The First Redcafe Sheep Draft

I know who he's picking if his hint is real, but I'm just talking a load of crap. Don't believe what I'm telling him. ;)

:D Just sayin..

Anyway it doesn't matter shit to me, I'll be massively surprised if anyone takes my final, but then again, this game has a tendency of surprising me, I think(hope) one of my picks are secured, and the other is 50-50. If I wont get that, I have another 80-20 pick instead.

By the way, I'm gutted Sully didn't leave a pick when he was here a couple of hours ago.. I can't sleep and I want something to entertain me..

I was actually planning on getting Weah - a trio of Weah, Gullit, Donadoni would have been nice together. But he wasn't a real target man, rather someone who could run at defences and the like. I said something about running across the length of the pitch (Weah's goal vs Verona) and the wonder-goals against Bayern, but I decided not to go for him. I would've liked to have Batigol or Vieri, but I couldn't. The striker pool is so deep in this draft. Some brilliant forwards left from all over the world.

I didn't think any of your posts made it blatantly obvious or anything, but you had one where you talked about someone that could wreak havoc in the air alongside Gullit and I thought Vieri was the standout name. Still plenty of quality up front I agree.
 
Everyone saying they think they have a 'steal' in this round is very worrying. I'm expecting a lot of blocks.

I should probably change my pick...
 
FFS ALDO I see you're the last post and all you've posted was that shit!

very satisfied with one pick.. on the fence with the other tbh
 
The last 2 rounds have been brilliant for me. Very lucky though, if someone had blocked one of my picks in this round I might as well have been given an instant sheep.

EDIT: Nooo, Scholl got blocked :( One of my favourite players and criminally underrated a lot of the time. Unlucky Balu
 
Yeah that was pretty unfortunate for Balu.

There were no blocks whatsoever till the last 4-5 entries where anto blocked Cutch and Gio blocked one of Balu's.
 
We probably block each other for the 2nd choice as well now :lol:.
 
I see people were happily giving off 'hints' against last night.

I have 3 sheeps but have not once tried to give a single hint. I could have easily told Stob last round that I was going for 'one of the best english defenders' last round.

Irrespective of the results, as far as I am concerned this is more or less cheating. Each to its own though.

@AldoPaine18 Give me my sheep right back please.
 
I agree with Crappy. This hints part is becoming annoying.

Agree 100% with this. It is the reason I don't read the thread much or post about my picks before I make them
 
To be fair, everything I was "hinting" at Antohan with was a lie. Anyways, won't happen again.
 
I wish I hadn't got a goalkeeper earlier on. This round is a lot harder without that safety net.
 
I don't think hinting can be considered cheating
If you hint at a popular player, it may invite intentional blocks. With 3 round options, this is a reality!
Hinting does not avoid sheeps. In the above round anto & cutch pretty much knew the blocks, yet went ahead.

As long as it is not obvious, I don't see anything wrong.

I appreaciate that you rate Scholl, really, but couldn't you do that while he was playing in my team :lol:.

That is not right. It can be used for mind games but I don't think the line has been followed diligently in this draft.

Anto making it clear which final he was going for is not on, whether or not Cutch went ahead anyway.

Suppose now if Gio and Balu give hints about which player they are going for in the same final? How absurd would that be? I think I would have avoided at least two sheeps if I had hinted about my picks in either round 2 or 3.
