Fantasy Football – 5 Football Positions Rarely Seen Now

Football is easily the most popular sport in the world. Fans play this game in over 200 countries, which reinforces its popularity. Now, these different nations, owing to their history, geography and footballing talent, add their own variants in the form of new positions and tactics to the game. Thus, football’s evolution is a relentless and constant process, given the sheer number of people playing on-field and also fantasy football games.

Some football positions slowly are fading away and not seen any more in the modern fantasy football league game. Further, a few roles need special skill-sets and at times, a player emerges who can play in that position. Hence, those kinds of positions are not a common occurrence either.

Let’s take a peek at 5 such football positions which has been rarely seeing in the top level. Read on and play online football games at 11wickets.com

False Nine

The most popular position on the list, false nine is a tactically unique position in football. Any formation played in football has at least one striker to lead the line who is closely marking by the opposition defense. In the case of false nine, the forward constantly drops deep, involves in the build-up play and allow the wide attackers to get into the box.

This leads to the opposition losing their defensive shape and makes it very difficult to mark the player. As enticing as it sounds, this position is rare purely due to the skill-set needs. The false nine should have a striker’s movement and scoring ability on one hand while possessing the attributes of good passing, technique and dribbling on the other. Hence, it is extremely rare to see this position at the top level.

Poacher

Talking about strikers, poachers are a dying breed in modern football. As the name suggests, these players have the uncanny knack of converting the slimmest of chances into goals. Excellent movement, great ability to anticipate inside the box combine with devastating finishing ability to complete the skill-set.

However, one barely sees poachers these days as strikers are expecting to show higher work-rate and play anywhere in attack. Poachers generally come alive when a ball comes into the opposition box as they sniff a goal-scoring chance. However, this is no longer acceptable at any top team and it is a rarely seen role now.

Traditional full-back

The traditional full-back is a role which considers non-existent in modern football. In the previous century, full-backs are the last line of defence instead of the centre-backs. They rarely used to venture out in attack and were as defensively sound as the centre-halves.

However, in the modern game, full-backs are key to providing width and supporting the attack, just like wing-backs. Hence, traditional full-backs no longer exist as centre-backs are now the last line of defence. Thus, this is a position which became obsolete due to the advent of the game.

Sweeper (libero)

A sweeper or a libero is a defender who is stationed between the defenders and the goalkeeper. Once again, as the name suggests, the sweeper ‘sweeps’ the ball if the defence is breaches. Thus, they usually have a ‘free’ position and are not pertaining to staying in defence.

These players also possess ball-playing abilities to bring the ball out from defence and get involved in the team’s attacking aspects. However, the introduction of the offside rule meant defences started to hold their line. Thus, sweepers became extinct while similar attributes are seen to varying degrees in modern centre-backs and goalkeepers.

Player-Manager

In the previous century, it was natural for clubs to have their own players become managers after retiring as players. These players generally spend enough time at the club to understand how it functions and is expected to take the club forward better than others. Thus, there used to be scenarios when players in their 30s doubled up as player-managers, even at top clubs.

However, being a player-manager implies the person had to train on one side while ensuring all the managerial responsibilities are carried out without any neglect or self-reference. As the game entered the modern age, it only became more difficult to give 100% in both roles and one barely sees a player-manager in the present day.

Fantasy Cricket – Lesser Known Facts of Cricket

Cricket has been an integral part of human emotions. Today, the internet-based cricket games offered by 11wickets.com, the best platform for these games, are trending a lot amongst the cricket lovers. Daily fantasy cricket games are a rage and the mode of entertainment for cricket fans around the world.

Today let’s talk about the lesser-known facts about the cricket and then focus on the forming the fantasy cricket playing XI team.

There are ten ways a batsman can get out in cricket: Bowled, Caught, Run Out and Leg before Wicket. Handling the ball, Stumped, Hit the ball twice, Obstructing the field, Timed out and Hit Wicket.

First laws of cricket were written in 1774

In ancient cricket, the batsman would bat in front of a tree stump, hence the term “stumps”. As the game developed it was at times played in front of a wicket-gate – which led to the term “wickets”.

Early bowlers would bowl the ball under arm and cricket records tell tales of great under arm lob bowlers. Over arm bowling was at first illegal. It was introduced to cricket by a Kent cricketer, John Willes. He, in fact, got this move from his sister, Christina who found her skirts were getting in the way when she tried to bowl under-arm!

The first international cricket match was held between the US and Canada in 1844. This epic event and match were played in New York and Canada won by 23 runs.

In 1868 an Englishman called Charles Lawrence based in Australia create a team of aborigines and took them to England. This was the first Australian tour to England, and each player wore a cap of a dissimilar colour so that the spectators could spot them. The team played 47 matches against a number of local teams of which they won 14, lost 14 and drew the rest. Despite playing cricket the aborigines showcased a number of sole sports including the backwards race, cricket ball dodging and boomerang throwing.

While he merely played 12 tests with limited success, Alfred ‘Tich’ Freeman is perhaps the greatest first-class bowler ever. A short leg-spin googly bowler, he took 3,776 first-class wickets, second only to Wilfred Rhodes and is the lone bowler to take 300 wickets in 1928 during a single season. He took over 200 wickets in the next seven seasons and remains the only man to take all 10 wickets in an innings thrice and 17 wickets in a match twice.

The greatest all-rounder

One of the greatest all-rounders in the true sense is CB Fry. He captained England at cricket; played for England in football he equalled the world long-jump record. Away from the sport he was presented the Kingship of Albania, he embodied India at the League of Nations, and Hitler consulted with him when he was budding the Youth Program in Germany.

Sir Donald George Bradman has to surely be the greatest batsman of all time. In his last test innings at the Oval in 1948 he needed 4 runs to end with an average of 100. He was bowled by Eric Hollies for a duck. His test average of 99.94 and the first-class average of 95.14 are both world records. His 974 runs in a single test series is also a record. He scored two triple centuries and 12 double centuries in test cricket and was previously left stranded on 299.

Montague Druitt was a fast bowler who played for Winchester College, Incogniti and Dorset, he was a playing member of the MCC as well. In 1888 he drowned himself in the Thames River. Druitt was alleged of being Jack the Ripper!

Fantasy Cricket Record: History of One Day cricket

ODI is a popular format when playing online fantasy cricket games! The limited over’s cricket, also renowned as one-day cricket. And in a little different context as List A cricket; is a edition of the sport of cricket in which a game is generally completed in one day. While Test and first-class matches can last up to five days to complete.

The name reflects the rule that in the daily fantasy cricket match each team bowls a set highest number of over’s. As a rule between 20 and 50, even though shorter and longer forms of maximum over’s cricket have been played.

Read on the amazing back story of this limited over game and start making your team at 11wickets.com to play at the best fantasy cricket platform.

A history to remember

A one day match is named so because each match is planned for finishing point in a single day. One day cricket entertainment has evolved from its first phase around the era of World Series cricket of the 1970s. And it is now the mainly watched and most exhilarating form of the game. In the late 1970s, Kerry Packer recognized the contender World Series Cricket (WSC) contest. The worldwide one-day game is a twentieth-century development. The first ODI was played on 5 January 1971 between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A One Day International (ODI) is a form of Limited over’s cricket, in which a rigid number of over’s, as a rule 50, but in the past 40, 45 or 60 over’s, are played involving two teams with international grade. The Cricket World Cup is played in this configuration. One Day International games are also called “Limited Overs Internationals (LOI)”, because they are limited overs cricket matches among national sides, and if the weather mess about they are not always completed in one day.

Significant one-day matches, international and domestic, frequently have two days set away. The second day being a “reserve” day to allow more chance of the game being concluded. If a result is not achievable on first day (for illustration if play is not permitted or broken up by rain).

Numerous of the aspects of One Day International cricket that are now routine. With coloured uniforms, contests played at hours of darkness under floodlights with a white ball and gloomy sight screens. And, for small screen broadcasts, various camera angles, special effect microphones to arrest sounds from the players on the arena, and on-screen graphics. Teams currently play 50 over’s each.

Rules

In One day International’s, each squad find to bat only a rigid number of over’s. In the early years of ODI cricket, the figure of overs was in general 60 overs per side but nowadays it has been consistently set at 50 overs.

Basically affirmed the game works as follows:

A One Day International is challenged by 2 teams of 11 players each.

The skipper of the squad winning the toss opts to either bat or bowl first.

The side batting first place the target score in a single innings. The innings end until the batting is “all out” (i.e., 10 of the 11 batting troupe are “out”) or all of the first side’s selected overs are spent.

Every bowler is confined to bowl a maximum of 10 overs. It is less in the case of rain-decreased matches. And in any occurrence in general no more than one fifth or 20% of the total overs per innings.

The side batting second strives to score further than the target score in order to win the match. In the same way, the side bowling second tries to bowl out the second team for not as much of as the target score in order to win.

A tie

If the amounts of runs scored by both teams are equal as soon as the second team misplace all of its wickets or drain all its overs, then the match is declared as a ‘tie’ (despite of the number of wickets gone by either team).

Wherever a number of overs are gone astray, for instance, due to rough weather environment, then the number of overs may be condensed. Where the number of overs obtainable for the side batting second is of necessity different from the number of overs faced by the squad that batted first, the result may be firmed by the Duckworth Lewis Method.

The floodlights would be placed in such a move that it would not hinder with fielding side and captains would be permitted a cloth on meadow must the ball become wet.
