1,037 - Overton
19 SI (55 average)
Rank = 1,277

Poor decision and trade on Jhye & Morris especially with Rogers, Renshaw & Sutherland on the bench.

Rank slightly drifted from 110 out to 156

Same here, waiting on Abbott & McKenzie news
Probable trades at this stage:
Couch for Stonis
Morris for ?BS/SS Ben Dwarshuis
Droff for ? BS/SS Kerr
I've decided to keep Connolly

Surprised to jump up to 696 in the rankings but made some horrible decisions. I should've fielded Stoinis and kept Zampa on the bench. Ended up trading Turner back to Brown and Zampa to Salzmann for a 0 to loop Stoinis. Didn't realise how bad Salzmann was as a loop option for the rest of the year though.

Positives for the round - Trading Jhye instead of Curran, Overton, Connolly, Dorff, Rogers, M Short not dropping in price nearly as much as I thought he would

Negatives for the round - Fielding Konstas over Philippe, VC Matt Short, not going with Turner/Renshaw who I had for long periods of time.

Have four DGR players for round 3 (Edwards, Philippe, Stoin, Curran). I think I will need to do Short to Maxi and pass on Hosein/Bartlett to look for cheaper options. Glad I have a few days to think it over!

Congrats to those at the top and have a good Christmas everyone.

Tough decision for us with Connolly and Dorf. Both have incredible roles.

Connolly batting top 3 you’d expect stays the same after his performances, and looks a fair chance of bowling each game, particularly when away from Perth.

On the other hand, Dorf has perhaps the best bowling role in the competition, upfront, surge and death. Almost feels like it’s inevitable he gets a wicket in the power play. Fields in good spots too.

Certainly no rush to sell Connolly if you don't need to , interesting to see what they do with him when Hardie returns.

Was super impressed with how he built that Innings last night (that partnership with Spoors certainly put them back in the game)

Hey lads, hope everyone is well
my team post trades and photo of my trades not too sure what else I can really do other than what I’ve done, what you guys do anything different ?

VC option will be key for the upcoming round

So many options available

Monitor the Abbott situation

How did I do here?

Do you know when typically the availability of test squad players is known? I have both Abbott and Jhye. Can trade both for DGRs but have Dorf too and prefer to trade him instead of one of them to maximize capital in play.

No idea what they are planning to do.

I don't understand why they need 2 backup Quicks in the first place.

Wait and see what happens is all we can do.

Looks pretty good to me. Just make sure you have a way back to Seifert for Rd4.

Munro and Dwarshius or Renshaw and Bartlett?

Caught a bit between BEs and DGRs. I am going DGRs but it is getting very difficult cash wise. Having to trade Sutherland out this round unfortunately - need to find a way back to him in Rd 4.

Current trades:
Sutherland> Maxwell
Connolly> Edwards
Konstas> Renshaw
Weatherald> McSweeney

Anyone know how long Weatherald is out for?

Probably the second option. With the first one you are praying Dwarshius doesn't dismiss Munro, yet still gets wickets - kind of lowers the odds of both doing well.

Allen as your flex is an interesting choice, as he's most likely not going to score enough to cover your lowest scorer. If you do have any trades I'd trade him or move to the bench, but depends if you want to trade a Gade out. Otherwise, move him onfield and use a player with a higher ceiling to cover your lowest scorer?

Trading or benching Allen is sensible but switching him to another position on-field makes no difference.
