KFC - BBL

[doddy2731]

Guys, I think I'll opt out this year, sorry. It might pay for me to concentrate on NBL DT. I'm not much chop at BBL anyway. I'll definitely be watching the games though! Good luck

Heard your tracking well Keffa, good luck.

If we only have 4 definite starters and those 4 are keen I think let's just run with the 4.

4 team league code : 530897

If we get more interest I can simply create a second league with 8 teams.

I'm in.

There is word that there a couple of fixtures floating around but this is all i can find at the moment. If you have seen or know if this isn't correct please post is.

 

[TwentyThree]

Hmm, reckon I've seen a different one somewhere, will look into it. Thanks for making us aware that there may be a couple floating about.

 

[doddy2731]

Yeah I think I might just go through and write one up of my own. There's only 8 main rounds not 22. lol I shouldn't be so lazy.

 

[doddy2731]

The only difference I can see with the one above to mine is the Stars start with a double, everything else seems to be OK.

 

[TwentyThree]

I'm in.

I'm in too - 1 more spot to fill!

So bloody Voges deciedes to turn it on, so looks like i'm up for a new batter.

 

[TwentyThree]

So here's a very raw draft of what my team looks like right now...

Bats: Kallis, KP, Watto (I feel dirty), Lumb, Maddinson (Finch, Burns)
WK: Haddin (Peirson)
Bowlers: Hastings, Faulkner, Sandhu, Bird, Abbott (Rainbird, Paris)

Pretty heavily weighted to Sixers (2 doubles in first 4 rounds) & Stars / Thunder (doubles first-up, but followed by a bye). Having 6 Stars / Thunder guys means I'm committed to trading a couple after week 1, putting the other 4 on the bench. Doesn't leave much wiggle room for injuries / omissions, so I need to think about that bit.

Reckon this 'keeper set up is strong - 3 doubles between them in the first 4 weeks.

Still not totally sure about the new all-rounder rules work?

I think he'll play the first coupla games...tho Perth have a bye then a single, might not be worth it anyway.

Apparently, if they are an all-rounder they score for each position.

 

[doddy2731]

My line up at this stage is looking like this-

Bat - Watson(i too feel dirty), Maxwell, Maddinson, White, Finch (Wells & Ross)

Keeper - Hiddin (Paine)

Bowlers - Faulkner, Botha, Richarson, Cutting, Bird (Hopes & Gulbis)

I'm also using a few Sixers and Stars but looking at a couple of long term picks with Strikers and Hurricanes to give me a little more moving room trade wise with Strikers having no byes and Hurricanes having theirs in R8.

 

[doddy2731]

I see we still have 1 possie left @Hondo, and @TwentyThree. Do you guys know anyone that may want to have a go?

 

[the cranky one]

prefer to watch line marking dry than this so called comp.

 

[Dino]

If you still have 1 spot guys, I will jump in if thats ok.

 

[Hondo]

If you still have 1 spot guys, I will jump in if thats ok.

Yep hop in!

 

[TwentyThree]

3 trades per week available in this format, or two?

 

[TwentyThree]

My latest team...

Watto (C), KP, Stoinis, Lumb, Maddinson (Willey, Finch).
Haddin (Peirson)
Hastings, Faulkner, Sandhu, Bird, Abbott (O'Keefe, Paris)

All my starting players on doubles. Gotta be careful to ensure I've got enough trades / bench players to have a full team the next week, but I think I've got it straight.

 

[doddy2731]

3 trades per week available in this format, or two?

Straight from BBL - You can make unlimited trades on entry then 3 trades during each of the first 7 Trade Periods up to a maximum of 21, and unlimited trades for the final two Trade Periods (before the Semi Finals and Big Final).

 

[doddy2731]

I've loaded up with 6's, 6 games in 4 rounds it's hard not to, just hope these selections will be a little bettert than my Kickert trade in NBLDT.
