Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2019

[Teuton]

Roelof van der Merwe.

Based on what i just read, he will be classed as an allrounder (in your 'any' slot).

so you have 1 final pick for your 'bowler' slot

 

[anil1405]

Pieter Seelaar.

 

[anil1405]

Dutch and the Irish are set to play a minimum of 10 T20Is each this quarter (plus a few more based on how far they advance in the qualifiers), so hope they fetch enough points to help me overtake pfc.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I noticed this which is why I went Dockrell and C00per.

Felt slightly bad just picking players from thesw countries so wanted to give Stanlake some love.

 

[Teuton]

Yeah i would have thought Stanlake was a long way back based on his 2018/19 form

 

[Teuton]

Thanks all, great stuff. The spreadsheet has been updated https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...kCufdwlf0kKMMxJvRllEUjOK10Q/edit?usp=drivesdk

Good luck for Q4.

 

[NUFAN]

Im pretty confident William Stanlake makes our T20I team vs Sri Lanka.

With the increase of T20Is from lets be honest, minnow nations, perhaps only runs vs. a certain tier should count?

Im all for a global game, but i dont feel as though the purpose of the game is to locate a random batsman from Chile who are playing in a 9 match series vs. Oman or something.

 

[Teuton]

Yeah he could do. T20 selection is hard to predict.

I'm still not sure how best to handle the low ranked nations. A number of us streamed the Scots and Dutch this qtr since they have that qualifying tournament. Those 2 teams do have ODI status too, so that could be an eligibility rule to avoid anomalies. I doubt if many would go in the main draft next year due to expected volume of cricket. But I may well be wrong.

 

[mr_mister]

I was gonna suggest removing t20s since that's everyone least favourite format anyway but I know that's pretty drastic. And also the WC is next year so thatl be fun


But yeah looks like people will have to read up more on minnows if they want to win!

 

[Teuton]

anil has squeezed into the lead on the back of a load of Dutch points:

I'm also starting think about next year and am looking for interest. I will do a pre-sign up in this thread now so if you are interested in going around again in 2020 post it here and start researching. The new thread should come up next week with the draft after that.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah sure I'll do this.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah would like to play again

 

[anil1405]

In.

 

[Teuton]

The thread for 2020 is up. The 3 of you above have been put straight into the participants list as requested.

 

[NUFAN]

Ive commented in the 2020 thread, keen to play.

Btw, yeah cool, I have Marnus, totally forgot. Shakibs saga was not great. I screwed up my keeper all year and Stanlake wasnt the absolute best choice. I also had way too much faith in Bravo.

 

[Teuton]

Still plenty of spots left in the 2020 thread

 

[Teuton]

The 2020 draft is kicking off soon so if there are any last minute additions please say so now

 

[jimmy101]

Thanks for running this Teuton, but I think I've had my fair share of whoopings throughout these comps to continue :-)
