Okay, that is the state of the teams after the recent draft.

  • Currently, The Kandy Lions have 14 players therefore they have a full list.
  • SA Figjams have 13 players with room for one more.
  • Crusaders have 10 players and need one more to have an eleven.
  • Magpies have nine players and need two more for an eleven.

Some players are also missing characteristics from their profiles. Boncer34 need to choose which hand he bats with.

Diamond Joe Quimby must decide between Left Arm Orthodox Spin or Left Arm Wrist-Spin.

Neither the Lions nor the Crusaders have a wicketkeeper. The Lions will have to change one of their players into a keeper while the Crusaders can also change a player type or try to recruit a new keeper.

Basically, we are short three players at the moment so no game can start until three more players can be found. Overall, the competition is short 10 players.

We have a number of options here which I have mentioned in the Season Five Draft thread. I am willing to start a pre-season draft wheich the delisted non-posters go into are each club they need players can pick who they want. Those player can be used as "fillers" so to speak until new members show interest in this competition. The only downside to that, is that none of them post so that wouldn't help posting levels at all. However, it is a quick fix and the competition would be able to start very soon.

Another option is to use famous players as "fillers" until new players come along. We could use past or present players in the teams that are short and wait for new players to come along. This option has the same problem as the first method as it doesn't help increase posting levels.

The third option is that we wait a while for new players to come along. There are still a few more things to sort out and at an estimate, the practice game/pre-season comp won't be happening until Wilbix gets back and that isn't for another week.

Anyone who has thoughts, feel free to add them.

A Season Five Squads thread will be posted in the near future once squads are settled.

I thought Figjams had a full compliment ?

No, it turned out that Guru was delisted from the Figjams. I didn't know and assumed he was playing with you guys.

I'm pretty sure the sim doesn't distinguish between different kinds of left-arm spinners.

Well, you can't be both.

OK, but it will have no effect on the competition. The sim only recognizes three types of spinners: off-spin, leg-spin, and left-arm spin.
 
Re: Season Five Squads/Discussion

I think we all tell our mates to come join, and until then we wait.

Delist and Famous fillers will just kill it.

Okay, fair enough.

The whole problem is that there is no guarantee that they will stay. This comp needs people that are willing to stick around and help this competition grow but there are only a select few that are willing to do that.

The draft we just had went pretty well and we now have some new fresh faces in this comp which is good to see. Hopefully they will all stay and make the fantasy cup a lot better.

Our best chance would be to advertise on other sites. The thread on BigFooty has already generated some discussion and there are already a few that have come across from there to play here.

At the moment, we are slowly improving the BigCricket Fantasy Cup but there is a long way to go.
 
Re: Season Five Squads/Discussion

Alright, so what are we going to do?

Are we going to wait a bit for some newer players or do we just add some non-posting players to the squads until new players arrive?
