2025 Ashes Fiso Game, Prizes, Test 5 - Saturday 2100 deadline

Post by Spencer4 »

The 5th Test, Game 5 of....The Ashes, Fiso-style...


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 Saturday January 3, 21.00 GMT. 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 from the previous test 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 two at the conclusion of the 5th Test will win £30, £20 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.

Josh Hazlewood has been ruled out of the first Ashes Test at Perth. Scans reveal a muscle strain.

Captain and pace spearhead Pat Cummins had already been ruled out of the opening match with a back problem.

According to AI here is a list of how many times each player has been picked so far:

Player Number of picks

Mitchell Starc 11
Steve Smith 9
Marnus Labuschagne 6
Harry Brook 6
Ben Stokes 5
Alex Carey 5
Scott Boland 5
Ben Duckett 5
Cameron Green 5
Joe Root 4
Usman Khawaja 4
Mark Wood 3
Gus Atkinson 3
Nathan Lyon 2
Travis Head 3
Jamie Smith 2
Josh Tongue 2

Notes / caveats:

Some users chose a reserve player (3 units), so those are also counted.

There are 29 posts in the thread, so not all 29 may have picked a full six (or different mix), and not every post lists exactly six — some variation.
This is based on a manual count from the thread; there’s a small chance of mis-counting if names are misspelled or abbreviated differently.
