I always regret reading this thread as it scares me thinking about next season's hammerings I'm going to get! 

Anyway couple of useful bowling pops + 1 stamina this week.......

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

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!

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

Is Superb the top level for Stamina ?

If yes can it decline if you stop giving nets?

[Ironside]

only after the age of 27 i think could be 30

[Bongo]

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.

my spinner popped today to pro bowling and a fielding pop for my RFM

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!

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

[matt674]

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

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
