I understand but surely the remaining pick should be related to the one they got?
The Fifth Redcafe Sheep Draft

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
That was my understanding.
But that in most cases won’t be possible.. If someone picked X and Y and the other picked X and Z; the only option is Y and Z to be picked together which is again blocked.
It’s not like you have a large pool of players related to pele
thats the risk they took
That's the risk and reward in making that choice. You corner yourself for a high value pick, you pay higher penalty.
not sure why are people surprised, we didnt say anything about being locked to player and in this case that doesnt make sense as most players only have one link.
Was going to bring up the point about what if someone has one relative you’d be stuck.
I'm completely confused now. Do I have my second player already? What criteria should my second pick fit into?

Wait no clue what is happening here. Surely the other lads and me have gone for the same relative to Messi, hence he should be blocked as well? I don't see anything in the criteria suggesting we'd be blocked to the player relatives.
See PM
And for those confused/angry folks, read the criteria again
Would have said "FAIL (Dopey), PASS" if managers had their second player
You have no ideaWait no clue what is happening here. Surely the other lads and me have gone for the same relative to Messi, hence he should be blocked as well? I don't see anything in the criteria suggesting we'd be blocked to the player relatives.
So I submit one player or two? Surely if other players got overlapped (even the bums) should be blocked?
Well not everyone went for same relative appearantly.Wait no clue what is happening here. Surely the other lads and me have gone for the same relative to Messi, hence he should be blocked as well? I don't see anything in the criteria suggesting we'd be blocked to the player relatives.
2 sheep in fact. They have to play togetherJust realised getting sheep in this round means I’ve got to play a sheep already
TwoSo I submit one player or two? Surely if other players got overlapped (even the bums) should be blocked?
My understanding is they're not locked into those players, so Pele, his son, and his dad are all blocked, and they go for another family pairing
Perfect start to the draft, right on course to break my sheep record.
You could have chosen Pele's father and Pele's son if you want to
Looks like one of anto's hole in rules idea in play here.
Nobody is disputing that. So their 2nd pick is a free pick? No criteria?

Oh great!
I get it now. Lionel Messi and Pelé, the players, are blocked, and the other player doesn't get picked. Everyone who failed needs to pick a new pair of players.
@Moby @Edgar Allan Pillow I see your point but I don’t think it was the original intention of the draft moderators.
Don't know. I thought they had a free no criteria as 2nd pick....
Maybe. I'm just going by previous draft rules. Considering Anto is in committee, we can expect all sorts of bamboozles
Stop making your own rules
Picks are in again. Mods what are the chances of this turn being done tonight?
Bloody hell guys...
This isn't a locked in a game case whereby there are still about 20 other players. Most are pairs or trios. Pairs would be double blocked but in the case of trios, if stuck with one there would be no remaining partner to pick as rhe other geezer would have picked him. It would be funny for about 5 minutes, much better to be left guessing who passed and who may still be in play.
There was a comms mistake though in that, following the Dopey example, you should have just seen Fail and not who tried for Pelé or Messi. The blocked list was enough.

About 4 left to submit
I’ll wait up a little bit then, got a bit of stuff to do until late afternoon tomorrow so could do with getting my next round of picks in if I fail again.
I am already regretting dropping out, how sad of me
Night! Will pick again morning...
Don’t tell me you’ve gone Saudi Arabia too!!!!!
I actually got those players. Wow
Sorry, was asleep. Sent my pick in.
Well, I'm about to go to sleep soon. I'll make my pick in 9 hours' time.
