The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft

Gio can always pick up Andy Allerton: I'm pretty sure he boasted about having played professionally at one point.
 
Actually, if his claim were true and someone had Zico... What are the odds on Andy Allerton starting in a Redcafe draft?

His manager would win the draft easily: Imagine the hordes of scousers signing up in order to rig the polls.

R8P2:

P-Nut - PASS
Gio - FAIL (Already picked)
mazhar - PASS
crappy/Viva - FAIL (Already picked)

Block list:

Garrincha, Ronaldo, Beckenbauer, Taffarel, Shevchenko, Ronaldinho, Sammer, Weah, Zidane, Nedved, Di Stéfano, Rossi, Baresi, Cruyff, Costacurta.
 
I'll be fecked if Zico's surname can be interpreted without fluency in Portuguese.

Moot point anyway, given none of the affected players come on stream till after the round deadline?

"Affected players (i.e. the original ones) rejoin the pool and are available for picking after this round."
 
Come to think of it Zico was never even picked last round wasn't he? 3 rounds straight, this even beats Cruyff not being touched till round 2. :lol:

Cruyff was untouched 4 straight picks (across 2 rounds). Zico ineligible.

Edit: Maybe Cruyff wasn't actually. One full round, though.

Alex Cropley would rejoin the pool after this round.

Plenty asked about Brazilian surnames. Wiki also has some useful tips on naming conventions.

In Artur Antunes Coimbra, Antunes would be a second name and not a surname. His initials would be AC

Edit: Actually scratch that. It can be a first name or a surname so it's a bit weird

It's his mother's surname, which in Brazil takes precedence.

I didn't pick him because of Bergkamp but was astonished no one else picked him up.
 
Happy with my pick. Stain not liking this criteria makes me think a horrible round is coming next to make up for it though!

Next round has great players and it's probably not too difficult :mad:

You might end up picking your own sheep, mind. :devil:
 
If you're thinking of fooking someone up, keep in mind that you get to re-feck-up someone else should your first targeted manager already have been hit.

Just sayin..
 
Well, as pointed out above Artur wasn't eligible. And people not going for Cruyff isn't that surprising given the premise of the round. Three landmines plus collateral damage. If some other mug managed to blow him up, you'd still lose him even if your own version was a safe pick.

Riskiest option, simply put: Six land mines in play (five for Platini).

R9 - Criteria
Round 9 - The Return of the GOATs

1468232803intercontinental1.jpg


As expected, many of you were eager to release GOATs. Now is your chance to sign them up (or get them back!)

Pick two players who played in any given Intercontinental Cup or Club World Championship Final.

One player from each team, state which final it is.

If only one of your picks is successful, you have to keep picking within that game.​

Sheep will be from those games. It may not be useful (i.e. no way we are giving you a great RB because you need one).

Happy hunting!​
