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

[Sideshow Bob]

Boring but targets probably nes and Webster.
Would really like Ellis but probably have to settle for Meridith first this round, not sure I want to VC him though

Last game has lots of good C options
with the rain looks like tonight is the VC for
me as I can’t loop game 3

 

[Shaunpro1]

Owen is probably the main dilemma for me, ceiling is obviously massive but Ive never been a fan of 150K for a bat only.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

I really don't know what to do this round...

4 Scorchers & 1 Sixer, plus Doran, plus Bazely & Weatherald who on the fringes of the Striker squad. Could be another crazy round... Ging to have to hope that Bazely & Weatherald play att least.

 

[Herbie66]

Settled on Agar - > Meredith so far

Look at the others tomorrow

ST v PS Round 8 on Monday does that have possible weather concerns also ?

8 possible problems

Can hide 5 on the bench hopefully

Trade out 3

See who is more useful in Round 8 & 9 and keep those.

My weather app is saying that there's some chance for rain, but should be done by game time (but was saying it was going to be fine a couple of days ago).

 

[Chumpion]

My biggest decision is do I hold Agar/Billings or role the dice on the Sixers game. If I hold either I can bench all potentially impacted players, but if I trade then I risk only having 11 on field pending teams.

If it was me , I would be trying to get as many playing as possible

Probably have to hold your Thunder players with the weather uncertainty

I would look at Marsh (definitely not playing the next 2 games) & Weatherald - > say to David & Meredith (in preparation of their DGR) tonight , hold onto the 3rd trade

Then if Weatherald is in the starting XI possibly can swap him out to Bazley instead (fingers crossed at least 1 of them plays)

Then you might get a clearer indication tomorrow re the SS v PS game.

You might then have to trade out 1 of your remaining 4 PS/SS otherwise hold them for Round 8 & 9.

Thanks for the help. Going to be tight. Just continuing my awful season. When does the real SC start?

 

[Dravid]

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.

Curran at 7?

Although, I'm not sure how I like Curran coming back in and taking overs from Stoinis/Webster.

Is he still in the country ?

I think I read Stoinis had a catch up with him the other day.

McKenzie must be close to returning , they might go 2 specialist spinners @ Marvel.

Sunday week it will be all over , and we will all miss it.

Set yourself up this Round with benefits in Round 8 & 9.

 

[Jay Sea]

I’m probably looking at setting up for a Stars batting nuff and if things go wrong, I’ll change them to a player on field.

MacDonald the best option?

I thought Curran was due back for the next game?

I thought Curran was due back for the next game?

Haven't seen any updates since the original one where they said at least out for 2 matches.

I was expecting him back last night , nothing was mentioned about him on the Seven coverage last night.

 

[MattyP]

Any thoughts on Wade v McDermott? Struggling to split them.

Any thoughts on Wade v McDermott? Struggling to split them.

Wade is keeping, opening the batting and has a much lower BE. It's Wade for me.

 

[blue dreamer]

Just while on break at work.

Connelly, Agar W, Edwards to Johnson, Ellis and Konstas.

Last player was going to be Wade but Konstas' b e attracted me.

Johnson was nearly Dorf but the potential weather had me wary.
VC Ellis/C Overton

 

[Boomerstar08]

Best player under $122,900? - I've already got Wade (maybe tbc still deciding), Bethell, Scott (bench), and Meredith under that mark. Position doesn't matter as it'll be in the 'flex' spot.

Trades currently are;
Turner - Wes - Ferguson OUT, Neser - Wade - Doggett (current player I've got under $122,900) IN.

Trades still aren't confirmed as I don't really love Wade/Doggett, but I don't really want to field 0s (which would be Philippe assuming their game doesn't go ahead).

Currently looking at Meredith VC, and Overton C
