My head's not in the game. Pick the most obvious round 1 combo then proceed to acquire a semi-sheep in order to get a good pick. Only that pick is on the block list. RIP.

What you should be doing is, send the good pick with a ineligible pick. So if the good pick is blocked, both the picks are wrong and you are free to choose a new game again again. If of course the good pick passes instead, you can then pick the semi sheep from the game.

Well, well...low risk approach not quite paying off (yet again). Could have picked up an absolute monster there - but since he was available in multiple scenarios, I was pretty sure he'd end up blocked.
Still, pieces added, sheep avoided - fair enough.

jesus what a shit round
TBF I thought it was pretty good
@Indnyc great picks that. Thought of going for Muller last round as Ronnie and Henry would've been popular but was pretty sure if he gets blocked it would turn into a very shit round as I had to go for a CB and you picking Giles would ended up in the shit. 
for what i need is shit
I've just been given O'shea as my sheep despite having both full back positions already filled, your problems are nothing to me

See, he's a good left winger!
O'Shea is too good a sheep. He's a vote winner, imo!

Thanks! I was really hoping Leeds would go under the radar and no one would go for the other guy!
I'll take your O'Shea for my Jon WaltersI've just been given O'shea as my sheep despite having both full back positions already filled, your problems are nothing to me
Sent pick 1 just to piss my old friend Enigma off.
Sent pick 2 as a hopeful
Sent pick 3 seeking ridiculous amount of luck.

I've already got 1 useless sheep striker I don't need another cheers
Also sent
Aye, first pick would be a most certain block. (You also need a striker, so don't give me that
)I imagine #2 and #3 would be the same...
sent too..

Unless I'm missing something there aren't many options so this could be quite a sheep fest
Oh dear.. I think i understand and probably have picked the same playerAye, first pick would be a most certain block. (You also need a striker, so don't give me that

This is such a messy round. Wonder how many R1 blocks for same player!
Depends how deep people are willing to dig, I suppose. There's a vast number of titles, on all kinds of platforms - so if you go looking beyond the obvious ones, it should be possible to unearth some gems. I've found a couple already - but the problem is obviously that by now people have specific needs, position wise, and the pool is clearly disproportionate (goal keepers generally don't tend to feature on covers).
I've come across some grey area stuff too, doing a quickish search - depictions of players who probably are intended to be X, Y or Z but the likeness is so feckin' shabby that I wouldn't risk it (and I haven't been able to confirm anywhere who the player is supposed to be).
Interesting theme - bad timing, since I really don't have time to go crazy with this.
I just went for someone I expect to pass so I don't have to research the full thing.
I already have 4 sheeps, so I may as well spent time blocking others

Good man. With all these GOATS floating about, I could do with some more sheep. That is, I could do with other people getting more sheep.
Same here, mate. 2 positions sorted at the end for which could've been a very tricky round, considering we both went for some of the most popular choices
I'm pretty sure one GOAT slipped through this time and most probably @Jim Beam got him.
I wasn't expecting you to have got someone quite on Ronaldinho's level after this post! I nearly cock-blocked Beam on his Neeskens and Butcher duo but I didn't want to risk being locked into that Ipswich team. I actually assumed he'd went for an even more highly regarded GOAT. Thank feck no-one got that Messi/Cristiano combo.
We anywhere near a result? I'm about to go to bed and don't imagine being up for a while
