I'm going with Agar.
Partly on numbers.
Sams' averages over the last few seasons with the most recent first: 61.8, 65.2, 68.5 and 59.1.
Notice the slow decline? [Not that it necessarily means that much.]
If he hits his average he will score 130-odd over his two games.
Agar needs 58 to do that.
Partly on the old saying "a bird in the hand ...."
And partly on a trust in cricket abiliity. I see Sams as a reasonably skillful but ultimately very lucky T20 player whereas Agar is good enough to play for Australia.
As a bit of a purist, I'll back ability over luck any time.
N.B. Although if you trust the SC projections you'd go with Sams: 167 to Agar's 131.

Not saying you're wrong, and I tend to follow "a bird in the hand" type thinking myself.
Just interesting that you use averages to "exclude" Sams, but never looked at Agar's averages.
As you say, he needs 58 to hit Sams averages projected score.
Agar SC history:
21/22 = 55.5
20/21 = DNP
19/20 = 35.9
18/19 = 46.3
17/18 = 43.7
So if you're basing it on past/recent averages, Sams would be you're pick!
Personally, I'm locking in Tye, who didn't score much more than Agar anyway.

Scorchers struggled with Naveed last night, so you’d likely field Zampa against them tbh
And yeah Farooqi is hard with no more DGR. Exceeded all expectations but if you can make 60k getting him to a Swepson on his DGR, who then slide to the bench thereafter, I don’t think it’s a bad move personally. Should then ensure you can hold Sams and get Hales, Rossouw etc to good players

Was just looking at his historical average v the Scorchers.
Think their Round 3 game is on the Junction Road
Although apparently Zampa is starting to bowl balls that turn.
Hoping to turn :-
Farooqi - > Steketee - > MR/SS bowler (not Abbott or Richardson yet)
Green - > Swepson - > probably then becomes Mujeeb
Hales - > ??? , might be Peirson 😱 depending on $$$
Can hold Sams but he probably has to go around Round 5 in any case so if I have to fast track him I will
Bringing in Turner may have been a mistake if he bleeds too much money.

Personally quite keen on Bazley and he’s one of my locked in spots. Good score in round 1 and took death with Steketee. Expecting that to continue with Neser up front and through the middle. Bazley, Neser + one of their bats is my current thinking. Not sure if I’ll boost for a 4th. Leaning no but Kuhnemann cash is one I’ll contemplate.
He’s probably gone for me. I’ll want to hold my scorchers vs stars. Rashid as well. Then I’ll want Sixers/gades like abbott, Hosein, Mujeeb, Richo, Naveen so really limited for spots on that bowling line.
