That would be the fairest scenario IMO.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Me too... I seriously considered Baresi and it'd be seriously problematic now.
Yeah, but see above. The other guy wouldn't necessarily be any worse for the trick - so actually outsmarting anyone wouldn't be an option regardless.
I think I got spot on with your pick, but let's see
CHILE-GATE: RESOLUTION
Right I've heard enough. The Sheep Committee has decided that:
@Joga Bonito
@Invictus
@KM
- Insufficient is a woolly definition open to interpretation. For the remainder of this round it has been clarified to mean 'no' remaining eligible players.
- On that basis both Joga Bonito and Invictus/KM have to choose the remaining player, executing that second pick in Chile and scooting their way to the third round where it will be opened up to other countries.
I hope that clarifies matters and apologise for any confusion caused.
@Joga Bonito
@Invictus
@KM
I just hope none of the 'Pass'ed managers have taken Italian players.I think I got spot on with your pick, but let's see
I wanted Figueroa even when I thought he'd block two rounds, but it actually makes a lot of sense not to have that happen. If you had the same case with three managers and two players it would lead to a minimum of two sheep. They should be free to pick from any country for their second pick (please not Italy).
I just hope none of the 'Pass'ed managers have taken Italian players.
All hail the evil committe! Although, would have been more fun if both teams "missed" the deadline and had to go goalie or sheep lel.
For a while I went back and forth on all three of the blocked guys, writing a little pro and con for going for them.
Decision accepted but me and invictus really interpreted the ruling as it was previously explained and thus chose him. It was a calculated risk.
Get it done tonight so we get next round criteria. Need my fix.
Just @Marty1968 and @bleezy to submit for this round.
Hmm, if we have 2 players eligible and 3 managers to choose, if all 3 choose one and the same player, what happens in R3? They'll essentially have blocked one of the players and only have 1 left, which would be even more fecked up scenario...
Unfortunately I think this is not the case and at least 1 player is definitely pickedI just hope none of the 'Pass'ed managers have taken Italian players.
Well, you can always hope.I just hope none of the 'Pass'ed managers have taken Italian players.
No, they all choose player 2 in round 2 and end up with a free pick in round 3.Hmm, if we have 2 players eligible and 3 managers to choose, if all 3 choose one and the same player, what happens in R3? They'll essentially have blocked one of the players and only have 1 left, which would be even more fecked up scenario...

I'm 90% sure it was my other choice. I won't be jealous.Yay!!!!! You guys will be jealous when all is revealed...
Did anyone go English?
It was essentially a choice of 2 in the end for me, I chose this one cause the alternative is IMO better than "your" alternative?
If they did, don't say nothing. People have free pool now.
I know stain. Was hoping someone would say something lol
No, I mean you have for example Elías Figueroa, the other that was eligible, and say the midfielder entered the pitch and we have 3 Chilean at round 1 to pick from. Like above say we as well have picked Elias and Joga and KM/Invictus. Then for round 2 we have 2 players eligible but 3 managers. Afterwards we have all three managers picking either player A or player B, effectively blocking him. In this case in round 3 you will have 3 managers 1 player to choose from(eligible). Is it a void pick again or the pool will be opened?
Guess those guys have submitted their 3rd picks regardless so i guess it's fine to say..
and they already know one player that was picked so.....shh!
Well, with the precedent now set, they'd all get sheep'ed. Unless two of them tried to "outsmart" the third one, but forgetting - sadly - that there were no more rounds.
Hehe i reckon it doesnt matter now anyway.
No, they are stuck with the remaining Chilean pick this round. 3rd pick happens same with everyone else remaining after this round.
Well, it's literally true - ain't it? Hope springs eternal.
Not saying I went Italian myself. But it would be a bit odd if nobody did.
Yes, must be so.
I see, guess if player A is blocked and player B & C are both essentially sheeps, it'd be upto luck for the 3 managers to hope that one other chooses the same one as they do and the other chooses a different one.
Round 2: manager 1 (B), manager 2 (B), manager 3 (C) = manager 3 gets stuck with C, the other 2 gets a free choice in round 3.
Enjoying this draft a lot as a spectator. Gio being enough of an evil bastard which is always important
Yeah me too. It's just tonight I've had the chance to have a proper read through and I'm loving some of these criteria!
I'd be in bits trying to second guess everyone as a player though! I'd likely have 4 sheep already.
My excel sheet would probably have crashed the computer by this stage as well.
Yeah thought so as well. Makes sense.
That'd be quite something considering we've only had 2 full rounds.
Yeah i'd be in bits too. Deliberating whether to go big or play it fairly safe.
So far I've learned to just not overthink it. Easier said than done, mind.
I know!That'd be quite something considering we've only had 2 full rounds.
Yeah, just thought the way you phrased it is quite funny.I know!
