BBL|12: Combined SCS Team
- Thread starter Ironhawk
- Start date
No way to loop Shadab. 
I thought predictions were the match should avoid most of the rain, guess we'll see. Can't always rely on forecasts. I see the toss has been delayed, hopefully that's all.

The only exception could be some sort of trade update, but we’d need to weigh that up.
Maybe switch Stoin and Shadab to preserve the option, and if Shadab goes super low we can assess.
Time to start thinking about Rd 4 trade targets, now we have a bit more info on the two teams with the Rd 5 double.
Based on the tables that Tails provides, I've listed potential targets here - any averaging 40+, plus a few other notables. Price and BE will be approximately right.
Rogers: Av 70, BE 11, $171,100
Maddinson: Av 58, BE 122, $172,900
Finch: Av 50, BE -6, $140,700
Mujeeb: Av 34, BE 22, $102,900
Richardson: Av 30, BE 79, $148,000
Kerr: Av 69, BE -25, $164,200
Abbott: Av 53, BE 120, $192,800
Silk: Av 52, BE 25, $120,700
Philippe: Av 40, BE 45, $139,000
Naveed: Av 64, BE -19, $108,000 (From 2 matches)
Bird and Murphy also qualify as a 40+ average, but have only played once each.
From BE and average, Rogers, Finch and Kerr appear the priorities (if we want them). Naveed would be too, but him missing tonight is a big concern - I thought Murphy was quite good as his replacement. Just need to work out how to afford them - we will need to see how our Heat players go tomorrow.

Maybe a different way to do it, but should we do a poll about which 3 players to trade out? That will at least give us an idea of budget and that might help shape priorities. We spent a fair bit of time debating the outs last round, and it’s hard to lock in the best trade ins when we don’t know the budget etc.
If we lock in the 3 outs, set the budget, and then we can work on combinations from there. Might also throw up some obvious ones in terms of field positions (keepers etc).

Our messages overlapped a bit (I type slow). I did list the 10 I thought were the most likely targets, but Herbie has mentioned a few I didn't include who are definite possibilities. Guptill I could definitely see going well, Henriques and Vince are out of form but could go alright, Jordan burned me previously, but others may rate him more.
Happy to hear other's thoughts on who to choose.

Based on BE's only
Round 5 looks like :-
Philippe 45 , Richardson 75 & Abbott 120
Hopefully Hosein does get DPP so we have 2 Bowl spots left
Agree totally that we need to know who we are going to trade OUT in Round 4 and what budget we have , no use picking players to trade in if we can't afford them.
Fortunately Jordan , Naveed & Mujeeb are relatively cheap.
I don't have Rogers on my radar (can see the appeal) and Kerr with DPP looks a must have trade in for Round 4.

Some good suggestions above. Two games tomorrow before R4 starts, do we do the ins tomorrow and the outs on Saturday, eg? Or vice versa?
I feel like the outs will generally be from a fairly clear pool straight after a DGR. Most of the Heat will go, although @Herbie66 broader list of outs is good to consider for similar BE reasons to our ins.

I’m a bit conflicted, on the one hand it would be good to know the 6 guys we want to target, but then if we can’t find the coin we could end up going around in circles.
I agree with Herbie's list in terms of must trade, could trade, etc.
Maybe it's as simple as playing the BE game.. try and match the highest BE outs to the lowest BE ins? Could weaken as a tad for the round 4 SGR but lets not get stuck chasing perfection!

Rd 4 starts 3:30 PM on Saturday.
I do have some family Christmas stuff planned on Saturday, so this time is not ideal for me. It'd be good if we can have a fair idea tomorrow night what we'll be doing.
Personally, I see no reason to hold any of our Heat players, and I also don't think it's a great round to boost, so trade outs seem fairly easy to me. I agree that BE's will also play a part, and that we may be better off trading Rashid over Neser for example, but we won't know this until after tomorrow's matches (today's actually, it's just passed midnight). If this doesn't get us enough cash for three suitable trade ins, I'd be surprised, but I'm sure we can sort out something suitable easily enough.

I agree I don’t think we need to boost this round.
In terms on trade ins, I think we prioritise Mujeeb, Kerr and Philippe.
Mujeeb - playing at BA I think he could score on and a low BE means it’s good timing.
Kerr - negative BE, get him while we can in case he pops again and becomes too expensive.
Philippe - ~45 BE, likely to hover at the same value but is a lock in terms in players we’d want so means we have that one out of the way.
I’d put forward:
Steketee to Kerr
Swepson to Mujeeb
Tye or Rashid to Philippe
Assuming DPP swings make that possible..
Abbott and KRicho have high enough BEs to wait a week to get both. Means we have longer to debate the 6 (or boosted 7th players.
