    Fantasy Football Deathlist Style

    This is completely outwith my comfort zone. I simply can't participate, sorry.
  4. Good lad Rad! All my lists are done (I still count myself amongst the weaker predictors) and submitted except HPDP which is ready to go. Obviously I have to wait until next year to enter the Inverse DP, which is where I've been most successful.

    Names For D D P?

    Why not just pick 20 survivors from the main Deathlist? Easy!
  6. Hmm, I don't see the Hare's DP mentioned, RadGuy. Don't make me put you on the naughty list...

    Derby Dead Pool 2017

    It's really annoying. Telegraph and Financial Times have also gone premium in respect of obits and the Indy is useless (and is being dropped anyway). So difficult to read about these people in any detail any more.

    The Beatles Death Curse

    Early Beatles promoter and would-be manager if it hadn't been for that pesky Epstein, Sam Leach, reportedly dead. https://www.facebook.com/beatlesappreciationsociety/posts/663251817189811

    Queen Elizabeth II

    Would definitely round off 2016 in an appropriate manner - Bowie, Prince and Gabor die, Trump elected, Charles accedes to the throne.
