Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to keep you up to date with an online cricket league I have been running for the last couple of weeks. The reason this is not in the 'leagues' forum is that it shall be presented in the form of a story. The Facebook Premier Cricket League was founded in 2008 and enjoyed a very successful first season. In this league, users could own a franchise comprised of other willing players on facebook, and each franchise was entitled to 4 international players in their squads. For the last 3 years, it seemed the idea was abandoned, until just recently when it was revamped with new franchises by yours truly.

The fixtures have now been released for the FPCL2, which will begin on Thursday the 26th of January:

About the League:

Facebook users have joined and applied to own franchises, of which there are 8 available positions. Owners can then sign their friends on facebook as players, aswell as signing as many as 6 international players for their squads (4 can play at a time). The international players are bought in an auction, participated in by all franchises. They then play off in a league, using the simulator Cricsim for 50 over matches. Facebook users have default stats based on the player type that they choose.

There is also a Local Player Concession rule. Franchises are allowed to sign two players who originate from the location which the franchise is representing. For example, Perth and Bunbury are both Western Australian squads, so between them they are allowed to sign two Western Australian players and these players do not count toward their International Player count.

The auctions for FPCL2 have already taken place, and the 'Local Player' signings are currently taking place. This story will mainly cover the matches themselves which begin next week. At the moment all clubs are still recruiting and applications for new franchises are still open.

Haha, perhaps in the future when the league is a touch more popular. There is also to consider that that would probably give away alot of identities of people on here so I'd prefer to refrain from identifying them as such. Thank you for your signings though and congrats!

----------

In the mean time, here is a flashback of earlier in the month when we had our FPCL International Player Auctions. A couple of articles, firstly after the first Auction Day:

Shane Watson is officially the most expensive FPCL player of all time, commanding an remarkable $4, 000, 000 from the Mississippi Milwaukees in this evening's FPCL2 player auction. The Perth Scorchers were also very keen on securing his services, offering as much as $3, 500, 000, but pulled out of the running late in the auction.

But the Scorchers did not go home empty handed, spending a whopping $3, 500, 000 themselves on young batting masterclass David Warner. Warner has shot into calculations of being one of the hottest young batting talents around the world in light of his 180 off 159 ball innings against India in the recent WACA test. The Scorchers were pushed to the limit to secure his services by none other than the Milwaukees themselves. The Milwaukees' only other bought player was English allround dynamo Kevin Pietersen.

"We were probably willing to bid as much as $4, 000, 000 on either player, but realising that would only leave us not much for bidding in other auctions, we decided to keep going for Watson. We probably would have stopped at around $6, 000, 000." Milwaukees owner Lewis Spragg commented afterward.

Earlier in the auction, the Scorchers quietly bagged the West Australian veteran beauties in Mike Hussey and Brad Hogg, the former who is likely to sign on as captain. They also bagged upcoming quick talent James Pattinson for a minimum level bid of $100, 000. The other Western Australian team, the Bunbury Spartans, signed some of their own talent earlier in the day. They picked up Australian skipper Michael Clarke and South Africans Graeme Smith and AB de Villiers for minimum level bids, while they spent a significant fee of $500, 000 on fierce quick Dale Steyn.

Mike Hussey is the new Scorchers skipper


The Bihar Super Kings and the Dunedin Dynamos quietly went about their business amid the chaos of the day, picking up eight signings between them, all for the minimum level bids of $100, 000. The Super Kings signed Ricky Ponting, Jaques Kallis and Imran Tahir while the Dynamos reeled in Shaun Marsh, Shane Warne, Eoin Morgan, Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins.

"We were delighted with those signings, the first three in particular we saw as real bargains," Dynamos owner Nick Carter said afterward. "Warney in the side will provide awesome leadership with his skill and experience. We look forward to watching him tear it up for us."

The second FPCL2 player auction will take place later this evening and run for approximately 24 hours


And secondly after all three auctions were completed:


SHANE Watson's record of being the most expensive FPCL player of all time has been smashed today, with the Bihar Super Kings signing the West Indian gem in today's third and final player auction. The Super Kings had plotted their budget wisely, and had barely scratched the surface of their initial $10 million budget going in to today, which proved too much for rival franchises to match.

Gayle was signed for a mammoth $6, 000, 000.


In other news, other big names were signed across the globe by other franchises. Kumar Sangakkara became the equal second most expensive FPCL, with Dunedin's bid of $4 million matching Mississippi's bid for Watson on Day One.

"We were very keen for a wicketkeeper, as going in today we didn't have one." commented Dynamos owner Nick Carter. "Kumar is obviously a wonderful asset, being the number one ranked Test batsman in the world now makes you valuable and we think our bid reflects that."

Daniel Vettori will also make his way across the Tasman to join his new Scorcher teammates in Perth (for a signing fee of $2 million) while home-state rivals Bunbury Spartans sneakily signed Shivnarine Chanderpaul for a minimum level bid of $100 thousand. Mississippi, left relatively financially powerless in the wake of their big bidding in previous auctions, were forced to sign Brendon McCullum (New Zealand) and Kieron Pollard (West Indies) for minimum level bids, after having previously been in the race for Chris Gayle.

The previous day, the mantle of 'biggest signing of the day' was shared by the Scorchers, the Spartans and the Milwaukees, signing Shahid Afridi, MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar respectively for $2.5 million each. Zaheer Khan was also bought by the Spartans for cold $1 million, while other signings included Saeed Ajmal (Mississippi), Yusuf Pathan (Bihar Super Kings) and Praveen Kumar (Bihar Super Kings), each for the minimum level bid of $100, 000.

Today was a massive day for the development of the Facebook Premier Cricket League. 46 new players were signed and 3 more franchises established meaning the opening match of the tournament has been moved forward from Sunday the 29th to Thursday the 26th. The league now consists of 3 Indian teams, 3 Australian teams, a New Zealander team and an American team.

The Brisbane Heat and the Chennai Walls, who play each other in the opening round coincidentally, have not reached the required quota for signing players just yet and so are in a race against time to 'get their shopping done' in time for Thursday.

With 8 teams, the league has now been shortened to a 7 week competition with two weeks of finals. The winning franchise will earn $8 million to their budget. Stay tuned for more news and details over the following days as teams finish up their signings.
 
All I can say after seeing the stuff is Hyderabad Hurricanes are the only team with 18 players, since they are the only team with full squad, they will win the tournament quite easily;).

Haha, we'll see about that!

What happen in the very first ever Facebook Premier League?

It was actually run by a different admin. It's still out there if you want to go check it out but most of the match records are gone. There were 5 franchises, the Perth Demons, the Brisbane Bulls, the Berne Bashers, Riyadh Lightning Warriors and Punjab Hurricanes.

Riyadh won overall, beating Perth in the final. In one game, Riyadh posted a ridiculous 419-0 from their 50 overs. The league was abandoned just before the start of the second season.
