Was everyone too scared to touch the 70's Dutch players after the Haan disaster? Some lovely combinations there.
The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
was looking at it, but Davids & Seedorf was too good not to take.
there was a german combo i wanted to take too
A very young one? I thought someone might have gone for them as a 2nd round pick, had a nice back-up option in the same game as well.
@Skizzo can you include a list of picked players as well? It's very hard to keep track, and you are the one with the master list.
Not including sheep
NoPace - Liedholm, K. H. Forster, Hugo Sanchez
KPS88 - Dino Zoff, Del Piero, Bergomi
NM - Puskas, Platini, Tardelli
Harms - Hikegkuti, Passarella, Perez
Annahnomoss - Guardiola, Garrincha, Landa
MJJ - Sheep, Sheep, R. Carlos
MDFC Manager - Sheep, Seaman, Veron
Raees - Sheep, Batistuta, A. Cole
Joga Bonito - Sheep, Hierro, Effenberg
Edgar Allan Pillow - Sheep, Scholes, Sheep
VivaJanuzaj - Ancelotti, Ferdinand, Sheep
BorisDeLaFora - Sheep, Cafu, Lucio
Cutch - Sheep, Nilton Santos, Bozsik
Sajeev - Sheep, Seedorf, Davids
Kazi - Sheep, Scirea, Boniek
Stobzilla - Stankovic, Ince, Sheep
Everyone check your players and make sure I have them correct, please
@Skizzo Was that the orientation that @Stobzilla submitted his 2nd pick in, or did you unintentionally (or intentionally?) screw us over? Because we would have made a completely different pick if you put the passed player first...
This is how I honestly feel at the moment with that screwed-up ordering of the 2nd pick:
I didn't intentionally do it one way or the other. In the PM, he said Ince and Veron.I make notes of all the players on a note pad so I can do some of it on my phone throughout the day. I probably just copied it differently when transferring it from the PM, to my notepad, back to here.
@NM is ripping this up. 2 first round picks and one second round one on there.

What? So, by that small mistake, you made us thought that Ince was blocked?! And now we have to get a sheep because of that small mistake?!!
Dear me...now I know how some of you veterans feel...
He has the best picks so far AND no sheep! I just hope the 4th round screws him over
.NM playing this brilliantly.
Holy crap. That is one messed up situation. You're assisting Stobz, right? I didn't realise that you yourself don't even know for sure which of the two picks is blocked and which isn't, because the names can't be published in this special situation. If another 2 player at once round comes up, @Skizzo and/or me will clarify that in the private conversation after the 2nd round results are published. You guys should have asked and not trusted the order of the two to be sure by the way. It's so easy for the gamemaster to feck up such a small detail, after all he has to sort out 16 PMs. Not blaming you or anything, it's just incredibly unlucky, but better safe than sorry next time.
Cutch has a great round but it's NM again who is giving it the big Monty Burns.
Yeah, I'm assisting Stobz, but he's still submitting all of the final picks. I'm just there to help him out.
Lesson learned for next time, for sure. It's still not too bad, though. The sheep should make for an interesting experience in this draft.
@Skizzo you should ask Damien to add your final/criteria posts to threadmarks, it's much easier to navigate for us the for ones that follow the draft.
One midfielder in particular combined with a lot of quality players, pity I bottled it.
Only just saw this game and it looks like great fun. Really amazed at the knowledge you guys have in football - I can imagine myself getting a team of sheep if I had entered. (Except the first round - the first name that came to my head wasn't picked and the 2nd name wasn't picked until the final round!) so hats off to everyone involved.
A lot of mind games going on here as to who to and who not to pick... Thinking of these criterias must be a pain too, so hats off to skizzo as well!

What a bunch of pussies... Can't believe two ended up picking in that 98 game while a half-dozen at the very top of their position went completely untouched.
Sheep on the way.
I really understand how bad my picks were when I saw the results. Horrendous. If I had another try I'd go for Falcao and Passarella surely. I absolutely adore Passarella
@MJJ, I will never argue against the no-names again. How the feck did you get anywhere close to Cafú??????? It was clear as day Boris had him.I don't think you actually get this game. The objective is to draft a team, not to get the most sheep.
I barely have time to research my own picks, so didnt check what the others pick. Have got a busy few days at work
I told you at the beginning, I'm going to make an all time sheep team.
And the problem is with me that you've got so much incredible players, I can't just not pick them. I want them all.
Mmmm... that fullback combo from MJJ is giving me second thoughts, we had set it up considering he wanted Matthäus.
Edit: feck it, it was agreed already so moving on.

Oh good, you are here. Some final thought re: sheep, let's see what you think.
Has anything changed from the list you posted yesterday? I don't think I had any complaints with that.
MJJ making a bid for Cafú, that throws his hat in the ring as a serious E)boue contender.
THE SHEEP COMMITTEE HAS SPOKEN
(not really, but Balu isn't responding and I need to go fishing in 20mins)

Can't believe everyone pussied out, 2010 final goes untouched as well. Some decent second round pairings though.
@VivaJanuzaj won't be missing the movement of Ronaldinho's locks as he twists and turns.

One of @Skizzo's next criteria should be an all Uruguay round with Anto banned from the thread and PM discussions with other managers.
@Stobzilla is a sucker for big powerful defensive setups.
He wanted Verón-Ince, and hits the bulls-eye with:
Cheik Tioté

I can handle that to be fair.

How the fecking feck does one go for Rio fecking ferdinand over Paul fecking Scholes? There are loads of stella CB's out there all similar or better then Rio and you had to go for the choice. Had you chosen Scholes, both would be blocked and we'd been off to different matches (and maybe blocked each other by my luck)

@Edgar Allan Pillow wanted someone out on the flanks, someone who wouldn't be pants...
John Pantsil
Which of course means...
@MJJ gets the cafs favourite Ivorian to fly down the flanks like Cafú would with Bobby Carlos.
