My last bowling choice came down to either a future DGR player or a money-maker
I decided to go for a money-maker and as I like going with "unknown" OS bowlers the choice was between Hosein and Naveed.
I went with Hosein for a couple of reasons: recent form; age - 29 v 19; experience - as far as I could find out Naveed has almost no non-Afghanistan experience.
I almost had both, but had to offload one for a loop player as Sandhu went great guns. I watched this video leading up to the Sixers game and locked in Naveed. Was impressed with his wrongun, which is generally something Aussie bats do not play well.

$40k was what swayed me.

But I like your thinking. This sort of info is what I need before rounds.

I'm surprised Hosein is in only 1.3% of teams.
His recent results have been good.
Abu Dhabi T10: 8 innings - 15 overs - 10/93 - 6.20 ER
WI T20 2022: 6 innings - 24 overs - 9/150 - 6.25 ER
WI T20 2021: 11 innings - 42 overs - 13/207 - 4.92 ER
Spewing about picking Behrendorff over him now, he’ll probably outscore Behrendorff as well even without a double.

I am banging on about wicketkeepers, but it was the conundrum that had many of us stumped what to do pre season.

After 3 games they are 7/167 = 23.85 PSI with a top score of 58

Clarke or Gilkes owners who didn’t loop them out might get the last laugh yet … unless McDermott or Wade waltz in and slam a Royal flush on the table!

That's what I'm banking on. @The Banker 😉 hope you haven't changed your mind?

In all honesty half the people playing wouldn't have a clue who is is.

I guess focusing on the early fixtures not many would have MR/SS on their radar.

Guess so.
I focused on the early DGRs too but thought it would be handy to have a money-maker from MR/SS as they have the next DGR and no byes between.
As I should be able to have 11/11/6 for the DGRs, having one non-DGR player isn't an issue.
[Mind you, that's using 8 trades over the next two rounds.]
