Sheepsintheteamovic (the older, I mean, obviously) isn't eligible for this draft. In fact, he's the only blocked player.
 
Bluffs should be part of the game - not least in a less-than-super-serious draft (sheep qualifies as such).

They rarely actually happen, though, in my experience.

Most drafters are gents. I wouldn't mind more genuine mind games myself, actually, being a closet fan of the dark arts.

Heh! Nevermind - I just realized that I got things completely mixed up. There's a reason for it - but it makes no practical difference. Will clarify when the round's over.

And here comes the clarification:

When I did my initial short list I had Thuram down for both Monaco and Barca. I then realized there was a "can't have won anything" caveat in place - and, thus, the Barca part should have been scratched (they won the Supercopa, so the whole thing was a no-go). But it wasn't (scratched): because I copy/pasted Thuram's Barca season (not his Monaco one) in my PM to @Michaelf7777777.

And then, reading certain responses, I got my wires all crossed - in all sorts of ways - because my pick ended up blocked, simply, and not ineligible (which it actually was). In other words, for a brief (and maybe not entirely sober) time, I actually thought that someone had landed players from that Barca season: which included heavy hitters of the first water, of course.

Mike's mistake is very understandable, of course - since both Enigma and Mustard also picked Thuram on the same attempt. But - yeah - there it is. Like I said initially, though, it made no practical difference - the player was a bust.
 
We anywhere near a result?

Not much loopholes on those criteria also. He must have learned a great deal teaming up with GSTQ last time :lol:

And dang. How did you guys find those players on Round 3? My "extensive" research just went as far as Bayern and Dortmund.
