IPL 2017

[wizardoffire]

struggling with this game,
downloaded the app to manage my team at work but thats terrible, the site layout is terrible, Ive changed my power player a couple of times but trying to make transfers, there are no stats unless you go looking elsewhere.
Maybe you lot find it better but in my eyes its poorly designed compared to other fantasy games

[ooozzzie]

I am on my laptop, its fine on there, although the Live element is not as good as previous years. I don't Like using Apps for changing teams much so know what you mean.

The lack of stats is extremely annoying & something they had in previous seasons, it's odd they've excluded it this season. The only reason I'm keeping up is cos I'm following the games intently otherwise I probably wouldn't bother.

[ooozzzie]

Stats tab....is on lap top version......http://www.iplt20.com/stats/2017

Woakes and Billings both doing well today.

Sorry I meant points, all it gives you (unless I'm blind) is total points for the game broken down into batting/bowling/fielding/bonus but it doesn't tell you who earned what points, it's only in the live section during the game.

[ooozzzie]

Correct no there isn't, when you edit the team you can't see a great deal of info on who has done what so far, TFC obviously has Wickets Runs and Total Points and percentage picked. It was definitely there last year, that was one thing that was working, but they obviously sacked the whole website crew from last years disaster and started with a new lot I reckon. hhhh

KXIP first three bowlers look the same on BBC Live score....Sharma, Sharma, Sharma....

[ooozzzie]

Yes common as muck!

Had to laugh they had Morgan on live mic during the game and asked him about Rashid Khan and he just said "don't know never faced him" no thats right they asked about the wrong player because Mohammad Nabi also Afghanistan and playing in his first game for Sunrisers, clean bowled him for a duck!! So he never did face Khan. He didn't mention that bit though.

Oh he is in batting now.

[getfunky]

lol Nabi's clean bowled him again!

Did you see Samson's bit of fielding earlier? that was something else

[ooozzzie]

Unbelievable!!! Nabi first ball...........again.

Yes to save the six, spectacular.

I can't recall too many t20 games where the momentum has swung backwards & forwards as often as in this game. Really entertaining

[ooozzzie]

So Roy is dropped this time and it would seem only played last game because Finch lost his kit. He was guzumped in the batting order by a rookie who was terrible. And all in all Lions had a bad day, problem made worse by Roy dropping a sitter when Rana was on 9 but finished on 53. So the fact Roy was put in completely at the wrong time scoring 14 off 7 was unfortunately overshadowed by what was a catastrophic error. So he might be on the sidelines for a while, we will see, he needs to hide Finches kit again

not the best day to load up on KKR & RCB batsmen

[The Catman]

not the best day to load up on KKR & RCB batsmen

Captain Kohli did well

again

for a strong batting line up RCB sure are sturggling

[The Catman]

Very true Funky, loading up on RCB was a great idea in theory....

[ooozzzie]

Loaded up with DD'S and only scored 45....then following game, not that bad a side, but only scored 23!!! Dropped like a stone.

[The Catman]

Ha-ha....I loaded up on DD too to similar disappointing effect. Decided to save a transfer yesterday and not bring Warner in, but at least captained Stokes today

[getfunky]

I knew I'd eventually forget about the early starts at the weekend, first time I've forgotten to makes changes so no captain & probably no chance of catching the leader now. Darn it.

[cric]

I have been following the RCB for AB Devellier and Chris Gayle and also for Virat Kholi. This season is going very well without any tragedy. My favorite team is also RCB and in icc champions trophy 2017 my favorite teams are South Africa an India. I have write an article on prediction for champions trophy final on https://goo.gl/RG1eHw .you can read my article if your likes will give me appreciation.

Group phase finished and first qualifier is tomorrow, Tuesday.

What is your make up of your initial squad for the knockout stage? I'm torn between going all in with 5+6 MI and RSP 1st game and then taking out the winners for to accommadate the next 2 games or have a 3-3-3-2 squad range to cover all teams, first time i've done IPL.

[ooozzzie]

I don't think there is a best way, trying to pluck out the best scorers along the route is the best way, so probably picking your best side, and then replacing the ones that lose is probably the best way to do that. It is actually quite easy to get 7 players in all games.
If you go 5 and 6 to start with you will have to use more transfers early
If you go 3 3 3 2 then less until the final I am going to go 4 3 2 2 and hope the team with 4 lose But it won't make a massive difference to be fair.

[superam]

But by replacing your losers from the 1st game means you'll be taking out players that will be guaranteed to play before the ones you leave for the final, therein having to bring them back in in the 3rd game. Was trying to manufacture 11 players for final but short of getting lucky i don't think that's possible.

[ooozzzie]

Yes sorry I meant winners, not losers Hope the team you have the most of, lose. Total Madness. As they could play 3 games. After all that I completely messed up. Never mind.

[The Catman]

All over for another year - congrats to HC Heroes for winning the FISO League and finishing an impressive 1229th oa....(out of 750,000+ I think)

[ooozzzie]

Yes well done HC Heroes and not a bad effort either Catman. Lost a bit of interest this year, the commentators really get on my nerves, always have done, but I started switching off this year. But 750,000 entries is very good and that is starting about 4 days before, free of course. TFC has just over 11,000 entries. Hard to compare but still interesting to compare numbers.

thats pretty decent but then again Indians and cricket is like Canada and ice hockey and England and football

I gave up a while ago, hated the website, found it poorly designed in my eyes
