The Fifth Redcafe Sheep Draft

Looks like some of the existing players will actually go bald by the time all picks come in, thereby getting a bigger pool
 
Because my knowledge (and I use the word in the loosest sense) of footballers starts from the 70s but still sketchy until the 80s.

Plus the 90s have got lost in a drunken haze so I'm down to a couple of decades which is useless in these drafts.

Dude I have no idea about half the players. I hear names like Czibor and all and I don’t even know if it’s a man or woman :p

It limits you, but in most cases that's a large enough pool. Some rounds may take you to other eras but in ways that lead to interesting research.

Aye, researching the players and learning the history of football over time over multiple drafts is still great fun.
There are still quite a few picks in every draft which I didn't hear of before, but folks here know in great detail, which is again fun to read.

Started drafting just about when I quit smoking to keep myself busy during breaks at work when my software is compiling and I have nothing to do but wait. You lads are saving me from cancer :lol:

Heh. Most of our picks will be from modern era, both of us have feckall knowledge about 50-60's legends.
 
but I guess both of his statues are so hideous that it ruled him out.

We will have to go and search for more bald guys. Since morning I’d been searching for bald guys from the 60s on. The girl next to me must be thinking I’m some sort of creep :(

That's very much un the spirit of the round :drool:

Big thighs would be next :drool:
 
Curious how many collisions there are. One of those rounds where I feel there won't be many.

I just fecked it up, no idea what shade of green it is. Maybe I should go back to no colours, a lot less work!
