[Sheriff Fatman]

I've accepted your challenge Sheriff, I gave up scouting your team because I don't know if I'll be facing your first second or third team...

I was feeling good about my team, then I had a look at the rest of the group...

I'm planning to acquire a 4th choice team sometime during the week to muddy the waters a bit!

[Wardonkey]

Hard to say, maybe £200kish?

Try asking in the player ads sledging boards.

I've posted on there, it is now amongst 50 odd other valuation requests waiting for responses...

I think anywhere between 100k and 200k.

I think I'll probably keep him, but he's just popped if I'm going to sell I should do it now.

Eggy's internet connection has died and he seems to be the person who replies to most.

I'd do a sideways trade to a new 17yo old trainee who is a bit more balanced, something like comp batting with ok stamina/conc/fielding (something like med/feeble). The 17yo will most likely perform better this season and should be around proficient by the end of the season. You might even make some money on the deal!

A comp batter with med stamina and concentration averaged about 100 for me last season (not doing so well this season mind).

I'm going to drop people who haven't sorted their games out a PM tomorrow (as they may not have seen the fixtures yet) - can people let me know if their fixture hasn't been sorted please.

Does that mean I might get a transfer out of the 'group of death'? 

[Wardonkey]

Or is my team so rubbish that every group will be a deadly one...

[Bongo]

I think you were right the first time - I wouldn't want to be in that group...

I think it might be interesting actually (and this goes for the whole of the cup) - you would expect the div 5 teams to have better teams, but not by too much, but the div 6 teams are more likely to be winning every week and have good morale (which helps performance).

And I just was only planning on making sure people knew they were meant to be playing, hopefully we won't have mass drop outs and need a re-org.
