Big Bash League Fantasy

How are you all tracking? I'm doing shit! I cant catch a break and am making all kids of terrible decisions

Sitting around 2k. Nothing flash.

Playing this for the first time after some mates made a league last minute.

Sitting around 2k at the moment as well.

Also sitting around 2k. Hoping this round is where I make my move though, 8 players with a captain to play in tonight's game! ....Now watch them all score 8!

Ah, she is a cruel, cruel game, the BBLSC
Anyone else get caught out with Darcy Shorts 3?
Imagine the pandemonium is Cameron Smith scored single digits!

Yep, I have Short. Not too bothered though

Out everyday of the week!

Coming 13th at the moment and the pressure is on. The manager running first has dropped back a bit
so its trade in 3 Strikers and hope for the best next round. I am buying Travis Head as he may be a differential because of his price and not playing this season of Big Bash so far.

I passed on D Short because he was playing at Etihad. A great decision as it turns out.

Some of my other decisions, not so good...

Still sitting high 1000s. Had 6 DGW players in the round just finished but most scored pretty poorly.

5 Strikers for this week. Hoping Head can continue the tradition of test players coming back to BBL and going well this year (handscomb, finch, siddle (sort of, he was iwth the squad)).

Moved up into the 900s after that round.

Moved into the 800s.
But also brought in Matt Short for his 1 point because I needed a Striker.
Such a terrible trade in hindsight. It was his third score of 1 and he's only scored above 16 once.

What the hell am I thinking? You know who scored well? EVERY OTHER STRIKER!
I legit could have thrown a dart!

I did the same..... VOMIT

Screwed up royally at the finish line.

Got down to rank 120 and was stoked, final round of the season so loaded up with Stars players for their DGW

Had 7 players combine for 56 points.

I will be lucky if i'm still top 1000 at lockout X_X

Clinging on to 9th position. Cutting and Bryant on the bench hurt but I was never going to play Bryant.
Dithered between Cutting and Archer and went the wrong way.

Good luck mate!

I've had a stinker with this format. I've realised I hate BBL and cant find any motivation to do any research. Just going through the motions so as not to leave my team as a ghost ship. I find no connection with the Sydney franchises or players and there seems to be plenty of games that are a bit 'suspicious'.

With NFL and NBA I found a bit of passion for them (teams/players etc) and that translated into effort. Zero here

Anyway.... lesson learned! I cant just rock up to any format, put in zero effort and expect a good outcome.

Thanks Verbal, I am not a stats man but watch every game ( some woeful ), try and make coin and have as many bowlers on the field that I can get away with.

Good luck for another brilliant season in NRL Fantasy and may you outdo last year's effort.
