Stars having 2 doubles in the first 3 weeks & their bye not until round 8 makes the likes of Maxwell, Curran & Webster appealing - I assume all will have DP also
Stars, Strikers and Gades will be very popular as all three will have 2 DGRs compared to the rest. Thunder & Canes will be popular later on towards the back half.

I liked my original fixture better as DGRs were more spread out lol.

I liked it too. It’s going to be fun (and challenging) to fit in all these high priced players early rounds. Going to be some very tough decisions made with our starting teams.

Double look DGR Loops.

Rnd 1 - Stars play both DGR games before the Canes play.

Rnd 2 - Strikers play both DGR games before the Gades play. Complicated by Gades heading into a Rnd 3 bye, followed by Rnd 4 DGR.

Rnd 6 - Thunder play both DGR games before Stars/Sixers play.

It's always nice to see both scores in a DGR round, and having the ability to loop them out, if necessary.

There might be just enough value on offer to pull off starting Maxwell and Short... but jeez it's a big early decision! Not much leeway if you get it wrong either, all else being equal the big scores (and hence big swings) are likely to end after round 4...

Starting with Short might come down to whether early loops come off or miss.

With 2 DGRs early he might be difficult to bring in if he isn't started. Team structure will be pretty key.. if he doesn't look like he'll get the overs then that price for a batter is risky.. but if the overs are there his ceiling is too good to pass up with 6 games in the first 4 rounds

Depends who they have available, if theres Allen, at least one of Pope/Boyce plus Overton and the bowlers I'm going to have alot of trouble justifying paying 300k+ for him.

Be fascinating to see how people prepare for the first few rounds (once the Game actually opens and we can start playing around for weeks and weeks looking at different combos)

Hopefully MR & MS (Harper & Steketee again 😢 ) give us enough value options to maybe start some AS & PS on the bench or do we look at BH & SS ?

Decision will need to be made on whether to start (or wait on Short) but then how do we get the likes of Overton (if cleared to bowl) , Lynn , Hardie , Behrendorff etc etc for Round 2 ?

Agar , Inglis , Morris , Richardson , Tye all in the mix + Finn Allen.

Can't see 3 higher priced Renegades getting them easily enough though so may need to start a load of cash in the Bank.

Stars with another double in Round 3 so pointless trading out Maxwell & Webster (probably Curran as well) then trading them back in.

Round 3 might want Duckett (wouldn't surprise me if the ECB pulls him out) + the likes of Bartlett , Hosein , Walter , Neser etc......who pays for them ?

Trade Short out and then back in again for Round 4 double 🤔

Either Bailey/McDonald said the Test Squad (hopefully it's only a 13 man Squad again) is being announced after the first Australia A game so might give us some indication if they include any of Hardie , Inglis , Webster etc

PCB is close to announcing their white ball squads for the Australian & Zimbabwe legs of the 3 country tour so will know the status of Usama.

Bring it on , so the (over) planning and thinking can begin 🤗
