Exactly. Having a closed pool during end rounds is a pain. Everyone needs just one position to fill and a tight criteria makes it near impossible to have alternatives that you need in case of a block. Hopefully the next one is open or has a bigger pool.
The Third Redcafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Gio
- 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?
I have basically filled my whole team except a keeper, hopefully the next criteria is not about scoring
Excellent criterias, unfortunately in the wrong order though.
The pool for this one needed to be trimmed down somewhat before we could open it up.
@Gio deadline is up
I'm glad we didn't block each other in this round mate. I thought we were going for the same guy.

Well there's still time for 2 sheep. Try harder.I have basically filled my whole team except a keeper, hopefully the next criteria is not about scoring
Well, apart from a GK I'll try to get an upgrade on Carragher if possible.
@Gio do I still need to pick from Barca? Thanks.
Yes.
@MJJ I wanted to block him, but I was too nice to do so, so enjoy your new acquisition. 
I won't be sending a pick so no need to wait.
Why, if you don't mind me asking?
He probably thinks he'll get a better sheep than the player he'll chose.
Like the criteria before I quickly skimmed it and sent in the first pick I could think of. I picked Maldini because I knew he would block someone. Didn't think that you would have to pick from the same club. The picks that I see now that are left are in positions I already have.

:LOL: Thanks, was worried wyou wont go for bergomi.@MJJ I wanted to block him, but I was too nice to do so, so enjoy your new acquisition.
Next round?
*Stobzilla youtube*
After Facchetti, I think Castellazzi (not the keeper, my pick) is actually quite good for my team. I hope to sell him well because he was a great player for Inter and Italy.
Coming this evening.
best human player that i had privilege to watch.....now we can lose the first round match in peace #firstroundexperts @Physiocrat
#firstroundexperts @PhysiocratDraft twist: Whoever won last round wins the draft. Congrats @Šjor Bepo
Happy with the back line as it is:
Komano -- B.McNeill -- Cannavaro -- Vogts
Having in mind how tough this round is(and Komano as a sheep but will integrate him in the formation).

Still can't believe no-one blocked him. I think we have a decent side emerging so we'll probably meet sheepless Cal?
What non-human players have you watched?best human player that i had privilege to watch.....now we can lose the first round match in peace
half of the teams are with no goal keeper with 2 rounds coming. Hopefully that will be taken in mind by @Gio and the committee. 
BTW will we have a reinforcement round from the blocked players, I've seen it in some of the drafts?

Someone still had to pick from Barca so i couldn't well say it outright. But ye, obvious is obvious. I tried not going for the obvious in a previous round (Didi).Lies!
We thought of picking him as a rather "safe" choice as most will concentrate on defenders, but.....It was better so that both picks went through.
Sarosi!
Irwin and Neville? Cal's building a solid team here!
Very good indeed. Beckham tho as a CM looks odd and not enough to support De Rossi. But surely without sheep that's a great team and you will have advantage over other sides.Not bad so far methinks...
So far. Missing keeper and RW obviously.
Edit: ignore the arrows, came up when I was tinkering with the formation.

Very odd. He's got Beckham and Neville and chooses not to take advantage of that partnership. Ronaldo on the left means a very attack-minded left back to utilize the space he leaves. Irwin is a solid full back but he's more the Neville type. I knew this would happen as he couldn't resist going after Ronaldo but honestly he could have built a better team without one of the best players in the world.
Not that it matters though, other teams are riddled with sheep and his isn't so this should be a walk in the park for him.
