Will Def pull Patel's net once he gets to Strong in the next month or so, but not sure if I should sell him. He's Comp Field, which is one of the better in my side, and Sup/Feeb lead, which would be difficult to top without going into the realms of 30-odd YO players, or internationals, who are way out of my price-range. Besides, Strong/Resp Bat will almost certainly be good enough to get in my top seven for another three seasons still. Although, on the other side of the coin, I'm yet to be convinced of how important captaincy is? A couple of seasons ago I switched my batting order around, but forgot to move the armband. Consequently a Feeb/Abs captain skippered us for a few matches before I noticed the mistake, with no appreciable difference in team performance. Perhaps it's another one of those things which won't come into its own until FC?

So I can free up one net when Patel pops, and I suppose I could take cash's fielding net away? Do you think I'd get more change out of: A, two Bowling nets on Bewers? B, A Bowl and a Field on Bewers? C, as I am currently, a Bowl on Bewers and a Field on Cash?

But not going to pull Staveley's batting net in favour of giving another to Greening. Partly because Staveley is my most consistent performer. Greening hits a spectacular knock one in four innings, but leaves the week-to-week donkey-work up to Staveley. And Secondly, given how far Greening's Conc lags behind his Batting, and how long it takes to train secondaries, (even with a WK net as he has currently), I'm not even sure if I'm going to keep Greening long term.

Normally have an end-of-season fat camp, where I sack all the coaches, and replace them with 10 fitness coaches to get all the first XI up a level of Stam. But seeing as there's another delay in FC, and all the starting team are already Comp or better Stam, I don't think I'm going to bother this time, as I figure I'll get more out of just pressing on with the regular training over an extended closed season.

BTW, don't worry about the centre parting - Speaking as a man who, through the course of his life, has sported both a mullet and bleached blond hair - I'm hardly in a position to give out fashion tips!
