The Fourth RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter The Stain
- Start date
Volante in Brazil is a defensive midfielder. They're called steering wheel because they're the ones that start the attack (control the direction of the attack). In the rest of South America volante means any midfielder, not just the one sitting in front of defense
The problem I guess is in Brazil Cerezo is a DM and indeed controls the direction of the attack.
For us in the River Plate it's a midfielder other than the DM as our DMs can't control jackshit.
Chester decided just to "forget" about his formation so that no one will cast a vote against him
Not really.
Volante is a midfielder, you can have volante de marca (the sort you describe) or volante de creación (a more creative type with less defensive input ala Pogba). If used without extension it is assumed they are balanced in their contribution like Herrera, that's why I referred to #8.
Edit: seeing as it is a pt.wiki and Brazilian player I'd go with Peyroteo's definition.
Looks weak. Ronaldo would make fun of the high defensive line. He seems to have a good team so will be fun to see how he lines up, making it bad took effort.Chester decided just to "forget" about his formation so that no one will cast a vote against him

Cheers lads. I did see the term volante on the Google Translate but the steering wheel thing just cracked me up when I first read it, as I'm a simpleton.
Cheers Edgar. A destroyer type fits in with what you require in that role.
Just realised the feck off dad legend is a part of the draft community!
I'm loving it so far, the only problem is that this is way too addictive
Join the club.
You are fine mate. You still haven't signed up for the next draft. (Which you should!)https://www.redcafe.net/threads/next-draft-idea-discussion.403961/page-76#post-20571502
I think I'm going to pass on that one since I am full of exams in the next few weeks. But from now on I'll definitely join in often!
Good priorities! Good luck with the exams.
Thanks

I see Haan-Risjbergen for the central defence

@Pat_Mustard
A short description badly translated from Portuguese and Brazilian websites. He comes across as a tough (definitely dirty by today's standards) tackling and very physical defensive midfielder. Excellent workrate and not afraid to intimidate opponents. He fits the requirements here perfectly. All I need for him is do the dirty job and provide backup to Junior when we have possession.
Edi Wilson José dos Santos (Dinho)
Won: 3 Libertadores, 2 Copas do Brasil and 2 Brazilian Championships
He's known as the "Bandit of Pampas" and is considered as one of Gremio's best players. He was technically good can pass short distances accurately with occasional long pass springing open the opposition defence. His playing style is often described as "manly" which is just polite version of 'thug', I presume.
In an radio interview he revealed the secret to cause pain to his opponents. Black boot with aluminum locks...Still not enough that he sharpened them, Ffs! There is a story that he also had the world's shortest wedding. 37 mins. During the party the mayor pointed out something funny and he took it as a affront, elbowing the mayor straight to the hospital He's been credited with inventing the term "sickle cart" a move that rips off the opponent's opponent's legs. Today he actually owns a MMA academy and is into politics. Totally badass.

Savage!So what's the verdict on Chester? Does he get eliminated if he doesn't submit? Or vote based on harms attempt?
Admittedly one of the weakest strikers in the draft, I feel like Jardel would massively benefit from those around him and be hugely successful in my squad. His positioning and finishing was amazing at his peak, and with the penetration on both sides and schiaffino through the middle, I think he does well for my side.
There are so many amazing midfield 2s and 3s, I love my own with makelele and Edwards being as complimentary a midfield 2 as you can get, but the keane vieira gullit one makes me a little bit scared if I'm being honest. They win every midfield battle in this draft.

Well, in fairness, last time he was around he asked why people were posting teamsheets and was told he didn't have to.
It is entirely possible he just decided to wait for everything to be sorted rather than faff around here.
He was my 2nd choice for the club round. I picked Marseille and had Kh Forster followed by Tresor as my top 2 picks.
Surely vote based on harms' attempt.
Jardel
What a player he was. Him scoring 7 goals for Porto is one of my first footballing memories and this game below was one of the best individual perfomances I ever saw in person, I was right behind the goal for the first one:
I was there for this winner in the last minute too
You just needed to put it on his head and it was a goal. I used to imitate his celebration when I was little, probably looked like an idiot
He was my first choice for the club round but Edgar fecked us both over by getting Marseille IIRC. I ended up with Hierro for free so all's well that ends well.
With two wingers and two attacking full backs, you can't knock him in terms of tactical fit at least.
If we're posting videos Such a powerful and talented player
Such a powerful and talented playerStill got no idea who to vote for. I've got 1 team pegged but the other 3 are a nightmare
Doubters like you are at fault for the current Brexit/Trump situation
Yeah I had Forster/Tresor/Amoros with Amoros on the left and Krol inside if I couldn't secure a CB. At the end was pretty happy with Godin of course so it turned better for me as well.

How dare you I was a solid trump and Brexit voter. Bite
t the end was pretty happy with Godin of course so it turned better for me as well.
Ffs, talk about rubbing it in. You've just decided my first 2 votes for the elimination
I'm here, feck you people are impatient. Deadline is 10PM, afaik.
That's the point really. Bossis was treated as second choice, as was Tresor, while everyone wanted Forster/Vogts as outside CBs waiting for a Beckenbauer/Sammer windfall.
It was really odd watching the German love-in. @Balu would have been proud. In the midst of all that Borussia M'gladbach blockfest someone just went Inter-Bergomi and got him in P2. Similar with @Gio picking Baresi for 12M unchallenged while EAP blew up Sammer for 20M.
It's as if people have left Italians behind along with their zona mista hard ons and now have gone all kraut back 5.

You got Forster at the end. Or you mean sweeper in the round after? Don't think you were in for Godin or Hierro.I thought Sheva won't be on a mine, as what were the chances of being twice in a row, I guess you thought the same for Sammer.
On my useless phone, can't get either SMT or footballuser to work at the moment, so would appreciate some help.
Lineup is as follows:
Zoff
Back four: Vogts, Rijsbergen, Ondruš, Facchetti.
Arrow on Facchetti.
Defensive midfielders: Zito, Haan.
Offensive midfielder: Rivera.
Right winger: Lato. Cuts inside.
Left winger: Boniek. Drifts across.
Striker: Altafini.

With his goalscoring record, he'd have been our Larsson had that move not fallen through due to the work permit issue in 1996.
Precisely the flawed logic we set out to address. If randomised, they are independent events so the probability is the same as any other player. Since sheep shouldn't just be dumb luck but rewards for flawed logic we stuck them both on a mine.

I'll be honest, this is one of the better attacks I've ever put together in a draft.
I wanted to build a replica of the Glory Days Real Madrid team and at least the attack ended up near perfect (Oh, if only I had Messi for the Kubala role!)
- Top draw wingers with pace, trickery and goal scoring ability.
- World class playmakers in Bobby Charlton and Laszlo Kubala. Both are in free roles and are comfortable drifting out wide too. Charlton orchestrating play and Kubala supporting the attach. Juicy!
- And Denis Law reprises his link-up with Bobby C. With such talent all around him, I'm sure this offence will be unstoppable.
It was ingenious alright. I think you or The Stain said to someone that he'll be ok with the bombs as long as he doesn't pick Sheva and I did that literally in the next pick
I stuck up for you while that crafty fecker was trying to have you kicked out! Consider this reparations for winding you up with GIFs and memes yesterday.
