Fair enough, no need for me to get into a bidding war with you then. I'll wait till someone suitable turns up on the market, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to beat Hakon on Sunday with a 2.5-man bowling lineup. :mellow:
watkins and cuss will beat hak with both hands tied behind their back imo... dwight tuck pft

Just bought this guy for 350k, which was a mistake on my part but nothing too serious as I have a home game on Friday. Had no intentions of going that high but I got irritated with people pinching players because I'm not there at deadline so put in too much. :laugh:

Given the state of transfer market, it's not a killer. Although his wages are rather low, I have spare nets to get him to proficient by 18 hopefully.

At least he's got superb leadership... you'd certainly get value if you trained them and sold them on again.

He'll be better, mark my words. ;)

Anyone fancy a friendly this wkend against a down-and-out Indian side? I'm playing Leeds United on Friday and will get thumped so I imagine it'll be a walkover for a reasonable side.

How far do you reckon I'll have to train him to get to a million quid?

Why does the superb leadership mean he's more sellable? Does it affect the way they train??

Wow, the dross team I was supposed to play against tomorrow have been kicked out, presumably for having an inactive manager, and they've been replaced by a newbie - But not just any newbie, a super, uber newbie, with genetically modified players. Their squad, for a newbie, is hotter than Charlotte Church, in stilettos, stockings and a Swansea City shirt, covered in KFC's Original recipe coating, balancing a pint of Magners on her head, and seductively swinging the keys to an E-Type Jag from the end of one luridly red painted finger-nail.

They have one Strong, one Prof, three Resps, (one of whom, with wages of £1097, could be a Prof I suppose), and 5 - Count them! - 5! Comps. I'm actually really excited, as I've finally got a third league match which I'm going to have to PAN to win, and which might make it past my lunch-break!

Needless to say, plans for my entire top six to go V.Attacking in the relentless pursuit of NRR have been shelved, and we shall be playing with a full team and default, proper opposition, orders.

Check them out, they're called Ozza, in V.76 - Bring'um on!! Though on a serious note, I think Alan might be indulging in a bit of social engineering, as the overall standard of my league is absolutely pitiful - And once I'm promoted, there will be literally no opposition to Dragnets whatsoever.

Who was it who was asking about LM/RM bowlers? My best bowler, in terms of skill levels, is LM Bewers, who'll turn Sup in the next few weeks. He takes fewer wickets against dross than both of my high Resp RFMs, but does do better against tidy opposition, and has an economy rate of around three or just under. Although it's hard to tell whether this is due to his Lmness, or his Steady temperament.

Later, Trev

Superb leadership is just a bonus, doesn't help with sales or anything else.

If you look at their transfer history:

Code:
Date          From                  To                     Price  BT Rating 

27/07/2006    Durrington Albion     Boggles               350000       7865 
06/06/2006    3 Shredded Wheat      Durrington Albion      67628       3185
You can see how they up in value quite quickly. I reckon if you get them up to strong-respectable you could probably sell them for a million plus on a good day (depends on how the market progresses I suppose and whether they're 18 or 19), because the prices go up exponentially (to a point - where people run out of cash) but the training times are completely flat (superb up to quality takes the same amount of time as training someone from worthless to abysmal) then you'll get an increasinly big return for each extra level you train them up, up to about quality.

So you can't really go too wrong by buying 17yos if you've room to train them, it's all relative, if someone is a lot of money at 17 then they'll be an even bigger amount of money when they're trained up a few months later.

Not bad for an 18yo:

12. Jack Mears £ 3,500,000 (opening price)
Plays for: TheMadBatters Stamina: mediocre W/Keeping: competent
Age: 18 years old Batting: remarkable Concentration: respectable
BT Rating: 35,118 Bowling: superb Consistency: respectable
Deadline: 28/07/2006 10:07 Fielding: feeble


See if you had loads of nets vacant, you could buy a 17yo for under 1 mil early in the season, train them for 28 weeks, get 4 pops in both primary...

2+ million profit.

I saw that guy, Sri, IMHO you may have overpaid a tad. But then again, I'm biased against medium pacers. the abysmal stamina does count against him quite a lot.
 

Agent TBY

Well I bowl them in sets of five, so his stamina doesn't really impact his bowling. Plus, I already have two pacemen to open the attack, so his being a medium pacer is a bonus.

But about his stamina, yes I agree, will have to get it up to atleast mediocre before he bats well.

Do you think a Proficient-Abysmal-Mediocre can bat well in our league? Because Ive got Proficent-Comp-Comps who are shaky. Then again, Omardeen who is Comp-Resp-Med scored 93.

Btw, on the topic of Medium pacers, good for keeping runs down, then eh?. Might be useful.

As well as that, I'm quite ****ed of at the dearth of affordable decent allrounders.
