BT Week One Yoofs

[Yorkshire Blue]

It's odd considering they bowl just 4 overs a game. All my other players are back to sublime, except my all-rounder.

All my bowlers were fine playing 20 overs of league and cup a week, with on average one net. But they can't manage 20 odd overs of BT20, including a few TIEs. My team fitness level was also as high as its been all season!

I wonder if it might be a bug related to player form, as I've only had this problem since they announced that variable form was being switched back on.

I would think he will pop on Monday, how much did you pay for him loz ?

Mine went for £2,169,000 in the end, I've now got over 3 milion in the bank. Only problem is that cash burns a hole in my BT pocket, and I really mustn't waste it....

Prices are absolutely mental, Stamina is very valuable atm. I've been keeping an eye on a couple of players, and I've seen Comp Stamina, Comp Batting, Mediocre Conc going for over 400k !! Admittedly they were quite close to popping, but that's still crazy money.

a whopping 23k, quite chuffed with that one... for those of you looking to sell 17yo's, looking at the market at the moment there seems to be a lot of bowlers around, decent bats are getting bigger money.

 

[Grayson]

There's a real inconsistency in the market for competents at the moment. Some are going for around £30K, while others are going at prices like £250K.

Should have gone for a batsman then. My mediocre-mediocre bowler still hadn't attracted a bid of £1,000 last time I checked!

He'll be a decent trainee for you. How many nets do you plan on giving him?

I particularly like his concentration, that'll mean (if you want to, which you may not) you can give him a second batting net without having to give him a fielding net.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I'd give him 1 Stamina until he pops to Competent and just 1 batting net, he'll still be Respectable Batting, Proficient (at least) Conc, Comp Stamina by the end of the season. Very nice for 23k !

That's probably down to how close to Respectable they are...

I assume you mean his consistency? :p

at the moment i had him down for 2 bowling and 1 fielding, but that's not a bad shout, the fielding could probably be better used elsewhere. He'll get a fitness net to get him to comp as soon as i get a couple of pops.

 

[Grayson]

I'd leave my trainee alone loz, I noticed you had bid on him earlier, but I think he's a low competent judging by his wage of £540 which includes feeble bowling.

Oops, I thought you said he was a batsman.

I definitely wouldn't bother with a fielding net for him. Go for another trainee - even if its just a mediocre-mediocre for £1,000.

already have, picked up 2 med-med bats with comp/med stamina, about 10k total for the pair. One of them might have to play a bit (to give me the nets to train my wk/bat up) but it's not like it's a great waste of money.

yeah... and judging by when his deadline is, i'd expect a flurry of late bids as well, doubt i'll have the cash for him.

Sounds like your team is shaping up nicely. How are you going to split the nets?

[Grayson]

My guy went for £100K! Very surprised, but pleased too.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I pulled a potential all-rounder.

Medicore-mediocre bowling, competent-worthless batting and mediocre fitness. Would be a half decent trainee for someone with at least 3 spare nets (1x bat, 1x bowl, 1xfielding - and if you had a spare net an extra bowling net would be nice).

Listed for 0 if anyone is interested. I think his name was something like Uriah Otto.

Nick's asked me to list his potential all rounder for any noobs out there, wage suggests pops in the offing:
