Those paying attention would have known Annah was going for Stoichkov.
When in doubt, Stoichkov.The Second RedCafe Sheep Draft
- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
When in doubt, Stoichkov.There's 4 on my list right now, and I even missed Romario while researching. Very likely that there are even more hidden ones
Not at all, that was Sajeev's 2nd round pick so I had come to terms with it.
Wait, you know who I got?
Not strictly speaking, just reading beteeen the lines. Probably wrong, but I love this business of having conversations where we both think we are talking about the se thing but we aren't. My favourite was Balu and "poisoned chalice", that was awesome.
I can take a pretty good guess at who Viva got. I'd certainly be happy with his comments if I still had to pick.
I would be surprised if anyone can guess who Viva got.
Still surprised a certain someone didn't get picked in the previous round. He's not available this round but I was 100% certain SOMEONE would have went for him.
This. Maybe a gamble but with the lack of research time and what I want from him I think he'll do the job
Bruce Lee?

How would people feel about Stoijkovic playing from an inside right type of position?
As in, he would begin from an attacking midfield position say 15/20 yards inside the pitch and play from that general area, with Cafu providing the width up the line.
From what I can tell he was always a no, 10 but could also play in central midfield, but will people buy it that he could still perform at his peak level from a position where on a graphic it puts him slightly right sided?

names?
I gave you two great names
There has to be some kind of reason behind it though, Bruce Lee was known for his cross training in different arts but he can't be considered a footballer.
EDIT: Video referees sent me this photage and said 1-0 Harms.
That was a great start into this sheep draft business. Awesome round.
5 in, 4 to go.
A big striker?
Nope
Actually it was right after I've sent my pick, but I guess I still would've passed on them as they don't fit my team well enoughI gave you two great names
It was an obvious pick for Viva, but he wouldn't ask anto's permission to sign him, surely.
Anyway, mindgames...
It was indeed. I thought he was his best pick if he went 4-3-3.
I have a different plan for a striker, plus I was pretty certain he got picked and couldn't afford risking a sheep at this limited round.
Anyway, I'm pleased with my team overall, might not be one of the best here, but it's definitely good.

He's a more flexible 10 than a Hagi. He was quite winger like with his dribbling and when he drifted to the wing.. he actually looked like a winger with his speed and quick changes of direction. I for one wouldn't see a problem.
The best way I can state this is to look at how a certain attacking midfielder played for teams in Spain, England, and Germany. out wide. Same with a certain attacking midfielder for teams in England and Spain.

@mazhar13 don't name unpicked players
Indeed. He'd have no problem whatsoever performing such a role.
Thanks for the reminder. I completely forgot about that. I hope no one else saw those names
Welp...Chester, would you mind censoring the key bits?
Done.
For what it's worth, I like a well built 'christmas tree', it's a great way to include free roaming AMs and it's no problem if a number 10 starts slightly wide as long as he's not forced to provide width in a way a winger would. Dragan certainly can play that role.
only @MJJ left

The Christmas Tree setup needs more direct players, though. Having players who like to receive the ball at the feet is fine if they frequently run at the opposition and disorganise defences. I don't know if Dragan is such a player who'll run at the opposition when receiving the ball. Such a formation will then need to require players taking up attacking and dangerous positions to work.
EDIT: Just watched some clips of him. Yep, he's perfectly fine in the Christmas Tree setup.
Depends how you set up the rest of the team, but yeah, the 2nd AM should be a more direct player, I agree with that.
Waiting for my 'already picked'. Didn't find him on my first flurry of research.
10 p.m. It's always either 10p.m. or a.m. whatever comes first after the 24h/12h periods
So in 1 hour?
Unless MJJ shows up earlier, yes.
Tic toc tic toc.
Dead line!
Results!
