Sean 6,348 Posted May 25, 2017 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. msc:6 Chopped Liver :3 Shaun of the Dead:3 Here is my team for round 2 2017-2018 : My team: Shaun's Rovers Entire team:(15) Goalkeepers: Gordon Banks Peter Bonetti Midfielders: Martin Peters Nobby Stiles Paul Madeley Jimmy Conway Stan Bowles Defenders Peter Swan (born 1936) Ray Wilson Jack Charlton Billy McNeill Jimmy Armfield Strikers: Gerd Muller Jimmy Greaves Stevie Chalmers Main team:(11) Goalkeeper:Peter Bonetti Defenders:Peter Swan Jack Charlton Ray Wilson Billy McNeill Midfielders:Nobby Stiles (Captain) Martin Peters Stan Bowles Jimmy Conway Strikers:Stevie Chalmers Gerd Muller I mucked up by confusing football leagues.Apologies I am not a huge follower of Football myself.As I have given very little notice I am bringing over Chopped Liver`s and msc`s entry over from last time.If either of you want to change your team or withdraw from the competition please let me know. msc 2 Goalkeepers Gordon Banks Antonio Carbajal 5 Midfielders Nobby Stiles Hans Schafer Horst Eckel Martin Peters Tostao 5 Defenders Franz Beckenbauer George Haigh George Cohen Carlos Puyol John Terry 3 Strikers Gerd Muller Jimmy Greaves Ian St John (captain) Chopped Liver: I guess you could call this the Liver Pool. I'll get my coat Squad declaration for the Liver Pool: First team: GK: Ted Burgin DF: Tommy Banks DF: Bill Slater DF: Ray Wilson DF: Roy Bentley MF: Peter Lorimer MF: Albert Quixall MF: Fernando Ricksen (Captain) MF: Nobby Stiles ST: Jimmy Greaves ST: Ivor Broadis Subs Bench: GK: Colin McDonald DF: Franz Beckenbauer MF: Castor Cantero ST: Ian St John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
