Think this is the happiest I'm going to be with. Normally my benches are much cheaper as I wanna get my value on the field but with this season being so undecided and so much value for cheap I have shifted to more value on the bench as a security measure. Agar and Tye are my two certains for the scorchers so I feel most safe with them and am happy to sacrifice value for R1 to avoid issues in R2 and 3. Hosein is my pick to potentially gain an extra for round 5 where i think he will be more expensive whilst having no byes and can sit as extra protection against the random weather/injury if need be.
- I'm not happy with Gilkes but think he for price and 4 goes at it for R1+2 is worthwhile and given my bench cover can be benched or moved on next round with relative ease if required.
- Would prefer to move Wood at to Bat and have Farooqi over Rossouw but there are issues with this; 1. Stu*** up my loop where Hosein can cover with CDG swithcing with connolly, 2. Rossouw has better JS 3. Rossouw, Hales, Gilkes are my only true batters which are less consistent but missing rossouw if he gets a big score in any of the 4 innings will be fairly devastating for R1+2
- I have really tried to target as many overs as possible as probably indicated by my preference of bowlers.
- Wood is my key POD for R1 where he is a worse bowler than Boult HOWEVER has been indicated to bowl at better times, should have a better chance of swinging the bat and is 75K cheaper with DPP.
- 55K is spare but there isnt any change I like where I could use the money to upgrade, Stoinis and Zampa have been in my team through the 4000 variations, Wood I like, green is the only guaratee for ST, CDG should have an excellent role and I cant upgrade rossouw to M short or Sangha and Gilkes/inglis cant become Billings or Phillipe so.
Any thoughts are appreciated, especially any holes or disagreements the more perspectives the better.

The question still remains for me of what they go with for their bowling attack? You'd think Sams, Green, Sandhu are in with Farooq as variety of the left arm bowler which leaves a choice between Doggett and McAndrew as the 5th bowler (Cutting/Sangha to make up 6th if needed). McAndrew was one of their better bowlers last season but I have no confidence in what Thunder will go with in 1st 4 games? Good luck🤞🤞🤞

Might just be best to sit on the $ 55k and use it for Round 2 or 3 trades (CDG + Bank gets you du Plessis easy enough)
Good luck with it
