2017-2018 KFC Big Bash League Fantasy Competition

Voges suspended

What a bust for this round he has been. Won't even be able to upgrade him to anyone decent.

 

[JC Hawks]

Yep same here. Had him from the start when I decided to pick him over Cartwright :/. Only held him until now for the DGW this week.

 

[grimlock]

Tough team to pick now.

Might go in something like this...

1. Denly
2. Hughes
3. Maddinson
4. Henriques
5. Silk
6. Brathwaite
7. Botha
8. Nevill
9. Dwarshuis
10. Lyon
11. Bird

12. Abbott
13. Sams

When you put it like that, I think they'll keep Abbott - for some reason they love him - plus with Henriques not bowling they probably want 6 bowling options.

I’d have both Sams & Abbott ahead of Bird

As a Sixers fan I’m thinking maybe having Brathwaite open would be good. Big strong hitter of the ball with most fielders inside the circle

Might invest him for the double game next round
What is everyone doing with Captains. Khan and Bravo are my only other choices with Watto VC with a 37 on the board, but possible rain in the second match.

 

[Aussie_boy]

The forecast is rubbish for Alice Springs as well

 

[Aussie_boy]

Captain Agar with 3/19 off his 4 overs.

My captain doing something

 

[Reign Man]

Captain Agar with 3/19 off his 4 overs.

Klinger as captain turned out to be a massive * up. Thought it was a safe bet

 

[happy_eagle]

Voges, Turner, Ingram all very poor this round.
Agar and Cartwright holding things together

 

[toxic]

793 all out
Captain Watson fails
10 dgers this round

Will vc either short or mcdermott
Henriques as captain back ip if required

 

[Cotchy9]

Mclengahan to Archer
Nair to Denly/Wade
Or
Agar to Archer
Nair to Maxwell

Like getting the 2 DG players, but don't have any stars players for next week, but would also rather trade Mclenaghan than Agar haha

 

[grimlock]

Two games from Peirson or one from Carey?

 

[Cotchy9]

Two games from Peirson or one from Carey?

I'm debating this too. Carey been getting 50+ every game. Don't know if Pierson can get that over 2 games unless he opens

 

[toxic]

Pierson

 

[happy_eagle]

Henriques seems an interesting option for next round if he continues to bowl and bat at 4.

 

[Mitchell54]

Roy does **** all for the Sixers then gets almost triple of what he did for us in 6 innings in 1 innings for England.

I liked Billing’s though

Glad he’s gone. I like Brathwaite & Denly

Weather

Monday Hobart - Hurricanes v Heat. Partly cloudy. Slight (30%) chance of a shower early this morning.
Tuesday Melbourne - Stars v Sixers. Mostly sunny.
Wednesday Adelaide - Strikers v Hurricanes. Sunny.
Thursday Sydney - Sixers v Heat. Hot and mostly sunny.

 

[Cotchy9]

Agar to Maxwell
Or
Mclenaghan to Wade/McDermott/Cutting?

Got 7 DG players before this trade

 

[grimlock]

Mclenaghan to Wade/McDermott/Cutting?

Only thing I will say is that Cutting's worth has gone up now that he's bowling regularly again.

I'd trade Mclenaghan. There aren't that many Stars worth considering for DGR next round, I don't even have any at the moment, I'll just trade 3 in. Out of the players you've listed I'd go Cutting but consider Henriques if you don't have him.

 

[Aussie_boy]

I've even made him VC

 

[grimlock]

What's Brathwaite like in T20? He seems more a bowling all-rounder than a batting one?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

What's Brathwaite like in T20? He seems more a bowling all-rounder than a batting one?

Definitely a batting all-rounder.

The difference between the IPL and the BBL becomes apparent when he closes the innings for his side. Wouldn't often get more than a few overs at most for the Daredevils each match he plays.

 

[grimlock]

I also have Somerville but he's unlikely to get games now that Lyon is back in the Sixers team.

He's not in the 13 man squad

 

[grimlock]

Gannon in for Labuschagne means they have 5 bowlers besides Cutting now
