BBL Supercoach rate my team thread
Supercoach Big Bash Kicks off Tuesday night community.
I’ve spent some time coming to terms with the new Supercoach offering and it’s interesting. Very interesting.
The BIG arse challenge is managing the round structure. Get this right and you’re well on the way.
- We have 8 rounds for the season
- Some teams play twice in some rounds
- Teams have byes across the rounds
I plucked this table below of Trent Copeland’s article on the Daily Telegraph. A good read to help you get your head around things with double game rounds and the byes.
You’ll want to make sure you have a healthy spread of Strikers, 6ers and Thunderians in your squad for round 1.. but not so many that you restrict your effectiveness in other rounds.
Click here for more of a rundown on the scoring system and rules.
Predicted starting teams here (thanks to Kev)
Here’s my current squad community:
JOIN THE JOCK REYNOLDS BBL GROUP HERE AND LET’S HAVE A CRACK:
http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/bbl/classic/group?cic=546224
Still haven't quite wrapped my head around the BBL system here, but giving it a shot anyway – Cam White has been in scintillating form and I'm not going to wait for his price to rise, and young Sammy Harper is a must have – he's the cheapest player in the game and is ahead of Triffitt in the Stars' lineup with Handscomb on Test duties!
Finch/McCullum/Morgan/White Sangakkara
Russel/Marsh Faulkner
Haddin Harper
McKay/Pattinson/Johnson/Zampa Holland
If anyone does know what they're doing, pick my side apart please! Bloody difficult time of year for fantasy sports with everyone flocking to beaches or rivers or god knows where!
G'day Patch. Is that Jon Holland on your bench? He has stuffed his ankle and will miss
Dammit, he has too. Cheers, Kev! Mennie comes in
White a Walk up Starter for mine Patch, always a consistent run scorer and lock
Good overall squad, but you could have more players with double games this round.
Hey Patch, just so you know the Stars have a bye in the first round – so you'all need to swap Zampa out unfortunately!
Cheers Jezza!
Keen for this to get started.
Bats: Lynn, Roy, Morgan, Patterson (Sangakkara)
All-rounders: Head, Henriques (Botha)
WK: Haddin (Dunk)
Bowl: McKay, Richardson, Cutting, Cummins (Tremain)
$32,000 left over with Head and Richardson to be traded out after Round 1.
Looks good, jezza. Love the Roy and KPat selections. Maybe squeeze in a few spinners. They traditionally do better than quicks
Bat: G Bailey, B McCullum, J Roy, E Morgan, (K Sangakkara)
AR: Head, Bravo, (M Marsh)
WK: B Dunk, (J Peirson)
Bowl: S Narine, S Badree, B Laughlin, P Cummins, (A Tye)
RS: 8,700
This article might help a bit. Predicted XI for all teams.

Cheers Kev, saved my bacon. Good luck!
Cheers Kev
Great info mate.
Hi kev ,
Do you get Bench reserve points wen using VC/C loop..thanks
Bat: Lynn, Roy, Klinger, White (Sanga)
AR: Russell, Pollard (Nair)
WK: Hads (Dunk)
Bowl: Patto, Swepson, Cummins, Hogg (Sandhu)
Kev, Nair is not in the squad ,try Darcy Short ,Cheap and should open innings,cash injection from the bench ..
Also mate you are probably aware ,that 4 of your starters wont play next round ,,Hogg/Patto/Pollard/White..
But you have a balanced team ..
Good luck
Anyone going to do any loopholes? Since there is a rolling lockout and auto emergencies you can put Haddin on the bench who plays the first game and if he plays bad you can put someone like dunk onfield, but if Haddin plays well you can put Harper from the stars onfield who has a bye. This could also work for captains loophole.
Only problem there is you get a big fat donut. No emergencies.
Only works if you're going to get a donut anyway, but wouldn't advise it in R1.
Auto emergencie mate, so no donut as Haddin's score will automatically count
Ah right, didn't know that, wow that's pretty good!
Brilliant Raging!
Just created a community league 972372. Everyone welcome
Cheers Raging I'll jump in now mate
Bats: McCullum, Roy, Billings/Morgan, Hughes, Sangakkara
All Rounders: Russell (vc), Head, M Marsh
Keepers: Haddin, Dunk
Bowlers: Pattinson, Cummins, Richardson, Badree, Cutting

Feel free to jump into league 576296!
Feel free to have a go at this leauge 335141

Be kind, side put together in 5 minutes
Bailey pieterson McCullum hussey sangakarra
Head M Marsh M Stoinos
Haddin Dunk
Pattinson Coulter-Nile Cummings Johnson laughlin
Looks alright to me Riot! I'm just now toying with the idea of going with Dunk as my RD1 onfield keeper and freeing up a bit of cash..
Pieterson not playing mate ,neither is C/Nile I think .. ,try to get players that have Double matches this round ,
SYD THUND
SYD SIX
ADELAIDE..
BUT ADELAIDE have bye in rnd 2 ..
There's talk that Mitch may not play BBL at all…
That's Mitch Johnson I should clarify, not Marsh.
Coulter-Nile is injured as well mate
Thanks guys!
Stoinis and Hussey can go as well. After the stars have their bye this week go bang on the big guns. KP, Maxy, Zampa.
Keep an eye on national duties in Jan. Stars also lose a bunch of guys
I think Roy and Morgan hav International duties at that same.time .
Not bad Jock ..
I think you can make a bit of cash if you replace McDonald/Tremain on your Bench with Blizzard/Sandhu types ,having double games making you cash without risk of playing them .
Also I like Roy from the Sixers to go large this round ..
Cheers Killer – just sitting down to give here a bit of a tweak
Here's my team:
BATS: Lynn, Roy, Klinger, Bancroft (Ross)
A/R: Russell, Pollard (Cartwright)
WKT: Paine (Nevill)
BOWL: McKay, Tye, Cutting, Cummins (Zampa)
Darcy Short is cheap as an alrounder ,may open & Can bowl.a bit instead of C/Wright ..an option for your squad ,and Bancroft will bat at 6/7 probably you may get more juice from a higher order bat in first round like a Morgan /Patterson and CO ..Double up / 2 games for most of your Top Batsman is my Theory ..
I like Bancroft as a cricketer but he'll bat at 6 or even 7 at the scorchers. Won't see a lot of opportunity
If anyone has any tips please help.
66k left in the bank.
Batt roy mcCullum Voges. Blizzard (Lehman)
Allrounder. Henriques Russell (Mitch marsh)
Keeper. Ludeman (Whiteman)
Bowler. Tye McKay badree. Cummings (Hogg)
Hi Todd,Tye recently dislocated his shoulder so he may be in some doubt for round one. An injury update from the Perth scorchers on dec 6 said he is aiming to play so just be mindful of that since he is in the last game of the round. Also, Whiteman may not keep for the scorchers as Bancroft kept all last season.
Mccullum,Lynn,klinger,sangakara(Patterson)
Henriques,Russell(marsh)
Cummins,Pattinson,cutting,Johnson(boland)
Haddin as my wicket keeper!
Have changed my whole structure solely to maximise double games and minimise bye players.
We'll see how it pans out after 8 rounds haha!
My team now reads:
BAT: Roy, Billings, Morgan, Hodge (Voges)
A/R: Head, Abbott (MMarsh)
WKT: Haddin (Nevill)
BWL: McKay, Richardson, Cummins, Mennie (Zampa)
My double scorers and bye players per round (after 3 trades each round) will look like this:
R1: 11 / 1
R2: 0 / 1
R3: 10 / 0
R4: 3 / 2
R5: 5 / 3
R6: 0 / 0
R7: 7 / 0
R8: 0 / 0
The only thing I haven't worked out is the $$$ side of things, but I have a structure in place and ready to go!
Have decided to swap Billings for Patterson. Now have $88K spare to play with if I need $$$ later.
Also evens my Sydney players out to 4 each.
Toying with the all rounder spot. Head, Russell, pollard, cartright. Who to leave out? Thinking need cartright for cash generation so one of the first three will miss. Cheers
Someone suggested Darcy Short (Hurricanes) earlier as a cheapie that'll get game time (opening with Tim Paine)
Go with Darcy Short instead of Cartwright,Short will probably open innings and is 20k ,may bowl as well ,Cash cow mate ,have a look ,
McCullum, D.Hughes, Morgan, Hodge (white)
Russell, Head (short)
Dunk (paine)
McKay, Cummins, Cutting, K.Richardson (beer)
$30,600 left over
Mccullum, Hodge, Morgan, White (Sangakkara)
Russell, Maxwell (Pollard)
Dunk (Paine)
McKay, Cummins, Johnson, Laughlin (Tremain)
10k left over
Couple of questions. Since it is a rolling lockout can I trade players who play later this round to someone playing next week for loophole purposes and not lose a trade? I assume captain gets double points so if they play twice in the round do they get double points for each of their games?
Yes for both
Best options under 140k for a bowler?
Thanks to poloko and killer eel for the tip on short last night. Quick pimp of my team please I haven't followed that close so not sure if I am missing someone or have someone who is out. Cheers
Bat- Lynn Roy Morgan klinger sanga
Alr- Russell head short
Wk – haddin dunk
Bowl- McKay tye Cummings sandhu tremain
Hey Marvin, Tye has an injury cloud hanging over him in regards to his shoulder. An update from Perth scorchers on dec 6 said he is aiming to play round one but just be mindful that he might not play. Sangha also hasn't been selected for the thunder, so maybe replace him with Hughes or Patterson. Otherwise a nice team.
Cheers. That will mean I can't spend bigger on a bowler and bring in another cow
Thoughts please
Lynn, McCullum, Roy, Patterson, Sangakkara
Russell, Head, Short
Haddin, Dunk
Pattinson, Richardson, Cutting, Cummins, Tremain
No idea what I'm doing
But having a crack
Any feedback would be great
Lynn Roy Morgan white/ Patterson
Russell bravo/ d short
Haddin / dunk
McKay broad Johnson cummins/ Hogg
Broad currently playing in England test side against India, doubt he plays round one
Keep in mind that White, Bravo, Cummins and Hogg will all have a bye next week Nath, but don't mind that squad too much otherwise! I'm on Team Higgo with the Mitch Marsh selection at AR3 (102k for the Scorchers)
Cummins doesn't have a bye next week, only strikers and renegades do
I've had a couple of changes
Gonna try come out strong with 8 on field doubles and one of those being captain
Lynn Roy Morgan Mcullum / Patterson
Russell Henriques / d short
Haddin / dunk
McKay bollinger Johnson cummins/ Hogg
Hey all, going for cheapies and DGR early on, am I leaving too much in the bank though? Plan is to mop up the double points and cash, prob turn Hodge into Lynn next round, possibly Weatherald into Klinger and can turn Laughlin into someone else if need be. 346k ITB.
Morgan, Hodge, Patterson, Weatherald (Sanga)
Russel (C), Pollard, (D'Short)
Haddin (Dunk)
Mckay, Cummins, Laughlin, Mennie (Johnson)
Hey guys I'm new to fantasy bbl so feedback would be super helpful.
C Lynn, G Bailey, J Roy, E Morgan (K Sangakkara)
A Russell, T Head (D Short)
B Haddin (B Dunk)
S Broad, M Johnson, B Laughlin, P Cummins (A Fekete)
Broad probably won't play early. Today is day 5 of the test v India
Higgo I'm disappointed your team isn't the jolly stodgers anymore!!!
would love Short in particular but doesn't suit my strategy unfortunately.
Roy, Billings, Morgan, Patterson (Weatherald)
Russell, Pollard (M.Marsh)
T.Paine (Lenton)
K.Richardson, Cummins, Badree, Mennie (F.Ahmed/J. Richardson)
275k left
Ahmed in squad for Thunder and appears to be only spinner so may well play, but Jhye Richardson would have to be close with all the Scorchers injuries
If anyone knows since I've got no bloody clue how many games is Head expected to miss and when? Cheers
He's fine to start with. One dayers start on the 13th if he makes the squad
OK I've come up with
Lynn Bailey Morgan Roy (Lehman)
Head Henriques (Marsh)
Dunk (Neville)
McKay Cutting Richardson Cummins (Sandhu)
Not sure if I have enough rooks for cash gen?
Good luck all, cracked a can in anticipation will be cut by the time the first balls bowled tonight.
will lehmann maybe bat too far down the order to be best option at that price?
Patterson Hughes Wetherald or Harris could be options to consider too
Can't say I've researched that far LG, extra $20k saved on Wetherald could be handy tho cheers mate.
S.Marsh McCullum Roy Morgan (Sanga)
Bravo Henriques (Short)
Paine (Harper)
McKay Richardson Cummins Mennie (Tye)
Would love to hear you thoughts community!
Thoughts on my team.
McCallum, Bell, Patterson, Lehmann (Sangakarra)
Russell, Head (Short)
Haddin (Nevill)
McKay, Tye, Cutting,Tremain (Zampa)
My only queries are Sangakarra (based on his age and BBL form last season) and Cutting but don't want to overload on Strikers or Renegades players given that they have a bye in Round 2.
I reckon Zampa has the bye Nervs, read above that Tye may be injured too?
Thanks Hedski. Zampa is on my bench ready to play next week. Have read that Tye may be injured so will think about replacing him just in case he is out.
Who will keep for the thunder ?
Doran or Lenton. Lenton probably. Don't pick either
Doran will
anymore leagues that i'd be able to join? 🙂

Cheers Josh just jumped in.

Had a mug shot at it. Hopefully don't lose interest too quickly.
Lynn, Morgan, Klinger, C.White – Sangakarra
Henriques (C), Pollard (VC) – D.Christian
Paine – Nevill
McKay, Tye, Cutting, Laughlin – Cummins
905471 join up yee haa
Yee ha
Is having a solid third allrounder preferable or does a cheapy like Short benefit my team?
I prefer the most solid cheapie in MMarsh (102k) or Pollard (121k) Short can roll the arm over but won't be seen as a threat.
Suppose its Supercoach all year round! Also looking for leagues to join. Whipped up a team with what I know.
Finch, McCullum, Roy, Patterson (Sangakkara)
Russell, Pollard (Short)
Haddin (Dunk)
McKay, Johnson, Bollinger, Cummins (Worrall)
$5400 in the bank
Thoughts community?
Finch doesn't play week 1 no stars or renegades
My bad finch does play
Anyone running the captains loophole?
a fantasy bbl code if anyone is doing that 284057
it says your league doesnt exist man
Hi,
McCullum,burns,Roy,sanga,blizzard
Russell,head,short
Dunk,Paine
McKay,badree,Richardson,cummins,Bollinger
Thoughts on my team
Lynn Morgan White Patterson (Sangakkara)
Russell Head (Short)
Haddin (Dunk)
McKay Broad Richardson Cummins (Tremain)
I will trade out head and Richardson after this week as they have a bye next round
Is there a thread to join leagues?
If not, feel free to join both 457344 and 709421. Cheers!
Start Haddin or dunk?!?!?
What's the deal with catches not getting scores? Roy still on 0 after taking a screamer!
they should be worth 10 according to the scoring system mate
Yeah looks like they've figured it out, bit slow on the uptake but I'll cut 'em some slack, first game and all.
When ya trade Heneriques for Russell before the game…….
And put Paterson in.
Andre looked a bit outta sorts, drug issue on his mind?
Windies never look like they give a shit. He came in at a time when the thunder needed to rebuild. He's not that sort of player. Stick with him!
Gonna have to Kev I stuck the captain on him.
i stuffed my team already. couple of donuts cos i forgot bout stars out dammit.. im noticing not many people have picked klinger?? highest run scorer last year he was a lock 4 me..
Mate you can trade those stars players mid round ,due to rolling lock.No Donuts..
I put VC on Henriques,if I put the C on a NPR will I get points from my lowest Bench player aswell.
bit late, but trying to fill league 117160
Pattinson out for tomorrow nights BBL game
Hey Mac ,do I get NPR points if I use the VC loop ..thanx mate ..
Anyone else have Travis Head as captain this week?
If anyone wants a league to join, 157194 is the code
cheers Danners
worth bringing in harper to bank dunk's points if you have him on the bench with rnd 1 trade's being unlimited?
Yep
Feel free to join my league 804606
What's everyone on? And how many big Sixers have you yallyd
On 839 so far mate – had Dunk as C – very pleased.
How many play again Jock ..?
Nice old son. Long long time listener
I'm on 737 with 10 to play
Henriques captain.
Loving the format very simple and love scores is a blessing
Also 18 big 6
Only on 415 with all 11 played – but they all play again this round, so hoping the likes of Head (C), Abbott and Haddin can fire.
469 with 11 played (9 play again), Russell captain (traded him in for Henriques before the game….!).
Doesn't help having Dunk(145), Wetherald(85) and Steketee(109) all on the pine with no way to get points.
9 big sixes points.
609 so far, C- Henriques,9 more play again ..
65-per player on an average is probably above par ,,I'm hoping so anyway..19 big 6s so far
Anyone else finding this BBL SuperCoach a little underwhelming thus far?
Yeah, not feeling it really.
Bit of a gripe that players with the double game get locked. If they miss the second game you can't use your bench.
804606 Still space in league
Anyone know when R1 is finalised – I want to see where I'm positioned.
Pretty slow isn't it. Open sometime today hopefully
My Team:
Bat: Roy, Ross, McCullum, Short & (Wright)
Wk: Dunk (Peirson)
Bowl: Cummins, Jordan, Bravo, O'Keefe (Neser)
Captain: CUMMINS
Vice Captain: ROY
Is it only for the 8 rounds or do I need to save trades for the semis and final?
Need to save trades mate
Look at the ? thats at the bottom left of your team page, this will answer all your questions ,good luck
Traded in Short….1 measly point. Prick.
You think you've got problems this round hedski – my current scoring players are as follows:
MMarsh 66 – pass
Turner (and VC) 6 – massive fail
Bell 26 – fail
Johnson DNP ("rested" after 1 game and 4 overs!!!) – reserve bowler Zampa 5 – double massive fail
Roy DNP – reserve bat Voges 1 – double massive fail
Mennie DNP – donut, massive fail
Nevill C BYE – reserve WKT Haddin 8 – triple massive fail with C loophole stuffup (only cost me 2 points though!!)
Have Patterson, Morgan, McKay and Cummins to come – knowing my luck McKay & Cummins will be "rested" like Mitch.
I'll be very lucky to crack 200 this round, putrid!!
