The Third Redcafe Sheep Draft

[The Stain]

No, it hasn't been confirmed.

Cheers. Will wait.

 

[Enigma_87]

How is the submission going? I'll need some time as all my picks that I found for this round are kinda not fit for the system and to see how to integrate them with the players we have so far...

 

[Gio]

I don't know how to tell you this, so I'm just going to say it unceremoniously: It was a joke.

Indeed it was a bit left-field - even for you.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Indeed it was a bit left-field - even for you.

Aye, chief.

While I may have other intentions here than simply going for the win in the most obvious manner imaginable, I certainly don't intend to assemble a cast of positively shabby actors.

That said, who can tell these days who's serious and who's not - it's a general curse.

But I don't normally moan outright, not even on behalf of others - that's a fairly good indicator. If I seem to moan outright, it's probably not meant seriously.

Around half a dozen so far.

 

[Cal?]

Around half a dozen so far.

I'll have to take some time to hack your inbox to see what everyone has done.

*just joking*

 

[Šjor Bepo]

only now saw the age rule...will there be enough players

 

[Enigma_87]

Alright, sent my block in after lengthy managerial council

Only obvious choices this round good luck to everyone.

 

[RedTiger]

At least we're not locked Into The country.

 

[Gio]

This is a very problematic round...

Yes, we made that commitment in our opening salvo:

The draft will be all-time. That doesn't mean it's going to be a legends wankfest: the managers want a challenging draft and as such the criteria will be demanding and minimise the chances of superteams being formed too early.

I can tell it's challenging by the relative lack of submissions so far.

Yeah, the pool is really small for a first round pick(which I assume what most people will go for). Should be a lot of blocks IMO and couple leaving with really great players. Wonder if I missed some gems in my research...

 

[diarm]

I didn't realise ye aren't locked into the country. That makes things a little easier but it's still a pain in the arse. There will be a lot of blocks here, some of them on lesser players and someone is going to squeak though with a belter of a pick!

 

[Cal?]

Can some of you who keeps guessing who I would choose give me a hint on what I should do this time?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

as you already have a goat you dont need another one

I thought you already have submitted your vote

Hmm...

I thought you already have submitted your vote

According to my list the choice isn't obvious. That is not if you want a pick in the 1st round. Some great players available. Slouches usually don't score from free kicks.

How is it not obvious? You-know-who is on the list...

 

[mazhar13]

I have this feeling that some smart-aleck is going to block my pick...

 

[The Stain]

 

[bleezy]

How many are left to send their picks in @Gio?

 

[Stobzilla]

I certainly hope it isn't an as yet unpicked legend on the other end of that camera.

 

[Cal?]

@Gio 24 hours is up. Time to announce if everyone got blocked.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

It should be up shortly....in about 3 hrs.

Snow!!!

I can't believe you're the only one who ended up blocking Messi after your post about it not being obvious!!

 

[Stobzilla]

Isotope - PASS

Excellent...

[crappycraperson]

Haha.. second round is gonna be great

 

[The Stain]

 

[Balu]

You should all conspire and pick the same players, punish the sheep committee with lots of work for such a mean criteria . Finding 13 sheep who scored a direct freekick at a World Cup has to be a fecking nightmare, right?

 

[mazhar13]

Sjor Bepo/Physio - FAIL (David Villa)

Smart-alecks

You'd be surprised.
