Sekitori Sweepstake - May 2023

Recommended Posts

S1E Djodjoyoshi will have J5E Tochinoshin

Well, Djodjoyoshi is in prime position to become an inaugural Ozeki for this game.... but will former Ozeki Tochinoshin deliver the goods in Juryo? Surely at that level he has one more double digit KK basho in him?

M6W Jakusotsu has been allocated M15E Ichiyamamoto

Ichiyamamoto is one of those rikishi capable of a great basho and capable of a terrible basho....

M8W Fujiko will have J3W Enho

The first three members of my family all have been allocated iffy Juryo rikishi....  Hopefully the last member (Kaba) will get someone a bit more likely to perform?

M9W Benihana has received J9W Chiyonokuni

Surely he will perform better than his 3-12 in March?

M12W Sakura will have M4E Ura

Ura is in the joi-jin, so could be a tricky basho?

M11W sumojoann has drawn M3W Nishikifuji

Another rikishi in the joi-jin...  But somehow he kept his M3W rank after a 6-9 basho in March. That must be pretty rare?

M10E Kaba has just clicked for J8W Ochiai

Well, I am fairly sure that Kaba (aged 6) is the youngest player of this game - and the teenage wunderkind might be a great pick for him? 

But somehow, all four of my family have managed to end up with Juryo rikishi....

M18E Karasukurai has been given K1E Kotonowaka

Potentially a good pick for the best of the Mae-zumo players from the previous basho?

M5E Sumo Spiffy has drawn M3E Tobizaru

I think he might struggle at this rank - although he did manage a double digit KK from the upper joi-jin a few bashos ago....

M17W Getayukata will be banking on M8W Takanosho

He certainly has the potential to deliver - but will it be this basho?

M12E Gansekiiwa has got M13E Chiyoshoma

He's had 2 years bouncing around lower and mid-Makunouchi.

M17E Katooshu has drawn M10W Takarafuji

Takarafuji went on a 6 win winning streak at the end of that last basho to 'eek' out his KK. Katooshu will hope that run continues!

M18W Kotononami will have J10E Chiyomaru

Oh dear, the Big Baby's last two bashos both ended 4-11....

M5W Athenayama receives J5W Akua

Athenayama has kindly agreed to look after this game during the basho. I am not sure if handing him Akua is a reasonable sign of gratitude...

M7W Yarimotsu has been allocated J13E Fujiseiun

It will be Fujiseiun's first ever basho in Juryo - but if you check his record, he does show promise.

Finally (for now, at least), M6E RaeucherLax has got J10W Kitanowaka

He has spent over a year in Juryo - time to make a challenge for the top division?

Definitely not ! Yusho is 100% out of reach but KK could be a reasonable goal. Go Akuaman!

Did I draw Nishikifuji or Nishikigi?  The link sends me to a pic and stats for Nishikigi.

Behind the curtains.....I was using this thread by Asashosakari to get the links.

Those two Western rikishi are very close to each other on the banzuke, and I misclicked the wrong link.

That was easy enough to do.  Either one of those rikishi would make me happy.  Thanks for clearing up the issue so quickly.

M19E Hakuhonofan will take M13W Ichinojo!!!

Will this popular pick skyrocket Hakuhonofan up the banzuke?

Well, let's find a replacement for @Hakuhonofan.......

M15W Tsurugisho!
