Fantasy Football 2017-2018

Recommended Posts

Running this again.Doing it as the Premier League has ended and if we wait a few weeks we could miss out some deaths.

 

 

Whilst looking at my longlists for the DDP it struck me just how many footballers were on it and really decent candidates.We have the Alzheimers epidemic substance abuse and mental health issues in many former footballers.So I thought let's do a death list fantasy football competition.Here are the rules:

 

1)Pick 15 names of current or former professional footballers from any level or era.As long as they are alive and you expect to be able to find any professional death notice/obituary.

2) You need the following set of players

 

2 Goalkeepers

5 Midfielders

5 Defenders

3 Strikers

 

(As long as the player has it one point professionally worked in that position at some point in their career)

 

3)Out of the 15 players please designate your main team of 11 players.Any format is ok as long as you have a goalkeeper at least one striker and least 3 Defenders.

 

4)The game is live as of now and entries can be submitted at any time.The game will finish on the 13th May 2018.

 

5)The season ends at the same time the premier league does.The next season will start directly after though to avoid people potentially missing hits!

 

6)Scoring:a reserve will give you one point a main player 3 and a team captain will give you 6 points.

 

7)Most points at end of season wins.

 

8)You get to replace a hit whenever one dies

 

9)No transfer days.Too tricky for me to keep up with that amount of changes.As death by numbers showed I am crap at complex calculations.

 

10)Best of British luck.

 

11)The Sun loathes this pool so if you didn`t have a reason for etering before you do now.

 

A reminder of last years scoreboard.An uneventful first year as it only lasted 5 months and produced two hits.Steve Sumner and Billy Simpson.

Fantasy Football Death Slam #1

 

Paul Gascoigne (Gazza)

 

Largely considered one of our greatest fooballers Gazza has been snorting cocaine and drinking himself silly for decades.Turns 50 today but can his liver last another year?

No as he was not a professional footballer.

Okay then you're so horrible and so unpleasant to read the posts of that the content within them makes the shit that falls out of a dog's anal cavity seem like a pleasurable thing to be viewing on par with the revelation of the aurora.
