We started with 40.
We have 4 left.
Four. Out of forty. After two gameweeks. That's a 90% casualty rate. I've seen horror films with better survival odds than this competition. I've seen Hive onboarding funnels with better conversion rates than this competition. And that's really saying something.
But before we get to the glorious four who are still standing, we need to talk about someone.
The Amirtheawesome1 Situation
Right.
So 
And he didn't pick.
He didn't. Pick.
No team selected. No auto-pick override. No "sorry lads I was busy." Just... nothing. A blank. A void where a football prediction should have been. The system auto-assigned him a team alphabetically from his available pool and that team — through no fault of its own — did not win.
Gone. Auto-picked out of his own competition.
I genuinely don't know whether to be angry or impressed. That takes a special kind of energy.
The Carnage This Week
Let's have a quick run through the rest of the fallen before we celebrate our survivors.
The Four Who Remain
Okay. Now for the bit that actually matters.
Out of the original 40, these four have made it through two rounds of genuine Premier League chaos and are still standing:
🟢 
🟢 
🟢 
🟢 
Four people. Standing. The prize — 200 HIVE and 5,000 MEDALS — is getting closer for all of them. The competition is just getting started.
Now The Annoying Part: International Break
Before anyone gets too excited about making their next pick, I have some news.
We have a three-week international break.
Yes. The Premier League has decided, as it does every year, to pause all the fun at exactly the most dramatic moment and send everyone off to play meaningless qualification matches that nobody asked for. We will reconvene in April, slightly older, slightly more anxious, and hopefully with fewer incidents of forgetting to submit picks.
Gameweek 32 returns the weekend of 11–13 April. Picks will open when we're back and the deadline will be confirmed before the first ball is kicked.
GW32 Fixtures — Start Planning Now
Because three weeks is plenty of time to overthink your pick and still get it wrong. Here's what's coming up:

Bold = already used by a survivor this competition.
Useful information for our four remaining contestants:
Twenty teams. Four players. Everyone's already lost one option. The decision-making begins now. You have three weeks to agonise over it. Use them wisely.
A Word From The Prize Fund Department
I should mention at this point that 
The 200 HIVE and 5,000 MEDALS that the winner walks away with isn't sitting in a vault somewhere. It needs to be earned. Through posts. On Hive. By me.
I went out Week 1. The competition I built. And now I'm writing blog posts to fund the prize for the four people who weren't as catastrophically bad at it as I was.
This is fine. This is absolutely fine. I'm fine.
Please upvote this post.
I'm begging.
See You In April
Three weeks off. Try not to forget the competition exists.
To our four survivors — well done, genuinely. You're four of the last standing out of 40. Don't blow it now.
