I run some fantasy cricket with a fairly unique scoring system for my mates. Scoring is for the entire season and as follows
BATTING: Runs x Strike Rate / 100
BOWLING: wickets = 20pts with an economy bonus of 1pt for every run under 12 an over you concede. i.e figure of 2 for 30 off four overs is 58pts total.
FIELDING: 10pts a catch, 20pts a stumping.
Everyone gets a budget of $200 to buy 10 players, most points wins. We also run a few draft comps with the same scoring
Anyway, Im just wondering what people think of the various Best XIs.
So far I have as below (this was done a week ago just before the Nabi signing, have missed other changes). Have Nabi instead of Fraser-McGurk for Renegades.
Bryant/Bazley/Kuhnemann are in red since they are ineligible for one of my comps for personal records (signed too late to be eligible).
Green = pace
blue = spin
Lighter colours for part time options that likely won't bowl 3+ overs a game.

Any help appreciated.
The Hobart team is definitely the best XI players from the current squad but I think it might be hard to play those 5 bowlers together given that none of them can really bat. Ellis can slog a few but an #8 at best. I think Hobart would be hoping to sign an all rounder with their last international slot. Otherwise one player from the squad you don't have listed is Josh Kann. I haven't seen the guy play but looking through his career he started out as a bowling all rounder but has recently really improved significantly as a big hitting batsman. If you want a cheap option for the bench for the fantasy team he might be it. He would solve that structure problem if they could get 4 overs between him and Short. Hobart have been awful with the international signings over the years but those fringe state / grade players they have done well with Short, Ellis, David so will look forward with interest to see if Kann gets a game or not.
