BT Valuations

On a completely separate note, I see BT England is now officially (all but) full:

Current Waiting Lists and Team Availability:
England 15 waiting, 2 available
Australia 6 waiting, 247 available
India 5 waiting, 1894 available
New Zealand 1 waiting, 2151 available
South Africa 2 waiting, 263 available
West Indies 1 waiting, 374 available
Pakistan 3 waiting, 303 available
Sri Lanka 1 waiting, 475 available

Level VII on the way next season. Makes more sense than expanding Level VI.


there's a lot of turnover in VI though, there's 4 teams in my league who have different (human) managers than they had at the start.
 
Finally got a half decent youth pull.

LH Batsman, LFM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, changeable
An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience.

Plays For: Geoff_Boycotts_Grandmother XI
Nationality: England
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 5,055
Wages: £621 p/w
Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: worthless Concentration: abysmal
Bowling: competent Consistency: competent
Fielding: woeful

He looks like a high competent to me.

Can't say I've been paying much attention to the transfer market for youth pulls recently, but how much do you reckon I'll get for him without training him, and how much if I train him up to respectable?
 
there's a med/comp/comp spinner who doesn't finish for another 4.5 hours, he's at 109k at the moment. generally, i think seamers are selling for a bit more than spinners too. there's a lot of variation in prices though, it depends if you can get a few teams into a bidding war or not.

B - do you reckon he's worth giving one or two weeks bowling before selling him? I'd probably have to give up a fielding net on someone to do it.
 
To give you an idea, earlier in the season I trained a 17yo for (I think) three weeks to get them to respectable/competent with competent stamina and he sold for £750k. Your guy looks pretty close if you compare his wage so I'd go for it

Hmm, slightly higher wage, higher BTR (although he's presumably been trained since) plus later on in the season, so I doubt I'll get that much. However I need to start skill trading to build up funds.
 
Respectable / Comp bats with Mediocre Stamina (not 17yos) have been going for about 500k, so I reckon you should be looking at at least that much if you train him up.

At the absolute worst, he is 5 weeks away. However if that's the case, then he'll pop cons as well, on 1 bowling net.
 
anyone want to hazard a guess at how close this guy is to a bowling pop, and how much he's worth? he was only pulled a couple of weeks ago so i think wages should be accurate? Am pondering a bid for him, he's at 70k at the moment. I like the stamina, also the little bit o' batting, + superb leadership - don't have an attacking quick bowler and want one to open up.

Hmm, he could be a little bit away, because the Respectable Stamina could be worth anything between £96 and £217 of the wage. If it's the former he's still about 4-5 weeks away, if the latter then I would guess he has just popped in bowling.

However, that's not to say that he wouldn't do a reasonable job for you.

cheers. He's at 130k already, so i think he's going to end up at more than i'd want to pay for him anyway given that uncertainty about his sub-levels.
