Tar, Trev

Large margin of error for this one because the respectable has a small range and remarkable a big range, he looks like he should pop imminently tho.

Got two pops actually, didn't notice before tho because Tawanda wasn't in that java tool thing so there was nothing for it to compare his new stats too.


Mike Tawanda - 17 yo, BT Rating=6,555
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, proficient batting form, mediocre bowling form, energetic
An attacking player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.

[Scaly piscine]

Figured I may as well train Tawanda properly, just means Preece and Dillon will be trained a bit longer on batting and Armstrong's wage will cost another 2-3k with elite sublevels.

Challenged Justin @ TG Oval

Interesting to see that Murali looks to be on par with Baird, how much did you buy him again for Adam?

 

[Adamc]

He cost me 2.5 when I bought him last season, paid a bit much really. Will try to sell him for 4.5+ when his bowling pops in a few weeks.

 

[chaminda_00]

I probably never sell Murali myself his part of the furinture these days. Just wanted to know how much roughy he would be worth ATM.

I have been looking back through some of my cons and conc pops, to try and figure out how long it will take for my players to pop just on 1 Batting or Bowling net. I have come up with rough timeline, how close do you guys think it is:

17yo - 14-15 wks
18yo - 13-14 wks
19yo - 12-13 wks
20yo - 11-12 wks
21yo - 10-12 wks

etc.

So going by this cons and conc pops might be on par with primary pops by the time a par is 19yo, then becomes faster. Not sure what impact a fielding or keeping net would have, as i haven't given my players on in a while, but i guess it would just half those times.

So how accurate do you guys think this is, or am i way off?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Looks not too far off. I lost most of my records of training over post-christmas when my hard drive went but I'm pretty sure none of my 21/22 yr olds took less than 12 weeks to pop in the relevant con. So I'd say 17yos take ~15 weeks and then take half a week off for each extra year from there. Don't think that'd work for high 20s/early 30s players tho.

A wicket-keeper or fielding net supposedly increases secondaries at the same rate as a primary does, except it trains both secondaries instead of just one.

 

[nibbs]

concentration pop for rich and an experience pop for duggan.

 

[AussieDominance]

Accepted Tharmi,

Gosh Whitehorne is looking good.

lol im **** at battricks doger

 

[The Baconator]

Have challenged Gaurav's team. Think we're a good match-up, he'll probably take it with me doing a little rebuilding ATM.

sup doger i signed up

 

[Mahindinho]

So, what would people say are the general prices for Strong, Superb and Quality players with reasonable secondaries, e.g. Comp stamina and conc/cons not too far off the primary?

I'm thinking of selling Gibb so I can bolster my batting order:

Shaka Gibb - 20 yo, BT Rating=29,154
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A cautious player with superb leadership skills and woeful experience.
Stamina:        proficient      Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting:        woeful          Concentration:  mediocre
Bowling:        superb          Consistency:    superb
Fielding:       mediocre

He'll hit Quality/Quality fairly soon, and I'm thinking about flogging him and instead getting two trainees - they'd only get one net each, so I'd be looking at 19yo Strongs or 18yo Proficients, one batting and one bowling, that I'd slowly train up to Quality.

Might be able to get £500k for Perry (Resp/Strong bat) if I'm lucky, and throw that into the mix.

 

[Adamc]

Quality/quality would get you 4-4.5m probably.

 

[Mahindinho]

Quality/quality would get you 4-4.5m probably.

Really? I was thinking I'd be lucky to get £3.5M.

In that case, I should be able to get a pair of young Strongs. Which'd be nice
