 point bonus.
Winning
The player with the most points at the end of the season wins the league.
Tie-breakers
If two or more players finish level on points, the following tie-breakers apply:
