Champions League XX - It's time to give the people what they need, not what they want...

[Haarithan]

Wow, I got second in three leagues, APL, AfPL, and WPL...

(I topped the group stage in two of them as well)

Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

I've won my fair share, I'm just spreading the love around atm.

whore

Brilliant

 

[hedger_14]

Where'd half my team go?

And why don't I have my best 4 players? AB, Shiv, Albie and Anderson?

Look at the difference in my team strength with my normal team and new team.

Normal:

1. Brendon McCullum+
2. Sewnarine Chattergoon
3. AB de Villiers*
4. Shiv Chanderpaul
5. Narsingh Deonarine^
6. Kirk Edwards
7. Albie Morkel^
8. Andre Russell^
9. Nathan Hauritz^
10. Sulieman Benn^
11. James Anderson^


New XI:

1. Brendon McCullum+*
2. Phillip Hughes
3. Usman Khawaja
4. Narsingh Deonarine^
5. Sewnarine Chattergoon
6. Kirk Edwards
7. Andre Russell^
8. Rayad Emrit^
9. Nathan Hauritz^
10. Sulieman Benn^
11. Daren Powell^

A huge difference there!!!

So if the squads on the first post are the squads we are using for the tournament, I'm pulling out.

 

[riz7khan12]

yeah i think the original idea of playing 3 overseas players wasn't a good one in the first place, i think we should be allowed to use our full squads with either 4 or 5 overseas players in a lineup and in the case of player clashes either a mutual agreement should be made between the managers or the players home team gets him.

Don't panic I haven't finished the squads. Just working out all the clashes, of which there are a lot. Will hopefully be making an announcement about it all soon.

Will most likely allow four internationals in a line-up.

 

[Chewie]

Just create two groups and try and minimize clashes between the groups as much as possible is what I did

 

[hedger_14]

And it's probably fairer to have 5 Internationals since it disadvantages the nations that don't have as much domestic talent (like West Indies).

 

[mohit_dude10]

You missed out Sehwag, Morkel, Roach and Dhoni in my squad.

Ah i see, I hope you find a fair way for the clashes, these players form the core of my team.

[Chewie]

Shouldn't you do the draft in such a way that those who suffer the most get the first picks?

 

[Chewie]

Looking at the list of available players, I really think that those who need 5 players should pick their first players first. Or make it a bit more staggered than what it is at the moment at least

 

[CremerCurrans]

^ alright will change the draft, everyone hold on for a moment

Changed how does that look?

 

[Chewie]

Yep that looks better. One round for each international would be best but that would take much too long I guess

 

[Chewie]

I can guess which two players are gonna go first...
