Not bad in a sheep draft to have more rounds though.
In a snake round 13 and 14 you're unlikely to play, in a sheep they could be a great player. Plus means flexibility and unpredictability in your starting 11
The Fifth Redcafe Sheep Draft

In a snake round 13 and 14 you're unlikely to play, in a sheep they could be a great player. Plus means flexibility and unpredictability in your starting 11
But you can change tactics in different rounds and allows you to take some punts in earlier rounds knowing you can have a couple of bad picks and still have a great team
Sheep drafts usually end up with unbalanced squads and it's the challenge to fit 1 or 2 sheep in your starting 11. The beauty of it in fact.
I'm a big sucker and want to participate but if I was running it would've been 11 men team not even 12.
Fair Enough.. I get the challenge of getting a terrible sheep and trying to win
My only concern with a 12-hour first-pick window is where it's a challenging criterion. I mean don't you people have to work, travel, spend times with cherished loved ones, etc?
What are all these things you talk about. Drafting is life.

@Skizzo are you OK? Are you OK Skizzo?

Let me put it this way: it's a Chester inspired mechanic. The poor fecker never gets his hands on a genuine GOAT. Never. This would ensure he does have that rare treat.
BTW, where the feck is he?
Depends on the criterion and how much you want to research. One of the best things in sheep drafts is the interesting stuff and connections you find looking at football through a certain glass.
We can always expedite when all picks are in.
Why would you want a shorter sheep draft?
Just get on with the no more than one sheep sub rule and enjoy the extra rounds you can have as a result.Personally what I like about draft games afterwards is the way managers maneuver over a weak spot or against oppo players/tactics. With less options, or with more sheep in the starting line up it's more interesting when games kick in as managers have to be more creative rather than stick the natural left backs in left back positions.Why would you want a shorter sheep draft?
And a sheep draft should still deliver that even with 14 picks.
Especially with only 1 sheep allowed on the bench.
Have a slight cold, but other than that I am fine. Thanks for asking.
ok with everything.
Are you guys network engineers? That's TCP lingo.
Checking in.
Not sure if I posted here yet
in..
ROUND 1
ROUND ONE: BLOOD RELATIVE
Double pick round.
Pick two players who are blood relatives (not just father and son, but no in-laws). You MUST play both or bench both in the first match.
E.g.
Manager A - Dopey, Grumpy
Manager B - Dopey, Sneezy
Result
A - FAIL
B - FAIL
Block list: Dopey
Manager A - Dopey, Grumpy
Manager B - Dopey, Sneezy
Result
A - FAIL
B - FAIL
Block list: Dopey
Who do we need to add in the pick convo?

For those who've already submitted:
FFS why has no one been tagged as to the start of round one.
Wish there was an indication somehow of the number of players who have submitted.
Between 1 and 16
by the way are you a communist?
Submitted! Now researching pick for the second attempt 
I'm corrupted by the Western culture. Moderate left.
submitted as well.
I was always interested in network engineering, and I hope to become one soon.
I submitted ages ago. Pretty sure it’s a fail though
What if we pick two goalkeepers for Round 1? Will we still have to play both?
