A few questions regarding form.
Is the new form model being introduced next season?
And if so will that mean not seeing players on reliable or accomplished form unless they are scoring big runs or taking bags of wickets each and every week in both formats and even so it would be for a prolonged period, therefore it would only be towards the back end of the season they reach high levels of form, or can it happen a bit quicker than that?
And is it modelled around the fantasy points or just purely run & wickets?
And lastly what sort of numbers are we looking at for a form pop or plop?
Thanks.

The last one is easy, form plops and pops are the same as any other level of skill in the game 1000

It is model on fantasy pts which in turn is modelled on runs and wkts plus a few other things
Form for the most part is a gradual thing
3-4 really bad games or really good games and you will start to see some change
In the modelling the first player to hit top form or bottom form was about week 7-8 iirc

And finally yes it will be introduced during EOS as will min wage payments and MKMC increase of teams

So +1000 fantasy points will see a pop and -1000 will see a plop or is it a % of fantasy points ie. players has scored 1000 points over the last 3 weeks which equals 750 form points, or along those lines?

yes that is correct
1 fantasy pt <> 1 form pt but there is a relationship between the 2

Will the form change affect Nat players this week? If so in what way?

Sorry I meant to post a news item last night
We set the seeds to be 1024 but somewhere in its running it overrode that and made it 512
So for this season only its not quite right but the top 512 certainly don't play each other until round 3
My apologies but until we can find the bug that caused it there is no use re-running it
We will ensure it is correct for next season

It's the let's shaft Wolfberries in the cup bug, it's been happening for many seasons now. It's like the glitch in the Matrix, no matter how you try it will always find a way 😉

Form should continue as normal until the WC finishes, I assume the new form format will only come into being when the form has been reset and the new season starts.

Who is the best allrounder in terms of skills?

In essence, I want to know what is the best skills that an allrounder can reach in both primaries with decent power and fielding. Thank you.
