5 'zeroes' in my squad. I need Nepal to organise some games.

Draft Game - Fantasy Cricket 2024
- Thread starter Teuton
- Start date

The associates are a bit of an X-factor here, I guess. There could be a huge shift in the table if some of them get their act together.
I'm hoping South Africa play a few more games featuring Jansen, Klaasen, and Maharaj. Their recent tour of NZ has been disappointing - they've essentially sent the C team out there.

Once you get more than 2 of those zeroes cleared, you will get a slight worry that the points scored by your 12th and above players are getting wasted. I had the same feeling last years when it happened.

Thinking of this, the way Teuton has drafted the rules of this game is so good. 12-14 not getting points helps the bottom dwellers more than the toppers which is good for the game.

I knew the SA situation hence why I didn't choose any South African players for Q1, only Bedingham interested me but he was picked before I could feel comfortable finding a place for him .I don't expect any of the main Protea players to be released for Q2 though so that could backfire
Is this the Fantasy Cricket Draft version of 'first world problems'?

And can I get humanitarian aid?
Teuton

Mini drafts are a kind of aid

Bro how does Teuton work this out ?
Is it the first 11 players to get points that he only considers in a Q phase , or does he let every player score points and selects the 11 most point scoring players at the end of the Q phase for each team ?
Teuton
International Captain
It's the 11 highest scorers for the quarter that count to your quarterly & final score. The spreadsheet formulas are designed to do this.

Wow, crazy stuff and it was quite a game by the looks of it, Nepal winning by 7 runs ..
Is there a limit to the number of associates you can choose in your squad ?

Associate teams are really poorly marketed , there was no news about the Canada series at all on any popular websites then boom it just came outta nowhere ..Nepal could do with a good social media manager seeing how popular cricket is in their country.

Yeah, assuming they'd even want it, yer Neps would be my shout for next country to gain test status.
Obviously the ICC has designs on America, but Nepal already has a cricketing culture and (so Wiki informs me) the sport vies with football for the most popular in the country.
Obviously close proximity to India a huge leg up too.

There was a video of a Nepal vs another associate match last year where it was a full house stadium and people were watching the match from trees and top of buildings. Cricket is crazy there in Nepal. Their best player ever got jailed for 10 years for rape though, so not sure how good the team is now.
