T20 Blast 2024 fantasy league

[Durhamfootman]

Time to start thinking about your teams. With so many of the usual suspects absent or restricted due to international commitments, there may have to be some 'outside of the box' thinking. Then again, with 18 teams to choose from it might be fairly simple, but we get more diverse teams

Nothing strange about the rules or the scoring though

I'm thinking about running a sweep on how many times andy changes his side :halo:

Livingstone and Jacks are both in the England WC squad, of course, so if they feature at all in the Dribble it'll be minimal
