English Premier League VIII | Round 13

[Sartaj]

Probably 3 massive pools () for batsmen,allrounders and bowlers.

 

[CG123]

Will we be allowed any amount of players from each pool?
Or will you say e.g. 3 Bat, 2 AR, and 3 Bwls?

 

[Sartaj]

Also,i'm considering allowing teams to play up to 5 overseas players (instead of the earlier proposed 4) in a match like in the NZPL as most of the domestic players are unknown to some of us and we're expected to produce some high quality cricket.

Your thoughts on this?

Its totally up to you.
You can go for any combination.

 

[AkshayS]

yeap, 5 is just perfect for any team.
It will help us to maintain team balance as well as playing local players.

10 teams * seven DOM players = 70 DOM players, which is quite a few, and that isn't even including the bench.

I would probably prefer if it was five, because that will allow us to find a better balance to our team.

Also England don't really have that many great international players, even some of those 10 icons I'd struggle to say were great players.

 

[Sartaj]

With a lot of vCash riding on this,there will be no injuries due to obvious reasons.
So,a 8-7 combo of local and overseas players respectively in a squad is what i have in mind ATM.

 

[AkshayS]

It will work I think.
Since knowledge about so many domestic teams is rare, also not too many great players.
I think 8-7 would be right.

 

[Sartaj]

This will enable us to shorten the list of local players to 85,if not less.

 

[CG123]

So just 15 man squads?

 

[AkshayS]

This will enable us to shorten the list of local players to 85,if not less.

for me atleast, i don't wanna have much england players because I don't trust their consistency except a few.

 

[Sartaj]

Yeah,this will be a relatively short tournament with just 48 matches.

 

[CG123]

Short is not good, b/c then there is a chance of big upsets.

 

[riz7khan12]

probably could extend it a bit more.

 

[AkshayS]

You should start thinking about the plan structure for Season-2 also, because the tournament is short.
Will we have to spend another 7 million for next season?

 

[Sartaj]

It all depends on how the first season goes.
