I feel like Cersei was a stupid fucking first pick though, so there's that.
Edit: and Tyrion goes 9th? This must be data based on previous fantasy leagues because I can't remember a scene with Tyrion without food, death, tits, or sick burns.

We still have my small league to play Schild!  And hey, she at least has a good chance of killing lots of people. |

Varys, Tormund, and littlefinger all good value for picks 21 to 23.
Edit: and Bronn at 24!
At the halfway point Missandei, Ser Friendzone, Sam, and lyanna Mormont still available.

I'm feeling pretty good about my picks for the small league. Jon Snow, Bran Stark, Yara Greyjoy, Ellaria Sand and Qyburn so far. Ok, so Qyburn is obviously going to die messily in the first couple of episodes but I have hopes he'll take someone important with him. In the big league, I only have a random Baelish prostitute so far. I'm going to get some nudity points at least and with luck she'll stab someone.

Sansa and Meera in the big league.
I guess Meera is going to have to stab a lot of things.
I don't know why I didn't rate Sam higher. Narratively he must either die or turn into a badass at this point.
Plus he just arrived in a place with food.

I am pretty happy with my Hound pick up for the second. He murders lots of dudes and has great lines while he does it. Also likes to eat chicken.

I got Obara Sand as my second pick in the main league. Now I'm torn because I really don't want the series to get bogged down in Dorne, but I would kind of like to have at least one of my picks get some screen time.

Meh, you win either way.

My big league pairup is Jaime and the Queen of Thorns.   For the smaller league I got Dany and both Cleganes. Fuck yeah. |

Mine are serious wildcards. Benjamin Stark and the red priest dude down near Riverland :o.
No middle ground with this pair.

I considered placing her pretty high in my draft ranking actually, but I erred on the side of her continuing to suck. |

Do not read the episode synopses that were released. They ruin everything.
Also, Cersei was probably the correct first pick.

I'm glad he fell to me at least, especially since not sure how much we really are gonna see Jaqen anymore. |

Well, that's what I get for not coming here on weekends I guess. Sorry if my lack of autodraft held things up. As a result of not setting an order, I got Theon "I'm afraid of my own shadow, hardly speak, and don't have a dick to fuck with anymore" Greyjoy.
Amusingly though, I got Sam with my second pick, who was someone I would have picked well ahead of Theon.

What a rollcoaster of emotion. She is an alcoholic, she fucks anything that moves - but especially family, she just exploded the sept, she hates everyone and murders people for fun. Plus it would make sense for her to die in the last episode of this season. Its only a shame her coronation snuck in at the end of last season. But these are good fundamentals to work with. |

Sorry, was waiting for everybody to confirm they had set their autodraft. Also been busy trying to figure out how to survive in Laos on a day to day basis. Since people probably should set their stuff by now, I'll try to launch the auto draft when I get up tomorrow morning. Should be about 6-7 PM'ish for people in the US. So yell at me soon, or forever hold your peace. |

I got Grey Worm and Daario. Grey should work out for me but, damn, I'd have taken Lyanna Mormont over a guy who I don't believe is even in this season. Wife and I are pissed Zombie Cat isn't a draft option.
Zombie Cat isn't coming into the TV show. Beric died so she could be rezzed, and Beric is clearly a figure this season. |

Also Berric being active and the viewer being made to give a shit about him is a prerequisite for zombie Cat.
But honestly I'm pretty sceptical about them doing this unless there is a really fucking awesome plot twist it is necessary for. In the books the only apparent reason she exists is to make Brienne break her oath - and although that seems like an important character thing, I'm not sure it warrants the logistics needed to support it. On TV Jamie is back in KL already and I can't imagine a sensible reason for Brienne or Catelyn to end up there, or for Jamie to head North while Dany's army attacks from the south.
Berric is clearly not in a convenient location for Stoneheart. And the simplest explanation is that he's up north to deliver his sword in place of Brienne/Jamie/Cat/Pod/Whoever.
It is not impossible but they'd have to move a lot of pieces around.

You mean Berric right?
If so - yes that's my point.
zCat has to get from the riverlands to the North (while being dead) then get rezzed when berric dies, then she'd have to leave the wall to reunite Brienne and Jamie.
Stoneheart trutherism died when Jamie returned to KL.
If zCat has any really critical plot my guess is either Brienne or Arya could pick it up. Both are aimlessly wandering in Stoneheart country. Brienne has the sense of duty to her oath, Arya has the sense of being a crazy vengeance demon.

Unless the Brotherhood packed her body in ice to keep it from decomposing over the last three seasons, I don't think there's enough left of Cat to turn her into Stoneheart at this point.

If they wanted to do it they'd surely have to just go 'BAM - zombie cat doing shit - no explanation - deal with it' but that isn't really how GoT (or even aSoIaF) rolls.
Even the Hound got 10 minutes of unnecessary exposition - he didn't even die.

The big thing is you have to figure they're gonna fuck with us all at some point and do something no one expects. So the victory will probably go to whomever has the particular unlikely event in their draft.
