oh how did he forget about u hodge

Id imagine some of the survey lads would be interested in this... As its EPL we might attract people who didn't want to do the IPL due to lack of knowledge of Indian cricket.

well i can help run it if ya like mate, its completely up to u, let me know

Gloucestershire wont be that bad. Murali is signed as their overseas player :P

Its the English players that matter more though.

Guys as the IPL Fantasy League is nearing its final stages and with the EPL Fantasy League scheduled to take place next year I would like to know what type of fantasy leagues would you guys like to have in between.I am thinking of doing a BBL but I want to know others think.

If you have got any suggestions,plz state

Thanks



BTW I am sorry.I know the IPL isnt over yet.But i am bored as I am already out of the league

Apologies to Gregers but I am an impatient bloke.

i would be in, im happy to take part in all fantasy leagues

I know that mate.Any suggestions from your side?

well there really isnt any other leagues to do, i would have said about EPL, but thats gregers thing

How about a Test FL as I had earlier suggested?

shanks one league at a time though

its also ok if we dont have a league running all the time, its ok to take breaks from it

Shanks I've read your pm. Just very very busy at the moment. Will reply at some point this week

Quick bump, just to see how much interest there is in this

im intrested gregers

gregers whenever someone says they are ibtrested, write them down, so you remeber who said they are intrested, and then we can have a pool of people who are intrested:

im intrested

I'm game, could even use my mod privileges to assist in the running.

Reposted with 3 divisions, would you be willing to run one of the leagues sainty?

gregers i already said before that i would be willing to run the south division, if ya still want me to?

More than fine mate!

no essex in the south league

never mind i will have to work some sort of magic with another county

I'm thinking we should each run a league that we are not in

I'm interested, as long as I have Worcs!

IMO it would be easier to run the league you are in, however that is up to you

i assume i wont be runnning a league, if you and saint are already running one, because fists will want to run one wont he....:/

Depends if fists is interested, he does a lot on the site so might not want to run a league

Mat I'm sure you can be Worcs

gregers are the teams gonna be assgined randomly?

otherwise i can see you getting sussex, mat getting worcester, saint getting lecistershire etc...

and i wont get essex

I haven't decided yet CF, think its easiest if people choose but will have to see what other people think

Basic rules/format:

• Max 5 overseas per matchday 11 (Maybe count Irish as non-overseas?)
  
• Minimum 4 under 25s per matchday 11
  
• Starting budget of £1 million
  
• Draft before week 1, same as IPL
  

well if we are getting to choose then can I HAVE ESSEX PLEASE?

Yes if we choose you can have Essex

I am definitely interested, and I would say it would be better if the teams were randomly assigned as there some teams that are clearly "better" than others. And after the IPL I think people will know what to do now and will be more coy in trading players so the better starting sides would have more of an advantage. The other option is to give the weaker sides a greater starting budget but that would become subjective then to who is actually weaker!

Anyway, there is plenty of time to ponder it. No rush to get it started.

Essex boy

cheers gregers

Who would you say the weaker sides are?

Gloucestershire?
Glamorgan?
Northants?
Kent?
Derbyshire?

Out of the ones up there:

Middlesex
Gloucs
Northants
Kent probably
Derbyshire
Glamorgan
Worcs.

Middlesex have Denly now, so that sorts a problem a bit. Mat wants Worcs so not a problem.

What if Gloucs, Glam, Derby, Kent and Northants started with 1.25 million?

Gregers, we'll have a chat via pm if you want any of my input?

I'll pm you tomorrow Sainty mate r.e. ideas

yo if this happening hampshire plz

I'm interested

and IF we are allowed to request a team, somerset please

I havent visited this forum often these days as I am busy but I am still very interested in this and if I am not mistaken I have been picked as the assistant to all the three chief organisers.

And if we are picking teams then I would love Notts or Somerset or Hampshire.

If there is more than 1 person who wants a particular team then I think it should be drawn.

To make it more fair I also think all England contracted players should be added to the Auction.

How would kolpak/eu qualified players work?

Hi all,

I know I said last year I wasn't really interested in an EPL, but at the time I assumed it'd be running alongside the IPL one and I didn't think I had time to commit to two comps.

Count me in. I live in Middlesex, and my closest English ancestors came from Middlesex & Hampshire, so would be interested in those 2 counties, though I wouldn't be upset if I didn't get either.

Pm for Sainty

I think Gregers should be forced to pick KP

i am defo essex im an essex boy

also like i said yesterday would like to run a league if thats possible

I know this isn't the same, but does anyone know if Cricinfo still do their fantasy county cricket game? It was quite fun but I can't find anything about it now.

Are you interested in doing this one Carrot?

Well I'm not sure If fully understand the concept - can you point me in the direction of the rules etc?

The rules are still being finalised but on the whole they will be similar to those used in the Fantasy IPL

im gonna be essex and sign imran tahir

Even after reading the rules I'm not 100% sure what is going on but I'm sure I'll pick it up so I'll give it a go. Living in Hertfordshire, picking a county is tough (when I watch county cricket live it is Middlesex but I am hardly a die-hard supporter). Therefore, I'll take what's given to me or pick what's left.

james foster's captaincy could be very much under pressure
