bt cup season 6

I know this may seem a bit early given that this years bt cup hasn't finished (and I've made a complete hash of it so far) however I don't think the main cup challenge cup divide is really working and I think I have a fair way of bringing the 2 cups together in a way that brings all managers back onto a level playing field so we know who the best manager on cricekt world is, not the person who's been playing the longest.

but could we do it on rating, for example every player must be under 4000 and you can have youre own players, because ima bit short of cash at the moment, how about we have to have at least 7 players that arent yours, and maybe a star player that has to have a rating under 10,000

yes indeed

my latest addition to my " under 10,000 squad"

guy no.7, pretty please with this one

yep, but i only need to buy 6 players

damn !

mine genuiley are though, ,my worlst players, only 1 out of those 5 has ever played a match for me, so no cheating please

I may not get five worst players who have not played a match since I have been playing them lately because my original squad PFL got quite low.

I'm liking the essence of Slogger's idea, how he's aiming to nullify the amount of time a manager has been playing. However, I think the structure is a bit messy. What should be developed is actually like a fantasy draft from your squad, i.e. each team can have two players who have wages over 1000, but under 2000, 5 players with wages between 500 and 1000 and 4 players between 350 and 500... or something similar. This means that managers must meet mandatory brackets, meaning that each teams players are similar in ability.

This also means that we're not going to waste money buying players and will allow the competition to even itself out, giving each manager parameters with which they must compete.

The actual structure can be tinkered with, except I think there should be an opportunity for 1-2 teams to have a player over 1000, as most teams only sport these players.

Good point, I'm ok with any player under 1000, though I think the brackets I proposed should be adhered to.

Let's see what other members think too.

I reckon we should have a vote on this

No I don't think it's fair on MP12, he's doing a lot as it is, I'll run it unless someone else volunteers to run it instead, rifat may also decide to run it as well
