Probably FAQ...

What are 'FC Games' and why aren't I playing any of them?

FC games are First Class games. These are played over 3 days in Battrick, with each team having 2 innings. The engine for these games is a lot more complex than the One Day engine and is still be developed. We envisage these games starting in season 3.

Haha Season 3

Just bought my trainee for this season. Wasn't really intending to go as high as I did, but meh. At least I got in early.

Oh Barbs have a tissue. Don't worry Janine will be over soon with some fairy bread.
Or even your counterpart Obelisk to battle the bad bad monster's in your room whilst you cower within the confines of your closet. Preferable instead of getting Obelisk to help you, a better idea would be to step out of your closet and confront these barbarians.

But that would take effort, won't it son?

Don't worry your doing a good job.

What a ****

As for me, first and only ITS YP of the season, and a dud. Maybe should have waited to get 35 instead of using the 30 (12 bat, 9 stamina, 9 conc), but meh.

 

[NZTailender]

Haha, another decent YP pull..but where do I fit him into my training schedule now?

I don't know what to do with him. For one, he has very decent secondaries. But his batting's too low, though. However, if he's anywhere close to competent, I might stick some nets on him.

My Last ITS YP for a while

Liam Harris (1275994)
LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A defensive player with woeful leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Clapo's XI

Battrick Rating: 5,897
Wages: £988 p/w

Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: respectable Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: woeful Consistency: worthless
Fielding: woeful

I'm not exactly sure what i'm going to do with him, although i'm leaning towards training him. ATM Appleyard & Ludlow are 19, and just popped to strong, each are only on 1 batting net. I'm tossing up either taking both there batting nets and giving them to him, or taking the net from only 1 of them and keeping the other. Then of course i could sell him for a nice profit...but my side desperately needs another batsmen, and this guy would ensure my top 7 are all Respectable +

Thoughts? I'm leaning towards taking away both Appleyard & Ludlows batting nets for him.

 

[PY]

Has anyone got any idea as to the wage limit for exceptional and sensational are?

Got a couple of wonderfuls who I've no idea how close they are to exceptional and how much their wages might be if I train them to the intended level of sensational.

go 3 Bat, 1 Field, 1 Stam or 2 Bat, 1 Field, 1 Stam. When he reaches strong stamina at the end of the season give someone else that net. make this guy into your teams super star

Suppose it's not worth training him, given I have a 20yo who is proficient bat/superb wk? Or should I sell the 20yo and cash in on inflated prices?
