Verhoeven would be like 8-12 weeks on 1 net, Hamlin 3-4.

Tozzer, 2 bat 2 bowl 1 field, or if you want him to play U/19, which is very possible you would want 2 bat 3 bowl 1 field 1 fitness.

Cheers, Verhoeven leaves me in a pickle though. If I do get Bosnich (smiths YP), I'd want to give him 2 bowling at the very least, and that would be made up of any 2 of the 3 bowling nets currently going to Verhoeven/Hamlin, and Harris' fitness net. Taking 1 of Hamlins bowling nets, and Harris' fitness might be my best option until Verhoeven pops to remarkable. Thoughts?

If your going to spend 4 mil, you might as well train them probably. I would go 2 bat, 2 bowl, 1 stamina, 1 field and maybe a 1 wk.

What would be the point of one keeping net? Anyone who would buy him/use him would obviously use him for his all-round batting and bowling capabilities. Why waste a net on abysmal keeping?

 

[Johnners]

To up his consistency & concentration 1 would imagine.

The keeping net would be to get his secondaries up not keeping. But a 3rd bowling net would be more useful if you have the extra net.

Had no idea keeping upped secondaries tbh. Thanks.

 

[alternative]

Cheers for all that lads.

 

[nibbs]

how about 1 stam, 1 field, 2 bowl, 1 bat, and 1 wk.

 

[chaminda_00]

I doubt he will have enough anyway. Reckon some idiot will play 6 mil for him.

Really? I'd rather higher secondaries then 1 less week for a pop. Unless I was training for U19.

Crazy prices as usual. Not complaining, but the bidding for my YP stands at £557,811 and we're into the final hour:

Well if your going to give someone 7-8 nets you might as well train them for U19s. Also once a player's stamina is superb you can always change it keeping. Also the double fielding and keeping net doesn't really have a massive impact until a player is 19. As primaries still pop around the same speed until then.

So sick of being in debt. Need some fixtures.

In exactly the same situation as you

 

[EARLOBE]

I've been bidding on a few prof/prof players trying to get a bargain so I can stay above the 1.6m mark but I don't think it's going to happen. I wish I had a cup game.

Ok. I managed to pick up one for less than 1m, but he's got absymal stamina. I couldn't help it. He can play against the bots this season and be my backup keeper, he should be close to competent by the beginning of next season if I'm right. Probably not.

In exactly the same situation as you

My YP going for nothing with under a day left. Just not my time atm.

 

[EARLOBE]

Mine's got six hours left and no bids. He's only a med/med/med though.

 

[Nate]

Mine's only a med/med/resp. But still.

Wanted two trainees this season. Only hope is to pull them really, everyone is so ridiculously expensive.

 

[andruid]

Mines a med/comp but I wont sell him just yet lest he pops on Monday.

 

[PY]

Thanks Pete, his currently going at 750k. He better go for 2 mil or I'm stuffed.

Upped it a little.

Was kind of hoping that someone else would jump in with a bid but think that was wishful thinking and I've been looking for either an allrounder or Rob's been telling me to get a wk for ages.

 

[PY]

Didn't realise his secondaries were quite so crap but as I intend on training until 22, shouldn't be a problem getting those better with wk net.
