Managed to beat a bloke with a sensational top order

Just a quick note to advise that Cup draw and details are now up on the separate thread.  First games this weekend so please sort out challenges ASAP.

wow 11 divs

[Bongo]

Will be in 7 or 8.

Don't really like the new FC structure, or the extra T20 games, or the way they've structured the T20 leagues.

Much agreed

Playing this less and less as weeks go by..

However, my top players are taking shape now...

Liam Tortoishell - 20 yo, BT Rating=71,147
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic fitness.
A cautious player with competent leadership skills and proficient experience.
Stamina:    proficient    Wicket Keeping:    quality
Batting:    remarkable    Concentration:    sensational
Bowling:    abysmal    Consistency:    mediocre
Fielding:    feeble

Thinking now that £5.4m was a bargain for this bloke.. focused on his stamina ( up from competent) and due to pop in batting any week now

Richard Naykutse - 17 yo, BT Rating=12,456
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, strong batting form, competent bowling form, fresh fitness.
A defensive player with superb leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina:    mediocre    Wicket Keeping:    worthless
Batting:    respectable    Concentration:    respectable
Bowling:    respectable    Consistency:    respectable
Fielding:    woeful

As my top players pop, ths bloke will be getting more nets. Might be a monster by the end of next year ( and he's a spin all rounder to complement my seam all rounder)

this week saw promotion to Div 4 in One Day and i think prob Div 9 in First Class - but also the demise of the Monkey Youth Academy - after more than 1 season of absolutely awful youth pulls the board took the decision to stop spending any money on youth instead saving it to spend on the transfer market instead

I had some nice pops today:

 Shaun Glazier - 21 yo, BT Rating=96,255 shortcut
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, lively fitness.
An attacking player with superb leadership skills and mediocre experience.
Stamina:    proficient    Wicket Keeping:    feeble
Batting:    wonderful    Concentration:    wonderful
Bowling:    remarkable    Consistency:    wonderful
Fielding:    strong

3. Martin Disley - 22 yo, BT Rating=59,334 shortcut
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, respectable batting form, feeble bowling form, invigorated fitness.
A destructive player with competent leadership skills and proficient experience.
Stamina:    strong    Wicket Keeping:    worthless
Batting:    exceptional    Concentration:    sensational
Bowling:    worthless    Consistency:    feeble
Fielding:    proficient

He'll be superb stamina soon too!

Also means Clarke is just a week or 2 from sensational batting - I think I'll probably stop training him then.

got 8million selling 3 17 yr old today happy xmas

[Ironside]

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i might lose alot of the money

looking at it looks like there was 3 or 4 bidding for a player including ladbrooke rovers as he was very cheap
about 560k then the next bid was 6 million and then one more bid

i think one guy added an extra 0 when bidding and the 2nd guy didnt notice this so just bid on it will be wrong if they take my 6 million away as i did mention n the boards before there should be a safety check for that sort of thing

I did wonder why he'd gone for so much.  Didn't look like a £6m player based on what I could see last night.
