And the unvote should not be used later than 60 mins prior to closure.
The First Redcafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Moby
- Start date
Well, Pol hasn't been online since Tuesday so there might be a delay in today's game.
I agree. Would be great if that was a rule. The Tito vs Cutch game felt like 4 or 5 people wanted to make sure that it ends up in penalties, that's not how the games should be played out and as much fun as penalties are, a close finish with a lucky winner is just as great.
I agree with that too. Not sure if it's enforceable though. How can we keep constant track of who votes/unvotes?
I'd trust the 30 voters not to be cnuts, if it's an official rule of the game.
Just returned from an overseas trip
Give me 15 to put something together, thanks

Make the vote-count secret for everybody but the two managers? So nobody will have a clue what the actual vote is so they will vote on whoever deserves the win rather than to reach penalties.
Submitted to Aldo, thanks

What? Sure you would use the snake again (inverted) and maybe do the banned style for the final?
I'm in for any future drafts @Polaroid @antohan @Annahnomoss
I had an idea in mind but seems like there is lots of people waiting lol.

I think Polaroid and Antohan are the ones who waited the longest. If you have an idea I'd not rate it lower in the ladder than mine so check the interest in it.
I am sure we can have a vote or something in the end or whatever by the managers.
Two in tandem 
Imagine the threads in the general moaning. "All these stupid threads cluttering up the football forums". I know this doesn't mean anything and it's usually just whoever replies the quickest, but I'd love a spot in whenever the next draft is.
In fact I do recall someone mentioning that this deserves a separate forum to avoid the 'clog'. Mabe the werewolf, draft games etc can have a forum of their own.Two in tandem
Not sure how many are actually for this but I certainly am. The dead-time in some of these drafts can be absolutely dreadful.
Let's see. I won't mind a small break at the end of this as we have had two drafts almost back to back. Anto is planning a sheep draft as well as far as I know so maybe he can let someone else run something else instead of having two sheep drafts in a row.
In the end it all depends on who is free to run it. I hurried up this one a bit after the last one as I had loads of time in February.
In any case, whoever is doing next count me in. I deserve a spot after watching this one from outside.

I actually think that with the number of managers eager to play the next one we shouldn't wait too long before starting the next one.
Really looking forward for the semi finals.

Just the QF exits.
Annah and I will jointly run an auction draft, details are yet to be firmed up but essentially the concept is that managers will bid for players using a limited pot of transfer funds.
Managerial list to date
Annah
Pol
Aldo
Rpitroda
Isotope
Edgar
Sorry if I missed out some, please add your name here, we can go up to 32 managerial places if the demand is really there

Sounds good Pol.
I will have fun sitting back and watching that unfold.
edit: when does Antohan and Gio kick off?

@Polaroid @Annahnomoss
Sounds interesting, but have either of you considered what the timeline of players available would be?
I would like to participate, by the way

I'd give it a go
I will play.
Me please.
32 players might be too many IMO. That would be 16 extra knockout games which may drag on a bit long
I doubt we'd be able to get 32 anyway.
Waiting for the formation and tactics from @antohan.
Don't worry Anto is just suffering from pre-match nerves, he'll be with us soon.
We are going to have a discussion when he has time, he is still in the draft so it of course takes up a lot of time.
I think it is going to take a lot of mod time. Getting pool of players with values tagged and such.
I have played it a few times so feel free to ask about anything if you are not sure.
Just use that "The Sun's Dream Team"....
Sorry guys, got delayed handing back the summer house and had completely forgotten about the time changing yesterday when I said I would be here around noon!!!!!
Will get it all sent in a few minutes.

Let's discuss timming, etc. Mine was bound to be all-time and I would rather give that a rest for one more draft. May be best if you guys go first.
I have solutions for all this that will work. The fundamental principle will be that the market-value is determined by the market. If some player like Messi is valued at 1 mill, it wouldn't matter at all as the market will still make the price the same. So players who are valued below what you think they are worth - will reach their actual market value if your idea of their value is shared by others. If it isn't then you deserve the player you got for cheap.
Me and Pol have to discuss everything through before I make stuff public.
I was searching on Google, managed to find one from the same site you found the Sheep Draft. This is the group of players that someone arrived with after 8 rounds

Someone can end up with such an incredible team if they manage to get lucky!
