Gap closing between us. Very very fast.

I'd rethink the whole Pakistan 11 strategy.

I would rather lose with my Pakistan 11 than win with another team loyal until the end!

[hafizexpress]

You used for modification then me

I was referring to your rate of modifications. It's much higher. For example, look at the difference between our mods in post 84 versus the latest update.

@W63L35 You are the last obstacle to overcome.

I won't make it to no 1, but I will be coming for you. .

I've done so well for my first time playing fantasy league.

Yes, you have done great for playing this for the first time.
I will be the happiest person, if you beat me!

I used to challange a few the "arm-chair selectors" to play this game .... so that they could show us their player-selection skills. There used to be a few PP members .. who criticized every selection in Pak team and when I used to invite them play here, they would run away.

Well if I'm being honest, I don't think I'll beat you.

But I would say out of everyone who has played, I've had the fastest catching up. From 32 to 11.

Should reach 9 soon.

I’m back now brother, I’m gonna try to chase your score down.

My first time playing fantasy as well, has been great fun. I only wish that there was one change - much less modifications allowed. In other sports, you basically select your team before the season starts and you have a few reserves to make changes.

Lol okay, but if you wanna do that, please stop selecting Pakistan 11 . Even if Pakistan wins, the points don't increase much cause our team is brainless in things like rr and has toothless bowlers lol.

I'm sure alot of people didn't gain points today cause many choose NZ players for winning.

Pakistani 11 strategy has destroyed me put too much faith in all of the boys

I chose SA 11 today. Because not only do I live in Aus, ik aus and NZ teams better then anyone.

I predicted NZ to lose, the aus defeat demotivated these guys, of sas batted first guarantee win.

My gamble paid off.

Yes you do! But it is game of cricket and the last ball has not been bowled yet!

 

[mominsaigol]

Can 10 and 9 stop selecting the same things I'm selecting

 

[amvbfm]

Yes you do! But it is game of cricket and the last ball has not been bowled yet!

Definitely! And the game is always more fun when there is good competition.

 

[mominsaigol]

I wonder what the update will be, point will be stupid high lol

[mominsaigol]

At 9, Finally. Good god.

Time to reach 5 now. Holy damn this is my first time and im killing it

 

[160KPH]

Spent so long away from the game that it looks like even if I max out my modifications now, I will be left with some leftovers at the end of it. Not ideal

At this stage one should look to quickly finish the modifications

Even if I modify every player and captain every single game, I still will have modifications left over at the end since I missed a few days for work.

After AFG-NETH game.

 

[W63L35]

Have a solid lead now

Now you have 1200+ points lead over me..... which means I have to gain 100 points on you everyday in the remain 12 days of the tournament to have any chace of catching up with you! I think, you will win! I think, I need to make some very unconventional picks and then hope they delivery! My only delimma is that I have to pick the team 6-7 hours before the match starts .... because matches start at 3:00 AM my time and I do not feel like getting up and selecting the team! Well, good luck for the remaining 12 days!

 

[Saj]

Forgot to change my team at key times and look what happened lol

Will not be a good day today will definitely end my chances of winning the overall competition. Yeah I have a substantial lead now. You need two or three of your captains to come off with big centuries or 5 wickets. Understandable, and definitely one of the reasons for my lead as on most days I am able to pick before the match. Also probably why someone like MMHC is behind.

Don't worry I won't have a great day either. May captain has already failed and I picked and then dropped Fakhar!

Ouch. I picked Rizwan as captain so same boat. Moreover both Aussie openers failed.

Interestingly almost everybody picked Head and Warner.

 

[amvbfm]

Interestingly almost everybody picked Head and Warner.

yeah that will level out for most teams. Issue is if you don’t pick players like them they can hurt you bad so it’s a catch 22 even if you know they are likely to fail.

 

[mominsaigol]

Update?

 

[W63L35]

Update?

Most probably the update will be posted after Eng-Aus game. Sometimes it is 6-7 hours after the game but sometimes it is early. So let's see....

Fair, I forgot the England vs Australia game was happening today

Does that mean, you did not pick any players from Eng-Aus game today?

Don't need to, picked ravindra and fakhar so

Nice work @W63L35

Costly error by me not making changes in time for the recent South Africa match when QDK and RVD scored 100s.

 

[mominsaigol]

I really hope I get to no 5 atleast

 

[mominsaigol]

Update after this bloodbath? Cause I chose Indian 11 hehe

 

[amvbfm]

I went with Kohli too, but I feel that I am too far back

You never know need to get lucky with a big innings like the one Fakhar played yesterday or like Jadeja‘s bowling. The real issue when you are far behind is that you have to try left field picks because usually everyone picks the obvious ones who are doing well. in any case good luck!

 

[W63L35]

...and i did not pick Kohli as my captain!

 

[W63L35]

Almost 1100 points for Saj today! Wow!

 

[amvbfm]

My left field choice of Kusal Perera over Matthews didn't work

It worked very well! I picked Mathews over Perera.

It worked very well! I picked Mathews over Perera.

you should get 10 times the points Matthew earns for his once in a century mode of dismissal

The gap between 9 and 5 ain't that high anymore. Looks like I'll make it after all.

Gained exactly 100 points on you.

 

[W63L35]

@amvbfm

I hope you picked Head as your captain..... because I picked him!

 

[W63L35]

@amvbfm I am having a horrible day! None of my player has performed so far today. Aus at 117/7, now my only hope is Cummins hitting a 100!

 

[160KPH]

Anyone else pick Maxwell? if only I had made him captain! Ridiculous innings.

Nope. Picked his opening partner

did . Captaincy would’ve been a home run.

No. I did not even pick Maxi.... as I said, today might be my worst day!
