Don't do it
You've just blocked a shitload amount of players for yourself. I don't even know how many.
I know. Worth it.You've just blocked a shitload amount of players for yourself. I don't even know how many.
LOADS of players!! Some serious talent there.
Balu has to go for him now surely .
.No, I struggle between two others. I prefer one, @crappycraperson the other one. I'm not sure what to do now, probably flip a coin if I can't make up my mind in the next 5 mins.Balu has to go for him now surely
Yes!important thing is - chippen is free!
Was really looking forward to seeing you build another excellent team around him again. Understandable though, given the particular restrictions of this draft, which makes it a gruelling task catering that specific brand of football.All those players will prob be picked before it comes around to me. If not, they'll be blocked in reinforcements
Both crappy and me have done it. Makes no sense to do it again.

Damn it.
And, sandwiched between Gio and the three musketeers, sigh.

There are so many ways to go here. Once the totally obvious names are gone (which they almost are now), it's very tricky to decide which way to begin.
This is a great draft to be a middle spot imo.
Oh there are loads. Just difficult to decide on one!
How did you continue from there? Should I simply give crappy the next pick? Or did you always ask the wisdom of the coin?I don't think @Skizzo and I have ever regretted bowing to the superior wisdom of the coin
Wow, @Balu not a german GOAT? Anyhow wise choice. Best, Eusebio, Di Stefano and one name that hasn't been picked yet are really no brainers for this round. Not blocking too many players and one of the best attackers...
We'd only ever trouble the coin if we couldn't decide on a pick ourselves, which usually only happened in the reinforcement rounds. It doesn't bode well for your partnership with Crappy that you're disagreeing already

I am fine with the pick. Makes more sense with these restrictions anyway.
You won't get safer picks than Eusebio and Bestie in this draft.
without researching i would say Maradona is probably up there....
True, he's one obvious pick as well.
Yeah, Maradona annoyingly combines the 'best ever' tag with blocking few other greats. Pele really sucks in comparison.
Pele and Beckenbauer are the only picks so far, who block each other. Should be interesting to follow how many will after the first round.

Good set of rules. It's always advantageous to be at either end of a sheep draft so it's good to open it up with the lamb concept.
