Fiso's Ashes game 2019 - the oval - Hearts wins overall as tyaslevesley comes close !
It'll soon be time for...
The 5th Test, Game 5 of....The Ashes, Fiso-style...
If you've played these before, it's going to be familiar, if not, it'll be easy to pick up.
Choose a team of 6 players, no restrictions on who you can have, but you must keep within the 25 Unit budget. One reserve - see below.
No two teams can be the same, so first in, guarantees his pick. (no edits to posted teams, re-post).
Deadline will be before the toss is made. Thursday 14th August 10.30 BST. Please get your teams in early if possible.
Prices for players will change for each Test. The top 3 scorers will increase by 1 Unit, the bottom 3 will decrease by 1 Unit. If you have a player who goes down in price you have this lower price, if you have a player who goes up in price you have him at the original price you purchased him for.
This overall game will run over all five Test Matches, teams can be changed for each test completely, or kept the same as long as they're unique for each Test.
RULES:
25 Units (max) per 6 player team. PLUS choose one player as a reserve in case any pick doesn't play (however, you must stay within the 25 unit allocation, so if you pick a reserve above 3 points you could have an invalid team).
SCORING:
Runs = 1 point each
Wickets = 25 points each
Catches/Stumping (wicketkeeper) = 10 points each
Nothing for Run-outs
The way I'm going to score this is:
Each Test match there will be points given to the top 15 places:
1st - 100
2nd - 75
3rd - 60
4th - 50
5th - 40
6th - 30
7th - 25
8th - 20
9th - 15
10th - 10
11th - 9
12th - 8
13th - 7
14th - 6
15th - 5
Prizes:
The top three at the conclusion of the 5th Test will win £30, £20 & £10 bets to be placed on anything you like. *To get paid (if these win) you must have either a UK bank account or a paypal account.
4th Test prices:
Any unnamed player is 3

Re: Fiso's Ashes game 2019 - Oh good !!
Excellent to see you back for this Spencer 4! I soo loved it during that awful winter several years ago..
I will certainly enter a team ...half way through medical stuff here but no problem with participation...Even I can understand this one!
May I be the first to select Cook and Tim Murtagh?...England should have grabbed him all of those years ago!.grrr...
Looking forward to this but damned scared about The Ashes!
Best to all,DD.....
