Looking through the Q &A from last night

A few highlights:

[10:10] <COM-Nightowl> next we have jonnyboy613: What is the current status of the FC league i.e. any idea on when it will be introduced and what have been the problems delaying its introduction to the game?
[10:12] <BT-allanfc> I'll deal with the second part first. The problems with the introduction have been that the game grew a lot quicker than I expected, and a lot of my coding from the games launch was pretty poor to be honest, so I had to do a lot of work to get the site running in a way that was scalable, and sustainable. That has pretty much been done now (although it is a never ending task) so that I had the opportunity to get back to the FC development
[10:13] <BT-allanfc> The 1st part of the question now - the current status is that they are in development, and, unless there are extremely exceptional circumstances, they will be introduced at the start of next season

[10:36] <COM-Nightowl> Is form affected by the team results overall?
[10:36] <BT-allanfc> no

10:48] <rascal-the-cat> From Scuffer - will the introduction of multiple bowlers and conditional orders in FC games be implemented in OD games at some point
[10:48] <BT-allanfc> yes, but not next season I wouldn't have thought

[10:56] <rascal-the-cat> Next up - From Nailclaw - Are they plans to introduce different styles of spin bowling e.g. Legspin or Offspin?
[10:57] <BT-allanfc> Yes there are, but not in the short term I'm afraid

[11:32] <rascal-the-cat> And another from Micky_Jay - Can we have an update on some of the Dev Sticky ideas, such as wicket squares, ability to arrange friendlies in advance, groundskeeper options etc?
[11:33] <BT-allanfc> No - they are good ideas that will (hopefully) eventually be implemented and when they are, you will be told. I have to see which are doable in realistic timescales, and trying to hold myself to deadlines publicly when there is so much going on is just not a good idea.

[11:48] <COM-Nightowl> Adam_NCCCCCCCC asks: is there any chance we can have the search page back to picking up non-exact matches?
[11:49] <BT-allanfc> No - I know this has been asked a lot over the last few weeks since the change, but it really does make a big difference to me behind the scenes, so for the meantime it will stay as is.

[11:49] <COM-Nightowl> from Dragonz_Rule: When will the change be implemented such that wicketkeepers have a greater influence on the game? It's been in the pipeline for a while ...
[11:50] <BT-allanfc> yes - next season

Mukesh Sishayi - 19 yo, BT Rating=14,243
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, strong batting form, strong bowling form, energetic
A destructive player with superb leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: woeful
Batting: mediocre Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: quality Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: woeful

Sishayi is pretty much the story of my side really, pretty high primaries but low stamina and secondaries. I'll drop his bowling net for a while and turn it into a stamina net. Should fix my team's stamina issue atleast by the end of the season. Not sure when i'm going to be get around to sorting out the secondaries issue though.

Two pops for my bowlers. Singh is now Resp/Resp/Resp and Smart is Resp/Resp/Comp. Good times.

Training results are popless for the third week running, means I'll have to wait another week to sell Obrien & Tawanda.

Got a couple of experience pops tho, Packer to respectable and Pace to competent.
