The Ashes Fantasy League

Postby Alviro Patterson » Fri Jul 03, 2015 11:05 pm

Feel free to pick 5 players from the two countries (a mix of the two, or 5 from one country - it's up to you), and two reserve players just incase one of the chosen 5 does not play. The first reserve player picked will come into contention first.


England
