FTP Fantasy Cricket - U20 World Cup - Season 66

[Eepan]

Hi all!

After checking with the Admin team, I’m proud to announce a Fantasy Cricket competition, open to all managers, for this years U20 World Cup!

The rules:
- 10M to spend.
- Squad size between 2 and 5 players.
- 1 entry per manager.
- Each U20 player is assigned a value, from 5M down to 1M (based on wages and role so no personal bias involved).
- For each group stage match, the fantasy points for each player will be added up
- The winner will be the manager with the most points!

But if you think you've got what it takes, its free to enter, with no pull requirement!

The nominations will open this Sunday 8th November 2026, 2pm ( or once I’ve done the work to assign each player a value.)

They’ll then lock midnight Saturday 14th November 2026, (So I have time to prepare)

Then nominations on this thread in the forums only (So I don’t have to trawl through and find Squads across DM / Discord)

If it proves successful, we can review things (Like expanding to Seniors)

Constructive feedback on how to make it better is welcomed.

Prizes to be announced once signups are confirmed and I finalize with the Admin team.

Any questions drop them below or on discord

Best of luck!

Example




As the example shows, Every team will see their players be sorted into bands, from 5m to 1m

You can pick any player from any team, so for example 1 Aussie, 2 Zimbabwean and 1 Englishman if you'd like, or all from the same nation

Following the rules above people can select a squad,

We then track the fantasy points across each match,

WhiteShadow was too strong in our test!

So jump in once the teams are updated Sunday!

[Eepan]

Below is the player pool to make your squad!

Ranked by position then wage, as much as possible,

(So hopefully the top tier 5m has the best 2 bowling and batting options, then down from there)

Hi,

Here we need to choose 2 or 5 players only within the budget - am I right? Thank you.

Hi,

Here we need to choose 2 or 5 players only within the budget - am I right? Thank you.

Hi!

Squad size can be 2 players, 3 players, 4 players or 5 players,

but the key is just can't spend more than 10m

So examples could be

Example 1
Australian player - 5m
English Player - 5m

10m Total would be your team.

Example 2
Australian Player - 4m
English Player - 4m
English Player - 2m

Example 3
Zimbabwe Player - 3m
New Zealand Player - 3m
New Zealand Player - 2m
Canada Player - 1m
England Player - 1m

Example 4
UAE Player - 4m
New Zealand Player - 3m
New Zealand Player - 2m
Canada Player - 1m

So nationality doesn't matter, just as long as you have at least 2, at most 5, spend no more than 10m, you are all ok!

[ShivMs369]

Like mentioned in example, sunday squads will be announced. We need to pick our teams and register, after that with the game results, winners are announced. Am i right?

Yep once I list the players and prices in this thread

Not worth picking a squad before I post, as you won't know who is valued what

[Scozee]

1. Once we post our squad on the forums, is it locked, or can we make transfers before the next game or elimination round?

2. If two managers finish on the same total points, what is the tiebreaker? (e.g., most wickets, most runs, earliest submission?)

1. Locked Saturday 11.59pm FTP time. I have really basic Google sheets formulas, so won't have time / could make mistakes. Sunday i can then sweep through and post final squads, to spot any mistakes

If anyone wants to take over the spreadsheet and run it /improve, that would be cool, but I only know basic Google sheets. So I'll likely make mistakes if swapping players

2. Both winners, i haven't got final prizes from admin as I dont know how many will join, but if tie, I'm happy to ensure from my own pocket both get 1st prize, not first to post or anything,

Future ideas of selecting a captain to score double points could be cool, but this is NOT included in this version / don't want to confuse people

Almost finished my real life job, then can look at getting the player pool ready ASAP

Thanks for asking, best of luck if entering!

[Eepan]

don't have the time to look through the squads so picked my players and players I recognised the names of

[Eepan]

Thanks Latitude and Kaetor, and anyone else who joins!

Good to know it won't just be me playing aha!

Spot on though Kaetor, feel like the this will be the main strategy, then plug in the gaps, to reduce the amount of choices / players to look at!

Or copy other people's homework when they post their squads aha!

[Guru]

Good idea - thanks
