Haha what the hell? I had a mediocre bowler on the transfer market, and about three hours before the deadline someone bid 1000 on him. Then, about an hour later, the same person bid 2000. And then, 15 minutes before the deadline, he bettered his own bid by another 1,000.

Buy Tel Lee, Adam. Louis, Lee - unplayable.

Yeah, turns out it was just me being stupid. Tedstone STILL hasn't popped in either batting or bowling, which is really annoying, so I figure he must pop in both next week.

One lousy Conc pop.

Means I can take away his fielding net, maybe make it a batting net, or give someone else some stamina.

 

[James]

Spent 46 ITS on a 20yo medicore piece of sh*t.

The filter is there for a reason, don't try and avoid it please.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Couple of stamina pops and nowt else, brings up my team stamina total to 55 - average of mediocre.

 

[Adamc]

There's supposed to be a limit of 100 ITS. Think I'll have to get busy on the transfer market at some point and buy a decent batter.

Now seems to be a good time to do it, a lot of players on the market at the moment. I've been looking for a few weeks (since I sold Gillespie) and there's usually less than 30 players with 10,000+ BTR on the market; at the moment there's 60.

Anyway, I put Ashton on the market, just to make sure I have enough money to bid for this guy on the off chance that he goes for less than 2.5m:

13. Fitz Watkins £2,000,000 (kaiser chiefs)
Plays for: Have It! Stamina: strong W/Keeping: abysmal
Age: 19 years old Batting: remarkable Concentration: remarkable
BT Rating: 75,813 Bowling: strong Consistency: remarkable
Deadline: 26/04/2006 15:31 Fielding: proficient

Some other players I'm interested in as well if I can't get that guy, would be good if I could pick up a new player before playing nibbs next week.

Not too shabby, good luck

Still trainable as well

 

[Adamc]

Just realised i'm getting the 2/3 compensation for every game that Cuss plays in the WC. So his 2 and 5 have earned me 10k, woohoo.
