Kisenosato May Not Retire, if he dosen't he will as soon as another yokozuna is promoted

Takakeisho will DEFINITELY become yokozuna, but he needs some time

I think Hokutofuji has a good chance of being Ozeki someday, but expect that process to not yet be complete in Jan '19.

[Ryoshishokunin 275]

Hakuho Y
Goeido O1 Takayasu
Mitakeumi O2 Takakeishou 

(Note that takakeishou's name is misspelled on the poll.)  I'm actually torn between keishou and hokutofuji for the O prediction, but i think there will be four.

[MumboJumbo 36]

Hakuho Y Kisenosato

Takayasu O1 Goeido

Mitakeumi O2

 

2017 had Takayasu's run, 2018 gets Mitakeumi's run. Hakuho still going strong.

I forgot to add Mitakeumi to the poll  before I pressed "submit."

[Jejima 1,345]

I have just removed Harumafuji's name as options in this poll.  He will be ignored from any players suggestions in the comments, regarding his ranking for January 2019.

How Lady Sybil made it to higher san'yaku over all of Moist von Lipwig,  Sam Vimes, C.M.O.T. Dibbler and Rincewind (who isn't the most skilled but finds a way when it matters most) baffles me. 

He's probably my favourite fiction author, reading this put a great big smile on my face!

Granny Weatherwax as East Yokozuna makes perfect sense though. I agree with Sybil being too high. Rincewind would be a Komusbi - he would get a crucial win to impact the basho but never get any credit for it.

The only ozeki who scored a 15-0 and not made it to yokozuna was Wakashimazu, who retired soon after due to injury, so
