The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft

Well, I have Messi. So can sell about 6 sheeps. :D

You coaxed a MOTM performance out of John fecking Pantsil even without Messi :lol:

We need one day to implement a mercato period in a draft: not auction, just some bids like " I'm ready to offer 2 of my players in order to get Messi. Who is interested?'

Sounds good to me

When Anto mentioned creating some form of avenue for Cal to get his man, I thought that could be a way to do it, even just to test the willingness there - "yeah I'll sacrifice Maldini, Cannavaro and Zlatan for him"

:D Sounds an excellent deal for him IMO
 
I so wanted to use the cheat yesterday, but after a busy day found it difficult to wake at 4am for an hour for this.

Though I like the concept, I get a dislike for time based triggers considering various timezones involved.
I have that problem, unless it is a weekend the R1 deadline falls right in the middle of work for me and I can't be online on caf at that time. Else I would have used the cheat in this round.

Sounds unacceptable and we need to find a solution to it. Sorry to hear that.

Are you not online just now?
 
I wouldn't fancy the admin for this round. 20 picks, 10 or so cards, 7 landmines affecting up to 21 players. Shedload of combinations to sort out there.

Those blowing up may face a lengthy court battle and their money is as good as gone in the meantime. Legal advice is available for 5M.

what does this even mean? lol
I cant use my money in next rounds until i pay 5m penalty? If i do a Wenger and decide not to pay, how long will the transfer ban last?
 
Pretty happy with that at the end :) it was a perfect time to use the cheat card but the mine business scared me away :(
 
it wasnt.
Nah - great pool, great players in it with lot of options you can potentially grab a GOAT on the cheap, but with the mine thing I chickened out. Regardless I got one of my favorite players so pretty happy with this round and still preserved the best card.

Hmm... depends who else I get in the next rounds...
 
What made it so perfect was, that we both chickened out on who we talked about and then we both picked and blocked Lahm while the two original choices went unpicked :lol:.
Yeah, that was epic!

I was thinking along those lines but with a single willing party.

And anto fast asleep not answering PMs.

Good job @The Stain although I'd clarify things to avoid meltdowns:

Easy enough to send your preferences to someone unbiased and they can do it for you. Or you know, get an AM.
 
Zidane is blocked and we don't see BLOCKED (Blew up or collateral) - Zidane

Does it mean 2 players have bided the same amount on him?
 
The rules are clear in that collateral gets blocked so our published blocked list must include them.

Could have avoided the big font and italics, mind.
Not that it concerns me anymore but is it 7 players standing on mines or 7 years (like a multiple winner might have two mines attached to him). Sorry if this question was asked before

You didn't bid on Sheva so no money tied up. @DavidG has spent 40M and those funds are unavailable to him.

In the meantime, Sheva's Ukrainian mob buddies (and P-Nut) are after you and Nedved's and Goofy's relatives are suing you for ALL you are worth. DavidG better not put a foot in France...

You need a lawyer pronto to make it all go away and, in David's case, try get the 40M back from Dortmund, the insurers or whoever.

It's only 5M, all you have to do is post "Good man Anto" on an active thread in the United forum and send us the link (will do as the modern version of communicating through classified ads).
