The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft

crappycraperson said:
NM also has Pirlo in his team. A player several voters refuse to give any credit unless he is played in a diamond. NM is not totally screwed but he has been put in a difficult spot where either he has to avoid another sheep at all costs so that he can bench Hamrin and play the diamond or bench a player like Pirlo or shoe horn Pirlo into a formation that will see him exit in the first round itself.

I was expecting this round to leave a bad taste in some managers, so I was against it despite the obvious entertainment value. But, I think your argument is flawed. It was obvious we were expecting a surprise round. It's also obvious that we are expecting a legacy player random allocation round too (I think) since we already submitted the names.

In such a scenario, the only thing worse than picking Pirlo was getting a sheep. He nails you down to a tactic which you can't afford in a game where you don't have control over your players. Assuming this round never happened and he got Nani as a legacy player, what then? The problem was more of NM's own making and just exposed by this round.

It is not flawed since I don't think Hamrin should have been vetoed. I am arguing that MJJ's trade should not have been vetoed. You can't pass one and not the other as far as I am concerned.

Anyway, Skizzo wants people to move on so that's what we should do.
 
After conducting some research, I've realised Landa fits in with my philosophy, so I'm happy to have him in my side.
 
I need my pick here to make me happy after the heartbreak of the last round.. Come on @sajeev
 
hey sorry was travelling today and couldn't respond to anything. give me a little time
 
It would be kinda funny if he only sent his pick to Skizzo and now is gone again :lol:
