[ash chaulk]

Wow he's a good player, but I can't believe someone's shelling out 300,000 for him

me too hes been performing crap hes been on the transfers for a while now and having no hope of promotion ive decided to invest money into my club

 

[Scaly piscine]

btw how do you know when players pop

Record their initial details into a program (there are ones in Community --> Links, I think the one I have isn't in there and I can't remember where I got it from) then record (click and drag, then press Ctrl + C or right click + copy) the new details after the training update (Monday 10am local time) - the program should indicate the increases.

Personally I also record each training update in a text file like below - since the program spots the pops it's very quick to just copy and paste the whole lot again and change the relevant values - I use this as a simple backup I can manipulate easily:

3-2 4-5 5 5 - Ronnie Baker 26 yo BT=2989 destructive player Righty RF, L 8, exp 4
2-3 5-2 3 2 - Tony Cawson 24yo BT=1352 defensive player Lefty LH spin, L 4, exp 1
2-3 2-3 2 5 5 Geoff Kirk (wk) 26yo BT=2174 steady player Lefty L 1, exp 1
2-5 3-4 3 2 - Glen Loyal 19yo BT=1913 cautious player Righty LM, L 1, exp 1
2-8 2-2 2 6 - Del Mcdonagh 17yo BT=3748 attacking player Lefty LH spin, L 5, exp 1
3-6 2-4 3 4 4 Roy Saint (wk) 19yo BT=3358 destructive player Righty, L 4, exp 1
2-2 2-3 5 4 3 Niall Smith 26yo BT=2007 destructive player Righty, L 8, exp 4
4-4 2-4 3 4 - Martyn Swift 19yo BT=1583 cautious player Lefty LM, L 9, exp 1

I'm playing an inactive team that's now bot controlled but has the players in the right order. Wish I'd have known earlier.

 

[GotSpin]

Thank you very much adamc, i feel so important now

Who gets the money, and why are the attendances so low?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Chased down the target of 92 in 13.3 overs, bah I would have batted first if I'd known they were a bot and scored 350 and give my run rate an even bigger boost.

Should go for 25+ yo players, the second guy is OK I guess, the other two are awful tho.

This guy I keep trying to sell is easily better than the first guy:

You just sold Seager for 324k ash, I'm sure you can afford to buy someone good.

Who gets the money, and why are the attendances so low?

No one gets any money from it, dunno why the attendances are so low (I guess everyone's watching on TV...) but since there's no revenue it's not really an issue atm.

 

[ash chaulk]

yep pleased to do that although he helped me win a league game today im finally coming good.... set the pitch to dusty as the other team had an aussie fast bowler (langhammer) he still tokk 4wickets but my spinners ripped thru there attack.

Viveash 182

Seager 47
Allsopp 41

Langhammer 4/42

Penguin boy 128

Beevers 4/21
Garrick 4/28

Biggest match of the season for me, playing on GFI obviously. Should be a close one looking at our respective ratings from the friendlies and league matches. Won the toss and batted - might've bowled if it was overcast, but it's sunny, so I'll just back Cuss and co. to do the job. His two opening bowlers are both better than Gillespie (they were submitted for NT consideration so I know their stats) so if I can get through their opening spells unscathed I should be alright.

 

[Adamc]

Damn, lost Gillete after a solid start. 54-1 after 9 overs is OK on an uneven pitch against two gun bowlers though. Berry played this shot on his first ball:

8.5 6 Carden to Berry
Very short and drives over the midwicket boundary.

Sounds physically impossible to me.

 

[Adamc]

Everyone should check the news page. Lots of stuff relating to season 3, major overhauls in some areas. New youth academy stuff is going to be very interesting.

Oh, but no FC games next season, damn. Just lost my second wicket (not Cuss ).
