@Moby @oneniltothearsenal @crappycraperson @VivaJanuzaj

Let's kill this round off. The next one has potential for hours and hours of research.

Or just pick the glaringly obvious ones.

Glad you noticed. You have to create hope first if you are going to kill it.

Good. Not great. But good.

Suspect I could have done better, but what the hell.

Cogs in the machinery, as they say - and as the fecker himself would say too.

Meh, given your most recent non-sheep, it was never going to be easy. I had a tough time finding a pair as well given that you, Joga, and Enigma all conflicted with me. Not only that, but Keizer only played his football with Ajax and the Netherlands, making things even more difficult.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Indeed. We weren't in a grand pool for landing easy top players.

Could have played it better, that being said - but feck it. Landed a top player and a very useful one - happy enough.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Then again, I will be kicking myself...a little bit if someone didn't go for a certain player here.

Round 7 - Doing the badges

Pick a player who managed a club side he played for.
​

interim/caretaker manager stints count?

Nope, only full appointments. Fully appointed player managers are fine.

Sheep picked on the same basis. All managers getting a sheep will get the same one and will HAVE to play it R1.

This should put the fear of God into you:

Spoiler

Just kidding..

There will be no special event this round.

Good luck!​

 

[The Stain]

yup

 

[Moby]

Nesta (39m)

what

 

[antohan]

what

Didn't want to lose the money.

Actually, when I came up with the 40M limit and 1M increments I expected a lot more of this 40/39 conundrums.

 

[Moby]

You want this man to be on your side.

 

[Chesterlestreet]

@Downcast

Brilliant.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

im probably the worst user of power cards ever....used cheat card just to be blown up, protect card had a noob tactic of protect and pick, obviously it didnt work and before this round i decided crappy and viva are more likely going for Davids then pnut so put a shithead card on them, of course they didnt touch Davids but pnut did

 

[Chesterlestreet]

I have to say the last round was too feckin' easy, though - @The Stain and @antohan.

Being able to pick NT team mates made it a cake walk for some managers.

Not that I'm bitter or anything.

In fact, I'm...non-bitter, but only since I'm drinking bitter for the first time in this draft. So far it's been the odd can of lager or finger of spirits after work (which hasn't really worked, since I've passed before decent drinking hours).

As far as I'm concerned, the draft starts now.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

@oneniltothearsenal I knew we'll be trippeing each other out Glad we both avoided a sheep!

That's right. Gave this to Gio I suppose. Real brain fart was Zanetti, missed harms having Figo.

Such a bad round even wasted a card :/

Back to form, way to go Chester!

Don't worry you are not the only one.

I put a shithead on Aldo since I was convinced he will go for Nesta and zanetti ( redondo never played him with duh )

That was the point. You need to consider the use of cards in the home stretch. Especially the supercards.

 

[crappycraperson]

That was what I initially thought of.

I just wanted Zanetti badly, knew Gio would go all in on Nesta. Still can't believe I missed harms having Figo otherwise I would have easily bid 30+ on Zanetti.

Cards are for pussies. I'm so hard I don't even send birthday cards to my mum.

This is such a set up for some rude response. I shall use the pass card.

You guys need to play more mind games.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Tuppet and Onenil win the last round imo.

 

[antohan]

You guys need to play more mind games.

Boring fecks being all nice and encouraging. "Hang on there!", "See, I told you your luck would change!"...

feck off.

We need to get some bitchfest power cards out there, not this vanilla set.

 

[Skizzo]

Tuppet and Onenil win the last round imo.

@Downcast didn't do too badly for himself either.

But if an underwhelming round for us, although could have been worse.

I'll take that into consideration.

 

[Moby]

anto is pissed that people arent pissing each other off

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Mind games are for pussies.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

the quality of players in this round is insane.....
