The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

I meant that Jorginho was better than Amoros offensively as a wing-back which is what puzzles me then. I get if you wanted a rock-solid defensive foundation so you went for Amoros-Jorginho and benched Branco.

Of all those three wing-backs, Jorginho would be the first one on the team sheet on the right if I had the same choice. Similar to Cafu with his great stamina, pace and crosses.

Amoros is the best full-back of the three though in my opinion.

Of all those three Branco would start on the left ahead of any other consideration. I can see why you would want Jorginho as a wingback: his defending is nowt to write home about. Amoros is the better player in both phases IMO.

Should have got Beckham TBH.
 
Yeah i'm startin to agree with you actually, suppose not everyones gonna have the same hard on i have for Claudio Lopez, and i forgot that Anto got Thuram.

We both have players who will be massively underrated. I doubt the likes of Koeman, Cocu or Popescu would get much credit if Lopez doesn't.

Bound to have the opposite situation whereby people glaze over players they don't know but are adamant about what they do or don't like with modern ones.
 
Giggs-Becks would have been enough.And seeing as you seem to count Ruud as a Real man...
:D
I think Raul could've been a problem.. I still feel it wasn't the right setup for him, RVN over him is a bigger upgrade than Becks over Donadoni there, as much sympathy as I have to Beckham joining Giggs & Irwin.

But Ruud is definitely a United man :)

What a waste... I fancied Raúl but thought he would be gone/blocked every single time I could go for him :(

It's not about joining people together, it's the beauty of how those two flanks worked and challenged rivals differently.
 
@Pippa @AldoPaine18 can we postpone the match by a day to 8 March? Sorry I will be tied up until that day, hope it will not inconvenience you, thank you
 
En attente the confirmation of @Pippa

Edgar Allan Pillow vs VivaJanuzaj - March 4
Cutch vs Thisistheone - March 6
Polaroid vs Pippa - March 8
antohan vs Gio - March 10
 
Anyone know what's up with Chesterle? Seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. :(
 
For a future draft, would anybody be interested in one where we put "market prices" on all existing players then build a team with a limited fund? Say you get 150 mill and you need to get 12 players. It would mean Messi/Ronaldo would be out of the equation unless you took a huge risk.

Does it sound fun? Could have bid-wars if several managers wants the same player instead of turns. BTW I am sure it has been done before.

Yeah Pol has something like that in mind, he is planning to run it soon.
 
Thanks mate I sent him a PM. Antohan and Pol both has drafts coming up then? Which order?
No order or date as such. Anto has another sheep draft planned. Pol has an auction draft planned. I have a couple of ideas but after all these are done. I need to get some of the action now after sitting on the sidelines. :D
 
:D I'll be getting in the action as well after suffering a tough defeat :)

I honestly have to say that this has been the funnest draft I've ever played. Great work.

@Polaroid I'd be interested in that auction draft. It's much less time consuming.
 
32 managers would take forever. I'll stand aside and let others have a go next time. Can always AM someone instead.

About to send my write up in now, how we looking @Cutch ?
 
I'm in for any drafts! Maybe we should look at increasing the manager pool for the next ones!

Do we have 32 managers here?

It's a lot more admin and a lot more likely blocks, not necessarily a lot more time if you are happy to see it run 24-12-12 and not as and when everyone has voted.
 
Since I already used the sort by number of sheep thingy for the first reinforcement round, what do people think of a sheep style reinforcement round?

Same thing as earlier, all 4 semi finalists pick someone from the pool left from those who went out in the quarters. 2 rounds and only one attempt per round.
 
The block option would make it too tough imo.

Anyway I have put it out there for everyone to discuss. Whatever the 4 semi finalists prefer would be done in the end.
 
Yes. It is more interesting to see an improved sides on the next round, instead of seeing teams with the same players.
 
Yes, I like the sheep pick, though without the black feature. Also like the banned players round, if failed due to multipicks, the players go back into the pool for the next picks (and next round)

Just 4 managers, so should be quicker. Just 2 player reinforcements again or can we make it more?
