Thinking the same, can put the E on Edwards to open up some options but Bartlett/Dwarsh will cause my headaches if they go well, and I don’t really have an alternative if they don’t.

Only other option is to reverse Pope back in and trade someone from tonight instead but not sure it’s worth it given his form..
Having too many Strikers next round will hurt me just as much as copping a rain affected score tonight, not an ideal situation but isn't much I can do to navigate it that makes any real sense.

Yeah good call, and better to have these good scorers moving forward rather than trading them out for one game impact. Hopefully they get enough of a game to make it work out!

Sold my heat and sixers players given this weather looks grim. The potential money lost via a zero wasn’t worth keeping Dwarshuis and Walter. Suspect many will be in worse positions if they held a few heat and sixers from round 3.

Running with the E on all my Sixers players.

Have gone Walter > Agar so far

Have also traded J Davies to Chaudhary as a placeholder for now. Assuming none of my loops go off, third trade will need to be Curran to Jordan/Stoinis. Chaudhary could also be updated to whoever I don't select out of Jordan/Stoinis initially. Could get another Thunder player, but not overly keen on any of them outside of Ferguson, but would prefer to wait for a price drop. Hurricane players will make some money at the least.

Once the rain/drizzle stops and they can clear the wet patches, it could be by 7pm it should be clear after that, so potentially a 15 over game?

Was going to keep O'Neill, and hope for a form reversal against the easy Stars batting line up.
So that idea got flushed!
Wanted to keep Johnson, but didn't want 2 bowlers in tonights rain affected game, so kept Dwarshuis instead.
Only Philippe and Dwarshuis in this game, both E'd.

Will VC Stoinis
If he's a C score, will trade Overton to Jordan.
If Stoinis is no good, C on Overton, trade D Short to Jordan.

Have Dwarshuis, Philippe & Johnson from the first game.
Add to that O'Neill, Curran, Doran & Scott means I'm down to a max of 10 players left to field (prior to trades).

Had planned to keep Dwarshuis as he has a good remaining draw (Heat, Stars, Scorchers, Strikers & Thunder) but he drew the short straw with Johnson. Philippe & Johnson with the E so will see i) if we get a game ii) their scores before deciding on who to trade in.

Luckily I still have a boost in hand if more curve balls are thrown but hoping not to have to use it just yet.

What a strange old start to a season!

If this rain continues to persist, we would've started with 2xDGRs followed by 2xDGRs, a triple DGRs, another 2xDGRs...and potentially a 3-game round for our first of three SGRs.

Just a reminder for those who've already used up all three of their E's on Heat/Sixers players (I'm sure someone will ask the question eventually).

Now that the game has been officially abandoned, if you do decide to take a VC score from one of the next 2 games, then you're effectively forgoing the 12th scorer for the round!

Essentially, playing 11 scorers rather than the normal 'best 11 from 12' scorers for the round.
