the blocking of Arie Haan has really added a lot to the drama. i hope to get through but given the little sampling of the haan blocking it might 50-50
More than three, surely. I think someone said earlier that there is easily a player who is either great or a GOAT for each manager here - and that sounds about right without having gone through the lists with a fine comb.I count three very interesting players still left (if not picked in the first round). But I can't see antohan's "possible goat".
It wasn't just luck. It took a lot of calculation. NOTIt would be interesting to see who got picked in 1st round? Has they gone conservative to start or got lucky?
Obviously @Skizzo has to reveal all the first and second round picks as well. Should be fun.It would be interesting to see who got picked in 1st round? Has they gone conservative to start or got lucky?
I'm kicking myself more on Sammer. And the other GOAT anto was hinting at before. Wanted to ensure that Rijkaard was blocked and that ended up me digging myself a hole.the blocking of Arie Haan has really added a lot to the drama. i hope to get through but given the little sampling of the haan blocking it might 50-50
You can make a case for him being a top ten of all time player, he doesn't necessarily have to be in that top 10, but he doesn't look out of place at all. Not sure if that makes him a goat, probably depends on how many players you want to include in that tier. I also need to start to rate him as a manager now that I know what team he took to a final. Highly impressive, always thought he sucked as a managerMore than three, surely.

I half suspect you misread me there, my good man. I was referring to the whole pool (every manager can in theory end up with either a great player or a GOAT). If we're talking about anto's GOAT, then he IS a GOAT, there is no doubt whatsoever about that.You can make a case for him being a top ten of all time player, he doesn't necessarily have to be in that top 10, but he doesn't look out of place at all.

Oh, fair enough. I wouldn't rule it out that all the goats already are or get blocked in future rounds though, well unless someone already has antohan's goat.I half suspect you misread me there, my good man.

My tip:FFS.
Did anyone pick a goalkeeper?
FFS.

what makes you say that?Sheep confirmed!
I think me and Boris may have blocked each other.what makes you say that?
I think at least one if not two were relatively conservative middle-of-the-park players. And NM got the one some thought may have lasted, somehow. Nutters.It would be interesting to see who got picked in 1st round? Has they gone conservative to start or got lucky?
so friggin' obviousFFS.

He went foor a keeper. Probably.what makes you say that?

Rojkaard, Sammer, and now this.I think me and Boris may have blocked each other.
It's so obvious too.
I thought everybody would think a keeper the safe third round pick and block each other. Will be hilarious if it happens.
Unbelievable. 3 consecutive blocks!Rojkaard, Sammer, and now this.
He should be banned for trolling.Skizzo made the deadline for 10am, but then slept at 8am. What an evil man.
I still think someone may have already picked yer boy in the first round. So, it could be a case of "player already picked" rather than the pair of you blocking each other.Unbelievable. 3 consecutive blocks!
The issue with that is keepers don't count for much in drafts do they?I still think someone may have already picked yer boy in the first round. So, it could be a case of "player already picked" rather than the pair of you blocking each other.
Picking said boy in the first round is pretty obvious too, as a half clever move: Get the keeper sorted right away, and an absolute star of a keeper at that. It's not inconceivable.

Don't worry guys, it was too late anywaySheep confirmed!
True. But I'm on a mission to change that. I've had enough. As a neutral voter in this draft, I'll make sure to give the keepers their due. I'll make a point of it, in fact. If there's a clear discrepancy in the keeper department, I won't let that pass.The issue with that is keepers don't count for much in drafts do they?
Seriously? Someone made a GK as their first pick?Don't worry guys, it was too late anyway
I'm shocked that he wasn't blocked in the first round.Seriously? Someone made a GK as their first pick?
I'm in. Let's argue the shit out of goalkeepers in the games this time.True. But I'm on a mission to change that. I've had enough.

The keeper could have gone through in the 2nd round as well. Two of the first round picks are pretty obvious by now, no idea about the 3rd one.My tip:
One of the managers who were successful in the first round gambled and won on anto's GOAT.
Another one picked a keeper.
And the third one picked conservatively, possibly unnecessarily so.
No one goes for a keeper as 1st pick, no matter how much of a GOAT he can be...at least not until now. Highly surprising!I'm shocked that he wasn't blocked in the first round.
It's destined to happen. Anto announced the possibility of the last draft marking the turn of the tide - but it will be this one. We'll ruin every match thread with obsessive keeper talk!I'm in. Let's argue the shit out of goalkeepers in the games this time.
Cue every single sheep being a keeper.It's destined to happen. Anto announced the possibility of the last draft marking the turn of the tide - but it will be this one. We'll ruin every match thread with obsessive keeper talk!
Yep - could have. Depends on how honest harms is, I suppose. We'll see soon enough when it's mornin' out in California.The keeper could have gone through in the 2nd round as well. Two of the first round picks are pretty obvious by now, no idea about the 3rd one.
