Big Bash Fantasy - Round 2

[Krujan]

Scored a mediocre 613 points in Rd 1 AND lost to arch nemesis Jiska in a league game.

I pity the fools who are scheduled to play my 22 man Rd2 team though.

 

[Jiska]

SNAP. Was just about to create this thread.

Holy * on your Round 2 team. I thought my 9 x double points were good.

Lucky for you, Gingy, Round 1 wasn't a league match - just head to head. And to think I had Maddison sitting on my bench

 

[Jiska]

Tossed up between Behrendorff and Arafat - chose the latter.

My round 2 team:

 

[Jiska]

OH BANG..



Ranked 4042. Pretty much season over already - long way back from here. Maddison you *.

Solid Jiska, just letting you know that both Hogg and NCN won't be playing tonight. Hogg should be back for the second game, NCN still a couple of weeks away apparently.

Shut up!

 

[fantasyunit]

Don't want to throw the cat amongst the pigeons too much, but the Hobart forecast for tomorrow nights game is not looking great. Sixers and Hurricanes affected.

 

[Cudi]

Will probably start Luderman just going to wait for pregame to see where Whiteman bats.

Wellllllll *. Thanks for letting me know, better than making a mad scramble just before the game.

Pretty frustrating given I put Hogg in my initial team for this week specifically - now he's a waste

 

[Jiska]

Annnnnd the Scorchers have no other ALR except NCN

Ashton Turner, played every game last year.

Could go Henriques instead for Double Points.

Actually, could go Kallis too.

Made three trades this week.

OUT: Pieterson IN: Carberry
OUT: Burns IN: Maddinson
OUT: Christian IN: Kallis

Have put the C on Carberry. Hopefully he'll go big in at least one innings

You can (reasonably) safely have a double dip at the C score this week with 2 teams playing twice. VC a Scorcher tonight, if he has a huge game put the C on a bye player otherwise put the C on a Sixers player tomorrow night.

Yeah I think I will. VC on Carberry for both games. If he spuds up, I'll put the C on Kallis. If he scores well I'll make Wright captain

Yeah those top scores really put our mid 600 scores into perspective. Like scoring about 1500 in the opening SC round. It's a lot of ground to make up in just 7 rounds.

But how many of the top players have overloaded on Stars players?

Rd2 team.

Not necessarily, last year I was ranked like 5k after the 1st round. 1k at the 1/2 way mark, then came home with a wet sail & ended up 38th overall. Got monster scores in the finals when most spudded up.

That's true. This week is perfect for the loophole. Not sure I'll be using it though. If I go ahead with my original plan to replace my 3 Stars with Scorchers/Sixers then I almost certainly won't have a non-starter for the loophole. The option would be to bring in a Heat player instead, probably Lyle, as they have the next double header. Tricky decision.

That sounds a bit more hopeful.
The Stars are making a habit of causing people to spud up.
