Title: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on November 12, 2007, 01:15:32 PM Thought rather than starting a new thread each week for the pops we get.. we may as well have just the 1
17yo trainee bowler up to abysmal fielding ( med stamina prof bowling med consistency) 17yo trainee batter up to comp concentration ( med stamina comp batting) Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on November 12, 2007, 05:48:07 PM just a consistancy for a trainee batsman today
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on November 12, 2007, 07:17:27 PM another pop, 7th week running for trainee all rounder - only a few more weeks now and another pop in batting, bowling and stamina and its time to put him on the transfer market :)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: divaflava on November 13, 2007, 03:57:53 PM a cons pop for my spinner.
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bazzaboy on November 13, 2007, 04:15:10 PM I had a few
conc pops for 2 batsmen fielding for my all rounder bowling for my spinner Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on November 18, 2007, 02:24:59 PM Dead exciting, my first ever pops this week.
Trainee all rounder had two, up to competent batting and abysmal (no sniggering at the back there!) fitness! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on November 19, 2007, 10:29:40 AM none today
but got a bot in OD game this week so putting out my first team (minus 3 trainees) into FC game Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on November 19, 2007, 10:41:21 AM Possibly my best week ever for pops

Not a bad week! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bazzaboy on November 19, 2007, 02:06:47 PM solitary fielding pop :(
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: divaflava on November 19, 2007, 04:58:59 PM Lonely fitness pop :(:(
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on November 21, 2007, 12:43:56 AM Three pops for me this week one of which was a straightforward stamina one.
However the other two were both consistency pops, one for a guy netting in batting and fielding and the other in batting and keeping! :dontask: How does that work? Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on November 21, 2007, 12:57:03 AM batting + fielding is exactly the same for consistency and concentration as batting+wicketkeeping, both train the secondaries :)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on November 21, 2007, 01:12:02 AM Oh ok, thanks for that, I just assumed that a batting net would only ever help concentration ( and batting too...hopefully..lol )
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on November 21, 2007, 01:17:37 AM occasionally helps ;)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on November 21, 2007, 11:15:59 AM batting trains concentration but fielding and wicket keeping train both as both are needed to keep wicket or field
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on November 26, 2007, 10:40:24 AM Three pops for me today all for my "trainee" all rounder - truth is he's by far best player in squad now so trainee tag kind of doesnt apply any more. Stamina to Respectable, Batting to Strong and Bowling to Competent
Plays For: Matts Monkeys Nationality: England Age: 18 Years Old Battrick Rating: 17,140 (+1416) Wages: £1,242 p/w Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: feeble Batting: strong Concentration: respectable Bowling: competent Consistency: respectable Fielding: woeful These are his stats now but i know that next week he'll pop in both Concentration and Consistency to Proficient (maybe WK too but that immaterial). Question is how much extra do you think i'll get on transfer market with the extra two pops, is it worth keeping him on nets for another week or selling him now? Also what would people think the going rate for a player like this would be on the market? Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on November 26, 2007, 11:06:49 AM I'd expect at the very minimum 2m being hopeful of double that.
Worth the wait... probably.. people still get drawn by the BTR ratings.. getting him to 20kBTR would more than likely mean much more money I had no pops today. some pleasing and some annoying form changes too My 18wk/batter ( due to pop to strong batting and superb w/k ) jumped 1500BTR to over 16k, and my 17yo all rounder ( up for sale at a ridiculous 4m) jumped just 61BTR despite being heavily netted Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on November 26, 2007, 11:11:08 AM It's always worth hanging on for a pop if they will happen in the next week, and people will pay more for higher secondaries.
I had 2 pops this week, stamina to proficient on one of my trainee bowlers, and bowling to respectable on someone who will be sold as soon as his contract expires. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: divaflava on November 26, 2007, 11:16:57 AM Three pops for me today all for my "trainee" all rounder - truth is he's by far best player in squad now so trainee tag kind of doesnt apply any more. Stamina to Respectable, Batting to Strong and Bowling to Competent Plays For: Matts Monkeys Nationality: England Age: 18 Years Old Battrick Rating: 17,140 (+1416) Wages: £1,242 p/w Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: feeble Batting: strong Concentration: respectable Bowling: competent Consistency: respectable Fielding: woeful These are his stats now but i know that next week he'll pop in both Concentration and Consistency to Proficient (maybe WK too but that immaterial). Question is how much extra do you think i'll get on transfer market with the extra two pops, is it worth keeping him on nets for another week or selling him now? Also what would people think the going rate for a player like this would be on the market? He's only got real value as a bastmen at the moment, so 2mill, maybe a little more. Until the primary hits respectable you are talking only a hundred grand on top for the bowling value. Popping batting to superb/superb and bowling to respectable/strong and I reckon maybe closing on 4mill with a bit of inflation but Bongo is prob the guy to ask. Nice batting pop on Tzaneen today (now strong/prof) and this year's 17yr old trainee is now respectable bowling, so wlll make prof by end of the season, which is nice. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on November 26, 2007, 01:56:49 PM Respectable bowling isn't likely to have too much value to someone who can afford to be splashing out 4mill though - although admittedly the high secondaries are nice.
If I was to get a player like that I imagine he'd be used as batter who bowled a few overs in FC games, and maybe in the easier OD games (fitness permitting!) I'd also think it depends on your cash, what you'd do with the freed up nets and when he'd pop again.. I also think you'd get a bit more than 2 million for and 18yo strong with decent stamina and secondaries... Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on November 26, 2007, 06:36:42 PM Moving the discussion back down to basement level... ;D
Two pops today with my first choice keeper moving up to "strong" keeping and a consistency up to "competent" for a young bowler. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: kingjon on November 28, 2007, 08:12:56 PM 2 fielding pops, 1 bat pop, 1 bowl pop - big week for me, now ive got two 17 y.o's on proficient primaries...
regarding that 18 y.o. strong bowler mentioned above, i'd definitely wait for the secondaries to pop. If you're after money quickly, sell after the pops for > 2m, probably 2.5 - 3, but it's probably worth putting a post on the battrick valuation forum, as some of those guys are clued up - it'll also advertise the guy, so he may get more interest. if you're not after money quick, there are two options - aim high with the selling price - perhaps 3 - 3.5m and hope some muppet bids... you can always lower the price if no-one does. Alternatively, carry on training him in batting+bowling until late 19's when he should be at quality/strong batting/bowling. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on December 03, 2007, 10:20:32 AM 2 pops today
A fielding pop to abysmal on a bowler, a useless cons pop to woeful on a batter! Expecting a few next week! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on December 03, 2007, 10:46:37 AM wicket keeping to moderate and consistency to proficent on all rounder. Had hoped for concentration as well but i've put him on market at 4m just to see if anyone is interested then i can free up his nets. Otherwise he'll stay on and pop to proficient in concentration next week. At least i can now start using stamina and bowling nets for other players :)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 03, 2007, 11:29:11 AM Another strong bowler ;)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bazzaboy on December 03, 2007, 03:38:06 PM nothing, nada, zilch :(

Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on December 05, 2007, 10:43:34 AM Nice one this week with two pops for a 17 year old batter who's now up to respectable batting and competent concentration which puts him very near the top of my squad! :P
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: divaflava on December 10, 2007, 12:11:02 PM batting and conc!
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 10, 2007, 12:50:22 PM Stamina to prof on one of my trainee bowlers and bowling to resp on a dude I'm going to sell.
I think batman must be broken as it's telling my one of my guys is 50% past a cons pop! My destructive F still can't gain any bowling form though, if it carries on any longer I'll be making a bug report that he isn't called Harmison. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on December 10, 2007, 12:59:24 PM I think batman must be broken as it's telling my one of my guys is 50% past a cons pop! My batman is the same - its ok when a player pops in something for the first time but then to pop in the same catagory for a second time the % is always around 120+% before he pops the following week - i'm guessing that for the third pop in a same catagory it would go up again (though i will probably sell trainee before then). No pops for me this week but wasnt expecting any after taking trainee all rounder off his vigerous nets routine Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on December 10, 2007, 02:54:15 PM Good day for me...
My 18 yo wk/batter popped to strong batting and superb keeping :) My 2nd best 17yo popped to comp bowling :) Due a 17yo to pop to strong bowling any day, and for the rest of the season will be specifically targeting certain players, so the minimum everyone is is comp/comp Title: Re: battrick pops...

experiance upto woefull cons upto comp conc upto abysmal 18 year old batsman fielding to respectable 17 year old batsman batting up strong Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on December 17, 2007, 10:18:25 AM 17yo bowler to comp stamina
17yo bowler to comp cons not too shabby Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 17, 2007, 11:15:13 AM Nothing!
Hopefully I should get lots next week. Good news is Hall has managed to get himself upto woeful bowling form! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 17, 2007, 04:05:53 PM my 17 year old spinner a stamina pop
my 17 year pld strong batsman a conc pop to proficent bongo how much you reckon this guys worth?

Post by: Bongo on December 17, 2007, 04:16:06 PM lots!
£3mill? Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 17, 2007, 04:23:47 PM this guy pops next week alot less or a little less?
Plays For: Ironshire Nationality: New Zealand Age: 18 Years Old Battrick Rating: 10,535 (+503) Wages: £1,193 p/w Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting: proficient Concentration: mediocre Bowling: mediocre Consistency: abysmal Fielding: respectable this guy pops next week but dont tell kingjon as i wasnt meant to buy him Plays For: Ironshire Nationality: England Age: 17 Years Old Battrick Rating: 10,145 (+513) Wages: £569 p/w Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal Bowling: respectable Consistency: competent Fielding: competent finally i got some players over 10k just bought in a new player for next season too now i am 2 short for the new season they will be my 2 new trainees (might only have spots for 1 as i am still going to train the above Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 17, 2007, 04:25:52 PM 18yo would be quite a bit less, year older, less stamina and less conc. I'd still list him for £3mill though.
last dude is looking nice too! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 17, 2007, 04:28:35 PM oh the bowler is destructive RFM
the thing with the 18 yr he can fill with some spin in the FC matches Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 17, 2007, 04:34:35 PM I'd be keeping them all myself :P
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 17, 2007, 04:36:34 PM the plan is to keep them just wanting to know how much i made
the 18 year old i bought for 32k the 17 strong was a YP and the bowler 286k (i over paid for him i blame kingjon) Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 17, 2007, 04:40:01 PM You've had the 268k guy a long time then?
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 17, 2007, 05:01:00 PM 21/10/07

Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on December 18, 2007, 10:15:23 PM I always regret reading this thread as it scares me thinking about next season's hammerings I'm going to get! ;gobsmacked;
Anyway couple of useful bowling pops + 1 stamina this week....... Stephen Sam - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,402 RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, sublime A destructive player with feeble leadership skills and worthless experience. Stamina: feeble Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless Bowling: competent Consistency: competent Fielding: feeble Fitzroy Mcleod - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,593 RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic A destructive player with proficient leadership skills and worthless experience.

Post by: Ironside on December 24, 2007, 09:57:40 AM well today i should have bowling pop for my 17 year old rfm stamina pop for my 17 year old spinner and a batting pop for my 18 year old batsman
5 minutes to wait and see fingers are crossed Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 24, 2007, 11:24:42 AM Was expecting loads of decent pops today, only got one - consistency to prof on one of my bowlers.
Destructive Fast Bowler continues his rise in form and has now reached competent! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on December 24, 2007, 02:46:38 PM 17yo to resp batting 18yo spinner to feeble fielding and concentration.. ggrrrrr my just bought 19yo all rounder for 300k this week popped to proficient batting and abysmal fielding... happy day today :) Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Nakor on December 24, 2007, 09:19:38 PM Is Superb the top level for Stamina ?
If yes can it decline if you stop giving nets? Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 24, 2007, 09:26:09 PM only after the age of 27 i think could be 30
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 25, 2007, 03:07:02 AM Superb is the top level you can see, but a further 6 weeks of nets will still see gains (you can occasionally find players on the market with quality stamina... the only place you can see that).
Players will start to decline in stamina from 32/33 years old, otherwise it won't decline. Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on December 31, 2007, 10:29:52 AM my spinner popped today to pro bowling and a fielding pop for my RFM
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on December 31, 2007, 10:52:51 AM I've just managed to pick up my third buy on the transfer market following the £3.25mil sale of Killen - paid £300k for.......... Plays For: Matts Monkeys Nationality: New Zealand Age: 20 Years Old Battrick Rating: 7,641 (+12) Wages: £1,147 p/w Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: feeble Batting: respectable Concentration: woeful Bowling: mediocre Consistency: respectable Fielding: worthless Ok, so fielding is worthless but to be honest in todays over inflated transfer market i figure that if one of my 11 players cant field then ho hum. Its coming up to the end of the season and i dont really have any important games to play so i'm free to put him in nets til the beginning of next season. while 20-21 years old it'll only take 4-4&1/2 weeks to improve the secondary skills while putting in fielding and WK net at same time so in 12 weeks or so i will have his concentration upto competent and by then his batting should be up to proficient. At the same time his bowling will be competent with strong or even suberb consistency. 12 weeks on stamina net also and that will be up to respectable. I think i've picked up a bargain given the prices of others on the market :) right i'm going to go pay attention in the sunday million now i've survived the first hour donk-a-thon instead of trawling the battrick transfer market! :D I picked this guy up on transfer market 2 weeks ago and already bowling pop to competent and concentration pop to feeble. Hopefully i'll have his stamina to competent and consistency to proficient before the start of next season with it not being too long into start of season to get his concentration to mediocre. Not sure when he'll pop in batting to proficient but again hopefully not long into the start of the season. The plan was to keep him in the nets for 12 weeks but will see if i need to rest him and start playing him in games at the start of the season once we kick off :) Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: matt674 on December 31, 2007, 11:04:42 AM just realized his rating has gone up by over 2300 points in the same two weeks also - not bad considering he hasnt touched bat or ball in a competitive game :D
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on December 31, 2007, 12:54:30 PM My new project
Tristan Wilks - 19 yo, BT Rating=6,239 LH Batsman, LF Bowler, abysmal batting form, worthless bowling form, lively A destructive player with proficient leadership skills and abysmal experience. Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: worthless Batting: proficient Concentration: feeble Bowling: competent Consistency: abysmal Fielding: abysmal in 2 weeks he's had a batting, conc and fielding pop. Got the feeling he could be a damn good all rounder by the end of next season. he was the only one to pop today with his conc pop My wk/batter should be a 20k rated player next week Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on December 31, 2007, 01:25:23 PM Bowling to strong on my all rounder, batting to quality on a batsman and batting and concentration pops on a dude I will shortly be selling...
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on January 04, 2008, 01:31:48 AM Just a stamina pop from one of my more underrated players. Always been more of a backup but couple more pops in right places and he could be one of my best! ( ok...I know my squad's not the best around! :D )
Matt Brill (1599056) LH Batsman, LM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime A cautious player with worthless leadership skills and worthless experience.

Post by: Bongo on January 04, 2008, 01:36:23 AM I wouldn't bother training him myself - you're far better off training a younger player!
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: KeithyB on January 04, 2008, 01:53:28 AM In my defence lol, all rest in training are 17 except for wk but I've left Brill in there as otherwise I will have to field five bowlers all with worthless batting all the time.
The more experienced I get in this game the more I believe that I must have inherited one of the worse squads possible when I joined though! Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on January 07, 2008, 12:57:13 PM Only 1 player popped for me today, so it's lucky he popped 3 times: stamina, batting, concentration - my first remarkable primary! ;)
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on January 07, 2008, 09:53:29 PM Not a one today, however have my first 20k rated player!!
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on January 14, 2008, 09:04:56 PM good day today
my wk/batter popped to respectable stamina, he'll be superb by the end of next season :) A useless conc pop for a bowler but he should be over 10k next week too, and soon to pop to strong bowling Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on January 14, 2008, 09:06:40 PM not one today
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on January 14, 2008, 09:08:01 PM Conc pop on a bowler... useful! :P
Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: amcgrath1uk on January 14, 2008, 09:09:11 PM Conc pop on a bowler... useful! :P HIGHLY. good game today wasnt it Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Ironside on January 14, 2008, 09:11:10 PM Conc pop on a bowler... useful! :P it is when he is fielding Title: Re: battrick pops... Post by: Bongo on January 14, 2008, 09:14:33 PM Or batting!
