[Jiska]

Scorchers play twice (again)
Thunder have the bye.

 

[Jiska]

Still hasn't ticked over? What's the hold up?

Usually happens between 9 & 10.

 

[TN25]

I currently have 4 Scorchers (Harris, Klinger, Turner, Behrendorff)

I'm not sure if there are anymore I should get. Voges, Hogg maybe

I also have 4. I was planning on bringing one more in, but not sure I will now. If I have too many I won't be able to get them out quickly enough for Rd 7 which at this point is the round I'm planning to go really big.

 

[TN25]

C'mon Big Bash Fantasy. Hurry up and open the round

What an exciting life we all lead

Open.

 

[TN25]

Open.

Finally.

My score of 768 sat me 122nd for the round

 

[fantasyunit]

Jiska 85th for the round, GoAus up to 4th Overall!!

I'm up to 74th, lot of points to catch up though, 372.

 

[TN25]

I really don't have a clue who to trade out.

Considering bringing Dunk in for Wessels who hasn't done anything.

A bit risky but I also might trade Finch out.

Thoughts? fantasyunit

 

[GOAUS!]

Up to 4th overall! Slowly making my way up the leaderboard, look out if I can get my captains pick right!

Well done mate. We are all backing you.

Do you know what the prize is for winning the whole thing?

Cool $10K.

GOAUS! If I help you with your captain choice can you give me $1000?

I'll help everyone else out by putting up my kiss of death captaincy pick.

Dunk in for Wessels is probably a great choice with Hurricanes having the double in Rd 6. Finch out is also probably decent, he'll only play two more games, and while there is every chance he'll go big he also might not.

My trades are in disarray. Was banking on Kallis and Hilf losing value and Cummins at least holding his, but all 3 of things failed to happen due to the events of Rd 4. Might have to ditch my luxury trade of Abbott>Kallis and carrying 3 premo all-rounders through to the end Or just go super weak in my bowling for a couple of rounds. Annoying.

I've heard Glenn Maxwell is a good captaincy pick

Jesus. Even Supercoach only takes 2 hours after final game of the Round.

I think I'll do Wessels>Dunk. Then possibly Finch>Forrest and then and upgrade of Duffield/Zampa/Laughlin maybe

Was hoping for higher than 85, but shit, that's by best Round rank ever in any fantasy league so I'll take that. Up 1,300 spots to 472 which is a massive result after scoring only 240 in Round 3 and having a shocker. Back on track.

Huge effort GOAUS!

Okay, trades are looking like:

Abbott>Stoinis (Cash/Rd 8 usage)
Bollinger>Hogg
Cummins>Hilf (If Hilf doesn't play, Doherty or similar).

Really wanted to do Abbott>Kallis, but just can't quite justify it without weakening the rest of the team too much.

 

[TN25]

Lee>Hogg
Wessels>Dunk
Finch>??

To keep or to trade Finch?

I have 83k to spend but I could possibly do Lee>someone cheaper and go Finch>Bailey or I can do Finch>Head and stay with Hogg for his DGW. When do the Strikers have their bye?

Strikers have the bye next round and the double the round after. If I were you I'd go Finch to either Mussey or Simmons, you can afford to sit Mussey on the bench this week and play your two Heat & Scorchers, same rationale for Simmons next week.

Very happy with these trades:

Finch>Hussey
Wessels>Dunk
Lee>Hogg
