Yes it is good to put it like you have because then you realise that say a BRIS player only plays one extra game over a say a MELS player. Arguably say Maxy would score as many points over 4 games as say Cutting over 5.
As you say, a high-end "uber-premium" side that only targets the really key DGR players would do pretty well against a loaded DGR setup that includes several of our "sort-of premiums". I call them tier 1 scorers and tier 2 scorers. I know there is a grey area there but my overall point is like what I think you are saying don't think you can only have ADE, BRI, HOB players from here. If time permits look at the match-ups as well as the DGR schedule because you might find a certain SGR player is very startable across the remaining rounds.
Then the fantasy sports gods will have their say of course ..
Another great post from obviously a very good thinking coach...
look at the match-ups as well as the DGR schedule
I wanted to highlight the above statement as that's what the really 'astute' coaches do. Having an understanding of team's strengths & weaknesses and combining that to the state of the various venues not only help to guide whether you should go hard at a team for their DGR but also may help with your leans with regards to batsmen or bowlers from the respective teams.
For examples, I would class teams like the Stars & Scorchers to have good AR strengths with little or no weaknesses. With this in mind I would avoid ALL of their middle order players from say a Maxwell or MMarsh down as the majority of points will be accumulated from the batsmen above them, and their bowlers.
Thunder more of a bowling rather than batsmen so only Sams & Morris would be in the reckoning, likewise with the Sixers target bowlers first and foremost.
The remaining FOUR teams are just too hard to nail down at the moment as who'll accumulate the points will change from game to game. These
FOUR teams interestingly forms the
backbone of the DDGRs so that in itself should provide some mix & challenges when selecting your players. That's a good thing in my book as there's nothing worst than everyone having a generic core of DG players for those last 2 rounds. The combination set for each team will depend on...
- Who's currently already in your R9 team
- Who's available to trade in from R10 onwards (noting that the ODI players will not be available prior to R12)
- Who you can afford
The balance of your SG players for those last 2 rounds will be just as important as your DG players. Personally, I will try to have the bulk of my SG players as bowling AR players to ensure that I avoid a really bad score which a pure BAT is prone to put up regardless of how good they are. LYNN is firmly entrenched on my BAT bench for R11 if you're wanting confirmation...
