The Third Redcafe Sheep Draft

The instructions for this round are:
  1. Choose a World Cup penalty shoot out.
  2. Choose one player who scored a penalty and one player who missed a penalty.
  3. If either or both of your players are blocked, you are locked to the same World Cup and any other penalty shoot outs that took place in that tournament.
Means we can pick from Arg v Eng aswell.
 
There is no way we'll block all players pick 2, is it?

What happens if we pick all players that missed but there are still players left to pick that scored? Are we still locked to 98? That would mean we could get a pass on a scorer but then obv get a sheep with pick 3.

Surely not?

I asked the same question on last page. we'll have a free pick on missed and locked on scored in 98.
 
So there is no way for people stuck in 1998 to jump to other WC tournaments is there?
 
Only once there are no eligible picks left will you have an opportunity to choose from another tournament.

This right here is our only hope boys. Make it happen.
 
If all missed or scored players from 98 are exhausted at the end of this round, only then you will be allowed to jump to another WC.

5 players and 11 managers. I wonder what will happen next. Will there be a collective shafting or some vague attempt at working as a team to get a missed pick from another tourney in the 3rd round?
 
Why? There are only 4 players left who missed the penos ,right? Block them all and we get a free pool this round
Free pool only on missed. We can't possibly get all scorers blocked.
So only way to evade sheep is block all missed and hope our scorer will go through.

Surely coordination by PM is not allowed?
 
"You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
attack and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Catch me if you can
Cos' I'm the Caf Draft man
And what you're looking at
Is the master plan
We ain't no hooligans
This ain't a football song
Kermit on my chest
I know we can't go wrong"
 
Submitted. Let's at least get it down fast.

Not that we have a lot of options here...
 
Yeah, same here. It's really impossible to do the "theme" thing in a sheep draft. I tried for a few rounds, but it's pretty much impossible, I reckon. Just trying to avoid sheep now, really, but even that isn't something you can do actively in this round without taking the piss. Down to luck now, pretty much.

Looks like we went down the exact same path in that regard alas. 6 rounds of good drafting down the shitter for both of us!

Aye, it's brutal enough. But that's the game.

Problem with this "good drafting" strategy is that you're very vulnerable to being sheep'ed. By which I mean, you're not likely to be sporting any obvious match winners/vote pullers, so your strength - if there is any - lies in the composition of the team AND in the fact that you're not sheep riddled. Getting even one sheep in your XI is thus potentially very damaging.

Still, it depends on how many sheep the other guy gets, luck of the draw, etc.
 
How many left to go? I'm looking forward to seeing who else gets blocked and who throws their laptop out the window after round 2! :lol:
 
When I hear that music, all I can picture is Matthaus kissing the World Cup and all the goals from the tournament rolling through my head from Baggio, ********, ******* & *****. The first tournament I really took a major interest in growing up. Epic song too!
