Welcome to the13
Start with 13 points.
Each week, pick one Premier League team.
A win costs you nothing.
A draw? That’s -1.
A loss? Say goodbye to 3 points.
You’re out when you hit zero.
You can pick each team twice — use that wisely.
Let’s see how long you last.
Welcome to the13 — the ultimate Premier League survivor game. Below is everything you need to know to play, compete, and (hopefully) outlast your group.
Core Rules
Weekly Picks
Each player starts the season with 13 points.
Each week, select 1 team you think will win.
Points are deducted based on your pick’s result:
Win: 0 points
Draw: -1 point
Loss: -3 points
If your total reaches 0 points, you’re eliminated from the competition.
The goal: survive all 38 matchweeks with the highest remaining point total (or be the last one standing).
Team Limits
You can only pick each team twice per season.
Your pick history will display as: 2/2, 1/2, or 0/2 remaining.
Missed Picks
Didn’t submit a pick?
You’ll be auto-penalized -3 points at the start of the final game of the matchweek.
Pick Lock
Picks lock at kickoff for each game.
Once a match begins, your pick for that specific game is locked in — no edits allowed.
Tie-Breakers: Goal Differential (GD)
Tie at the end? We use the total goal differential from all your picked matches.
Still tied and all teams used?
Players earn 1 point and roll into the next week.
Multiple winners possible after Matchweek 38 if scores and GD remain tied.
Group Entries
Only one entry per group per player.
