English Premier League VIII | Round 13

[Chewie]

You did have him but then I took over your team

 

[Varun]

Captain : Alastair Cook
Coach : Michael Vaughan

 

[riz7khan12]

I usually always choose the one and only Mark Richardson, but he declined the offer to concentrate on his career in the media. So went for a local man with previous international experience captaining England.

 

[Varun]

Gautam Gambhir/Michael Lumb
Chris Gayle
Alastair Cook
Vikram Solanki
Nick Compton/Andrew Gale/Cameron White
Rikki Clarke/Steven Smith
Geraint Jones
Johan Botha
Lasith Malinga/Ajantha Mendis
Liam Plunkett
Chris Wood

Lol, I sort of have a diverse squad.

Stephen Parry is my last pick.

[Chewie]

Captain: Jonathan Trott
Coach: Gary Kirsten

Gary Kirsten is coaching Gloucester

 

[AkshayS]

Okay John Wright then.

 

[Chewie]

For the playoffs, it'll likely be the top 4 teams going through to semifinals, then preliminary finals, and then a grand final.

Chewie added 14 Minutes and 18 Seconds later...

Pitch type to be selected by the home side. No prizemoney in this tournament. Tomorrow I will hopefully make all the ratings and start putting them into the sim. Thursday I will finish putting them in and starting testing them for reliable results. First matches should hopefully be this weekend. I may get distracted due to being on holidays, but I hope to finish this by the 23rd. I'm leaving on that date anyway so if it isn't finished there'll be a hiatus for the christmas/new year period.

 

[Sartaj]

I guess there will be no trading window before the season begins.

 

[Chewie]

I've already said that the trading window is open now...

 

[CG123]

Unless anyone wants to trade me any decent English players, I'm more than happy with my squad ATM.

 

[BKB1991]

You should be very happy with your squad.

Mine looks like a decent team without any particular superstars so we are hoping all the players chip in.
