The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

antohan said:
Oh, don't get me wrong, I have preferred ones, but from the off I list ten players for each positon and relace the ones gone with new ones as we go along. When the quality gap starts being significant or you are scraping the barrel to keep it to ten you know it's time to prioritise that position.

Works pretty well with this format as I just go back to the list and based on the question quickly pluck the top ten options overall to make a decision on. At this stage, however, I do have some I REALLY would like to get. Not particularly concerned about blocks, don't think many want them badly, but the questions may rule them out :(

You could teach Germans efficiency with that approach :lol:.

I came to realize that my team is probably the worst one so far... I need some good hits, and for more people to get sheeps :drool:

Mine is pretty dire at the moment. I'm afraid my midfield will end up very lacklustre since I have to use one of Redouane/Miller...

What screws it up a bit is when you spend the entire thing ignoring the man in the hole because you want Guardiola... then don't get him. Then you go back to the hole and find there's only a few and only really one you want left. Thus, poisoned chalice. It's like chasing the pretty girl all night and once she crushes your dreams your mates have all left with good fodder and there's only the fat bint propping up the bar left.

:lol: Pol blocking Guardiola while Cutch forgot about him being eligible really was one of those 'wtf'-draft moments. You made a huge step in this round though, both are perfect for your team, imo. Still, I would be worried about the goalkeeper problem, Aldo gave all those warnings for a reason, I'm sure of it ;).
 
Pick sent.

Risked it. I have just calculated that two people could potentially feck me here. - Chester or Tito... let's see

Oi, you deciphered the smirking boy? Was it the non-Yank version that did it?

I have 14 keepers I would be absolutely fine with, no way I would prioritise a keeper over the last great CM/#10 in my shortlists. Eager to see the next question to make up my mind on what's next. If a keeper can't at all be picked in the final question then it should have been a turn 8 (or 7) warning, not 9. Now, if keepers can be picked but I get blocked all the way to Taibi, so be it, my call/fault absolutely.

Suppose more accurately it's like you and a mate being out and both fancying a girl. The mate though then wrongly assumes she's underage (ineligible) and loses interest. You chat her up all night filling her full of drink, at five to one another mate tries to steal her off you, then at the end when you're all in the taxi she reveals she already has a boyfriend so none of us get her.

I was explaining the nightmare of the poisoned chalice. Your account of actual real-life events is more accurate though :lol:

I always found "I have a boyfriend" to be a challenge, even if it rarely ended up positively for me. This was far more abrupt. I would just tweak it to being on the taxi, feeling her up and finding out she is a bloke.
