County Fantasy Manager 2016

I have the good fortune to be going on holiday on Thursday so I won't be around to do the update after Matchweek 17.

Matchweek 18, the final round of the CFM season, starts next Tuesday:





Google Docs have been updated already.

Good luck everyone

I've de-selected Scott Borthwick for the final game of the season for being a big w@nker

*modded* off to Surrey son, sooner the better. It'll be interesting to see how improved are your England chances when you're playing 2nd's cricket every other week

I've taken wickets, but not sure if I have any runs

You have enough of each DFM but two of my bowlers went wild after tea and ended up taking 13 wickets between them not enough to win this game but a splendid performance anyway. Sanderson took 8 second innings wickets which is really something.

Update after Matchweek 17:





https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f22lyrmq0F037qqnZx2oLOIyIv-s_5b3R5cgHEWPzR8/edit#gid=1143338888

Due to me being away at then end of the penultimate round of games, and thus not taking the data at that time, there are a couple of errors on the Match scoresheets that I have noticed (eg. Read and Patel of Notts should be DNP rather than 0) but I don't think there is anything that would have affected results or points totals.

If anyone can spot any that do, then please let me know...

I will then do Matchweek 18 tomorrow

[Red Devil]

Thanks Ian

some decent performances that week helped me pick up some good bonus points too.

So RD takes the CFM 2016 title from yours truly with - unless there were some errors in MW18 scoring, please check and let me know - HFTB just claiming third place from Sussex

Thanks everyone for playing and your patience and endurance during the trying data gathering sessions at the start of the season

CFM will return next year, when hopefully the currently borrowed cricketing website will have the sense to leave its formulae unchanged

I thought that there was a maximum of 10 players, so is someone dropping out. Of course at my age I may have dropped period.

Hm.... after week 17 the Follies had 191 points, yet after winning their final game, they finished with 189 points

Looks like the ECB have been at it again
