Seriously. Thank god for that! My new one comes just before deadline. I'll be brain damaged even before the game actually starts
Edit: Maybe I'll just pick @antohan 's choice, just to mess him up a bit!
The First Redcafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Moby
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

They should just wait until they made up their mind, changing picks sucks . I won't do it, the key to keep my sanity in this draft is, submit my pick before Anto gets to post something and I'm pretty sure we aim for similar teams, so I'll stick with that.

All picks are in.
Also, I completely ignored the fact that I have a college to go to when I decided on the time yesterday. So that will have to change for the next round.
The two options are 1200 and 1800 UK.

I know the feelinIf all picks are in we can move it back to 12:00 if it's easier for you?
Trouble is, it's gonna get worse the further into it we go.
God help us!
1200 but let it run till 1400 tomorrow to get back to the original timeline would be my suggestion. That way no one has a disadvantage as long as no one wants to change his pick between 1200 and 1400 today
.Move it to 12 GMT, 18 is too late
Reveal the results if all picks are in!
Also if a player is blocked, is he blocked for the whole draft?
Yeah I think noon is fine.
Issue is I won't be at home at 1400 so won't be able to post the results. So I guess the best option is to change it today itself to noon. Everyone has sent his pick anyway.1200 but let it run till 1400 tomorrow to get back to the original timeline would be my suggestion. That way no one has a disadvantage as long as no one wants to change his pick between 1200 and 1400 today
Awesome!
Oh, I thought it's only today, not every day, yeah, then change it to noon, shouldn't be a problem.
@AldoPaine18 If you need any help in running things let me know.
ANNOUNCEMENT
@kps88 is co-modding the draft with me, so it would be good if you could also add him to the conversations while sending your picks.
Noon is cool by me.
Aldo, the second and third rounds of picking for each round doesn't have to be 24 hours right? can it be just until everybody sent their picks with a 24 hour limit?

As of now it is same as the initial round - that is 24 hours to accommodate the time zones. We'll see if it can be changed later if everyone agrees.
Anyway I think the sooner you guys accept the fact that this format takes longer than a normal draft the better, that's the only drawback of an otherwise entertaining system. Specially since we have time zones spanning from Uruguay to Singapore, I think it would not be easy to cut down much on the time limits.
I think 24 hours for the first round is fair enough, I just think for rounds 2 & 3 of each round you can keep the 24hours time limit but if everybody sent picks you close the round, otherwise if I got my choice in round 1 it will 100% take 2 more days until I get my next pick.
I'm excited now. I was pretty well pleased with my pick yesterday - but I'm getting edgy now. Have a feeling he ain't as safe as I presumed if people are thinking in a way they may be...er thinking. Would be hilarious if Anto has actually gone for that pick - and gets it.
Fair enough, I took it as a question rather than a "me in"...
My picks definately gettin blocked
I can safely say that I wanted to take him too.. Did I eventually? Who knows?
This is a horrible game. 1400 can't come soon enough. But I'm sure I didn't get my player, it's just not meant to be.
It's noon, so I will post the results in a minute.
Only 5 managers got their players.
It's not mindgames. Precisely, I see a lot have already picked, bound to have picked him, so may as well inform them/you in advance.See you tomorrow @antohan
Seriously, saying who you're going to pick after more than 10 managers already submitted their pick is a poor attempt of a mindgame
Mindgames was just the ribbing those picking the Welsh wing wizard, the awesome Italian CBs, the midfielder with a magnet in his boots. etc. How many will pick Swansea's former manager then? 1, 2, 3...
15 is the limit.

Ffs, Anto.

So ?

Look at all the Nestas.
YOu were quite close to getting Keano. TITO swooped in in the last minute.
Nesta
And feck you Cutch.
And feck you Cutch.
Also I hope there would be no cheating here with managers who got their picks PMing it to others in the draft.
Hallelujah!! I can't believe I got my player!
@AldoPaine18 @kps88 what have we decided on next rounds with the time limit? can we decide that we wait the full 24 hours only in the first round in each round?

Who would do that? It will ruin the whole draft..
Nestamania!
Keano I reckon - and it seems about right from what Aldo says now - was one of those players you could go for as a gamble, i.e. you gamble that everyone else thinks he's too obvious.
