The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

I appreciate the offer, but I've been given some details from other managers in what they're future plans are so I feel I shouldn't :lol:

Apologies.
 
I don't think anyone has commented on the ballsiest move of last round, by the way: Kudos to Gio!

Goram has a couple of matches for United too - could be a vote puller, actually.
 
Great pick Edgar though I m not sure how it will work with rui costa

Baggio Shevchenko
Rui Costa
***** Alonso Ballack

With Rui Costa naturally dropping deeper at times and Baggio dropping off drifting into the gaps between defence and midfield.
 
He'll be short an outfield player if he is playing two people in goal though.

Huh?

Good thing Henry has been blocked already - reckon the first round would have seen about half trying to go for him :lol:


Edit: OK, I've found two excellent players that can taken in this round. If they aren't picked, I'll cry :lol:

Edit: THREE.

Am expecting a couple to be blocked right off the back. Still the pool is bigger than I thought it will be.
 
Complete Round 5 Results


antohan - Willy Sagnol
Balu - Jurgen Klinsmann

Polaroid - Samuel Eto'o
MJJ - Arturo Vidal
Stobzilla - Frank De Boer
Jayvin - Didier Deschamps
sullydnl - Michael Essien
Snipers Breath - Paul Gascoigne

That's a fecking terrible round for me, 3-4 players I either wanted or had as backups. Gone :(

Sticking with the plan, even more so @Cutch
 
Getting the fullbacks out of the way early seems like a solid plan.
 
Cutch going for an All Barcelona team then.

He seems to have gone all-Barca, while I went for improving the defence around poisoned chalice... Now watch us block each other both in attempt one and two :lol:

There's two in which I'd be astonished if they don't go.

Thought of a few others too - may not be worldies, but due to it being an extremely difficult round they're dwarf the potential sheep in terms of talent :lol:
 
Klinsmann? ;)
Would Klinsmann's short and very strange spell way after his retirement count? I'm not even sure in what league that Orange County club played. Effenberg played in Qatar, but that's not really helping now :lol:. I already submitted my pick and am quite happy with him, certainly not a vote winner, but someone who could have played a part in the last draft as well, imo.

Indeed. And it's a worry for me. Could easily bite me in the arse that I've neglected 'em thus far. Have to gamble a bit on some below-radar options, I reckon.

Not Freddy Adu then. ;)

My third attempt option would be a great pick for anyone in your predicament. Can't be picked this round though.

I have at least one candidate who I think is a fairly safe option. But the longer I wait to go for him, the less safe he becomes - as the pool gets drained. Couldn't have gone for him this round, though.
 
Not Freddy Adu then. ;)
I thought about him, but he's way too perfect as a sheep, we might need him later, so I chose someone else. It hurt a bit though, but I hope you rate my pick slightly higher than Freddy.
 
That's cool, AFC - take your time, mate.

I've got things to do and places to be this evening, so a bit of a breather isn't the worst prospect.
 
I'll have a pick lined up if need be but I'll only submit it if I'm one of the last few to go.
 
Yep, Dani Alves is a minor bet imo because he's been questionable defensively in numerous occasions over his career, so it's really a matter of cover for him along with the "right" opponent.

Good job i have him in tandem down the right with the jack of all trades Luis Enrique then. With no Ronaldinho/ C Ronaldo/ Figo/ Overmars etc in the game i can't see too many sides having a flank that will come out on top over those two.

Nedved Giggs and Stoichkov are your biggest threats I guess.. And they are a big threat.
