KP retiring from limited overs cricket won't affect his rating this season.

KP retiring from limited overs cricket won't affect his rating this season.

Because he's been sucking at ODI cricket since 2008.

Update #4​

A few changes I thought I would to your attention:

- Finally got a new EPL logo done. Thanks to assofty:

Might modify it slightly later on but for now, it'll do.

- With Durham Dynamos being retired as per Callum's request, we need a new team to replace it. So the new side will be called the Northampton Tigers, managed by The Author, who also managed to make this chill logo:

- The number of teams will stay at 8. I've had a few people express interest in joining the EPL if it ever goes back to 10 teams so it shouldn't be a problem to fill those positions if and when it happens.
- The auction has been confirmed for June 11th (Monday). Auctions rules will be posted on June 4 to give everyone ample time to read them. Auction list has been up for a while now but if you've missed it here it is:

- Injuries: No. I figure everyone would like to have their best players ready to play without fear of them being injured. So I've scrapped the idea.

 

[BKB1991]

Would actually like the idea. I know it may be harsh for their best players to miss out due to injuries, but its realistic and theres a reason why we have an 18 man squad.

 

[Sartaj]

Like the new EPL logo.

 

[harrisb]

The 'Aston Martin' English Premier League. Hmm... does the winner walk away with one?

Yeah, the logo looks good. And some bargains to be had in the auction as well if you don't get outbid. Should be fun.

 

[Iridium]

The 'Aston Martin' English Premier League. Hmm... does the winner walk away with one?

Aston Martin was the perfect sponsor. I love Aston Martin's and they're British. Win win. And no, you don't win one if you win the EPL . If I had one to offer, I'd be keeping it for myself

 

[Aislabie]

And some bargains to be had in the auction as well if you don't get outbid.

Obvious statement is obvious.

But yeah, thee are some interesting prices in there, great work Iri

 

[Iridium]

Prices allocation took me about 10 mins. I could have spent more time on it but I thought there were pretty good.

Gonna start working on the auction SGs.

 

[harrisb]

Any update on my new logo Iri?

 

[Iridium]

Any update on my new logo Iri?

I put a request with assofty but he seems to be busy. Might ask KBC.

 

[Iridium]

Having problems with social groups atm. Hopefully this gets resolved soon or it could delay the auction.

 

[CG123]

I only had one of the ten most expensive players, and three of the most expensive 31. Rather interesting considering how much I dominated the last three seasons.

 

[Iridium]

Managed to resolve the social group issue. Seems it doesn't like it if you put a '-' in the title.

 

[Iridium]

Social groups are done. Just gotta wait now.
