Why didn't you block Batistuta?
Cause I gambled that he'd be a big draw and people would block each other over him. Hence why I brought effenberg as an upgrade. Now please give me a decent player..
The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft

Landa for Boniek...
Landa for Boniek...
@Skizzo how is that a fair trade per your criteria? I didn't need or want a winger. I had only 1 full back. Now I have 0 full backs and 1 winger. Don't see how that is fair per your criteria. Not complaining. Just curious.
Breitner Effenberg
Hagi
looking good, thats fine.

TBH, you got lucky. EAP asked me earlier today and I showed to him how Batistuta was 100% the guy he should have gone for in all three rounds.
He didn't because he assumed he was blocked. So did harms earlier. The more people thought like that the easier he would have been to pick.
Will be interesting how many tried him, I suspect he didn't get more than three attempts, if that.

Just use hamrin as your 12 th man.. As long as you avoid a sheep that is
Basically it couldn't end up with you having a surplus of one position. One trade was blocked because it left the team with two right backs. In your case, you ended up with a position you didn't have. You still have time to get your full backs, and not use your winger. Whereas someone else would have nothing to do with two right backs.
woohoo - didn't loose anyone
That does not make sense though. If nm does not get another winger, one winger is as useless to him as an extra right back to someone
But he has plenty of time to find another winger. If he had two right backs he would have no way of getting rid of the spare one.
We are not supposed to know or care about what you want. Annah couldn't get a second RW, but you had none so it was a legit trade.

but it is sufficiently early for him to choose a picking strategy for the rest of the rounds. so more fair than two right-backs and makes total sense
I tried being all nice and shit and I got myself a Landa
Throughout the whole 3 stages...no one went for Batistuta.
But then you are practically forcing him to abandon certain formations like diamond. Like if you strand someone with 2 strikers n force them to play 442.
Heck you can give someone 3 CBS since they can play 352
His choice whether he does get another winger. As it turns out, had he traded Pirlo he would be jolly good.
Or he can ignore the winger completely, and still draft towards a diamond.
Well, that was wild.
Not clear to me who got who and lost who, but by the looks of it Annah should be laughing. As expected, be it said - Landa was the greatest asset anyone could have in this round.

@Skizzo could we have the the complete list of protects/trade attempts
There you go @Edgar Allan Pillow , you would now have Baggio-Batistuta
Thank feck he didn't listen to you! And stop helping everyone ffs; EAP seems to have plenty of time to do his own thinking. Feels like half of us are playing against you as well.
Round 5 criteria comes at worst possible time. One player I was hoping to sneak through will definitely get blocked here. Damn.
And that's the mark of a good player. @Cutch went for a double whammy there: Pupi AND disrupting an emerging favourite. Hats off.
Nah, he is not helping me. I sent him a PM when we were awaiting results. Picks already made and sent by then.
Yeah ill type it up now.
Not to mention blocking someone else from getting Puskas... All in one move
This round was fecking AMAZING!!!!!!!!
He only asked after submitting his third, out of interest when Viva asked me for my "spreadsheet". He was probably the easiest to work out as his bargaining chips were awesome players so you quickly cut down to a handful of options and Batistuta seemed to me the most exposed by a mile.
It's pretty obvious this wasn't a round to have various convos on.
Never ever be nice in a draft. Gets you nowhere, I know that from experience
I just read through the whole thing, and it was bloody exciting!!
Really glad with the switches here, losing Rio is a bitter blow but I was afraid I got Landa for Nedved and Ciro is a fantastic CB.
And scholes for Ancelotti, I love it. Ancelotti wasn't bad but Scholes gives me much more to work with.
Scholes Nedved Figo. Any striker would thrive with that support

What crappy said. However, it's your game and I'll abide by it. Do think I got kinda skrewed though.
@Cutch did you protect Nilton Santos in the first round?
He protected Nilton in all three rounds and if I'm not mistaken, no one even tried to go for Charlton
