[Robertinho]

[mikeW]

Haha yeah, but you're not online.

[Adamc]

Hmm...I seem to have been relegated despite winning my play-off.

yep its a bug its happening everywhere..

 

[Adamc]

Mmm as long as it's fixed in time. Age updates have occurred for me, forgot to make note of the previous wages, but these are my current wages for my main players:

Whitehorne - £64,605
Watkins - £44,270
Ashton - £15,474
Cuss - £13,428
Malik - £5,609
Baird - £4,714
Harewood - £3,285

Not too bad, fortunately Whitehorne and Watkins both have secondaries below elite so their wages aren't unmanageable yet. Total wage bill is something like 155k, so a jump of about 45k. Looks like I'm going to be losing about 100k per week with max interest, so I'll need to get off to a good start and get some decent gate receipts.

 

[Adamc]

This guy is definitely better than Harewood. So much better...

Haha, no.

 

[NZTailender]

Hmm, haven't had a single pop of any sort in 2 weeks.

 

[Robertinho]

Haha, no.

What's Harewood like at the moment, anyway? Not superb I'm guessing?

 

[Adamc]

Primary - one or two weeks behind
Secondary - a level higher (should be popping this week or next)
Stamina - a level lower
Fielding - six levels higher

Don't see how Bhutia is much better.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Munroe: 	£2,873 	> £7,274
Jephcott: 	£841	> £1,505
Hodge: 		£3,501 	> £3,893
Dylan: 		£1,011 	> £1,365
Seneviratne: 	£852 	> £2,525
Sambrook: 	£1,087 	> £2,711
Viduka: 	£1,065	> £1,705

Decent sixed increase, will probably start to hurt me if I don't start the season well.

Wages: £22,668 p/w

Hey just wondering if it was worth giving Herbert the week off training next week in order for him to get his PFL up if i did this how much would it go up from drained?

 

[andyc]

Just one pop for me

Steve Farmer - 19 yo, BT Rating=8,025
RH Batsman, LFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A steady player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: proficient Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: woeful
Fielding: woeful

Wages aren't too bad for me. Canning's up to just under 20k, which is, IIRC, about twice what he was before.

It'd probably increase by three or four levels each week. So if you didn't give him training this week, his PFL would be around moderate by Monday, and then up to maybe lively/invigorated by the next Sunday. That's from what I can remember with Canning, so it might be a bit off.

 

[PY]

One pop, which is quite good as he's the guy I bought recently:

Hamid Craddock - 19 yo, BT Rating=11,275
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic
An attacking player with worthless leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: woeful
Bowling: strong Consistency: proficient
Fielding: woeful

Wages have increased quite a bit.

Abdul kadir 	2,309 	>> 	4507
Bardle 		1109 	>> 	2535
Carey 		1216 	>> 	2488
Chanderpaul 	7390 	>> 	11433
Craddock 	733 	>> 	2187
Mamello 	1277 	>> 	3283
Moodley 	2547 	>> 	4693
Sekani 		4920 	>> 	10119

Should be OK though with my 35k ground if, as everyone has been saying, I get off to a good start to the season.

yeah think i might just keep training him.

Don't see how Bhutia is much better.

*takes out the knives*

Bhutia's fairly close to popping in his secondary aswell, so he's ahead in primary & stamina (which is also close to popping), and not too far off secondary. Harewood is a much, much better fielder, of course, but his fielding isn't going to make him take more wickets, and with fielding the unknown quantity that it is, how useful is it? Will six levels on one of your 11 players make that big a difference?

Anyway, besides the point. I rate Bhutia higher because he is better, as a batsman, than Harewood is as a bowler. Both will be guns though.

 

[superkingdave]

Wages gone from £37594 to £53679. So not too bad, i'll still make 10K without a home game, or 30K when i stop my YP investment.

Major increases

Islam from £9432 to £14818
Challinor from £3561 - £5391
Norris £1874 to £5600
McEwan from c£1100 - £3455

Everyone's fixtures are up now I presume? How're they looking?

Mine should be quite interesting, I've got a chance in all my games really but need everyone to perform to their ability!
