The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft

Are we allowed to do that?

I should have pretended to pass this round. :angel:
Yes. As long as you do it before deadline for P1. Unless you have already made your pick of course.
 
Pelé and Platini for free deserve to be mentioned.
There a plenty of good moves. Off the top of my head just add Messi/Maldini/Xavi/Matthäus R1 and Maradona uncontested (not even protected ffs).

Not to mention Platini in pick 2 the last round, Cal picking up great deals for 1,2m and also Best @24.

The sheepless teams are looking great and more thematic/complete but there are plenty of rounds that we(and others that have sheep) can possibly catch up.
 
:lol: So much efforts to get rid of him. Come on, there are other teams far stronger than me. You should concentrate on the no sheep teams imo. It would be an affront to you even if a single team gets by without a sheep.
I have no say on people getting sheep. We set questions and you do the rest. If some people have no sheep it's your doing, not ours.

Trying to force sheep situation is likely going to give more sheep to the sheepherders.

Swaps are very difficult to manage. Like in auction, we'd find top players going for cheap if there is no need in that position. It's very difficult to ensure an even value trade.
I meant player snatching. Only one willing party needed.

Of course you can catch up. Only 4 players so far. Time to start thinking about how to mess with the others soon.
 
What about the Bonus round? Is it like the other rounds?
 
Yes. As long as you do it before deadline for P1. Unless you have already made your pick of course.
Nah, once PASS is played there should be no way back. Otherwise Cal? could have passed, waited for everyone to pick and then announce he wasn't passing after all.

We made an exception because it was the first PASS and @Downcast didn't know it would be announced on the thread.

We shouldn't announce it at all, just say the manager PASSED. Cal? could have left a few guessing here actually.

Fair points, well made.
 
The wound hasnt even closed yet...
And if I hadn't matched you on Di Stefano, you'd be sitting pretty with him and Scirea right now. :drool:

Or, alternatively that could be me. :(
Are we allowed to do that?

A rare moment of leniency from the Stalin and Anto.
 
19 minutes left until the round ends. Whoever' the 1 that needs to submit their pick should do so soon.

Wanted the team around Puskas and Di Stefano hence went all out for him. Shame that didn't happen.

All is forgiven after this round though!

What a fecking team you would have had right now if everything went to plan.
 
What happens if we use our shitehead the next round but they use the pass card? Do they avoid the shitehead card then?
Erm... obviously. Except when you see him pass you would now he used the pass card as he couldn't pick a player.

when can you use the pass card btw? 1 hrs before deadline of the first pick of the current round like other cards or?
 
3 minutes to go! At risk of picking up my first sheep here I feel.

No one went with Baresi or Cruyff in R1? :lol:

It's weird, people are still trying the "Protect and pick in P2" trick without realising anyone bidding 40M knows the guy was protected. If I'm not wrong (probably am as The Stain does all the admin while I just make up shit) every single Turn 1 protected player has got cock-blocked in the next turn.
 
building a team around Maradona goes perfectly for now, 3 sheeps in a row:cool:
