great round 
The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter The Stain
- Start date
@Invictus I taped over the camera on my notebook, are you tapping my phone too?
to be perfectly honest I'm happy with a player this round. It's a massacre especially with 21 managers in it.
22 teams if we discount Boris.

Yeah. I just need to decide whether to gamble in turn 3 or play it safe. Obviously some big boys are going to slip through here.
Crazy, will be interesting rounds up ahead.
yeah the beauty of the sheep draft you can land a top dog in your last pick as well
or get sheep'd.
Actually, isn't that what happened last sheep draft? You got CR somehow.Good point. I thought my reputation would ensure no one would go with Portugal. But I'm happy enough with this one.
I'm loving it!Can I choose on behalf of Boris in case he does not make the deadline again? Just to keep this ticking....
If he's last to pick i'll remove him from the draft.
It's not important in this draft - we won't get the results earlier or later, that's the point behind the dedicated deadline
If everyone has sent their picks and me or antohan are online; we'll publish the results ASAP.
Edit: I suppose that's tricky with the Power Cards but we'll let you know how many are left to pick/give some time to decide whether to use them.
@Raees @Downcast @BorisDeLeFora @Pat_Mustard @crappycraperson @MJJ still to submit P3.
Deadline 10 PM GMT.
Deadline 10 PM GMT.
How many can i tag at once? Maybe it's 5?
Yeah, I think it's 5 in one post
Yea, it was that world cup penalty question.
After over thinking my first two picks, I just poured some scotch and went with the first country I saw on a map for my third
surely someone can help out boris until he gets online....plenty of free regulars out there.
Just noticed Tuppet is playing
Tuppet is in draft
Not for the time, but for the round...to avoid him getting kicked out of draft or getting a sheep, I meant.
I don't mind picking a country for him as I had 2 in mind and have already submitted mine
You can't have others submitting picks on behalf of absentees in a sheep draft - being absent is a potential factor in the game itself (see the OP).
Only way that's fair is if you appoint someone his official AM (or officially replace him as manager). And - again - what's the point, really. We've got enough managers. If he wants to play, he'll show, as anto said above.

Anyway, N-Ireland, eh? That does surprise me - was pretty sure at least a couple of managers would gamble on that one, and that someone had lucked out in P1.
I thought it might have been overlooked for the first round an then gambled on others thinking it had gon
Do the sheep reflect the quality of available players in the pool btw?
Like for this it's mostly going to be the countries best player that gets picked up. So will it be sheep as in a mediocre player that was the best player in his own country?

I actually gave it big thoughts in R1, but thought you'd be picking it.
I honestly never considered it. What I figured was something like this: Couple of boys go for Chile, couple of boys go for N-Ireland - roughly. So, either both get blocked - or maybe one lucks out and gets a GOAT. But it's a no-go as a gamble at any rate.
Ah, well - I was half right, at least.
The indian lads might need AM's for this.
Yeah I was convinced N.Ireland was one of the first round passes.
Well, I think that would be the natural/fair/not too evil way to go. As you say, the actual picks here will be the best player any given country has to offer.
But as Ed suggests, you can end up with something very sheepy nevertheless. The best players in many countries are seriously underwhelming.
They can outsource it to USA. Make America great again
Wouldn't make a difference if you get the best Chinese or Indian player
Yeah I was thinking more players that would definitely be a hindrance such as some of the other Asian countries.
I'm not bothered either way really just seems best to keep in fitting with the rest of the picks.
Knowing anto, I reckon he'll be looking for proper sheep, one way or the other - that is players people will recognize. Dishing out random "heavy" hitters from obscure football nations probably won't happen. More like players who are a bit shit given the context - but also a bit interesting (which could mean plain comical) in one way or another.
