Another Idea:

How about letting software select a random team for you if you have missed selecting a team for a game? It will keep those people interested in FC till end who normally lose interest because of missing couple of games knowing that they cant catch up.

Now these assignments will be TOTALLY RANDOM without any human interaction but still keeping intact the rule of 2 batsmen, 2 bowlers, 1 keeper and 2 all-rounder.

what do u guys say?

Update:
Users can now select (pre-game) a “computer generated team” for any game if they have not entered the team already. Off course they can modify the team if they want to

You will get this button ONLY if you have not already selected the team (and not if you are revisiting to update)

Good idea. :k:

Its here…its here…! First of all thanks to @Howzat and @waleedhbk for taking on the data management task and making life easy for me

Site Address: FunFantasyCricket.com

I’d suggest that you go to the site, register yourself and start selecting teams for games as there are lots of games to select teams for. If I were you, I’d select team for all the games and then make adjustments (if needed) as the tournament progresses on as I do not want to miss entry for any game and left far behind.

To Register: Go to FunFantasyCricket.com and click “My Teams” from top navigation bar and follow “If you are not registered yet, click here” link

PS: Since some sections of the software are re-coded, you might run into some error/glitches. Please report any such issues in this thread (with screen capture?) so we can release a fix.

Just an opinion and suggestion: I think there should be some points, both negative and positive, for SR and ER, as ODI is limited overs game and SR as well as ER matters as much as runs and wkts. For instance, when it comes to SR, 100 in 150 balls can make a team lose the match while 70 in 40 balls can make a team win a match. Similarly, when it comes to ER, 10 overs for 25 runs could make a team win a match while 10 overs for 80 runs could make a team lose a match.

My input on how to do calculation that can be fed in program (if it is acceptable):

As for reference: Make 250 runs in 300 balls (50 overs) as target that comes to 5 runs per over, It translates to SR of 83 and ER of 5.

Thus, batsmen scoring at SR below 80 and bowlers conceding more than 5 per over (ER over 5) should be penalized. Similarly, batsmen scoring faster than SR of 80 and bowlers conceding less than 5 an over should be awarded.

SR can be incorporated easily with batting points (both award and penalty).

Bowling points should be such that it incorporates ER with or without wickets (both award and penalty).

For instance:

Batting points: (runs scored) x (SR divided by 80).

(Penalty would be only if there are points scored, as minimum would be zero).

Bowling points: Wkts taken points + ER points

Where ER points (could be negative) = (5 – ER) multiplied by 20

Re: Fantasy Cricket for World Cup 2015

Saleem bhai good idea not sure if I have enough time to implement. Let me see if I can somehow incorporate Strike Rate (for batsmen) and Economy Rate (for bowlers)

Decent 6chora thanks. Brother, if you want to, just put the equation I have put down in program, and I think that would do the trick. If you want to, you can change the equation or reference points for SR and ER to your liking.

Actually, giving some thought I realised that with Pakistani team, they might use part-time bowlers (true for some other teams too), and thus it would be unfair to treat them as regular bowlers. Since they could concede lots of runs I am modifying equation for ER points, so that effect could be minimised. No big change, but modification in some factors is required, as in equation I increased ER to 6 and multiplying factor goes down from 20 to 10.

Thus, using equations I have put down, here are the effects of taking SR and ER into account when calculating batting and bowling points.

Batting points: (runs scored) x (SR divided by 80).
Bowling points: Wkts taken points + ER points
Where ER points = (6 – ER) multiplied by 10

Batting:
Player A made 45 runs in 90 balls … thus SR =50
Player B made 45 runs in 55 balls … thus SR =81
Player C made 45 runs in 30 balls … thus SR =150

If SR is not taken into account than:
Batting point of player A = player B = player C= 45 points

With SR taken into account:
Batting points: (runs scored) x (SR divided by 80).

Player A: (45) x (50 divided by 80) ~ 28 points
Player B: (45) x (81 divided by 80) ~ 46 points
Player C: (45) x (150 divided by 80) ~ 84points

Bowling:
Player A took 2 wkts in 10 overs, conceded 65 runs … thus ER = 6.5
Player B took 2 wkts in 10 overs, conceded 50 runs … thus ER = 5
Player C took 2 wkts in 10 overs, conceded 43 runs … thus ER = 4.3

If ER is not taken into account:
Bowling points for Player A = Player B = Player C = 2 wkts = 40 pts

With ER taken into account:
ER points = (6 – ER) multiplied by 10

ER points Player A= (6 – 6.5) x 10 = - 5
ER points Player B ER = (6 - 5) x 10 = 10
ER points Player C = (6 – 4.3) x 10 = 17

Total Bowling points: Wkts taken points + ER points

Player A: 40 + (-5) = 35 points
Player B: 40 + (10) = 50 points
Player C: 40 + (17) = 57 points

Bowling points could be negative and could be positive with/without taking wkts.

For instance:
If Player D took 0 wkts in 10 overs conceding 70 runs then ER = 7
ER points = (6 – 7) x 10 = -10
Player D total bowling points = 0 + (-10) = - 10 points

But if player E took 0 wkts in 10 overs conceding 40 runs then ER = 4
ER = (6 – 4) x 10 = 20
Thus for Player E total bowling points = 0 + (20) = 20 points

Although FC team will keep eye on substitutes in WC but please report any substitute here if missing from squads.

Thanks

And please remove Ishant and Hafeez from the list

Nasir & Mohit included in the list.

I have mentioned (OUT OF WC) against Junaid, Hafeez (Pakistan) Ishant (India) and Naraine (West Indies). You guys can remove their names from your team and add new players.

I think Narain replacement is still left ?
