Mike's Sheep Draft

[Jim Beam]

This is such a messy round. Wonder how many R1 blocks for same player!

EAP - FAIL (Player Blocked)

 

[Enigma_87]

I already have 4 sheeps, so I may as well spent time blocking others

Including those already in the block list.

 

[Isotope]

So close but so far away.

 

[Enigma_87]

Sent 2nd and 3rd pick as most likely we will clash with scrappy.

Damn you!!! Thought i'd discovered a gem there!

Sent 2nd and 3rd pick as most likely we will clash with scrappy.

Probably wont. Didnt really want Romario, but Ronaldinho Romario Garrincha was too good to let it pass. My team will hardly make past round 1, might as well make the draft a little competitive.

My pick 3 has anyways been blocked. Was Diego, so will have to change that

 

[The Stain]

Who invited Zlatan?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Including those already in the block list.

Worse, I blocked him myself last round

 

[Chesterlestreet]

That will do.

Glad to get out of this round without any hassle, though I wish I had more time to research potential gems.

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.

Nah I was going for a goat definitely(Ronaldinho, Muller, two unpicked) and one lesser player in some case. Has really hoping I could nab Henry too, but it turned out really good in the end getting Campbell also in the mix as I needed a CB.

If someone blocked Ronaldinho and left me with Henry it could’ve been much worse mind.

Knew Diego was a no go.

If you posted earlier I might have not gone with Romario just to leave him in the pool.

You have one sheep but with Charlton, Hamrin, Carlos Alberto, etc you have competitive enough team for being paired against most of the other teams. And that’s not out of courtesy

I think you just smashed the yearly @antohan award right there.

Who invited Zlatan?

 

[Indnyc]

Ok did not expect that but I’ll take it

@GodShaveTheQueen @Isotope @Edgar Allan Pillow

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Serves me right for blocking Romario

 

[Enigma_87]

Pretty happy actually. Not as good as Romario but my 2nd best pick.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Can't catch a break! Feck.

 

[The Stain]

Someone post the Romario, Maradona and Cruyff games. Completely missed them Want to see what they look like.

[Zlatan 7]

I found this one with cryuff and Maradona on, I couldn’t work out who was top right in this pic

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Sent 3rd pick. Surely a sheep.

Also, I cropped this to trick Michael

It’s not a video game cover. It’s b/r recreating what would’ve been video game covers from an early eras.

edit: you knew this, sorry. I wonder if Edgar went the same way

 

[Enigma_87]

Yeah I found these too yesterday. It's not only Cruyff but also a lot of gems in the same mold, not sure if it would count, but wasn't interested in Cruyff as soon as I got Garrincha so never asked.

Edit:

The Romario and Maradona however are legit 100%.

 

[Marty1968]

Seconded

Will send the maradona link at end of round

 

[Isotope]

Definitely shopped.

Nah am just kidding. Mike is too strict for that to pass through.

I found this on my very first search

 

[Enigma_87]

that's legit then.
