The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

You've got to be kidding me. I guess I know who I am going for in the blocked player round :(
 
Pippa's loveletter to Thiago Silva in the thread about defending must have influenced quite a few of the managers here :lol:.

What thread is that Balu, I'll have a read
 
What is a blocked player round? Do we get to choose from the blocked players in the end?

:lol: I stand by my opinion that apart from Nesta, Thiago Silva is the best central defender in this draft.

I'm almost certain the other player Stobzilla was talking about would have loved to play with Gullit, too. I'm looking for a real target man though, not someone who could run the length of the pitch and score wonder goals against Bayern, if that's who I think you're talking about.
 
Yeah, I'm quite sure the last round will be when we can pick from the blocked players, no?
 
What have been the different criteria for each round so far?
1st round: No players allowed who finished top 3 at the Ballon d'Or
2nd round: Players who scored in a CL final
3rd round: Players who got sent off in a game with their club
4th round: Player who got knocked out in the group stages of an international tournament
5th round: Shorter than 183cm
6th round: Played league games on at least two different continents

If I remember correctly?

Why did you stop editing it in the posts on the first page? There's at least one more post, you could use? And we could tell the other managers to delete their posts, that would actually be great.
 
Ok, so I totally hadn't realised Guardiola was eligible that last round! Myself and Anto were clearly both after him (mind games the last few rounds) so Anto would have had a free run only Pols now went and blocked him :lol:

He wasnt. His height is exactly 1.83m, I checked. Wanted him instead of vidal originally.

Really should have gotten a fullback on the fifth round on reflection.

Yeah, I would do that in a while.

:lol: Yeah he would be pretty pissed.
 
I know who a few people have picked for this round and all of them ended up with a non-blocked pick :drool:

Some good names are going to be going through :lol:
 
It shouldn't. You need to have a squad before that. You should not be relying on that round to complete your team or you willbe screwed.

Are we doing something like that in the end? Because that sounds crazy :lol:.

That's why I was not telling right now.

Concentrate on these rounds, and complete the team that you can take forward to the tournament.
 
Should I delete the link? I instantly stopped caring about that blocked players round when I read that post :lol:. That's mental, but I don't want to confuse anyone.

Either you really didn't deserve him or went for Guardiola-lite and now I'm getting my second pick blocked as well! :mad:

It is, but that round is actually my only hope at this stage. Being one round behind picking players from the off is hurting way too much! :(
