Sorry ian, I didn't realise you had me down as a possible

tbh I'm completely baffled by the whole process, so I won't be taking part I'm afraid. I have sat down and tried to work my way through the rules etc, to see if there is any way I can participate, but I just find myself doing this :panic

sorry!

Come on Durham, have a go!!

As for the list of players, Siddle and John Hastings have signed for county teams, maybe set a base price for these that is fair?

do I have to try and pick all players now?

do I need enough types of squad players in order to have to try and put out a realistic team, or could I field a side with 8 bowlers and 3 wicket keepers in it, if I wanted to?

You have to have 30 players for 1.5 million. You pick which players in the first round that you want to bid for and just say how much you are going to pay for them. Average player cost in squad should be 50k I think each. Once the first round is up all bids are posted, and then round two you can try and outbid for any player judged on the value that the first round player bid. If no higher bid comes then you get the player in round two, if a higher bid comes in then the top bidder in round one gets an opportunity then to go higher, as they retain the right to do so by the initial highest bid.

I think that's how it works! I have bid on 35 odd players so just go for the scattergun approach like me.... :gun

Requirement is a squad of 30, that can be 30 wicketkeepers if you want.

sorry for asking so many questions.... I really am that dim!

I presume that my squad needs to contain players from lots of counties in order to be able to select a full XI each matchweek from the teams that are actually playing

or is that not as important as it seems

probably isn't, now I think about it, because plenty of teams will be playing in each round to not have to worry about any teams (and players) who aren't playing.

I might be wrong, but I have fired out bids all over the place.

The way it works is you set your team first of all then Ian P puts a link to a google docs page where you can edit your team for every game week. He has posted the games that correspond to each game week on page 1 of the thread.

If you don't want to manage anything pick the 11 best players and hope they don't get injured, dropped or international called.... I think that team unchanged will simply recycle every week. For more active people they just click on the google docs list and edit the team.

A few points to be addressed, but firstly thanks DFM for having a go - I promise it is not all that daunting once we get started :)

Last year's managers were the real guinea pigs, and I have tried to make it simpler this time for players and me alike!
