Football Heeps! THE REVEAL

davetherave

Oh wow. I looked to clarify with Necro if they had worded it specificly as "Scottish Premier League" or any club who has won the top tier professional football league. Just as well I did, I had submitted Rangers before asking to change my mind which would have made it a tie with Celtic and gotten me no points.

My logic for picking Aberdeen was that, working on the theory that Celtic and Rangers are going to be 1 and 2 in some order. If Celtic are the Sheep and Rangers are 2nd then I might get a handful of points but Rangers might Sheep and I get nothing.
By picking a team that probably isn't going to be the sheep or the peehs I should get at least one point, maybe two if there is another oddball out there that is reading to much into the wording of the question and has come to the same conclusion as me. Turns out there is five of them

Necro

Question 15: Name a player who has won the Ballon D'Or

Big sheep here so not too many points on offer. The 4 for Messi might prove vital mind. Also... you can take the Aussie out of Australia but she will still pick a countryman :pac:

That was my logic with most of the English Premier League questions as well - avoid the two obvious ones, play it safe and stick with the 3rd choice. Should have applied it to Scotland as well

Since teams were randed to start with, maybe Necro should rand a player from Team 1 that went over to Team 2. I feel bad for JGF that now she'll be on the losing team

5 points over 14 quesetions is +0.35 to Team 1.

Can't believe I didn't even get a choice on leaving. I need a new agent

Question 17: Name a player who has been transferred to another club for £80 million or more. (I will be using the sterling cost, not euro)

Of course I couldn't care less about the cost folks, no wrong answers in Heeps :P


Some very big names mentioned here... who do you folks think was the Sheep?

Forget the Bosman ruling. We need a JGF ruling.

Irish Aris

I thought Neymar or Cristiano would be very obvious and went for something that might give me an ace. . .

Necro

It could be a costly ace for Heidi, Neymar bags players 7 points here... how will that shake up our ever changing table?

5 of the top 6 are Team 2, in fairness.

aaronjennings

From top of the table, to getting just 3 points from the last 4 questions

Finishing the game like Leicester finished last season

Question 18: Name a club who has won the English FA Cup more than once

Plenty of scope here but only 6 answers given...

jesus i step away for 20 mins and im in a battle for my first wooden spoon

I have to say i may have got my tactics wrong here

quickbeam

Had no idea on this, so happy I got a correct answer at least.

The only time I’ve stayed this high up the table was when the questions were all about Nicholas Cage
