I can't believe I ate the whole thing
trevor_vayro
U19 Vice-Captain
Wages not too bad, overall a little less than I was expecting, though Noon was much more than anticipated, and Greening was much less.
Akhtar £5.5 K >£10,325
Benamar £1,089 >£2,819
Bewers £17K >£21,235
Greening £36K >£44,263
Katleho £1.7K >£3,858
Noon £16.5K >£38,384
Wilde £9K > £10,640
Total wages £135K >£164,178
Nice YP too:
Phil Hutchinson (1878592)
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh fitness.
A steady player with abysmal leadership skills and worthless experience.
Plays For: Cymru Gurgitaters
Nationality: England
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 4,781
Wages: £989 p/w
Stamina: mediocre (6) Wicket Keeping: mediocre(12)
Batting: respectable (12) Concentration: woeful (5)
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: worthless
Seeing as I was picking purely to sell, I figured that I'd get more bang for my buck by going for a WK/Batsmen than on an all-rounder, as WK doesn't have an accompanying secondary to drink up ITS. Pretty pleased with the result, WK was Wor to start with, but even so, Med isn't a terrible starting point for training, he's around half way up Resp Bat, and whilst Woe Conc is the thing which will drag down his price, it's not actually all that bad, as it'll come along reasonably quickly with batting and WK nets. Listed for £0, will hopefully contribute half a mill plus towards the new all-rounder fund. *
Of my 14 OD and FC opponents, 1 is a bot, 2 are around the Strong/Comp - Prof/Strong mark, and the remaining 11 are all between Qual/Prof - Strong/Prof and Sense/Sense - Exq/Mir. On the plus side I'd feel as though I had a chance against any/all of them, but on the down side I could also lose to all of them, so it makes it hard to target resources at specific games. In RL I'm more inclined towards FC over OD, but in BT I really want to make a push towards Div II, as I reckon reaching Div II in England is when you can really start to call yourself a team - Though having said that, getting there and staying there are going to be two entirely different things.
Have a tickly little 1st round Cup match. Nothing too scary, Strong/Med - Comp/Comp, but their just about good enough not to take for granted with the reserves. Plus, having sold Cash and Carlton, and hitherto failed to replace them with a new all-rounder, the cupboard's looking a little bare in terms of strength in depth. I'll most likely go close to full strength but TIE.
Later, Trev

Okay, so bowling and WK isn't the best combination, but he's a pretty good bowling trainee...possibly an U19 candidate? Should have made him non-English, but didn't twig that you could.
If he was a quick, I'd have considered scrapping one of my batting trainees and training him up to replace Hirst or Brooker. As it is, I've already got my high-skilled spinner in John.
Guess I'll put him on the market tomorrow, for a Sunday evening sale. £2M with a bit of luck?
I've not listed a player in ages. £1M listing, perhaps, or should I just stick 'im on for nowt' at this stage of the season?

So freaking dire and I thought you had some Lankan blood. Can't believe you didn't pull a Lankan first chance you got. Worst guy ever.

I know. I only remembered that you could do that _after_ I'd pulled him.So freaking dire and I thought you had some Lankan blood. Can't believe you didn't pull a Lankan first chance you got. Worst guy ever.
From now on, it's Lankan all the way. Too late, though -- I'll never get another YP that good
Now listed for £1,111,111. Bid bid bid!
