Discussion BBL|12: Teams & In Game Discussion: Congrats Diabolical B2B Champion

Just double thinking Shadab Khan’s role now. Zak Crawley is finishing his intl duties on 21st dec. Once he’s back, Zak should open with Short, pushing Mcd to 3 and Wade to 4. By the time shadab comes to crease, it might be 15-17th over, where it makes sense to send Tim david ahead of shadab. Ending up shadab doing only bowling role. 🤔 I was thinking Dorff vs shadab this round, might now go for the former. Pls feel free to share, if any differential thoughts.
Could you potentially defer the Stoinis and/or Webster moves? No price move this round (Stoinis' DPP may even be handy?) and there may be someone else that will go up in cash, possibly even someone you may want next round anyway?
I am considering the same trade, but there doesn't seem to be much urgency to do it this round. We may know more about Stoin's health then as well.

Welcome aboard!
The one aspect I'm a bit unsure of is Mujeeb/Dorf.
Mujeeb is a c. 50 average player in BBL historically and priced below that. He plays Thunder (bowled out for 15), Heat (historically abominable against spin, albeit with significant personnel changes this year), then Hobart (ave 67 against them, albeit a small sample of 4) and a double (Sixers x 2 - not ideal, but he gets two shots at it, and averages 48 against them).
Dorf seemed to often lose overs last year, and as a somewhat more containing than wicket-taking bowler, it's more important that he bowls 3 to be eligible for that ER bonus. Last season his over counts were: 2, 4, 4, 2, 4, 4, 4, 4, 2, 2, 3, 2.5, 3.5. That's only 7 games of 3.5 or more, with 5 games of <3. He did quite well to take 16 wickets (albeit he still lost overs despite taking those wickets), but I wonder if he's nailed on for 8 overs this double or not. Scorchers also play the Sixers and Hurricanes, who are strong sides (equal favourite and third favourite to win the BBL) ... the Scorchers draw actually opens up a lot after that, but I suspect Dorf is someone that won't be held that long anyway. His domestic form is decent (see below), but I wonder if you can't get better value out of that trade.

Trying to crack the PS XI
Lyth
Bancroft
Faf
Ingilis
Turner
Hardie
A Agar
Jhye (1st match)/Kelly (2nd match
Tye
Dorff
Hatz
Looking at this line up, with PS playing with a day’s gap, am fairly certain that Jhye will be rotated with Kelly, making both a SGR players. Thereby making Hatz JS stronger. With his terrific form, guessing he will be given a long run. Now thinking Agar, Dorff and/or Hatz + Neser(if I go for 2 PS players). Thoughts?

Keep Zampa if you can. 50+ player with a negative BE.
Two other options would be (1) trading Lynn, who I don't see a particular reason to keep over Zampa, or (2) seeing how Inglis goes tonight, and potentially trading Clarke instead, swinging Gilkes up to WK1.
For me (1) would be preferred. There may be other good options.
