Round 1 Sheep Allocation

@Skizzo you're missed selections allowed @The Stain to get Luis Suarez so your sheep will be Denis Suarez instead.

The two sheep pairs will be from ties which featured the two best unpicked players in this round in Cruyff and Falcao.

Cruyff featured in a 3rd round UEFA cup tie in 77/78 between Barcelona and Ipswich so @P-Nut Sheep will be Antonio Olmo and Paul Mariner

Falcao featured in a 1st round Cup Winners Cup tie in 1980/81 between Roma and eventual finalists Carl Zeiss Jena. @cubemine sheep will be Luciano Spinosi and Jurgen Raab

Round 2 - Gatecrashers

Pick a player who played for a team which beat the host nation in a knockout game at the FIFA World Cup. The player must have been on the pitch at some point during the match in which the home nation was beaten.

Please send your picks within the next 24 hours.
 
Wow!!! So many good players that actually didn't get picked up there!! Wish I'd been a bit braver in my first round but thought he'd have been picked up for sure!

Maybe after this round can we all agree to a day or two off, or maybe a round where we have 48 hours to pick? Over Christmas Day/Boxing Day i'll be doing far more interesting things than researching draft picks so could just schedule for the remaining rounds to start on 27th?? Just an idea...
 
Was about to suggest the same. Down to 11/12 now with no posts from Cubermine and Skizzo as well. Might as well start/restart it after a few days with a full roster of 16.

Yep - makes sense.
 
@Synco you should join the party
That's nice, and I'll probably play again in the future, but sheep drafts aren't really for me. I guess I prefer less randomness in teambuilding.

So party on Draft Games Forum

Yeah I'd say a break over crimbo, or if we can get a full roster of players then maybe yeah restarting it.

We could also allow people to join adter christmas and have a catch up round for them to submit picks while the people who have been in the draft from the start submit blocks.
 
I'm thinking we should either restart or have a catchup round but am willing to wait to hear opinions from other people who are participating in this draft.

If there are more people, I am happy to restart.. I think it’s early enough for people to be okay with it

The catch-up round with blocks sounds fun (and I'm fairly happy with my two picks so far) but I'm happy either way if most people favour a restart.
 
Would be nice to get a full 16 going.

I'm fine with either method (complete restart or catch-up round).
 
I'll wait for a decision before i do my research. I don't mind either way.
 
Sounds good to me! Happy Christmas all!! Have a good one! If you can post on here exactly what time and date we'll be restarting then we can all make sure that we're about.
 
I'll post the first category of the restart on the weekend but will start the deadlines on New Years Day (which means that the deadline for the 1st pick of round 1 will be at midnight on the 2nd of January)

Put the heavy research criteria first, post it now and start the deadlibe when you said.
