i would like to disavow myself of any ride or die Shodai groups, I am literally only picking him because SHODA is a strong opening. I am willing to die on the hills of dumb gimmick picks that maegashira mid-range gives me.

A very simple team of the youngest guys at each rank. M6-10 spis kinda of a wasteland. Meisei turns 27 at the end of the tournament, but after that everyone else is 30+ except Hokotofuji who turns 30 on day 4.

I've been thinking about Asanoyama coming back this basho, and I wonder how he feels about this in the wake of Terunofuji's comeback. I mean, the last ozeki to fall like that just absolutely smashed his way through the ranks up to sanyaku then immediately speedran his way to yokozuna. It's some big drat shoes to be stepping into.

I would like to officially announce my retirement from fantasy sumo as my lingering posting injury stops me from doing the brand of fantasy sumo that I aspire to.

I've just come to realise I enjoy watching the bashos a lot more if I'm not worried about the performance of my picks. Thanks for all your work Kenning, I've enjoyed yo-yoing up and down the ranks over the past year+

As the first and I think previous to this only retiree, I welcome you to the GSA.

The proper way to Goonzeki is to make your picks and never see who is actually attributed to your team, forget the thread exists, watch the entire Basho, be amazed at your excellent choices and beautiful macaron color.

I'd be shocked if we got anything more than a few words from Hakkaku at the beginning, and even that would be surprising.

Kenning, please draft me a random team this basho, thank you for all your hard work!

This might be the most mediocre set of Ozeki we have had in a long time. I can't see any of these guys being Yokozuna, much less keeping their rank through the rest of the year.
