Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 29, 2017 There are filters in swimming pools, at least in the US, though you can't actually see them. I just groaned at Sir Creep's joke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all part of my cunning plan. They weren't going to be unique picks because somebody else already knew about them, therefore why hold back? My view is that the more saturated the field is with worthy candidates, the less necessary it will be for others to research and potentially find out about the picks I'm more confident they don't know about (As you might have gathered I'm actually doing some work to improve my DDP performance next year. I don't like having to scroll down to find out where I am on the leaderboard) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,963 Posted November 14, 2017 I have a feeling that the few unique possibilities of mine that will remain, will be shared with DDT - just like when we both picked Gary Haggarty and Ronald Mulkearns. Remigino was in my B-Team roster, and will stay there until he DIES. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,953 Posted November 14, 2017 I can already tell my B-Team is largely going to be an "old people who are interesting enough that you want to pick them, but not famous enough (ie no Drop 40) for the main team" dumping ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted November 14, 2017 Honestly, that’s what my potential B Team looks like right now as well. It’s a mix of old and interesting folk who aren’t main team material and some younger folk who I have a gut feeling will make 2019 that aren’t too risky to miss...
