Provisional player list now available: https://fantasycricket.telegraph.co.uk/ ... r-list.pdf

Now seems to be up and running

[Fantasist]

And there really are some bargains in this

[Jester]

Just about to set up the FISO league - watch this space!

[primitive man]

According to Durham CCC Stokes will play as a batsman v Yorkshire on July 5th. Also Tahir has signed for the first 9 games of Durham's 20/20 campaign.

Hi Guys,

Anyone got a full fixture grid for this, mine only goes up to July for Some reason.

[Edgeways]

I have a basic spreadsheet I've put together but it's on my work computer. Can mail it to you tomorrow if you want.

[Fantasist]

And there really are some bargains in this

Actually, now that I'm trying to assemble my two sides, this isn't as easy as I thought. Bargains below 4 are hard to find, which makes it very difficult to get in one or two of those 'star' players rated at 8, or even 7. My first two drafts see just one player at 3 (so have him in both), with everyone else being valued at 4 or more.

[02bburco]

edgeways that would be great!

Is Ooozzzie's spreadheet ok for you or do you still need mine? Tried to PM it to you earlier, but can't seem to attach it. If you still need it, PM me your email address and I'll send it over tomorrow morning.

[Fantasist]

First decent previews I have seen...

[Bluearmy16]

Cheers for the preview page, might change my teams now. Am I right in thinking all the Aussies overseas don’t arrive for another week or so ( playing in Zimbabwe)

[Ducks Deluxe]

Can anyone find Tahir on the lists?

Thanks

DD...

[Waikikamukau]

Can anyone find Tahir on the lists?

Thanks

DD...

He's not there DD. Nor is Braithwaite, Maclead, and a host of other stars which I'm hoping will be super cheap.

[Ducks Deluxe]

Ahhh ...thank you,Waikika...strange...

DD..

[Rick Spangle]

Tahir is there (might just have been added) - but an 8 rating is too steep for me. I think they are still tweaking it - the "picked by" percentage has only just appeared.

[Ducks Deluxe]

Thanks,Rick...another 8?...grr...

[Ducks Deluxe]

Thanks,Rover...I am so lost at present that I had thought the competition started today...Tuesday! Gives a little more time for the missing players to be listed.

As always for me it takes a week or so to get a sense of who will actually play...At present I am especially struggling with "affordable" batsmen ...

DD...

[Ducks Deluxe]

Just a thought...So many players are graded as all rounders,I wonder if in future there could be the option to pick three and shed a batsman or a bowler? That's hoping that there is a future .

DD...

[Fantasist]

Still no listing for Klinger, Tattersall amongst others

Notts Outlaws squad to face Birmingham Bears: Jake Libby, Chris Nash, Steven Mullaney, Riki Wessels, Harry Gurney, Luke Fletcher, Matt Carter, Samit Patel, Tom Moores (wkt), Dan Christian (c), Ish Sodhi, Billy Root.

Luke Wood has joined Worcestershire on a 28-day loan so is very likely to be in their T20 side.

[Fantasist]

Jake Ball has been made available for Notts Outlaws’ eagerly-awaited first Vitality Blast (T20) match of the summer at home to Birmingham Bears tonight (6.30pm).

The Mansfield-born seamer has been released by the ECB to play at Trent Bridge after he did not feature in England’s IT20 match against India at Old Trafford this evening.

Ball played a key role for Notts in last year’s competition, taking an Outlaws-best 22 wickets at an average of 19.45 in 14 matches.

Revised Notts Outlaws squad to face Birmingham Bears: Jake Libby, Chris Nash, Steven Mullaney, Riki Wessels, Harry Gurney, Luke Fletcher, Matt Carter, Samit Patel, Tom Moores (wkt), Jake Ball, Dan Christian (c), Ish Sodhi, Billy Root.

[Ducks Deluxe]

Thanks.If Ball is in ,which one of the seamers will lose out?

DD.

[Rick Spangle]

Thanks.If Ball is in ,which one of the seamers will lose out?

DD.

I'll be annoyed if it's Carter, only rated 2 but played both warmup games and got a couple of wickets in each. Might need to restructure my whole team unless I can find another 2-er.

[Ducks Deluxe]

Agree,Rick.At present,when so much of this is guesswork,I am finding it pretty hard to identify affordable players who will actually turn out...hmm

DD.

[roverinexile]

Seems to be quite a lot of value in the bowlers, less so in AR and batsmen. Finding it hard to work out a balance or strategy at the moment.

[primitive man]

Still a couple I might be interested in, at the right price, missing from lists (well I couldn't find em):- Banton (batsman - Somerset) and Tatterstall (wk - Yorks)

[Rick Spangle]

Banton, eh? I can almost simultaneously raise your hopes - and dash them again.
He's in the list of wicketkeepers - and rated the mimimum 1 point! - but he's also in the England U19 squad for a 2-day game (being played yesterday and today) and two tests against South Africa starting on the 8th July.

[Ducks Deluxe]

I was hoping against hope that Tattersall would be a cheap batsman,as in the main game! Doesn't seem to be listed even as a keeper....
