Mike's Sheep Draft

Not true. Especially in your case. You probably got Platini but when I was searching Rivaldo/Mauro Silva was one good pair that came up which upgrades both Sterling and Dinu.

I am revealing names as Indnyc is boring me and he anyways can't pick any of them

I didn't want Rivaldo as I'd liked a more dominant playmaker in my current set up if I'm to move Ronaldinho wide. Rivaldo/Ronaldinho obviously would work but only with a striker IMO, hence Garrincha would've been redundant in this set up and my right flank is set up in stone.

Rivaldo and Ronaldinho in 4-2-3-1 seems off to me - both like the left side and if I upgrade Sterling with Rivaldo I'd lose a lot of work rate in my team.

Didn't like the idea of Silva too as he's an anchor and essentially would've liked a more complete CM/DM.

The only combo that looked appealing to me was Souness / Enzo tbh, but again wasn't too sure how Enzo will work with Dinho.

Thought Chumpitaz/Boniek would've been great for you. Works with Terry and you can move Blokhin up top in a counter attacking set up.

PS: didn't go for Platini btw, as Dinu was weaker player in my team compared to Sterling. Pretty happy with who I got, ticks all boxes.

Yea it was my 3rd round choice but I don't fancy Chumpitaz against those strikers as I said.

Wow, that is a shocker. Maybe Marty got him then.

If you went Socrates, you have my vote as well.

I think Socrates/Ardiles was eligible too
 
Indy stopped me having Montero and I really needed him. Didn’t know anyone else on the Uruguay team apart from Forlan.
And yeah, like feck was Indy getting forlan after blocking my Montero :lol:
He should have gone for forlan first, he’s got John Walters ffs

I needed Montero to go 3-5-2.. Which you ruined!

Didn't go for #10 at all, after I missed on Pele. More tactical pick considering I couldn't upgrade 2 positions. And whilst not that flashy name(although he's one of the best in his position and certainly the best option I had from the pool), was much needed to balance it out.

Think Marty got him, considering he got 2 passes and the others were balls deep in Zidane/Desailly/Lizarazu along with the Uruguayans.

Socrates / Ardiles was available, but Ardiles was again the Falcao type - more of a playmaker than the all action player that I needed besides Essien, and the reason why I didn't start Ocwirk the first game as well. Also Chester might have gotten him anyway (both), considering he was stuck in 1982.

At the end it was a sheep + top pick and I went with CM, although Platini was very tempting I must say.

Am glad. At least still remains competitive.
Sheep drafts always are. Next round if the block list is open it will blow it wide open. Not that much in it either way.

Excellent picks for you too.

Happy with BFS. If I'm through #10 / LW would be easier to upgrade I thought, but we will see how it will pan out :)
 
Hey buddy. Away with work for a couple of days so Thursday would be best if can wait until then??
No problem.. I have already sent mine.. We can start whenever you are ready.. Thursday is perfectly fine
 
Reinforcement Round 2 - Birthday

Note: Players on the block list are abailable in this round so you can attempt to pick the same player more than once in this round.

Pick two players that have the same birthday (day and month have to be the same, the year can be different)

Wait, if one of the players gets a pass, do we get locked in the same birthday!?!

Edit: :lol: will send in a few minutes as I don't have much time to search anyway...

No blocks so you can theoretically pick the same combination every time
 
Not if you get a pass in one of those picks. Then you have to pick one with the same birthday.

Will send shortly.
I assume if you get player A pass and player B fail, next round you can pick player B again or someone from the same birthday as player A
 
Wow. Although the options are wide open, once you're blocked, you get screwed.
