Here are PANDAAZUMA'S picks...

1-5: Pandaazama (cuddly and playful...what's not to like? Everyone is excellent here. Owl improving every year. And great to see Kobashi in the top five).

6-10:  Susanoo (Frink in the top ten also good to see).

11-20: Gonzaburow (I like the cuts of the jibs of Kakushoyama, Kajiyanosho and KGY but Gonza is just relentless).

21-40: Joaoyama (banking on a good year from the big Brazilian bruiser. Andonikishi is a dark horse too but I can only pick one).

41-80: Kachikoshi (been watching this player...very talented).

81-120: Mariohana

121-200: Sakura

201+: Chelseayama (a mate so will try to give him some support).

This team looks like Champions League:

  • 1-5: Pandaazama (multiple Sumo Games World Champion, nuff said)
  • 6-10: Susanoo (won the title in 2022, a reliable points collector)
  • 11-20: Oskahanada (2023 was his year, top 10 candidate again)
  • 21-40: Andoreasu (decorated with two titles in 2013 and 2015)
  • 41-80: Kachikoshi (might have a bright future)
  • 81-120: Mariohana (won the title back in 2004, time to repeat those brilliant results)
  • 121-200: Sakura (now should be even more motivated)
  • 201+: Yumezukuri (the Sumo Game Yokozuna should win a few points)

1-5             Pandaazuma (I might as well keep going with the champion)
6-10           Susanoo (very constant throughout the years)
11-20         Oskanohana (despite the bad jokes (just kidding!!) he is a great player)
21-40         Joaoiyama (of course I should have picked myself but I'll trust my Ichimon mate in Bench Sumo for this year)
41-80         Joputosu (another Ichimon mate, a very promising player who has proved much already)
81-120      Torifujii (this year I chose to "gamble" and pick someone I don't know at all but who  seems to have potential)
121-200    Hashi (another gamble here. Sakura* is of course the obvious choice in this group but will she really have time to play? I am not sure about that)
201+          Barusho (third gamble in a row. Itachiyama, a third Ichimon mate (!) would have been my choice but I am not sure he'll play much this year. I mean he stopped playing BS for now, that says a lot)

* I know she will play Sekitori Sweepstake though. ;-)

Hmmm Konosato also retired from most games, just for info. ;-)

Geez..Would be quite helpful if there was an asterisk or summin next to retired or semi-retired players, but I guess it's up to us entrants to find that out for themselves..

I am quite sure that repeating the medal position again this year is quite improbable, but I have to try. This year I might finally get something reasonable also in proper games, that's why I go with myself in the respective slot, I did not do that in previous years.

1-5 Pandaazuma
6-10 Susanoo
11-20 Flohru
21-40 Andoreasu
41-80 TochiYESshin
81-120 Ketsukai

201+ Gawasukotto

I wish great sumo in 2025!
