Looks like I had a brain fade picking Loftie Eaton and Khurram Shahzad!

Also a bit miffed at not picking any South African players this whole calender year but all the players I liked were already picked and I thought Mulder was risky but he's doing awesome..
Yes, I was quite surprised by this. I did plan to pick Ngidi at the end too but come draft time, you knew what you were doing and you not picking any sa player sowed in thoughts in my mind that you knew something about sa schedule cancelations that I didn't. Ngidi went unpicked at the end.

India vs NZ is really proving to be a HUGE disappointment for me. Bumrah is not taking wickets, Latham not scoring runs, Williamson is missing the tour, Shami still not fit and they have dropped both Kuldeep and Axar for Washington.....

Yeah bro you've just been really unlucky, you need a lot of luck in this game like KV is winning by a big margin mostly cause of luck.
Babar Azam missing out to Kamran Ghulam should never happen , Will Young instead of Williamson should never happen , Kuldeep should never be dropped for Washington when he bowled well in 1st test , even guys like Axar should have atleast played some T20's if they not getting test matches . But you still have BGT series and Nz vs England you can score good points there.

Not too worried about Shadab not being there but wish Ayub got selected for t20is too. It's a surprise that he got in for odi but not t20.
Salman is in all of the squads for my team while Naseem Shah & Babar Azam made the cut for Aus series while Jamal made the Zim and ODI squads , happy with this to be fair. Hope Babar can play Test series in SA.. Let me try to find Aus team

Yes you've got a great deal from the pak selectors and imo you are the only one who can even get close to KV this year. But KV has Rizwan Kamran Raza etc for these series too. So think the points will cancel out.

I don't think I can catch up to KV bro he's just too lucky 😭..Think you've made the most skillfull moves and Capt Luffy has the best Q4 squad but been unlucky ..I shouldn't have been biased and picked so many SL players , and should have held on to Raza

Lol everything is about luck in fantasy drafts, nobody has control over how players perform or how selectors pick sides, you just have to predict the best you can and don't overthink things. Complaining about luck in fantasy drafts is like complaining about water in the ocean.

Mixed opinions on this. Not everything is about luck in fantasy drafts but a whole lot depends on luck too. There is a reason why MI and CSK are the most successful in ipl while the purse given to all franchises are the same. You do the basic research and scouting right and then leave it to the players to perform.

Atkinson and Kamran Ghulam were great scouts by KV this year just like Green and Raza for me last year. I've seen JOJO do a lot of such unique picks but it hasn't worked out so far. So that's the luck playing it's role.

This bro. You can't be releasing him in a quarter where Zimbabwe has the most matches of all teams. You would have been running KV close by this point if you had not.

All kiwi posters are ****-a-hoop that Will Young has finally arrived. Only we in this draft know that he will outperform only in this specific quarter and then disappear later.
