Lynn, Banton, Laughlin, Phillipee, Henriques, Curran and Abbott to come.

Nair Khawaja, Sams and Ferguson all good in the end. Didn't go with Hales was OK until last night.

Hopefully Lynn, Banton and Laughlin bounce back like the others did.

A lot will depend on how my POD C in Abbott goes today, I guess...

The nature of BBL scoring as well as the fixturing means so much can change in such a short time.

I remember in GW2 last year I decided to just take a shot on Tom Curran who'd just played his 1st BBL game ever and scored 11. He ended up scoring 200+ in his second game. One player can literally make a huge difference as people move away from their starting teams and even if you are ranked out past 2,000 after the first 5 GWs you are still a genuine chance to win some top 10 money.
I second this. Was ranked 7000 after the first week last year, but after picking the right players at the right times (luck & research), such as selecting Stoinis at his lowest price, sitting Cook on my bench as soon as he was named and choosing Lalor as a POD for the last 3-4 rounds, I was able to finish top 10.

My personal strategy throughout the year was to get rid of the players with high BE's, and replace them with players who had low BE's (taking form/DGW'S into consideration as well). Very simple, it led to quite a large number of POD's, and a lot of cash generation. And I really enjoyed watching players that I would rarely consider, and it made the BBL exciting to watch (despite the incredibly long season).

On another note, currently on 3-1010 - Curran (C)
4 sixers, 3 heat and Short to come.

Just wanted to share with everyone the Importance of the coming weeks

season 2018
after round 1 I was ranked 8153, which after what I thought was a decent effort

two rounds later round 3 I was ranked 415th,

funny Thing is in round 2 and 3 I also average rounds where I was ranked 10k for the round

this Is mainly for the people who feel as though they are well below par atm, it may mean you have been preparing for coming rounds or just been unlucky

Fantastic reminder! Further adding to this, it is worth remembering that last year's overall winner was roughly 8,000th after round 1 before taking home the $25,000. Trade smart and trust the process!
Hear, Hear.

Looking likely that I’ll get off to a slow start again this season but being able to effectively and efficiently navigate the doubles/byes is essential.

Started last season at 12,278
After 5 rounds I was ranked 7432
1st time I was in the top 1000 was at the end of RD9 (631)
Managed to finish the season at 156.

I’m new to SuperCoach, still trying to work out some things...would appreciate youse guys help. Sorry for the questions...
1.POD - point of difference - what is this exactly?
2. Although I’ve read the rules around substitutes, I’m still a bit unclear...James Vince was on my bench, scored 14 pts, but I don’t get the points because I also had Josh Phillippe?
3. I saw one post suggesting a good strategy is to have mostly low cost bat and bowl rookies on the bench. I‘m unsure 7D7CA709-33B9-46CD-9B79-3BC695A2E31A.jpeg what strategy I should use for bench players...
4. After today’s games, R1 ends....so players can be traded, dropped etc until when?

thanks for your input!!
