From The Pavillion

[Bobisback]

Wages up to 90k. Had an insane win over NZ U19's. Tough OD and YOD leagues, should finish top 4 though, if i dont questions will be asked

(Promoted in both, so 4 bots.)

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm my fielding/keeping rating has plummeted after the changes, this after I've gone from reliable or reasonable keepers to an expert one.

 

[EARLOBE]

So did mine, but it was only 500 or so for me.

 

[chaminda_00]

Fielding is over rated. Catches don't win matches, runs and wickets do.

So did mine, but it was only 500 or so for me.

Mine dropped by well over 1000.

 

[EARLOBE]

Just bought an 18yo reas/avg bat for $80k, he's low reasonable and I probably over paid for him but I don't care, at least I can field a decent batting lineup now. He's a seam specialist too which will be handy.

I've got my eye on another one tomorrow then I'm staying away from the transfer market for the rest of the season unless I'm selling.

 

[Scaly piscine]

They're not too bad considering the daft prices two of my players are currently going for.

I've also got my eye on a player tomorrow...

 

[NZTailender]

I'm thinking of selling some players, not sure who though.

 

[EARLOBE]

So pissed off. The transfer doesn't end until tomorrow.

 

[EARLOBE]

I might end up in a bidding war for one of my own players, he double popped this morning and I want to keep him now. Even Otago has put a bid on him.

Gun day for training.

18yo bat that I bought last night to reas technique.
17 yo to reas batting
17yo to avg batting and ord technique
18yo to avg bowling
17yo all rounder to ord technique
19yo to avg fielding
19yo keeper to ord fielding

Going to go for a keeper with the youth pull. I'm going to sell my senior keeper at some point this season. I have a potential keeper in the squad already but I'd rather him just be a batsmen.

The best of the pops are the experience pops, none of the others are my guns, but cant complain.

 

[superkingdave]

16 pops, including my first capable batsmen at youth level. Nice week, gonna have to promote a couple players though.

You can't promote players anymore. They'll stay in the youth squad but you can play them in seniors.

 

[NZTailender]

Had 1 bowler to reliable bowl and 1 bat to average endurance.

well i guess i'll have to fire/sell my worst players to get some space then

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

How many players can you have in each team before training hits start to apply?

20 in Senior, 25 in youth

Oh, they've increased it for youth? That's handy as I have 19 in my youth squad, and most of them are 19 so I need to get some youngsters ahead of next season.


Only 13 in my senior squad, thoguh.

 

[Spikey]

Nah, it was always 25.
