You are very very luck @Edgar Allan Pillow
Wanted to pick him in R1 as a tribute since I couldn't find anyone who I would pick in the starting lineup.
I was about to pick him
maybe should have and given Edgar another sheep .There was one very decent keeper that was overlooked better than all of those picked.
Bonus round to start in 10 minutes

Haha yea, would have been a kick in the nuts that, sheep because of Fabrice Muamba

So it begins
SHEEP ALLOCATION
OneNil and Lord Sinister need keepers. As a rule, first sheep is worse than second, third, etc. There are no available keepers meeting the conditions, so going for the near misses (foreigners in PL that barely played back home).
@oneniltothearsenal @shrike get Gabor Kiraly
@Lord SInister @Charly get Richard Kingson
Tuppet and Prath/KM tried Vieira, then a pair of wingers.
@Tuppet has no sheep, so gets Ali Dia
@prath92 @KM get Adel Taarabt

Impossible to make stupid guesses.
PLEASE NOTICE: Puzzle 3 has been amended. There was a technically correct answer that is too easy. Team that spotted it first have scored.
damn.Please provide rationale behind your guesses.

Hands up, if you're stuck at every question.
I could be wrong but thought sure of picture.1.
Just for the record our pick was 100% eligible as the link I sent proved. If Lord Slinister also picked the same player that player should be blocked not that other lad.
Somebody re-post the handbags pic (in anticipation).
As explained in the convo, but it seems you couldn't wait for an answer:
Wiki entry said:
First paragraph of club career on Wikipedia.
Its not listed under the teams on wiki and that side is not listed on any other sources. For all I know that paragraph is totally wrong but whatever I am not continuing after this post.
For the record, you need to find the "right" answer.
E.g. the puzzle with St. Paul's Cathedral for São Paulo some tried St. Pauli and there was an excellent shout for Corinthians (St. Paul's letter). We consider those warm/hit the goalposts cases.
The earlier "goal" has been rescinded as the facts turned out to be bollocks. We will not be analysing wrong answers in detail (e.g. "none of them played professionally against some random Scottish club which Lippi did mysteriously play against").

We did state follow Wiki. And yes, I can see how you would miss that. I had looked at the same widget list and assumed he was OK until I saw GS rejecting it and double checked Wiki in full.
The problem here isn't whether a wiki paragraph is correct, it's two managers making the last round needing a goalie and their four attempts following the same order. Can't help you with that, it's the nature of a sheep draft.
If it's that man it looks pretty clear to me he isn't eligible given the 'football at any level' caveat. I mean he didn't go abroad until 15 so it's not as if he just picked up his gloves then.
Yeah he was on my list for those categories. But I've struggled to sell him a couple of times in drafts, it's harder work than it should be IMO given how well regarded he is by his peers.
I'm bribing GS in my game thread, so I'm going to win this lads, give it up!
I was about to pick him
There was one very decent keeper that was overlooked better than all of those picked.
Thanksfully you didn't. Can't afford another sheep.
I forgot to check the teamsheet and was abusing @Pat_Mustard for picking Barnes, Duh!.....But then any abuse at Pat and @Skizzo is never wasted.
I never went for him because of you specifically — knew that you were a fan and thought that you would pick him. Thankfully, you didn't
Wow these questions
Well Laudrup and Stoichkov were secured early on so the wide attacker pressure was off. Very useful to have a man like Finney though, comfortable as he is across the front line, in a draft where certain positions simply might not be available in certain rounds.
Got the 1st answer in less than a minute.
exactly, on top of that I know as much about GOT, as a Balotelli knows Tamil.Wow these questions
Just found an absolutely ridiculous stat that unites all of them bar Franz
If several teams have the same # of points, is there a draw to know the pecking order?
You're my AM now.
Piss off I want him!
Not in obviously.
I would hope so, it was made especially for you thigh lover.
I'm stuck, even my brilliant attempt at cracking the Greyjoys failed
That was friggin' awesome. Would have been great as the "hard puzzle".I'm stuck, even my brilliant attempt at cracking the Greyjoys failed
Even after you explain it @Pat_Mustard wouldn't get it.
