My head's not in the game. Pick the most obvious round 1 combo then proceed to acquire a semi-sheep in order to get a good pick. Only that pick is on the block list. RIP.

What you should be doing is, send the good pick with a ineligible pick. So if the good pick is blocked, both the picks are wrong and you are free to choose a new game again again. If of course the good pick passes instead, you can then pick the semi sheep from the game.

Well, well...low risk approach not quite paying off (yet again). Could have picked up an absolute monster there - but since he was available in multiple scenarios, I was pretty sure he'd end up blocked.

Still, pieces added, sheep avoided - fair enough.

@Indnyc great picks that. Thought of going for Muller last round as Ronnie and Henry would've been popular but was pretty sure if he gets blocked it would turn into a very shit round as I had to go for a CB and you picking Giles would ended up in the shit. :D

Thanks! I was really hoping Leeds would go under the radar and no one would go for the other guy!

Aye, first pick would be a most certain block. (You also need a striker, so don't give me that :D)

I imagine #2 and #3 would be the same...

sent too..

Unless I'm missing something there aren't many options so this could be quite a sheep fest
Depends how deep people are willing to dig, I suppose. There's a vast number of titles, on all kinds of platforms - so if you go looking beyond the obvious ones, it should be possible to unearth some gems. I've found a couple already - but the problem is obviously that by now people have specific needs, position wise, and the pool is clearly disproportionate (goal keepers generally don't tend to feature on covers).

I've come across some grey area stuff too, doing a quickish search - depictions of players who probably are intended to be X, Y or Z but the likeness is so feckin' shabby that I wouldn't risk it (and I haven't been able to confirm anywhere who the player is supposed to be).

Interesting theme - bad timing, since I really don't have time to go crazy with this.

I just went for someone I expect to pass so I don't have to research the full thing.

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
Same here, mate. 2 positions sorted at the end for which could've been a very tricky round, considering we both went for some of the most popular choices :lol:

I'm pretty sure one GOAT slipped through this time and most probably @Jim Beam got him.
I wasn't expecting you to have got someone quite on Ronaldinho's level after this post! I nearly cock-blocked Beam on his Neeskens and Butcher duo but I didn't want to risk being locked into that Ipswich team. I actually assumed he'd went for an even more highly regarded GOAT. Thank feck no-one got that Messi/Cristiano combo.
