Which do you reckon would get more money? The strong concentration or having med-med bowling?

I've just put him on a bowling net to try pop him to comp-comp then I'll probably sell him as he won't be good enough, quick enough as an all-rounder.

 

[andyc]

Nah you wouldn't get as much as that guy, given he's younger, has better concentration and is a good captain.

 

[PY]

He's not younger.

Gah. He was 18 on the transfer market, but had obviously aged since being listed, and the part that I copied would have been his actual age.

Possibly a FC No 7, or maybe 8 seeing as I've got a similar all-rounder (comp/feeble, comp/feeble, feeble stamina).

I reckon one stamina and one batting net should be alright.

tbh, if you are planning to use this player as an allrounder, he'd need a lot of stamina training if he is going to be of any use to you

He'll only be playing cup games, the two league OD matches against the non-bot in my league and all but four FC games. I reckon competent stamina should be enough.

Does anyone know if in FC cricket our five or six bowlers will all get a fairly even number of overs each, or will someone with a longer stamina/spinner be able to bowl one-and-a-half or twice as much as a low stamina quickie?

Got the pop I was expecting:

George Ashton - 19 yo, BT Rating=24,705
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, invigorated
A cautious player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: superb
Batting: superb Concentration: competent
Bowling: feeble Consistency: feeble
Fielding: abysmal

Good to see how far he's come in the space of a season, three WK levels, two batting levels and three levels for stamina. Just waiting for him to pop to proficient stamina then will probably cut him down to two nets, 1 bat and 1 WK.

Something's wrong with his fitness though. He's got two fitness nets and two bowling nets.

Maybe a fielding net?Heard it helps out keepers a bit. That is though if you can spare one.

Glad I posted this before they reversed it, figures in brackets are the new figures for those that have been trained:

Armstrong is up to 11,833 (12,428)
Packer 2,671
Nile 3,241 (3,248)
Obrien 1,038 (1,090)
Dillon 4,578
Lisbie 3,910 (3,913)
Barton 710
Walsh 403
Horne 3025 (3163)
Pace 4854 (5005)
Cahalane 1552
Parr 2157 (2,262)
Mohamed 1246
Callery 483
Howlett 644
Street 555
Appleton 1064

Hopefully next week is Armstrong's last W/K net, so his increases should be much smaller over the rest of the season. Dunno why Nile went up such a small amount, hopefully I just mistyped his wage before otherwise presumably he's had a skill drop (he got a batting net, which should increase his wage by around 50)

wouldnt it be better to put like 1 fielding and 1 fitness?

you choose the spells and depending on your captain he'll get rested if he's getting hammered or kept on if he's getting wickets

i wont tell you who told me that
