If a player picks a previously picked player don't you then usually say who it is? No?
Either way, not sure whether to be happy or think that I could've possibly researched a bit harder

Yeah I thought this was supposed to happen. Either that or you don't give reasons for why people have failed - unfair advantage 'n all that.

Ugh. Sent again, looking very likely to end up with sheep here.

Note: Dimitar Berbatov has been vetoed as too good to be a sheep (right on the border). If you think any of the listed are too good to be sheep, speak up and if I agree with your reasons that player will be baaed from being picked as a sheep and if already picked, the person who picked that 'sheep' has to pick again.

Round 2

This is the first double pick round.

a) Pick a player who has managed either a club or national team

b) Pick a player who has played under the management of the person picked in a)

Note 1: You get a) as a player not as a manger

Note 2: If you fail with one pick but not the other, you get the player you passed with and any subsequent picks must meet criteria. If noone else meets criteria with the passed pick, you lose the pick and get two sheep which meet the question

Note 3: If one person picks a player in a) and another in b) then both picks are fails

Please send in your answers within 24 hours to cwdrafts@gmail.com

No Giggs chosen. Thought he would be a given. Interesting.

Aw, ****. Really should've gone for Giggs, Law, Dalglish or even Kompany who I was considering for a while. Oh well, I'll take Ramsey I guess, he has upside.

Sent my picks for Round 2.

Usually if one pick is sucesfull in a double round, then you have to pick a player corresponding with that.

I.e If a Player is succesful, then you are limited by him and have to pick a manager who he has played under.

That was what I was getting at in my notes (the exception being if there are no other managers who have played football that they have played under in which case they get two sheep which is a total edge case but I am covering my bases.)
