The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

No problem. Basler's plastered by now anyway getting his hands full with chebs at the strip club, having stormed off in a rage following Balu's acquisition of Scholl, calling Buchwald an "anti-football" cnut.

:lol: Feck me, I haven't heard that one in a while. Been spending too much time in polite company.
 
I'm looking forward to seeing "who blocked who". Probably moreso than seeing if I got my third pick or not.

Well done, Polaroid. I was certain Redondo would have been picked/blocked for the third round so I let him go.

Did enjoy - very much. Thanks Aldo (and kps) so far, excellent entertainment.

The one out the door for me is Malouda (as should be confirmed by PM).

I have to keep The Rock on board. Not just because I've sort of lauded him to you ignorant bums. But also because he's a defender of prime quality, a professional to the bone and - not least - a player used to the pressure of high prestige knock-out tournaments.
 
Sheep cannot be replaced? In that case, I have to decide between petit and gundogan
 
@AldoPaine18
Could you post who picked and blocked what players in all 3 stages of this round? I want to know what Anto did and who blocked Matthäus for me in the first stage :)

And thanks for running this draft, it was brilliant so far. Great job.
 
It was one I was assisting Snow in. Champions league maybe. We had the whole old Mourinho Chelsea defence but Gallas was seen as a liability which surprised me a bit.
That is surprising, will check out the match thread, thanks cutch
 
@AldoPaine18 I'll remove Righetti :D finally my instincts were good as I went for Bergomi initially and changed to Lahm.. Makes my team really really solid and tougher to beat

Final team:
Nikopolidis
Lahm Terry Carvalho Baines
Modric Ince
A.Sanchez Laudrup Nedved
Crespo​

Turned my defense from fine to great, one of the best full backs of this generation, a solid full back with great attacking influence, and a proven center back partnership, covered by a strong defensive midfielder and a hard working creative midfielder..

Any weaknesses you lads want to point out? Maybe switch Modric and Ince around?

Thanks mate, glad that everyone liked it.

Here are all the picks. You got screwed by Pol right at the end when he blocked Matthaus. His was the second last pick.

I agree it really was brilliant. Thanks Aldo this has been my favorite draft by far and I've played plenty of them in the newbies
 
Are you allowed to jettison a sheep here or does it have be one of the other boys?
 
Ffs @Polaroid . Imagine Matthäus in midfield with Effenberg and Sammer :drool:. At least I did the same to you in stage 2, when you were the only one picking him and I was the only one blocking him.

Ya brilliant that Aldo freshened up the draft scene with this interesting concept, fine work by him and kps88 in running this
 
Final Squad


Sub: David Villa

This is definitely the best team I've seen so far - IMO it was a top 3/4 side anyway before you struck gold with Romario, which has taken it up another level.
