The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

Whoops. Turns out he had over 600 club appearances. :lol:

Are you sure that's not including internationals? When you subtract them it's roughly 525, give or take a handful of games.

Anyhow, the operative term here is DFB-Pokal. If it's the same single red card it's very very unlikely we are talking about different people!

I think we're not talking about the same player. So I'm going to stick with him, feck it all! Mine has over one red card anyway.
 
@antohan @Pippa Shit I fear we might all picked the same player.
Should I follow Balu's old code and replace my pick? Or should I hope for the best instead of having another Messi situation?

Balu's old code was NOT replacing the pic, which is why I didn't even bother announce it. I think the Messi situation is elsewhere if we are three on this guy :lol:

Sticking with it, wouldn't mind seeing who else has/hasn't been banned by turn 2.

No, it's including all club appearances. According to Wikipedia he has over 750 career club appearances, I think.
 
@crappycraperson I know, feck it, I decided I'm not changing my pick even if someone goes ahead and declares he's picking him, this game is killing me.

God I want this round to end.

You know what? I think we are going for the same guy. No, not the one I mentioned above, I'm quite clearly not going for him.

The player I've chosen hasn't played in the Pokal, has only 1 documented red card, has played in at least 2 different leagues, and has played for at least 3 different teams. And his appearance record shatters 600. I don't think we have a similar player at all.

Well you might very well be, I'm not falling to these mind games, I don't care if round 1 pick goes blocked.
But I doubt you know who I'm going for, my guy really has no link to what you wrote, he has over 1 red card, less than 500 league appearances..
So, go ahead and take him. Worst case, we'll get him blocked, although I'm pretty sure someone more silent has went for him anyway..

Yeah I was having a short meltdown. I'm sure someone else got my pick.

Now you are scaring me VJ.

Edit-Ignore that. Didnt read over.

Naturally.. I'm conflicting myself wether to give you a hint that might make you change your mind or not.
Let me ask you this..
If I'll give you a super strong hint that will basically tell you who I'm going for, if it's your pick will you change it or keep it just to block me?
And if it isn't your pick, will you change yours just to block me?

Nah, I think we are cool. Mine only has one red card. I misread it as only 1 red card.

Mmmm. Anyhow, no, I didn't think we would double up. I was going for the other chap anyway, just that it seems everyone is avoiding the obvious ones so wondering whether to have a pop!
 
Nah feck that.

You mean as in collect and publish the results in the form of a...er...Google form?

I think it's more entertaining to have it all transpire here, if I'm honest. But we could of course submit our picks that way - if it's more convenient for you than a bunch of PMs. You could still publish the results here as per the present method.
 
Nah, I think we are cool. Mine only has one red card. I misread it as only 1 red card.

So we have three chaps on a single red card? Christ. I see what you meant about wanting to know who we were talking about. Clearly not HIM, HIM, HIM and a couple of other credible HIMs available. What am I doing going for HIM-lite?
 
I was wondering, wouldn't it be easier for everyone if I made a Google form and you could send me the picks through it?

As a WW player you should know that has massive potential for a cock-up. It's best if you get PMs with details, links, rationale, etc. as well. I know I would rather get that than a boring excel.
 
@antohan I think there are at least 7-8 fellas in this round who are "obvious picks". I'm sure a few of them won't be picked and a few will be picked by several people. It's simply a matter of luck, mind games are worth shit here.

I'm going for HIM this time. Or a HIM, one HIM, one of the HIMs. At least I'd say I am. Prepared to have him or HIM blocked. But I want the thrill of a second pick - or at least the possibility thereof. If I don't get my HIM, however, I have a back-up that I would be absolutely shocked if anyone has even thought of.

Are you going for HIM or Little HIM?
 
Gah, @AldoPaine18 we still waiting for that one guy right?

I know the deadline is tomorrow, but yeah just wondering if we are really down to just the one guy.

See you in round 2 imo

I'm not doing mindgames, the temperature check I'm getting though is everyone is convinced whoever they go for is precisely the one who will get blocked so maybe moving away. I call it opportunity!

In Fergie's term I'm going for a top, top player. I do know people, however, who would claim he is just a top (not a top, top) player, though. They're wrong - but it's an opinion you come across every now and then.
