11. Qais Ahmad
– Andrew Tye looks safest captain choice considering his current lethal form with bowl and strike rate of just 11 in 12 H2H innings.
– Ashton Agar might be a good VC choice considering his middle order batting and full overs with the bowl.
– Taking punt on Nick Larkin who has averaged 50 with the bat in last three H2H innings.
– Going with mixed bowling combo of pacers and spinners as pitch is expected to assist both of them.
– Matthew Kelly might give some valuable fantasy points considering his death over bowling.
– Take anyone from Brody Couch or Haris Rauf as both will bowl in death overs for Melbourne Stars.

10. Andrew Tye(C)
11. Matthew Kelly
– Haris Rauf can be another good VC choice especially while bowling in first innings.
– Dropped Joe Clarke as he might not go big in five consecutive innings after playing 50+ Knocks in last four innings.
– Clint Hinchliffe might be a decent pick considering his opening batting order and 2-3 overs with the bowl.
– Cameron Bancroft can give decent fantasy points as he’s opening up the innings and handling wk duties too.
– Can take Laurie Evans at the place of Ashton Turner who might not score big in consecutive matches.
– Must try Adam Zampa as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while bowling in second innings.
