“The Cradle of Cricket”

Two weeks have gone in the Fantasy League, and the early transfer window is now open. This will let you fix any glaring mistakes or omissions in your squad early in the season before it is too late. There will be a second transfer window at the mid-point of the season.

The transfer window is open for the next 2 weeks – until 12:00 noon on Saturday 23 May. You can make one change of up to 5 players in your squad. You may also find a few new players to choose from who were not included at the very start of the season.

Go along and make your changes now!

The league season is nearly here, and Fantasy League 2026 is open for team entries!

The rules are the same as last year: you may select a squad up to 40 points total, and your team budget is 30 points. In addition, there will be two transfer windows. Read the full rules here.

When you go to create a fantasy team, you will need to log in using the same account you use to manage your membership. If you don’t already have one, you will need to create an account.

Good luck to everyone!

As always, if you run into any issues, please get in touch with me (Seb).
