You should perhaps try and figure out your starting line ups for next season. Make two lists, your od line up and your 4d line up. From there you should be able to identify any holes in your squad, and what kind of player you'll be after in the draft.
Yeah thats good thinking, thanks nib.:)

The Somerset 'You're Going To Be Dropped Next Season' Award

Well, Warwickshire have a 'best player one, Somerset are starting a new system

Each week, we award the people who performed the worst points on a 3-2-1 basis. (3 being the worst, 1 being the, erm, best of the worst)

Whoever finishes the year with the most votes gets dropped and traded.:D Also, since some people will be worse then these players but not 'win' becuase they dont play as many games, they get the 'Bench' award. They are put in the draft.


Thoughts?:D

Changes to award

After seeing Nibblets version, ive decided to change my own structure. Its basically nibblets in reverse. (e.g 5-4-3-2-1 x 10 for 4d and x 7 for OD and so on, except for worst player.)

Also the award name has been changed to the 'You're A Pathetic Player And You're Going To Be Dropped Next Season Award' :D

Haha and what makes you think people will want to trade for the "worst" player :lol: - Unless he becomes so famous that he will bring in millions for the club ;)
