Think theres enough doubt for me to pass, really dont want to prioritise Naveed over a Scorcher only to see him not even in the side within 2 or 3 rounds, he's still a very inexperienced young kid at the end of the day, find it hard to see him picked over the names that have got them deep in tournaments for years, becomes a question of which 5 bowlers you think they are most likely to pick game to game, I don't think they'll leave DC or Patterson out personally.

Everyone is expendable, so do not grow too attached to players and scores given the fickle nature of T20. If the order of scores was reversed for Clarke, would you still be as keen to hold through his bye?
I would be very cautious about selecting Hatz given you already own Agar. Do you expect the pitches to be spin friendly for RD2 and that the pace options for the Scorchers all struggle? Do you intend to hold any Scorchers bowlers past RD2 and would you be confident in fielding Hatz if necessary or that he is selected in RD3? In your situation is the cash saved essential in funding other or future moves? Seems like a low upside, high risk move.
Will be very interesting to see what coaches decide to do with their Thunder players and presents a great opportunity to exploit the Sunk Cost fallacy.
Out: J Clarke, R Rossouw and T Rogers
In: S Billings, A Tye (via A Agar) and A Lyth
Should be a solid option given your thoughts above

What a wild first round. Ended up rank 2385 with a score of 1145. Could've been much better.
Was looking great after the first two games having dodged Clarke and starting Short, Farooqi and Green but ended up being a pretty average round. Shattered I didn't end up with NCN after having him for WEEKS. Was looping Roussow and Gilkes so only ended up with one of their scores on field. Was considering A Agar to CDG to avoid looping Rossouw but didn't go through with it. Wouldn't have changed much.
Current trade plans (already have Inglis, Tye and A Agar from round 1):
M Short -> Faf
C Lynn - > Lyth
Deciding between C Green/Hales/Farooqi -> Jhye
OR
Start Inglis E and if he scores well do C Green/Hales/Farooqi -> Billings via Gilkes to prepare for next round.
Not sure what to do with Hales/Gilkes/Stoin/Rossouw in the coming rounds. Will loop Rossouw again and hope for something better, field Wade if Rossouw does nothing again.

Pretty hard to justify trading Rashid when his next two are a Thunder side that just got knocked over for 15 and will inevitably have some mental scars and Heat who he averages 100 against though which is probably why I'll end up keeping him, guy of his quality is dominating those matchups more often than not.
