2026 All Year Fantasy Competition

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cheers Prof. Hope the trip went ok.

[The Professor]

After 6 weeks of fewer than a thousand points scored, we are back with another bumper crop of points this week.

Weekly Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi -278 - The young man shows no sign of slowing down. Sure he had the advantage of playing three games this week, but men twice his age would be very pleased with 148 runs in three IPL games.

2.Simon Harmer - 251 - Back to his old ways as soon as he joins back up with Essex.....and this was him in only third gear. Jumps up 5 places to end his sixth active week 58 points off the Overall Top Ten

3. Jos Buttler - 188 - Banishing his poor World Cup with a bit of good form in the IPL. 78 runs in two IPL games sees him also move up from tenth to 7th overall.

4.Aiden Markram- 137 - Not quite yet showed a huge performance in the IPL, but is quietly grinding away for Lucknow. Some decent scores at decent Strike Rates.

5.Pathum Nissanka - 135 - Had a stinker in his IPL debut with that score of 1 against Lucknow but has then followed that up with two scores in the forties to prove his place in the Delhi XI.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1692 - Just a reminder that we are 14 weeks into 2026 and we have never had anyone other than Vaibhav as our outright leader. A startling stat for a startling player.

2. Aiden Markram - 1387 - Is making second place his stomping ground. Not really threatening first place but a decent gap from third.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1248 - Astoundingly out of the favours of Mumbai as it stands but just about holds onto third place.

4. Saim Ayub - 1201 - Just the solitary PSL game for Ayub this week but his score of 74 is enough to see him overtake the injured Sam Curran into fourth.

5. Sam Curran - 1156 - A decent week for anybody just behind him could see Curran exit the Top 5. Buttler is 171 points away, Nissanka just a smidge over that and Marco Jansen also not far behind.

Ones to Watch

Just two points separate Gujarat's Jos Buttler with Delhi's Patum Nissanka in 7th and 8th. Which explosive batter will explode up the List the highest this week?

If my two dingbats keep on, I have that bottom place locked. Pooran especially seems in horrendous form

[Arthur Crabtree]

Great. That puts me in ninth...

Harry Brook needs seems to be on long rest for 2 months.

[Durhamfootman]

he might be a bit tired

Weekly Top 5

1, Michael Bracewell - 185 - A relatively impressive all round display from Bracewell sees him earn his first Cricketer of the Week award. Seems to have uncovered some huge hitting potential. Was helped by playing 3 games in the window this week, though.

2 Quinton De Kock - 182 - Has given Mumbai a selection headache to go along with their results headache after scoring a mammoth 112 in the loss to Punjab yesterday.

3. Phil Salt - 135 - Produced one of his decent performances with 78 against Mumbai before clocking up a damp squib against Lucknow. Enough to clinch bronze.

4. Liam Dawson - 124 - His first appearance in a Top 5 this year courtesy of a not very impressive performance against Yorkshire. Almost half of his points this week come from Economy.

5. Jos Buttler - 120 - Another half century for Buttler as he edges his way back towards the Top 5 again.

Overall Top 5

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1692 - Despite his score of 0 this week he still claims top spot with a lead of 233 points.

2. Aiden Markram - 1459 - Ticking along nicely for his third week in Top 2. Did not take advantage of a slip up from our current leader but holds off third.

3. Quinton De Kock - 1430 - Back in action after three weeks away and manages to keep his third place berth again.

4. Saim Ayub - 1315 - Played three games this week and got only 106 runs from them but still managed to keep a hold of fourth for a second week.

5.Sam Curran - 1156 - Just about managing to hold on to his Top 5 position with quite a few lining up to replace him.

Ones to Watch

Ravindra Jadeja and Liam Dawson were both mainstays in the Top 5 for almost all of the last year but find themselves lingering outside the Top 10 this year. Only three points split them this week.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 211.5 (Down from 241.71)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 177.75
3.Quinton De Kock = 143 (Up from 138.67)

Michael Bracewell shoots up by 20.5 points to 82 and a half. Vaibhav's 0 sees him plummet by 30.21 points.

Weekly Update

1.Mehidy Hasan Miraz - 206 - MHM was the winner of one of the most unedifying Cricketers of the Week earlier this year when he got a score of 131 in a week where only two players featured. This one is more earned.....despite playing three games when most played two.

2.Ravindra Jadeja - 162 - Had a bit of a flat IPL so far but had two decent fixtures this week courtesy of two wickets against Kolkata and 43 runs vs Lucknow.

=3. Shubman Gill - 150 - 100 runs across two games this week continues his decent IPL spell. Does not manage to move up from 17th place overall however.

=3.Simon Harmer - 150 - We are still not at vintage Harmer levels - especially not with the ball - but the South African is certainly contributing with the bat for Essex.

5.Liam Dawson - 144 - 3 wickets and some choking economy in a thriller vs Somerset puts Dawson in 5th place this week.

Overall Top 5

1.Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - 1776 - Not exploding like he was in his opening figure but is still sizzling away. 84 points this week is still more than anyone else in the Top 5 from last week scored.

2. Aiden Markram - 1541 - 42 runs across two fixtures this week is not putting much pressure on first place. Has 71 points between himself and third.

3.Quinton de Kock - 1470 - Exploded back into IPL action last week but only got 40 points in two fixtures this week. Still, a healthy 150 point gap between him and fourth.

4. Saim Ayub - 1320 - Only 5 points this week as he failed to impress in his solitary match for Hyderabad in the PSL this week. Manages to hold 4th for a third week.

5. Jos Buttler - 1225 - Debuted in Week 1 in fifth place and drifted as low as tenth. Returns to claim his place courtesy of his IPL form.

Ones To Watch

Test superstars Ravindra Jadeja and Travis Head are struggling overall this year. Only one point splits them between 11th and 12th.

Highest Weekly Average

1. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi = 197.73 (Down from 211.5)
2. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 177.75
3.Quinton De Kock = 133.64 (Down from 143)

MHM up by 14.68 points to 73.9. Vaibhav drops the most for the second week in a row - down another 14.17 this week.
