With a full round of games across both County Championship divisions, it's the perfect time to make some shrewd signings for your Cricket Draft fantasy team
The selection panels of England and Australia aren't the only ones who have had some difficult decisions to make this week - it's time for Cricket Draft selectors to pick their Xis for the next round of County Championship games.
Somerset's 19-year-old star James Rew went to the top of the overall scoring charts last week thanks to an outstanding double-century. With a salary of less than £90k, it's a wonder that only 35% of managers have him in their squads.
Durham's Alex Lees and Ollie Robinson are also among our Star Drafts ahead of their trip to Derbyshire, while Lancashire all-rounder Tom Bailey is officially the most in-form player in the Draft following his nine wickets in Blackpool last week.
Below are the most in-form, available players from each of this gameweek's fixtures, together with the best value options under the £90k salary-mark.
