The K League United Elimination Game - Round 11
It's the final round before we take a break for the World Cup, with ten competitors holding on with just a single life. Round Ten only saw the single casualty, but with fewer and fewer favourable selections remaining, the possibility of mass elimination is higher than ever. Who will be heading into the World Cup still with a hope left? Select your teams below.

Round Ten Roundup
Well that was relatively uneventful.
Only two players lost lives, Wonbin Bae who had three lives two rounds ago is down to his final life after making a bold prediction that Anyang would not-lose on the road to a surprise-not-bottom-of-the-table Daejeon Citizen.
The other player is David Hill, a US Airman formerly based at the Kunsan Airforce Base and long time Jeonbuk supporter, lost his final life by choosing the Ansan Greeners who managed to lose to Suwon FC, a team with only four wins all season.
In the 2017 edition of this game, David went out in Round Four. This year looked to be much of the same after being down to one life going into Round Three. Instead, he played a remarkable game and leaves us in Round 10.
Best wishes, mate.
Everyone else made incredibly safe choices this week with Sangju (hosting Incheon), Busan (hosting Seoul E-Land), and Daejeon (hosting winless(!) Anyang) all having four supporters. Three others chose Jeju who played at home against near-relegation flirting Jeonnam Dragons.
I got a message near the cut-off time last week when a player said, “I’m just trying to get to the World Cup Break.”
We all are.
Seven of us will DEFINITELY be playing this game come July. Ten players have one life and one round left before Korea stun the world by lifting the World Cup trophy.
Choose wisely.
