Bad round, dropped from 250th to 803rd. But we soldier on. 5 doubles already this week and looking to add 4 more

Short to Maxwell
Richardson to Dwarshuis
Weatherald to Mcsweeney
Konstas to Spencer Johnson

Is Johnson back? If not might have to go someone else or trade a Fergus to get an Abbott or the like
They interviewed him during the Heat game , said he bowled the previous day and was then going to bowl the next day (which would now be yesterday) , will travel with the team on Christmas Day.

Has a "angry" third toe

Considering taking Owen for cash generation over a cheap Heat player on the DGR. The extra cash might be good at the back end of the season.?

Rain in Brisbane Sunday.????

Mc Sweeny for Zampa Trade 1 via duals.

Next is Harper or Philippe, looking at Philippe for the remainder of the season, as i prefer Sutherland over Siefert for the DGR, but the extra cash for Harper trade may be useful for Short for his DGR week 4. Really nervous now he goes large this week.

Do you hold Webster if he is released to play DGR, thinking i need to and just hope sanity finally prevails at the stars selection table and he bats up the order and gets some overs. Pure insanity at how the stars are using Webster.

Two many high price players on the board i cannot afford. Looking at the leading teams, they much better structure moving forward. Need some luck with cheapies over the next 2 rounds.

Lol, thanks. Wish I was sneaky enough to actually be able to sneak him in twice. Edited
I thought the Sixers must have signed Mickey up as a OS replacement player 🤗

Although then I just read he retired in October due to a recurring foot injury.

Wonder how many VC Jack Edwards ?

Not sure on my Ins until I know what is happening with Abbott & McKenzie

Connolly - > ?
Richardson - > ?

are probably 2 outs

VC a MS/SS player so might need a BH premium as a backup C option

decisions , decisions

then need to make sure I have enough 💰 for Seifert (?) , M Short & Sutherland for DGR 4

Unless Webster is bowling 4 overs, I'm not sure he's a buy (unless they move him up the order). Stoinis seems to have taken the role (and is doing ok at it).

Milne out, does he get replaced by a Couch/Paris type? Or play 2 spinners and make up the pace overs with the allrounders?

Long term forecast looks a bit iffy, but this far out it probably not worth too much consideration.

If he’s names at 3 even with Patterson available, and Sean Abbott isn’t in their squad due to Aus duties, I reckon a fair few will

Essendon
1,114 Connolly @ 58.6PSI

Rank up to 260 from 719 so happy with how the season is tracking so far.

Really pleased with Connolly turning things around for his second game. Supported well by my only other two playing last night in Turner and Sutherland.

I would love to keep Connolly, but he needs to go to get my preferred trade targets. Short will also go despite it costing me a score involvement over the next two rounds. Still hoping to get to 19 doubles over the next two rounds before injuries or Cricket Australia upset things.

Great to see so many SCS names at the pointy end of the leaderboard. Let’s hope you all keep it going into the new year.

Have a safe and merry Christmas everyone!

I wonder how many VC Maxy? Playing at the SCG against the Sixers who don't have that expresses bowler and then the Thunder who have 2 spinners.

Wonder who they replace Abbott with (if not released) , Bird or Kerr or Perry ?

Interesting that they picked Shaw and not Kerr when Patterson was ruled out with illness

Dwarshuis or Edwards or Hosein as VC or even Maxwell 🤔

Going to be some massive decisions this round

So if this is the Test XI

Khawaja
Konstas
Labuschagne
Smith
Head (?)
Marsh (?)
Carey
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Boland

Does Webster get released in time for both games of the DGR (or 1 game) ? and Inglis is the "spare" bat

Do they need to hold both Abbott & Richardson or is one of them going to play the Sydney Test ?

Other concern might be Stoinis annual Christmas break , does he play the Stars first game ?

Another few days of waiting for news
I don't think Stoinis takes that break anymore as he is now captain of the club, the uproar that would cause if it did happen while they continue to lose games.
