For some odd reason I submitted Pope Benny as my third sub - so now I'm hoping that three others on my list having snuffed it off radar already.

Back in the game after a couple years off.

 

Most of December was awfully quiet for my shortlisters... then in the past 48 hours, I had to scrap Pele, Don West, Barbara Walters, and Pope Benedict - all of whom would have made the final roster (Walters was a sub but would've been promoted after the Pope's death).

 

I don't think my team is necessarily bad, just... boring. Mostly Drop 40ers. My off-forum research was shit. I'm expecting a lot of "how the fuck did I miss that?" during tomorrow's grand reveal.

I'm in.

 

Still can't bring myself to pick Frank Field and decided against picking Hanif Kureishi. No Winnie Ewing for me this year, because I don't think she'll make the drop 40 and why pick someone who will only be 5 points, when there's tons of other candidates.  That said, all three are my subs, so they may make it after all if anyone else drops.

 

Good luck to everyone.

Last years hits for my team:

Bill Russell

Queen Elizabeth II 

looks like I could be in for a big year but with how fit Van Dyke is wouldn't be surprised if he dropped off on the tail end of 2024 or early next year 

We know Eastwood is a legend but he looks gastly and sick though he was acting recent so maybe not this year I hope Im wrong though and I'm relying on Van Dyke as my joker

My third entry has just been submitted. To be honest, the best bit about it is probably the team name.

I didn't know you could pick the same name on two different teams?

 

I was seriously considering picking Chris Denning but knew you had him and were entering again this year so knew he wouldn't be a unique so decided firmly against picking him.

Didn't think of that especially as I am hopeful of a fair amount of uniques in my Theme teams however if anyone wants to nab any of my Theme team names that are potential unique that if I have them they are by definition worth less to you. :P

I think he'll gather a few other fanciers, dead pooling is the one place he remains at least a borderline celebrity.
