The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

I have a sneaking suspicion Balu could end up getting his picks here - his theme might be his advantage. And blocking him may not be an option when we reach the final stages of this thing - how many will be comfortable enough with their own team to play the blocking game as a matter of priority? Last rounds will be funky as hell, I predict. This one too, for that matter.
I hope so :nervous:. But there's the Anto factor and there are a few who might not pay as much attention as others. I also have no idea how many managers could pick them because of the criterion.
 
Why? You should be loving this, a spastic run on keepers while you laugh all the way to the bootroom with your shiny new couple of players. :D

I know. An attempt at mind games. But I think mind games are pretty useless when it comes to this round. I reckon a fair few will have gone for a keeper as it is. And if they haven't, they'll go for one as their second choice.

Only three keepers picked so far. And mine is the best in the pool. Balu has a very fine keeper, to be sure. But he's no monster compared to my man. And Goram, bless 'im, is only worth the price of two in a chant. In reality he's a babydoll compared to my man.

That's the silly bit of not making a deal. I'm the only one out there with a current Bayern player and a German international, bar Edgar and Ballack. Germans clearly haven't been very fashionable (or your approach has been wildly effective :eek:).

:lol: It sucks that I'm on wrong board here, so I won't argue that ;).

I actually am a bit worried if I get both my picks I may struggle for a keeper after some mass ban on them. Mmmmm...
 
I think the best keeper of them all hasn't been picked yet. I expect he'll be picked this round, though.

The reason why I didn't make a deal is because imo it's simply wrong, we all agreed that we don't do stuff like that. I don't care about an advantage or disadvantage. If you're trying to make me even more nervous, it's working :lol:. I won't regret saying that deals suck though, even if I end up with two sheep here.

I have a very bad feeling you are going for a defender who I wanted but cant take in this round.

Nonsense. The best keeper has already been picked.

But, yes - I know what you mean. And HE will be blocked. If not I'd consider it one of the greatest upsets of the draft.

Yeah, I agree, I'd rate him slightly higher as well, but it's close between those 3 imo. At their peak all 3 were basically invincible and stand above all the other keepers of the last 25 years.
 
If anyone is interested, to pass the time, my brilliant team so far: :lol:

GK
RB Righetti CB LB
CM Modric
A.Sanchez Laudrup Nedved
Samaras

Jesus, that looks terrible :lol: I have a fine front three(apart from Samaras) but I don't know who I should get rid of, Samaras or Righetti. Samaras is capable and he did play rather well against Barca and tore their defense apart several times, and Righetti is just unlucky to be born on an amazing time for Italian defenders..
Need to get no more sheeps, that's for sure :lol:

I noted it, remember? You also said it makes it boring waiting for the reveal, so I'm making sure you don't get bored. ;)

There's an obvious RB out there asking for you to pick him, and then there's HIM. So why get on my sizeable pigtits?

:lol: Ignore the sheep, with Nedved in your side this round you should be sorting out your back 5 if you ask me.

So why did you even bring it up, if it's so obvious :lol:? It's not like I lack CMs and DMs in my team, I already have 3.

The man up front in that formation will be an eyesore, I think. I would rather go with the eyesore at the back if I were you. Voters will pay less attention to him.
 
Feck, I'm forgetting to put my mind games hat on. You should definitely go with Samaras, Viva - Righetti will be the number one laughing stock of the entire draft. No doubt.
 
Don't you laugh! I might actually play him over Righetti eventually! He did gave Barca's defense including precious picks Puyol and Dani Alves some horrible moments.

I'd be scared if he'd come running at me looking like this:

Why would Righetti be seen as a laughing stock? Was he really that bad or something?
 
pick sent. I think we will get one, and have the other blocked.
 
Sneaky. So you use me and my team to make him aware of who you want? I feel used now, still nervous as hell though.

I'm not sure the smirking menace of a boy got noticed, otherwise giving up on shoring up the defence would be for nothing.

Obvious enough or should I fall back to defence?

And if I get both... how the feck am I getting a keeper? It's doing my fecking head in, I tell you.

Why will he be any laughing stock? Obviously he's not draft material but that bloke is not half bad.. With a proper defensive line next to him and with another midfielder like Modric to cover for them they could actually be solid.

Get him a hair cut and he may pass for a certain striker of ours.

I've no idea who you're second pick is, but the one you're worried about probably fits better in your team than in mine, so I don't mind if you go for him. Still two more rounds for keepers, though I hope that Aldo has something mean planned for the managers who hoped to get a keeper in the last 2 rounds :lol:.

Not sure if I should be worried or you are just being your usual shit self at deciphering images

I'll keep it as my smirk throughout the tourno if I get him!
 
Someone hard working that is.. Or a simple Defensive one.
Modric's defensive cover is immense, you should look at Madrid, he never stops running and he's awareness and positioning are top notch. He's not a defensive midfielder, but he doesn't necessarily need one next to him.

He is absolutely fine but there's no fecking chance you can protect a defence with two Modrics. Samaras may actually become your best defender if that is the case.

I'm just writing stuff to keep you entertained, and while you're making fun of me, you're at least not making me nervous :lol:.

Hehe, read it again, mate - read it again.
