County Fantasy Manager 2013

[backfootpunch]

id be happy to take part sounds interesting

[ianp1970]

Including me there are now 14 posters wanting to play

If we can get to 20 I will happily run 2 divisions, otherwise I will randomly choose 9 participants to play alongside me in one league. The deadline for people to put their names forward is 8pm UK time on March 28th. This will give me the Easter weekend to put things together, with most of the "poster participation" taking place between April 2nd - 8th before the first matches on April 10th.

I will post on here a few snippets of what is to come ...

First of the snippets:

Matchweeks

As there are going to be 10 teams in a division, there will be 18 "Matchweeks" over which County Fantasy Manager will be played. Fixture lists will set teams playing each other home-and-away over both halves of the season.

Fortunately the ECB has managed to organise the LVCC fixtures into a calendar that makes the running of CFM fairly straight-forward to split into two sections. The first half of the CFM season will involve the LVCC fixtures between April 10th - June 15th and the second half between July 8th - September 27th.

A transfer window will take place between Matchweeks 9 and 10.

The LVCC schedule mean that some counties fixtures will fall into more Matchweeks than others: Surrey, Essex, Lancashire, Leicestershire and Worcestershire will have fixtures in 16 of the Matchweeks, whilst Kent will play in all 18. All other counties will feature in 17 of the 18 Matchweeks.

How do Kent play in all 18 matchweeks if they aren't playing in the 1st matchweek?

Okay, i haven't understood how this FL works. So a few queries :

(1) How many players can we pick in Matchweek 1 . Is it 11 like we have for usual County FL's.

(2) Can we transfer players after every matchweek and how many players can be transferred after each match week.

(3)What is the scoring system for batting, bowling and fielding.

Oops!

I calculated the Matchweeks on 10 counties per division, rather than 9

Squads will be 20 players from which managers will pick an eleven for each Matchweek, along with a reserve for each position.

Squads will be something like 7 batsmen, 2 wicket keepers, 4 all rounders and 7 bowlers.

Matchweek elevens will be shaped in one of these formations:

You can change your eleven before each matchweek. Squads will remain the same until the transfer window in June.
