The Deathlist Cup 2018

Recommended Posts

Haha - Anne Hamilton-Byrne - spent my last round in The Cup last year waiting for her to take her last breath - considered her briefly for this year but just couldn't bring myself to - good luck Mary - I pinched her of you anyway last year so you deserve a hit from her whereas I didn't.

AHB and Nevin were the two "this has to be their month, right?" baddies of last Cup. Think some of my Cup squads from last year have Nevin as the only one standing!

I picked Nevin in the DDP this year on the basis that if she has Gord Downie style prognosis, she might just live to the World Cup but not much further. You can all laugh at this in December, likely.

 

AHB isn't unique btw.

How many of them are unique?

Oh, I don't think she's that bad of a pick either. Criminals generally don't outright lie about their illness, just exaggerate. She could very well actually have brain cancer, even if the deathbed reports from last March were BS.

I feel as there are way too many inconsistencies in her story for it to be true. I won’t believe her till she dead...

Nevin was also picked. She isn't unique either.

So, Anne Hamilton Byrne (still breathing when I last checked) comes off my bench as the lifeless form of Paul Alcock is stretchered off having only survived the warm up.

It wouldn't be the Deathlist Cup without AHB being on your team.

A lot of interesting teams. I think I’ll have tough competition going into round 2 (Philomena Lynott and Vanessa Goodwin is no use this round).

I had Vervoort and Jowell on the sub benches, cause while I think they’ll die soon, I don’t think it’s quite their month yet. Jose Jose is also confusing right now, though I think he’ll die before the end of the year. I wish I had seen that Liam Miller update before I submitted my team though. 

Also, who else tried to pick Jacqui Forster even though she got rejected?

Extraordinary! Join us around the grounds as we start our in depth coverage of the Premier Deathpooling Cup competition. Our correspondents will bring you the goals and the near misses and a whole load of clichés. There'll be some upsets on the way and we'll be waiting to see who can book their slots for the Wembley finale. It's about consistency here in the Cup. A big win doesn't net you any additional plaudits

 

We're underway. No goals yet, but we're barely half-way through the first minute of the round.

Yes, they were unique picks so I bolded them to remember their spelling when adding to the masterlist. Then forgot when I copy and pasted from word doc over to here.

Oh, and my opinion on who'll win on this round matches excluding my own (tbh, I think mine will be quite close):

  1. charon
  2. The Dead Cow
  3. the engineer (think this could go either way tbh)
  4. Grim 
  5. msc
  6. Spade 
  7. RadGuy
  8. Sean
  9. gcreptile
  10. Sir Creep
  11. Chorizo

I have a solo pick with Dodd? You know, the guy that's in the hospital? Improving yes, but I thought someone else would have a punt on him.

 

But who knows? The way old favourites are dropping, it's who gets the luck of this flu that's going about...

YoungWillz is that your advisory staff for March 2018?

The above graphic shows my team as they take the field.

 

I've gone for a 4-4-2 formation (whatever that is). Pope in goal...Jesus Saves. Williams, Barker and Stiles in defence...nothing gets past them. Nifty midfield of Maren, Poitier, McCain and Bush...couldn't put both McCain and Bush on the right....hmmm.

 

Dodd and Greaves up front as most likely to score.

 

Get your shorts on, game on!

Interesting the only pick Deathray and I have in common is Nolan.  And we both have a fair share of D40 and otherwise popular names.  Even Bracknell and Vervoort are on one team or the other.
I agree YoungWillz it's a bit of a surprise that Dodd is a solo.  Imagine my surprise to see Overton as a solo for me.
