2013 Fantasy league
The OD CUACO CC Fantasy League 2013 is now open and ready for players to enter. As always it will cost you only £5 to enter a side. You have £70 million to spend on your select 11 players including all age groups and sides within the club. Points will be awarded for all league games the club play in but not senior friendlies.
Follow @ODCUACOFANTASY on twitter and our club's facebook page for all of the breaking news throughout the season. The website is http://odcuaco.easyfantasycricket.com
There is a rule page on this site but if you have any queries you can contact me on fantasy@odcuaco.co.uk.
The majority of the money raised goes to the club as the website organisors take a very small percentage so it's a worthwhile cause - if enough sign up there will be a cash prize at the end of the season!!
Thanks,
Luke.

OD Cuaco fantasy league 2013 report
11 teams managed by OD's very own Jose Mourinho's battled it out in this season's fantasy league. With the omission of Steve Smith, this year's title went to Simon Henley's A O'Rourke Opening Bat side who amassed a decent 6671 points. Three teams followed behind him very close to each other as Bob's Belters (Bob Lake), Australia 11 (Aaron White & Andy O'Rourke) and 11 winners (Tom Churcher) finished on 5253, 5207 and 5173 respectively.
The less said about the sides closer to the bottom is probably the best option.
Players wise Billy Rouse topped the scoring with an impressive 980 although due to his hefty fee of £14.25m was only selected once.
Congratulations Simon on your victory - all that play-cricket stalking and creating stats for every player has now been proved worth it!!

OD CUACO Fantasy League 2012 report
With the amount of success throughout the club this season, it has meant that points in the fantasy league have rocketed through the roof.
In the end it had a familiar feeling as Steve Smith’s side ‘Shambles’ ran away with the league for a 2nd successive season with a huge 6728 points. ‘Riot with Rousey’ managed by Andy Rouse and ‘Chalk XI’ managed by Pete White both topped the table at some point but were unable to keep up the pace during July and August.
At the other end of the table we find the ‘Chairman’s other XI’ and ‘Bat Properly’ managed by Laurence Sanders who obviously hasn’t picked up any ‘how to manage a fantasy league side’ tips whilst at Cambridge.
On the playing side Nick Worsley was the top point scorer finishing on 1078 points – he will no doubt be looking at being moved to the all-rounder player type for next season. Billy Rouse was the top scorer from the colts with an impressive 914 points. While Chris Webster was the best all-rounder scoring 808 points – not bad for someone valued at £13 million.
Simon Hunter scored 565 points to finish as the highest scoring senior bowler.
There were a few players who shall remain nameless who scored minus points for the entire season.
Bargain players included Liam Caddy who at £500k scored 479 points and Andy Parker who racked up 518 points costing just £2.41 million – expect their prices to rise next season.
The “Fernando Torres’s” this season included Ben Webster who at £9.84 million would have collected 251 points and Ross Bond who for £8.17 million gathered a measly 164 points.
Hopefully lessons have been learnt and managers will come back in their numbers for the 2013 season. Remember it is a very simple way of raising money for the club as the website who run it charge a very small fee.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it please email me on fantasy@odcuaco.co.uk.

Teams:
1. Shambles – Steve Smith - 6728
2. Riot with Rousey – Andy Rouse - 5845
3. Chalk XI – Peter White – 5391
Players:

Fantasy league 2011
The inaugural season for the fantasy league caused a lot of interest with 40 teams, under various managers taking part.
Steve Smith’s side ‘Shambles’ ran away with the title in the end with an impressive 7362 points. A large amount of research into players was taken by Steve including phoning them up for team talks before games and being ruthless in his transfers.
Alex Brown, Wendy Webster and Simon Henley all took top spot at various points in the season but not for long enough. At the other end of the table Colin Willis’ sides enjoyed occupying the bottom places.
On the players side of things Chris Webster managed to pick up a massive 1696 points and justified him in being in over half of people’s sides by the end of the season. Graham Ward, Simon Hunter and £15 million man Andrew Ainger were the next 3 but were not even within 1000 points of Chris!!
There were a couple of players who ended on minus numbers, these shall remain nameless.
Next season’s fantasy league will be bigger and better, and if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it please email me on fantasy@odcuaco.co.uk
In total this has raised £185.20 for the club; helped by the fact Steve generously donated his winnings back to the club.
Keep your eyes open for 2012’s season and how your own playing performances have affected your new price tag!!
