+ a "gay icon/diva" theme team + an "artistic" theme team

Hope I'm not on either of these!!!

That's a good question about revealing theme team names too early. Though I think sharing photos from the pre-season training camp is okay. 

 

what a difference does it make to reveal our theme team names early ?

Well...someone might move in your action, y'know, if you named them Everybody Needs Dead Neighbours, or something

because of the unique pick bonus you mean ?

Well, yeah, and because you might have some novel and hitherto genius idea for a theme team that'd clean up mightily. As an example, I recall once posting members of a forthcoming Himalayan expedition that set off over Christmas. A Deathrace entrant populated a team with the names and scored heftily when two of them copped it in an avalanche.

Well yeah it makes sense ! I think I might go with « big general » list such as « french names » of things like that for my first time here so I don’t think that’d be quite new or something to rob. I’ve already posted my theme team names a few post above anyway…

[JQW 281]

I've decided to submit a second theme team which should have at least 18 unique picks. It does mean I need to spend a few hours this week or next researching who to include.

Essa é uma boa pergunta sobre revelar nomes de equipes temáticas muito cedo. Embora eu ache que compartilhar fotos do campo de treinamento de pré-temporada é bom.

 

are you in the photo?

I don't like pop music but IIRC there was a hit in the the 70s called 'Cum On Feel The Boyz"?

Would that be the Young Boys who play at Wankdorf Stadium?

No but IIRC you came to its opening.

So, the young 'uns' team in a local six-a-side league were told to adopt a team name based on a great club or two, then told to think again when they announced they'd be called Inter Young Boys!

[The Unknown Man 584]

I sent in my teams a few hours ago. Good luck to everyone.

[time 8,599]

Two teams submitted, and I don't think I'm giving much away when I reveal my theme team is all Rons again!

[YoungWillz 21,037]

Should be submitting my teams around the weekend, which would only leave a fortnight for someone off those teams to peg it - lost two main team selections and Betty White off my comedy team last year, and I'd like to minimise the Banana work.

[Salmon Mousse 473]

Will try to submit any theme teams next week and then my main team the 29th or 30th (taking a trip in the interim).  Think I've settled on swinging for the fences with some QO risks after my disappointing performance with an overly "safe" lineup this year.

Quick prediction time: who's topping the Drop 40? Pele, Carter or Alagiah?

Rolf Harris is a good candidate, too.

[Death Impends 7,964]

Think the media attention on Pele's latest hospitalization gives him the D40 edge

[gcreptile 10,967]

I agree, timing-wise it will be hard to beat Pelé.
