The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft

[Theon]

Aye it's actually really close and if someone like Cutch nabbed one of the goat #10's then it's anyone's game.

 

[Kazi]

Interesting to see what #10s are still out there. You can't all have got one each without any blocks.

All right sent. No one laugh when the results come out.

Looking forward to waking up to the next criteria. It's my favourite part of the day.

I'm not looking forward to the manager event at all...

There will be a "surprise" (maybe two!) during the drafting rounds, so try not to get too attached to all your players

[MDFC Manager]

Interesting to see the teams taking shape now

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Cutch is probably the biggest winner in that round, although almost everybody did well out of it. NM's team is looking incredible so far. Puskas up front with Platini and Pirlo providing the service is as good as it gets.

 

[antohan]

Annahnomoss - Guardiola, Garrincha, Landa, "Sheep missing"

The sheep committee is considering whether Annah deserves a homage brainfart sheep, i.e. one with less than 100 caps.

Will keep you posted.

 

[kps88]

Do we not get to know Annah's invalid pick? Was looking forward to that

Thought i added it...edited it in now.

 

[antohan]

Is that Dieeeeeeego-Ohohohoh @Annahnomoss?

Spoiler

No, it's Kristine Lilly

 

[antohan]

@Annahnomoss was on the hunt for a left winger.

He tried Cristiano.

He tried Stoichkov.

He got

[antohan]

@Skizzo, probably best to clarify if the player must have got on the pitch or could be an unused sub.

D'oh

 

[kps88]

FFS. I just went through all the finals thinking the criteria stated that the player must have been carded. Found zero possible combinations. Came on here to tell Skizzo what a shit criteria it was.

@Skizzo @Balu How do the double legged UEFA Cup finals work? Can we only pick one of the legs? Does losing side mean the team that lost the cup overall or it goes by each of the legs?

Whichever team lost the final overall.

 

[fcbforever]

Nobody went for Zidane? Really?

 

[Stobzilla]

Nobody went for Zidane? Really?

What part of no names aren't you people understanding ?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Yay, no sheep for me! Bet anto's disappointed

 

[Kazi]

MJJ and EAP with some good third round picks.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

@fcbforever delete that shit man.

 

[antohan]

Yay, no sheep for me! Bet anto's disappointed

I see what you did there: "it's no longer about whether I get more sheep but carrying the ones I have". Desailly, bloody hell... I had Maynor Figueroa lined up for you, so that's double-lucky.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Ballsy pick there by MJJ. Xavi at 3rd pick is just .

What's with European cup finals and Skizzo . Hate trawling through the finals but yeah there is a better chance to pick overlooked underappreciated gems, so I ultimately don't mind.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Difficult to decide who had pick of the round. Good picks by a few.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

What part of no names aren't you people understanding ?

Tbh, that is really a surprise. I expect at least 3 to go for him. In fact I was surprised at Bobby C getting picked before him!

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

@Skizzo where's this managers event you were hinting at?

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

Difficult to decide who had pick of the round. Good picks by a few.

I guess that if I had to rate I would've gone with something like this:

Stobzilla - M. Laudrup
Cutch - B. Charlton
MJJ - Xavi
Joga Bonito - Kohler
Edgar Allan Pillow - Desailly
VivaJanuzaj - Figo
MDFC Manager - Vieira
NoPace - Chumpitaz*
NM - Pirlo
KPS88 - Cannavaro
BorisDeLaFora - Shevchenko
Harms - Alonso
Raees - Schweinsteiger
Kazi - Cech
Sajeev - R. Marquez

*Not too familiar with him so I put him in the middle

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

I do think that would have been my top 3 too. Figo, Cannavaro, Desailly or Vieira could displace Xavi though through matter of preference.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Who is this Landa Annah picked up? First search for Landa footballer in googles comes up with Leire Landa

Spoiler: Leire Landa

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

Yeah I guess that's fair apart from Cannavaro who I feel should be rated below that bunch. Maybe should be above Pirlo though

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Puskas up front with Platini and Pirlo providing the service is as good as it gets.

Pirlo like Tiki-taka is known for a specific style of play. Play him in other formations and it'll take a lot more convincing than usual, imo.

 

[antohan]

I guess that if I had to rate I would've gone with something like this:

Stobzilla - M. Laudrup
Cutch - B. Charlton
MJJ - Xavi
Joga Bonito - Kohler
Edgar Allan Pillow - Desailly
VivaJanuzaj - Figo
MDFC Manager - Vieira
NoPace - Chumpitaz*
NM - Pirlo
KPS88 - Cannavaro
BorisDeLaFora - Shevchenko
Harms - Alonso
Raees - Schweinsteiger
Kazi - Cech
Sajeev - R. Marquez

*Not too familiar with him so I put him in the middle

Ranking like this is a bit silly, it's ultimately all about fit. And feck a duck, what does Schweini have to do to get properly rated? Great pick, you can stick him in virtually any midfield. I'd have him right behind Figo there. And bring Xavi down to that region. Kohler, Desailly and Figo are all better picks.
