Adam Hose
Hose was the 12th highest-scoring men’s batter in 2023 with 222 points after a series of useful cameos for Northern Superchargers.
With England stars Harry Brook and Ben Stokes not around until the conclusion of England's internationals against West Indies, there is likely to be an added emphasis on the likes of Hose to fire for Superchargers. Therefore being available for just 6.5 credits is a steal.
Michael Pepper
Don’t be dissuaded by the 29 points Pepper got while playing for London Spirit in 2023!
He is the cheapest keeper in the game at 5.5 credits, and even though he might not take the gloves for the Lord’s based side, he has been tearing it up in the Vitality Blast this season - scoring over 100 runs in an innings TWICE!
Amanda-Jade Wellington
The Australian spin bowler has 35 wickets across all editions of The Hundred. That is more wickets than any other men's or women's bowler. So only costing 7.0 credits is an offer too good to miss.
She only got four batters out while playing for Manchester Originals in 2023, but a move to Oval Invincibles should be the change of scenery needed to bring home those points.
Charli Knott
She might only be a replacement for Smriti Mandhana while the India superstar is at the Asia Cup, but Knott is seriously good value at 6.5 credits for the first few blocks. Knott will be available for Southern Brave's match in Block 1, and their first match in Block 3.
Australian Knott started the year by being named the Young Gun in the Women’s Big Bash League – after taking 10 wickets and scoring 283 runs.
The all-rounder has since been acclimatising to English conditions by taking 32 wickets and scoring over 550 runs for Southern Vipers in the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy.
Benny Howell
Howell scored 289 points in 2023, with only Adil Rashid taking more than his 27 wickets in the Men’s Competition history.
He recently smashed 62 not out off 27 balls in a Vitality Blast match and is always good for a couple of sixes when he comes in down the order.
Paige Scholfield
The Oval Invincibles player was the third-highest-scoring women’s all-rounder last year thanks to her knack of picking up wickets. She got eight batters out to help amass 419 points.
However, it is her batting that has impressed in regional cricket this year having passed 50 six times and worthy of a punt at 7.0 credits.
Calvin Harrison
Owner of the best figures in Men’s Competition history when he took five wickets for 11 runs against Northern Superchargers last year.
That haul accounted for 165 of his 174 points but at 6.0 credits there aren’t many cheaper options that have the proven ability to bring in huge Fantasy points.
Linsey Smith and/or Kirstie Gordon
We can’t separate these two left-arm spinners both valued at 6.0 credits. So maybe get both so you can facilitate another more expensive player.
Superchargers’ Smith scored 14 more Fantasy points – 322 vs 308 – than her Rockets rival in 2023, despite Gordon taking one more wicket – 10 vs nine.
