[33/3from3.3]

PY, i joined the League.. it also says i have a first match this weekend.. is it worth playing still or what? and how do u find out yur ranking and so forth..
sorry about asking u all these questions, but i don't know anyone who would be able to help me.. as u are the only one who responded me..

i somehow managed to gather this information, if this could help u define me stuff...

General Manager: alternative
Country: England
Region: Surrey
One Day League: #4 in V.226
Ground: Alternative XI CG

would appreciate it...
Thanx..

#4 Means you're 4th in your league
V. Means 5th division (III = 3rd division, IV = 4th division)
226 Means next to nothing dont worry about it

Just to expand, the 226 means you're in the 226th league in the fifth division. Leagues are not ranked (ie V.1 isn't the best league in division 5), so don't worry about that as Paddy said.

If you're looking for some help in getting started, have a look at this post from Adam, it helped me a lot. Just bear in mind that some things (the youth academy, for example) have since changed so the information may be a little different. Looking at the league that you're in, chances are you'll have a bit of trouble winning your first few games, but don't worry about that because every team in your league is human (some teams are bots, and will always have CC after their name, such as 'Sydney CC.' But good luck, and you should be looking at the transfer market ASAP to get some good players into your team. If you're not sure about which player to get or anything, just ask one of us.

[Adamc]

You can just go to your squad page then copy/paste everything there.

I'm not Season 1!

I only joined in October '05. Must be my depth of knowledge that fooled you.

And the inflated ratings you got last season...

Easiest. Division. Ever

Dunno, my first league was pretty easy. I had probably one of the worst starting teams I've seen posted on here, and I didn't lose a game.

This would be my side, you should be able to replace all the feebles with better players for practically nothing on the transfer market.

in case the numbers need explaining:

1=worthless, 2=abysmal, 3=woeful, 4=feeble, 5=mediocre, 6=competent, 7=respectable, 8=proficient

Ba=batting, Cc=concentration, Bo=bowling, Cs=consistency, F=fielding, S=stamina, W=wicket/keeping (where applicable) Rat=rating, Fit=fitness level, x=experience

Don't have many obvious trainees, but the ones in bold I'd train in the meantime.

 

[PY]

And the inflated ratings you got last season...

Easiest. Division. Ever

 

[ash chaulk]

damn the new teams dont really get much do they

 

[Scaly piscine]

damn the new teams dont really get much do they

Looks about the same strength as my starting side, except my best player was 28yo. Also the stamina and fielding are generally much better in alternative's side. At least he should have two strong-competent or better destructive players with solid fielding, stamina within a season or so.

 

[alternative]

ohhh thank you very much for that scaly..
appreciate it..
