The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter The Stain
- Start date
It's a valid question I would have happily answered when everyone had the benefit of the info.
Comeback of the century is on
Took me a while to remember the guy's name. The red-haired fullback was too good to be a sheep.Bjorn-Tore KvarmeThanks for the Scandiavian sheep!
40m on a player to blow up.
That's me for the draft. Not even gonna deny the meltdown. Replace me

If you pay 5m (insurance), you will get 40 millions back later.
My understanding.
Isn't that before you make a bid? Otherwise not much of insurance after it happens
Very unfortunate that @DavidG especially after the last round and Ronaldo's bid
How many more to go @The Stain @antohan . Hopefully this round is wrapped up faster as there isn't much research to be done.
Agreed. Considering the quality standards set here already it would have been way out of order to make him a sheep. I love that we aren't naming him.
Your last round (you were the only one manager successful for the 2nd pick ) was the sign that everything is still possible for you hopefully
Seriously, though. Yes, there is a possibility that the money is lost. How much have you spent in total? Exactly. Are you doing poorly in the draft? No. C'mon man, pull it together.40m on a player to blow up.

Can be a wind up from anto, there was no official confirmation that it's going to work
Yup. The mine's make it the worst wound to use a cheat card.
People really need to stop taking me seriously FFS.
Good.
I would like to play my retrospective bomb disposal expert card
Are you guys keeping track of the budget? Would have if my bid was lost due to some manager overspending.
At least get the managers do it themselves in the pick submission convo and you can just verify it.
Some of us didn't even bid any money
Well last round 3 cheat cards were used 2 of them unsuccessfully. My take is smaller pool riskier to use cheat card - you see who is going for who but without seeing the value the chances of bidding big and getting block(along with 40m) is big.
There are 7 mines in 51 years - the chance to hit one is roughly 10-15%. Considering the huge pool of great players I'd say it's a better use than to have 20 players to choose from.
My take on it of course.
Did Skizzo/Annah lose their 40m last round bidding on player already picked? Just so that I know in further roundsI'm keeping track of everything
Edit: Apart from collateral lolz
Of course not.Did Skizzo/Annah lose their 40m last round bidding on player already picked? Just so that I know in further rounds
You should count in the collateral too. 7 mine's + 14 collaterals. That's 21 in 51..about 41% strike rate. Not really worth it imo, if probability of things out of your control is that high.
The mines should have been placed on the multiple winners and specific years they won it IMO
It is. There's no other reason to specify the year, then.
I had initially the same plan as you guys like bidding 40m on Beckenbauer or just failing somehow to go for him in the next round so it's good to know before I made some blunder in next rounds.Oh shit. I thought we lost it.

It was such a retarded and obvious play that I guess we all thought others wouldn't do it.You can calculate the collateral based on other picks and seeing some of the picks it will be around 20ish all things considered, but yeah it was a high risk indeed.
As soon as Joga started asking for the cheat card, which he never used, I knew if he passed everyone would think he got Bekenbauer.
At the end I think we only managed to fool Edgar and of course ourselves that no one else would do it.You can calculate the collateral based on other picks and seeing some of the picks it will be around 20ish all things considered, but yeah it was a high risk indeed.

Same here.

My initial thoughts were to use the Cheat card, but I knew I would not be awake at 4am to do it.
It was obvious to me that it would be a card heavy round, and other may have the same idea. So just went ahead and bid the near max for him. I knew the chances of landing him were slim.
IMO you dodged a bullet there - if he wasn't blocked you'd spent 39m on blocking him so turned out good for you in the end.
You should get an AM or at least someone to help you with the card when needed, as there are many decisions to take on the spot when you decide to use it(depending on how many others have used it in the same round and who bids for who)
Ah, just realized me and @Tuppet are using the same strategy!
Have already asked for AM twice with no response. I can manage.
Doesn't work that way though. Varying degrees of attraction so you could pick the collateral before the bomb man gets picked and blows up.
Also, players only blow up when successfully picked up AND PAID FOR. If they are targeted unsuccessfully they don't.
Don't worry, mate. You and I are both in the same boat regarding the Cheat Card usage.

We enjoyed watching your clever stratagems. Thanks for the entertainment.
There's a masterful play from this round that went terribly wrong btw.
