Just to update on progress, the scoring system is coming together now, so it shouldn't be too long before there's some results up for the matches people have entered so far. It's of great assistance if people can register teams for the trial matches that are up on the site - http://www.planetcricket.org/fantasy-cricket/
If someone's interested, here's a screenshot of the scoring interface -
The team listing at the top there filters the players list down to just the squads of the teams playing in the particular match, and then someone just needs to fill in the scores that the players have got in the match, and then it all gets calculated.
The remaining piece to implement is those calculations - we've made some changes to how we're scoring matches, under the previous system it was only possible for a bowler to get a positive score if they took a wicket - now their economy is taken into account, which makes the spread of scores more balanced between bat and ball.
After that, I'll just need to make the page for doing player substitutions, and then things will be functionally complete, with the work then turning to cleaning up the design of the pages and adding in some of the missing things like overall leaderboards.
Todo list:
Implement database structure
Implement player database
Implement squad system
Implement team selection screen
Implement the back end code for processing team selection
Implement the reserves system
Implement match information screens
Implement match scoring
Polish appearance/add information screens

Here is the first scored game! http://www.planetcricket.org/fantasy-cricket/match.php?id=6
Choosing Kohli as captain seems to have put it over the edge for @Abhas, but a win's a win.
I've also noted that username changes aren't being shown on that page, I'll look into that as well.
But for now, I think I can almost put a tick on 'Implement match scoring'.

The World Cup matches are now up to date - just scored the NZ v England game and @Chewie jumped 400 clear of me in 2nd.

So with all that success, I'm going to check off another part of the todos:
Implement database structure
Implement player database
Implement squad system
Implement team selection screen
Implement the back end code for processing team selection
Implement the reserves system
Implement match information screens
Implement match scoring
Polish appearance/add information screens
Nearly finished.

As I've said a few times now, I can't give an eta because I don't know how long it takes to do something until I've done it.

I've nearly finished work on the reserves system - I'll just need to get the scoring up to date for the World Cup to be able to open that up.
The reserves work as follows:
You pick 5 potential replacement players, it's up to you to decide the mix, but you can only replace players based on the slot they were in, which means you'll have to decide how many of what type of players you have available as replacements - as you could find yourself in a position where you have replacements left, but you don't have one of the right type to replace someone.
As a default, you get 3 replacements per tournament. So you'd need to be tactical about when to make replacements - and you would have to select good options at the beginning.
You'll get the points from your original player up until the match you replace them, and then you'd get the points from your replacement. If your original player was the captain or a bonus player, you don't get that on the replacement.

Other notes:
There's 11 hours left to sign up for the Aus v NZ match! http://www.planetcricket.org/fantasy-cricket/match.php?id=8
South Africa v India has been scored - so see how you did: http://www.planetcricket.org/fantasy-cricket/match.php?id=7
I plan to score the matches that I've missed for the World Cup at some point tomorrow - which would then allow me to open up the reserves for replacements before the next match.
It's approaching the point where I won't need to do everything myself - If you'd like to be on the Fantasy Cricket team, let me know via PM - particularly if you were on the old FC team and would want to continue.
For those who weren't on the FC team previously, use the spreadsheet attached to score the Afghanistan v Sri Lanka game - save the file and include it with your PM - that will help me know who is able to accurately score matches.
