Bargain or Robbed

[amcgrath1uk]

stick him on 1 fielding + 1 wk to improve secondaries faster

This is my latest buy

  Lee Duke - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,450
RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, abysmal batting form, mediocre bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina:    competent    Wicket Keeping:    worthless
Batting:    respectable    Concentration:    mediocre
Bowling:    feeble    Consistency:    worthless
Fielding:    woeful

Not bad for 435k I think. Will fill a gap in my lower batting order ( prob no 5/6)

Any way I can take a player off the transfer list in battrick?

No, but you can bid for him yourself. It would still cost you he 5% 'agent's fee' tho.

[KeithyB]

Ok....see what you make of these two....personally I reckon I've been a bit lucky!   

Few days ago I decided to sell my wk who realistically was my only chance of getting some decent money.  I was hoping to get around £250k but figured it was worth a try before the listing fees started to put him on at a ridiculous price as there was nothing to lose! His stats....

Carlton Jan - 20 yo, BT Rating=8,392   
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, strong batting form, proficient bowling form, energetic
A destructive player with feeble leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: mediocre Concentration: feeble
Bowling: abysmal Consistency: mediocre
Fielding: woeful

Anyway some kind soul kindly bid early at my asking price of £1,450,000  >:?

This allowed me to go hunting for a replacement and I snapped up this guy for £80,000, which seemed reasonable especially seeing as he previously sold for over £600,000   

Ronnie Hutchison - 17 yo, BT Rating=8,789 
RH Batsman, LFM Bowler, worthless batting form, strong bowling form, sublime
A steady player with superb leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: strong
Batting: mediocre Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: worthless Consistency: feeble
Fielding: abysmal     

So basically I think I now have a better wk who is three years younger and an extra £1.3 million or so in the bank!   

[KeithyB]

PS It won't change the fact I'm going to get thrashed every game this season but at least I won't be bankrupt and getting thrashed every game!   

[Bongo]

That's some nice business you've done there

[KeithyB]

Cheers Bongo!   

I won't be spending it on players as I don't think it's enough to improve my squad sufficiently for survival in the league I'm in now.
So I'm aiming to get it up to £1.6m in bank and then spend the max £80k interest each week on players to improve my squad, couple of prospects and also look to get the academy in shape for the following season.

My new motto is......... Battrick...it's not a short term game!   

[Ironside]

get 4 nets on him fast

fitness wk fielding and batting

or even 2 batting 1 fielding and 1WK might not be able to play him week in week out but will be a great player in a season or 2

[amcgrath1uk]

awesome bit of business there Keithy!

Not blown away by him for the price but he's definitely closer to bargain than robbed I'd say. And esp as he's just a backup.

But market seems very volatile currently so who knows! .  Earlier in week players seemed to be quite cheap but now they're suddenly very expensive again.

My all rounder cost £17k at backend of last year and he's done ok so you should be alright with those higher secondaries.
