the Exciting 8 + Inglis , Nielsen & Sutherland leaves $ 583,700.00 in the Bank for 5 players, 2 onfield
Adding Clarke $ 153,800.00 leaves $ 429,900.00 for 4 players , 2 onfield
(arguments sake using CDG & Lynn leaves you $ 192,700.00 for 2 remaining bench players)
or using Gilkes $ 97.400.00 leaves $ 486,300.00 for 4 players , 2 onfield
(arguments sake using CDG & Lynn leaves you $ 249,100.00 for 2 remaining bench players)
Benching Stoinis & Zampa in Round 2 will require decent starting bench cover.

I expect whoever is leading after Rd 1 won't have stacked up on double gamers, instead picking high scoring single gamers, happens nearly every year. Might be the strategy to go for? 
11 x DGR for me to start although still tossing up WK1
I certainly won't be leading after Round 1 but as long as I am doing significantly better than last seasons Round 1 ranking of 29,485th I will be happy 11 x DGR for me to start although still tossing up WK1

I almost surely won't be running with 9 wicket keepers this year, but I managed to stay in touch fairly well early on with that strategy.
McDermott , Philippe , Clarke , Billings could be interesting to start
Value in Gilkes , Inglis & Wade , just park Nielsen @ WK2
you could try a all OS team or a All Aussie team this season or just pick a team and win the whole bloody thing

That's right , I do recall that now.

cricket.com reporting it is only a 2 week injury , no surgery required.
"It's damage to the palm of the hand, which is less than ideal in his right hand, so where he'd be gripping the bat and if he did have to 'keep, the ball would be impacting that area.
"He saw a hand specialist yesterday, thankfully, there's no tendon damage. That's the positive out of the negative, that there's no tendon damage, and they've been able to stitch it up and clean up the wound and let the healing begin.

1. What does the rest of your team look like with Marsh on the bench ? I would imagine it means you are going to miss out on 1 maybe 2 of the higher costing players that have a DGR to start so how many points are you giving up.
If he is in the extended Test Squad may/may not even play both games of their DGR.
2. Gilkes seems the popular option to start (back to back DGR's) , mind you if he is not opening , maybe not worth it , as for a playing replacement under $ 100k no idea

Marsh over Boult then by the looks of things.
Each to their own just curious as to why Hosein over Zampa who is on a DGR ?
Haven't really looked at the Hurricanes in detail might come down to Paris/Tremain/Stanlake for that third seamer spot.
Kellapotha probably doesn't play until Hosein & Mujeeb depart.
I guess it then comes down to Round 2 trades , might need to lose both of Maxy & Rashid depending which other Scorchers you are targeting.

Don't mind Hosein , also like Mujeeb , think he will be a different bowler away from the Gabba.
No point getting locked into a team yet , too many unknowns to play out.
Not to mention the keeper situation in the three teams on the double is a bit sketchy outside him. I don't think the Stars even have another keeper right now, Carey won't be playing and Nielsen has never been viable, and who the Thunder have keeping and where they bat is anyone's guess.
The real value for mine is with Wade but it's a tricky spot for sure.

A couple of years ago we had Adelaide on bye-double-double to start and I managed to get Rashid onto my R1 bench almost by accident - think I'd managed to jag a good bench score and switched someone I wasn't quite as sure about for him. It's always good to make sure your donuts you carry through are definitely players you want in the next round, but with that much outlay you really need to nail some cheap picks.
As a general observation, I think it’s good to work towards having maximum capital rotating through the DGRs. Marsh having a bye first up means that starting him is closer to the other way around, so I’d only do it in special cases. Having a plan to get him in R2 might be important, but I don’t think you need to start him to achieve that, and you can probably make better use of his cash in R1.
