Guys,
Thanks you all for good words about Fantasy Holland. Though Rain ( and early departure of India ) did had its impact on our enthusiasm.
Anyway…in couple of weeks ICC Champions Trophy is starting and there is another chance to participate in Fantasy leage.
So here is your chance to give some suggestions.. Few suggestions that I got in PMs are like..
No restriction at all on who you pick. Just pick any Eleven guy from any team.
Make a team of eleven by picking one player from each team. There are 12 teams in ICC trophy ,so you can ignore one team.
Same as 1 but you must have certain minimum number of bowlers,batsmen & allrounders.
Allow 2 Trupm player instead of one.
So…please show your creativity and give soem ideas or your comment on above suggestions.
One player from each team will result in huge difference between Saby and Bitter :D (j/k Bitter, don't get any bitter now, and yo Saby don't get too high.......... j/k).
how bout only a limited number of aussie players allowed...
cuz sum one mite jus go for:
hayden, punter, martyn, mcgrath, gillespie, lee
and theyre sure to be rite up der...rite??
how bout 3 allrounders(keeper included)...and 4 bat...4 bowlers??? or max 4 allrounders, and max of 6 batsmen, and max 6 bowlers...i meen in a combination thats adds up to elevn players???
Captain1, dont worry i am not too high. This is not the first time i won, kyun f&b :D
Two trumps and number 3 are good ideas but I do not agree with one player from each team. I suggest that we should impost a restriction of at least 4-5 nations represnted in one fantasy team.
Same as 1 but you must have certain minimum number of bowlers,batsmen & allrounders.
plus every team should be allowed to have 2 reserve guys.
e.g
1 - 11 ( active team)
reserve num 1
reserve num 2
In case of some injury to playing eleven reserve one would be used
in case of 2nd reserve 2nd wud be used
if you have more then 2 injured players i say you better work on your scouting skills :)
in perfect scenario we will go with playing eleven and discrad the reserves.
it is extra work but would make things interesting.

OK to Reserve but he comes into action ONLY if one of the other player is INJURED and not bc he is NOT selected.

I agree.
I remember Ehsan bhai brought this issue before. Only reason I couldnot do it because it could take lot of time on my part. But now I am willing to do it. These will be conditions
Replacement will be only allowed if a player is injured.
Replacement player has to be of same type. i.e a bowler for a bowler or a batsman for a batsman. If we dont do then they might voilate the basic rule of having a certain number of a particular type of player and it wil be unjust to other guys. This means everyone will have to nominate 4 replacesment player each of type bowler,batsman,allrounder and wicket keeper.
Replacement will not be automatic.You will have to PM me to accomodate this request.
1- one player from each team, lets select 12 players this time just to add to the work of f&b
2- select 2 trump players
3- 5 batsmen, 2 allrounder, 1 keeper, 4 bowlers (all of different teams ofcourse)
4- consider the following point system
runs: 1 point per run (u can add some bonus points for a 50 or 100)
wickets: 20 per wicket (u can add bonus points for hattricks, 5 wicket haul etc)
catch/stump: 5 points each
run-out: i dont know if it deserves any points since some dismissals may involve more than one fielder (but if we can award 20 to the bowler and 5 to the fielder for a catch-out then why not 5 points each to those involved in run-outs)
5- injuries or other reasons that keep any player out of the game(s) should not be replaced since its all the part of the game
I like the idea of one reserve player for each position. However I don´t like the idea of having every player from a different team. Nobody knows the USA players for example and it would be like picking numbers in a lottery. But a maximum of 2 players from 1 team is ok.
This would leave the option of having a 5th batsman, a 5th bowler or a 2nd allrounder in the team, which should be limited to 11 players.
I addition 1 reserve batsman, 1 reserve bowler, 1 reserve allrounder and 1 reserve wicketkeeper could be included. Those reserve players should ONLY come into play when a member of the "core" team gets injured. And then it should be like bowler for bowler, batsman for batsman, etc.
^ Umer's post looks quite reasonable apart from the fact that I am in favour of two trumps.
The main point of discussion remains the number of teams a person can choose his team from. IMO minimum of 4 teams should be presented in the squad with a maximum of three players per team.
I agree to what most of you are saying above but I disagree on every item too. :D
Why put a limit on countries? If I want all my players from Australia or USA, then it's my risk and my team. What purpose is served by putting a ration on each team?. It's not like we are trying to be fair to all teams by a quota system.
I am still confused on 'reserves'. Are we going to select a reserve while we submit our team or can we pick a reserve after one of the players becomes injured?. I think it should be after a player becomes injured. And the new player gets counted ONLY after he starts playing in the team. In other words his past performances won;t be retroactive.
And ONE trump. There is ONLY one trump in any game. Why two? and if two why not eleven?
1 reserve player to be nominated but will only count if a regular player is injured.

Faisal bhai,
only Issue that I see with this approach is that what is that 1 reserve player is batsmen and the guy who got injured is a bowler. In that case it may break the basic rule of having certain number of bowler,batsmen and Allrounder. Thats why I think Umers ideas is good which says
