Sheep Draft Version 2.0

[Somerset]

I'm going to be away for just under a week from tomorrow so perhaps someone who missed out on competing in this draft could temporarily take control of my side and make selections for me from the second attempts for rounds 7 and 8 onwards? First in, first served.

 

[Shri]

About 2 and a half hours left for round 7&8a to be over. Hoping I fail in one question. Got a feeling I ****ed one choice up.

Thought we were getting 2 days to make choices for these rounds? New Years and all that.

 

[Matt79]

Yep. 26 hours left.

You are right.

 

[NUFAN]

About 2 and a half hours left for round 7&8a to be over. Hoping I fail in one question. Got a feeling I ****ed one choice up.

You can make another selection in the next 23 hours or so if you feel as though you've found a better player. Others in the draft have made selections in the past and changed there mind, it's all good.

 

[Somerset]

Remember that I'm looking for someone to temporarily make my selections while I'm away so if you missed out on the draft and want to compete, make sure you indicate so.

Curse you Blakus (especially) and kof98!

Curse you Blakus (especially) and kof98!

I thought that everyone else would go for the saffies who played just before isolation. How was I to know that someone else would also settle for a mediocre first choice .

The sheep possibility for this question are very dubious too, it will pay to get in before round 3.

 

[Matt79]

Now where am I going to get a keeper? (Disagree that he was mediocre btw)

 

[kof98]

There are lots of keepers around for 7b. You just won't get one averaging 20+ with the bat.

 

[NUFAN]

The sheep possibility for this question are very dubious too, it will pay to get in before round 3.

Haha yep. If you get 3 FAILS for this question you are very likely to get a shocker.

Just a reminder to everyone to check the banned players and the current players in the squads.

 

[Jarquis]

I'll settle for my Q7 pick.
