Not a bad side to get going with, I guess. You may simply want to buy a med bowler to replace Samaranayake, considering you have a mediocre batsman below him.


Anyway, Got a 100k bid on Benjamin with 2 hours to go. This pays off the money I spent on upgrading my academy to superb and gives me an extra bit of cash. Wonder if I'll get any more bids.

I've got this guys off the bench:

Mohamed Madheny - 19 yo, BT Rating=2,986
RH Batsman, RF Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
An attacking player with worthless leadership skills and worthless experience.
Stamina: woeful Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: abysmal Concentration: mediocre
Bowling: mediocre Consistency: feeble
Fielding: feeble

Tharmi told me to bat Samaranayake above Jebamani cus his got abysmal stamina. I was thinking when i get Jebamani stamina up to woeful to bring in Madheny, as Samaranayke batting wont be needed as much. I'll see how my top order goes in the first couple games.

Sounds like a good plan. What are your finances, btw? Be careful not to go bankrupt within your first week!

After i brought all my staff, not looking too good I went a bit overboard but we should be ok, hopefully.

Balance Current Balance: £200,000
Projected balance at next Update: £8,723

Sounds like me when I started with my current team. Don't worry, just sit on your hands for a bit and don't buy anyone and claw back some cash and you'll be on your way

 

[NZTailender]

Just made a tidy 92k profit on Benjamin.

 

[marc71178]

I've just listed a couple for nil that might fit Tamil Eelam CC...

Snap.

My team is Drunk XI btw, Thamba

 

[new_age_ar]

Thanks guys i but i've already got plenty of mediocre players. I've noticed that you can get older respectable for pretty much nothing. Might wait till Saturday's update before i buy any more players anyway.

EDIT: btw just noticed i brought a player from the Colts' spinner sides, Weber, his team VCC right. Also noticed one of Tharmi old players Anton Baptise is on the market for nil.

 

[AussieDominance]

Yep all the teams are on the first page Thamba Baptiste good hunting

Got a 1m bid for this guy, pretty happy with that to be honest as he's not good enough for my team anymore and I was only keeping him for FC which seemed pointless to me as I don't have any all-rounders at the moment so fitness shouldn't be too much of a problem:

Brijesh Singh - 22 yo, BT Rating=21,818 [transfer listed]
LH Batsman, LH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, strong bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with mediocre leadership skills and feeble experience.
Stamina: respectable Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: competent Concentration: proficient
Bowling: competent Consistency: superb
Fielding: woeful

Eh? How much would this guy sell for, then?

Taran Islam - 23 yo, BT Rating=17,845
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
A destructive player with mediocre leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: abysmal
Batting: competent Concentration: proficient

[Scaly piscine]

Probably up around 2 million.



I'm free for a friendly in case anyone is interested in aiding Summers' rehabilitation back into being a gun bowler.

 

[Bobisback]

Ill play you scaly

EDIT: Challenged you at yours, figured you would want to play there.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Someone gun like nibbs or Mahinidididididno play me in a friendly.

Alternatively, someone who's got a similar squad. Clapo or Rodgie perhaps. Have to avenge my fallen bretheren at Bobisback.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Someone gun like nibbs or Mahinidididididno play me in a friendly.

Gun enough?

 

[Agent TBY]

Probably up around 2 million.

So if I get a combined 3.5 million for Islam and Barton put together, and have 1.5 million in the bank already, what level bowler would I have a chance of getting?

Also, do I list them after the games tomorrow? For 2mil and 1.5mil each?

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Gun enough?

 

[Adamc]

With 5m you'd be lucky to get a wonderful, you might be able to manage a remarkable with half-decent secondaries. I got a wonderful for 5.3m, but only because his stamina was woeful.

This guy worth it? He's got wages of £7,391 p/w, atm. I wonder if anyone'll be willing to put in early bids for my players if I list them.
