I haven't posted this for a while. Only one player from youth side Upul Munaver made the starting XI. He will probably only be there until a couple of my other average bats pop to reasonable.

Fairly happy with the overall Seniors 1st XI, would like a few more capables, but all reasonable plus is decent starting point. Fairly young side too, so might have some potential. Will be interesting though, as most side would be starting to flood their youth players into their starting XI this season.

Hoping for a pretty big season with this youth side. A lot of these guys should make my starting XI in the future as we hit the 3rd cycle of players.

Not sure what to do with the all rounders though. Will play it by ear though. Until a couple of my 17yo bats pop, they should be able to make the side as batsmen for a little while.

 

[andruid]

My cup opponents have apending request to move to Bangladesh...

 

[Scaly piscine]

Easy cup game for me, if they don't log in a very easy cup game.

My default first XI

King (25), reasonable-reasonable bat with reasonable exp - Opener
Gardiner (19) reasonable-capable bat with dreadful exp - Opener
Kenny (23) reasonable-average bat with reasonable exp - Seam specialist
George (25) reasonable-average bat with average exp - Skilled (technique)
Whiting (19) reasonable-ordinary bat, capable keeper. Poor exp
Moysey (25) average-reasonable bat, average-reasonable RM bowl. Capable exp. Slower ball & spin speciliast
Gibbs (23) capable-ordinary bat, reasonable-ordinary RFM bowl. Average exp.
Reppion (28) average-average bat, reasonable-average RFS bowl. Reasonable exp. Finisher
Hogg (21) reasonable-ordinary bat, capable-ordinary RFS bowl. Reasonable exp. Seam specialist
Matheson (23) ordinary-poor bat, reliable fielder. Capable exp.
Tomasi (18) poor-average bat, reliable-average RFS bowl. Poor exp.


I've got an 18yo reliable-reasonable bat who's a spin specialist to come in. And an 18yo very high capable-reasonable bat to come in on top of that. I've got 7 of my top 8 on fitness training at the moment. My top 9 all have average+ endurance - I want reasonable endurance at least and more for some of the others. The fatigue is going to really bite I think and I figure the extra experience your best players get makes up for the long term loss in actual batting/bowling etc. skill where you've trained fitness instead.

Kuruvilla = Gun

Is a prodigy too, so should pop again before the end of the season. Only other two pops were average bowl average tech on a 17yr old fast.

Problem with my youth team now is that none of my bowlers can bat. Wouldnt have been bad if i stayed in Sri Lanka and had 4 bots in my league, but now i have a full human league in Bangladesh, with labrooy. Will be interesting.

 

[chaminda_00]

A couple pops on Menika Wickremasinghe, now reasonable-average. Happy with that considering he is 17yo. Only popped to average half way through last season and his not a prodigy. Seems a tad quick, but I'm not complaining. Devo if can't pull a player until tomorrow. Really want a new keeper batsmen.

Also, a 17yo RFM to reasonable bowling (ord tech and dreadful endurance tho), an 18yo spinner to reasonable tech and an 18yo batsman to reasonable tech.

 

[Scaly piscine]

7 pops, highlights being a pop to capable bowling and a pop to reliable batting.

 

[andruid]

1 batsman to reasonable batting

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hmm. Got an invite to play in a friendly Champions League if I win the SA title next season.

Could collide with a campaign in the CW FTP Championship. I guess I will just have to withdraw and relegate if that comes up.

He's a seam specialist so he's pretty useful.


Had only 4 pops, 3 were endurance. Other was a 19yo popping to capable bowling.

I'd have held out for someone else to be honest, technique and experience are important and he's got crapola there. Not great in other skills either. You'd be better to get a high waged average-average type as they'd be a lot cheaper and just as good. I think people are valuing skills as if it were BT.

Anyway can't believe the bidding is up to 86k on my guy, with just under 10 minutes to go.

I didnt buy him to be a star right away, in a few seasons he will be gun, and will be able to sell him for a large profit, or he will slot into my first XI. Unlike most teams in FTP, im not trying to be the best right away, ill be patient and train my guys in the way i want. Wouldnt be surprised if in 3-4 seasons i had the best team in the world.

 

[cricketboy29]

Is there a help file/FAQ for FTP like there is for battrick?

 

[EARLOBE]

Had a decent win in the cup, pretty disappointed with my bowling though. They knocked up 298, but we chased them with 2 overs to go.
