[oneniltothearsenal]

10. @Invictus/ @Ecstatic - PASS (Ronaldinho, Gianluca Zambrotta)

15. @Lord SInister/ @Charly - PASS (José Santamaría and Héctor Rial)

It looks like we were doomed for sheep no matter what we chose

 

[Tuppet]

Well played @Edgar Allan Pillow

 

[mazhar13]

Well, this will take some time...

 

[Indnyc]

@Edgar Allan Pillow gutsy gutsy choice! Well done

 

[Skizzo]

Well played @Edgar Allan Pillow

Seconded @Edgar Allan Pillow nicely done indeed.

Bummed that I didn't spent enough time researching Ronaldinho in the first round. Couldn't find a connection quickly and moved on

I was surprised you went for Kocsis/Czibor....that too in R3. They were a so obvious as soon as I heard the criteria even without research.

My backup choice (which I thought was a straight block) also went unpicked, tbh!.

The first one I thought of went unpicked yet I ended up with 2 sheep!

 

[green_smiley]

@oneniltothearsenal / @shrike

For your sheep pair, one is slight upgrade on Bramble. Both represented their respective country in international football

Spoiler: Spoiler

Tal Ben Haim and Kieron Dyer (both played together at QPR and West Ham)

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

We had a list of about 8 unpicked we would have been happy with

 

[green_smiley]

For @P-Nut0712 , these are your sheep

Spoiler: Spoiler

Jesper Gronkjaer and Mario Melchiot, both played at Chelsea/Birmingham

 

[P-Nut]

Picks in who we waiting on
Lel

 

[idmanager]

Very good picks despite the blocks.
What’s funny is that my second and third choice pairings also went unpicked.

 

[idmanager]

Please update this once you send your picks for the waiting others

Round 5 picks sent = 2

(Pnut, idm)

 

[mazhar13]

Round 5 picks sent = 3

(Pnut, idm, Mazhar)

Does receding hairline count? I.e. Something like this

 

[green_smiley]

Does receding hairline count? I.e. Something like this

This example is acceptable

The acceptance may be case-by-case basis

I know who you’re looking at already

 

[Indnyc]

I know who you’re looking at already

I am still not sure if that works

 

[2mufc0]

Hmm when did Cristiano and Ruud play together at Madrid? The database I used only showed Ruud was subbed on for him for one game (does this count as playing together?) they never actually were on the pitch at the same time because of injuries according to this database.

Yes it counts

Those in bold ain't teammates under your definition either.

In any case, they have been defined strictly as sharing a pitch together playing for the same side so as to avoid this kind of discussion.

Doesn't quite roll of the tongue as a title for the round thus the use of teammates, which is correct. Venn diagrams and all that.

As per @antohan 's definition , it should not count.

 

[green_smiley]

As long as both appeared in same match, it counts

 

[Indnyc]

Do they have to be on the pitch at the same time? I probably know the answer but just for clarification..

Yes

Based on this it shouldn’t count because they weren’t on the pitch at the same time

 

[green_smiley]

Still counts. Decision has been made and will not be reversed

Please understand the need for us draft mods to make quick decision, even more so with all 3 of us in different time zones and managers' demand to speed up the drafting process
