Sweaty Morph Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I almost put Sid vicious the wrestler into my team. Maybe that's who he meant. A possibility, had he not followed it up with (Sex Pistols Member) [emoji1] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_Glasgow Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I think I have 7 solos and 3 deadly duos, much better than last year if more than one of them actually decides to die this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Shane MacGowan could be one to watch. His maw just deid in a car crash. Might tip him over the edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Shane MacGowan could be one to watch. His maw just deid in a car crash. Might tip him over the edge. Does he have a suspiciously close relationship with his mother? Would explain a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Naitch Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 21 hours ago, Njord said: First thought... The Naitch is favourite. Although relying on AlS picks is dodgy. Well, I ran you close a couple of years ago so we shall see what 2017 brings. Gutted that I forgot about Leah Bracknell as she's an absolute cert this year.

RadgerTheBadger Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Brian Widlake deidI thought you couldn't pick people who were ill? I was going to go for Fernando Ricksen and Pauline Cafferky but thought it was out with the realms of the gameThe entrants I left out from my shortlist were Dorothy Paul, Ian St John, and Attenborough plus Ricksen and Cafferky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 The more ill the better! Just so long as they're not solely famous for being ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 As the above posters have said, they have to be famous for something other than being ill. So Ricksen's fine as he's famous for being a professional footballer and just so happens to be ill, Cafferkey's a no however because if she hadn't contracted Ebola, none of us would ever have heard of her. If you read the opening post, it's quite clear on this, and in fact highlights that picking people like Ricksen is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 On 12/11/2016 at 11:26, Spain said: You're not allowed to pick someone famous *purely* for being ill. This one has caused a bit of confusion before. You're allowed to pick someone famous who has for example - cancer, and indeed this is a good strategy. This rule is about not picking folk that are raising loads of money for charity as they're about to die or anyone planning a glass of orange juice chez Café Dignitas. ^^^ From the OP: Fairly clear that picking Ricksen would be fine.

Spain Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Almost finished the duplicate removals for analysis, some of you were properly screwing with me this year round. Hidden extra spaces, and a special shoutout to @Gareth_Glasgow who managed to use a bit of punctuation that looked like an apostrophe but actually wasn't.

Spain Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Stats This year we've had an amazing 120 players generating 647 different picks. Of those picks, 416 of those are Solo Shots and 87 are Deadly Duos. The Top Ten We have a clear winner this year in terms of picks; after losing some long time favourites Prince Philip has been picked 6 more times this year but it still wasn't enough to hold onto his top spot as old Brucie pulled in an unbelievable 71 picks. Most of the rest of the top 10 are familiar names, with only Leah Bracknell being a new entry to the Dead Pool game. The Presidential trio of George Bush Snr, "The Donald", and Jimmy Carter all just missed out and occupy places 11-13 respectively. Here's the full rundown of the Top Ten: Bruce Forsyth 71 Prince Philip 46 Gazza 43 Fernando Ricksen 41 Joost Van Der Westhuizen 38 Kirk Douglas 37 Clive James 30 Glen Campbell 27 Leah Bracknell 27 The Queen 27 Let the Deaths commence!
