Going for a finals day of the 4 home teams Glos Glam Notts Northants

I'm praying it'll be these four as my teams are loaded with players from these teams & I have hardly any transfers left. Fingers crossed.

well nailed the captaincy in one team but not the team I wanted

Going for a finals day of the 4 home teams Glos Glam Notts Northants

Fixtures updated, working on Olympics events https://goo.gl/vuB0XH

Edit Just checked my scores, whow my top team scored 955 points in one day....jumped up about 400 places I think.

Hope you're right about Glamorgan. Met a group of their fans at the Jordan Clark triple maiden quarter final two years ago, they'd had to fork out unexpectedly for an extra night away but were still cheery and friendly despite their capitulation. Wanted them to do well since then.

[ooozzzie]

Well WLD that's one in the bag....Mind you picking the four home sides isn't like major skillful

[Fantasist]

The run-out of Ryder really turned that game. Whilst he was unlucky, the rest of the Essex batsmen didn't bring their best game tonight, but the Notts bowlers really did well.

Unfortunately, I didn't have Samit or Mullaney, so expect to drop away from the top 40 now, pop pickers. Also two changes to make after this result too.

Edit: Oooh, surprisingly went up two places! I thought making no changes might have harmed my position, but maybe people don't have as many transfers left as I imagined.

I've redoubled my efforts in this competition as I'd taken my eye off the ball with some of my teams just outside the Fiso Top 5.

Hopefully I can do my bit with Chris, Chris, Chris, Terry, Philip, Lawrence and any late surgers so we win the crown again.

Northants looking good to continue the run of home qualifiers.

At 91-7 I'm guessing most teams are looking bare for finals day as Klinger, Howell and Tye don't look like they will be appearing at Edgbaston......

[Bluearmy16]

Yeah and cockbain, couldn't think of a Durham player to go for , but they are looking really sharp tonight!Shame really wanted Klinger to get stuck into them

[The Catman]

Great result for Durham. Happy I brought Stoneman in but pity I captained Klinger.

Still, at least I can take Klinger, Cockbain out for tomorrow's game

[Irani]

Notts hoping Andre Russell joins them for T20 finals day - Would be harsh on Tahir to miss out as Christian is a shoe in. Hales coming in too leaves a great side on paper......

[wizardoffire]

how depressing looking like an all north finals day

[The Catman]

Not depressing at all....

Yor vs Dur
Notts vs Nhants

[Nabby]

I've been saying all along that Durham aren't good enough in T20 and they keep proving me wrong...not least when I brought in a few Glos players on Wednesday as certs for final day only to see them somehow let Durhams creaking batting order post 180 but I have to say with Yorks expecting Root and Bairstow back for finals day surely this time the SF will see their ride come to an end. Having said that Durham are expecting Stokes to return for finals day
A good time to have held a few transfers back with the likes of Hales joining the aforementioned Stokes, Root etc. Could be differentials if anyone up top hasn't used their quota.

!!!!

The Units are in another final. Apologies to those who loaded up on Notts.

[futabudgi]

Congrats to Terry Bullen for the overall win and the collective Fiso crew for another handsome Super League win as well.

[El Tel of Ealing]

Thanks.
I had no idea that a win was possible since I was 5th 400 or so points behind banana.But I had transfers left and sought differentiation by bringing in Dre Russ (even crippled he did the captaincy proud),Rooty(embarassing) and Broady(beyond useless).But I was loaded with Notts and Yorks and had given up hopes of advancing,though Mark Wood and Kleinveldt kept my flag fluttering in the Final.
So chuffed to finally get a result in fantasy cricket after years of trying.
Condolences to banana who I always have a lot of respect for but it would seem the mess he's made of these boards upset the cricketing gods.

[Nabby]

Well played El Tel and commiserations to Nick although I think he did pick up one of the Elite league prizes. I think you take the full Fiso winnings from SL too El Tel, so another oner on top of the 1st place prize.

[kingcurtley]

Well played El Tel!

Andre Russell is a bit of a freak in T20. Great pick.

Great strategy and nice job.

Looking back on mine, I spent too many transfers chasing group stage fixtures for teams that might progress so Glamorgan, Essex, Northants, Middlesex and Warwickshire. Four of those teams got through but three of them didn't reach Finals' Day and only Northants were a success.

Turns out the savvy move was to cash-in on Finals' Day and the weather did you a massive favour as it looked like there might be some reduced overs games. 400 points is a massive and surprising swing, considering the circumstances.
