Not for the classic. For the classic league I've set up you pick your team, and then you can make changes every round (there's a limit for the rounds).
There's another league which is where you pick a team for each match which I can't be arsed with.

Also if you read the rules you get unlimited trades before round 2 too. So you're better off not picking any Indian players in round 1.
After Round 2 you can only change 5 players per round or something.

Final round 1 game is SA Vs Bangladesh
Joined. Ready to wreck you all.
Thanks, joined. Not sure doing it the right way but feck it.

Day 1: England vs South Africa
England batting first
I have Roy in my fantasy XI. Let's go!
Let the Commonwealth Games begin!
South Africa's batting looks pretty one dimensional and hugely reliant on De Kock for acceleration.
I like this move of Tahir to Roy though.

Tahir opening the bowling. Jonny out first ball 
Gone!
Wow 
:Lol:
Wicket Bairstow out
Bc cricinfo showed roy as out
Good start for @Samid
Another thing I don't get about this world cup is how they decided against renovating any of the stadiums. It's a shame the biggest is 27,000 in capacity.
Thanks Joe!
Keep Roy away from Tahir you cnuts.
Come on you Saffers!
And where's the money coming from for that?
Faf is wasting Tahir here.
County fundraisers?
For once, the infographics are clean and decent.
Yeah he's gone OTT. He needs to get two seamers on now
I had Bairstow as my captain
Joined guys, but don't know what I'm doing.
This very tournament. The ECB aren't exactly poor.
Roy and Root rode that out well, Tahir bowled an over too many once he'd got the breakthrough.
SA are quite pedestrian.
This England batting line up reminds me of Australia 03-07. It's just so effortless for them to score quickly. It's a given they will score at 5+ an over and pick up a boundary. Not sure if they quite have the metal of Printing, Hayden, Gilchrist and co though.
Obviously the bowling line up is nowhere near as scary.

They're not, but they're not 'expensive renovations at every single ground' rich. Lord's are adding 2500 seats at the cost of £50m; it isn't the FIFA World Cup, this tournament simply doesn't make enough cash to carry out building work at stadiums which are often in built up areas. And even if it did it's questionable whether the money is better spent building extensions to grounds that might struggle to sell out rather than spending money on the grassroots. The ECB do lots of things wrong, but building white elephants isn't something you can realistically demand of them.
They did want to play India v Pakistan and England v Australia at West Ham's Stadium, but they couldn't work out how to position the strip to stop the sun blinding the batsman.
Oh, and the counties that actually own the grounds have absolutely feck all money.

Sucks this is on pay-for TV. England games should at least be on terrestial channels. A home world cup and a chance to get new people in the sport but they've missed a big opportunity chasing Sky's money.
