Guys Need some feedback on the FE fantasy cricket.

How do you want to play the games. The options i am detailing below:
(All matches will be part of a tournament. So that they are grouped and winner will be per tournament rather than per match, although scoreboard will be maintained per match)

• Let the users select a common team per tournament. 11 players. Give them points restriction for players they can choose. However they can substitute their players in between(5 or 6 times) - the problem with this is in larger tourneys like 3 team tournaments or worldcup there are too may teams and it will be very hard to juggle the players to maximize points. I know this is how super selector of espnstar is played but i think the level of involvement in this is low)
• Let the users select the team for fantasy league per match. Now if for this we have to choose 11 players then since the pool size is 32(2 team sizes assuming 16 member squad; and usually the pool size is 22 as we know who will play) it gets very predictable. Moreover if there is a points restrictions too in this then how many choices for different team selection will be there as from 22 if you want to select 11 and that too on points, you can imagine the choices.) So here are two sub options:
  • 11 players selection per match but no points restrictions - Again its still very predictable and although you will get 11 player selection but it won't be too much fun(or i think so)
  • the other option is to not select 11 but select 5 or maximum 6 players per match. The advantage is that we can have point restrictions here and since its 5(or 6) then the selection size is more. So teams can be unique. But this would be quite a different sort of a league as compared to leagues running around the world. We are not choosing 11 player teams in this instead a mini team.

Opinions are welcome. Remember unlike other sports, in cricket the playing 11 is usually known for teams plus there are no substitutions

Thoughts are welcome
