Strategy BBL|14 Round 7: Trades/XvY, strategy & other related news and VC/C poll

[nmh94]

Current trades:

Rutherford>Owen
W Agar>H Manenti
Overton>M Short

The last one represents my need to do something different to the pack at this point. Originally was considering admitting my mistake and getting Sutherland but everyone has him. If for whatever reason Short doesn't pull up fit for the game, I'll reverse the trade.

How bad is the weather going to be in Sydney? Already own 2 Scorchers and 2 Sixers, really like Abbott and Edward’s this round too but worried about that rain

I hope it's a wash out because that was the reason I went Webster over Abbott last night - Had 2 Sixers and 1 Scorcher already and didn't want to risk that extra exposure as it would have forced me to hold my Thunder assets.

 

[Herbie66]

Might just bench Abbott & Dwarshuis and use Boyce & Jordan as cover this round.

Harper 😢 can cover Philippe in case

Wait for some more information.

Trade out W Agar (was going to keep as E for the next 3 rounds just in case he pumped out a big score again) and try and upgrade Turner & Weatherald (possible 🍩 option this round)

Aside from one game Billings has been uninspiring

Hopefully Stoinis is 100%

Note to self , in future hold a Boost for this stage of the season

Biggest question is whether or not you use a trade for a loop thats only going to be of benefit for one round, think I'm leaning towards just going a straight C and having the extra Hurricane for Round 8.

I may have missed but with a view to today's trades was there any word on if Brown may be back this round or is he one that needs to be washed out of my team?

Honeyball say he is likely to return.

Bigger question for me is do I commit to a trade at WKP with the Billings, Doran, Harper trio to potentially loop billings.

Hurricanes play first game so Doran is useless this round as a 🍩

 

[Herbie66]

Is Maxwell actually fit to bowl ?

Last 3 games he hasn't bowled at all , coincides with Lawrence playing although he only bowled 1 , 2 , 0 overs.

Gone back to pace & Usama by the looks of things (Usama missing Round 9)

Interesting since moving Maxwell to 6 they have won 3 games.

Lawrence gone so Stoinis , Maxwell , Cartwright all go up 1 spot again , surely they don't go back to Rogers.

Slot Kellaway or Merlo back into the "fill the team sheet meaningless position"

Round 8 Bye so probably not the best idea to be considering trading in a 🌟 player in any case.

Yep.

So Option A is setup with Billings WKP1, and hide Doran and Harper at WKP2 and BAT7.

Option B is setup with Billings WKP2, Doran BAT7 and Harper WKP1. Trade Harper to a nuff or playing keeper dependent on Billings score.

Option A allows a better trade in, Option B means a chance to look at Billings.

Think Billings is an easy trade out personally, will be back at 5 with Konstas into the side with a massive BE.

Also just like Wade and McDermott back in Tassie against a pretty average attack.

My decision to make is.. Wade or McDermott?

Well thought out.

I own the same 3 but have bigger issues this round than trying to trade Harper out.

Think I will just have to go :-

Billings / Doran
. / Harper

Can use Harper as my 🍩 for Round 8

 

[mike89]

If that Sixers v Scorchers game is washed out I am in big trouble this round.

3 Sixers (Philippe, Patterson, Edwards)
3 Scorchers (Connolly, Turner, Behrendorff)
2 donuts
Dan Christian, who is probably surplus to requirements again
No boosts

I do agree he’s a good tradeout, don’t think he’s a great option.

But personally for my side, getting him out to a hurricane, leaves me unable to loop at WKP for the rest of the season without another trade there.

If I hold him, and just grab Wade/McDermott next week, then I can loop Billings into the cane for the remaining 2 weeks of the season.

Really depends if you care for being able to loop keepers, would imagine very few people are going to be in a position to be doing it, if you're copping the same score as everyone else its not going to hurt you.

 

[Brendan12]

Looking at

Agar to Webster
Connolly to Neser
Dwarshuis to Owen

Don’t really want to trade Dwarshuis but the weather doesn’t look great and can’t hold too many Scorchers/Sixers. Given that game looks dodgey and my loop is Scott. Gonna have to VC tonight so it’s Owen or Green for the VC

 

[Shaunpro1]

My decision to make is.. Wade or McDermott?

Wade less likely to drop in price, keeping and opening and 20K cheaper.

Might end up with both but I'll go with Wade this round.
