How do you afford to put 3x the average in youth. I did that at the start if the season and I was losing money each week. Even now I can barely afford the average.

Player Talents

Player talents are specific characteristics a player possesses that can make them perform better than normal in certain situations. All players in FTP are given one or two talents. Talents are designed to add a little more variety to your players, and to add another strategic aspect to the game.

Talents can be classified into two main categories, passive talents and triggered talents.

Passive talents are skills that are thought to be always in effect. For example, a player with the talent Skilled(Batting) will receive a bonus to his batting ability during the entirety of his innings.
Passive Talents
Skilled (Batting) Receives a bonus to batting skill during matches.
Skilled (Bowling) Receives a bonus to bowling skill during matches.
Skilled (Keeping) Receives a bonus to keeping skill during matches.
Skilled (Technique) Receives a bonus to technique skill during matches.
Skilled (Power) Receives a bonus to power skill during matches.
Gifted (Batting) Trains in batting faster than normal.
Gifted (Endurance) Trains in endurance faster than normal.
Gifted (Technique) Trains in technique faster than normal.
Gifted (Bowling) Trains in bowling faster than normal.
Gifted (Power) Trains in power faster than normal.
Gifted (Keeping) Trains in keeping faster than normal.
Gifted (Fielding) Trains in fielding faster than normal.
Prodigy Trains faster in all skills while in the youth squad.
Natural Leader Receives a bonus to captaincy skill during matches.
Sturdy Recovers from fatigue faster than normal.
Opener Performs better than normal when batting at the start of an innings.
Finisher Performs better than normal when batting at the end of an innings.
Spin Specialist Performs better than normal when batting against spin bowlers.
Seam Specialist Performs better than normal when batting against seam bowlers.
New Ball Bowler Performs better than normal when bowling at the start of an innings.
Old Ball Bowler Performs better than normal when bowling at the end of an innings.
Safe Hands Receives a bonus to any fielding related skill check during a match.

Triggered talents are special skills that have a small chance of occurring, or 'triggering', during a delivery. For example, a player with the Yorker talent can occassionally bowl an almost unplayable yorker that has a much higher chance than normal of dismissing a batsman.

Triggered Talents
Wrongun Particularly skilled at bowling a wrongun, which is delivery bowled by a wrist spinner that spins in the opposite direction compared to the bowler's stock delivery.
Flipper Particularly skilled at bowling a flipper, which is delivery bowled by a wrist spinner that is faster than normal and skids straight on.
Slower Ball Particularly skilled at bowling a disguised slower ball. All bowler types can have this talent.
Swing Particularly skilled at swing bowling. Fast, fast medium and medium pace bowlers can have this talent.
Bouncer Particularly skilled at bowling a faster and well directed bouncer. Fast, fast medium and medium pace bowlers can have this talent.
Yorker Particularly skilled at bowling a yorker, a delivery that bounces at the popping crease, or near the feet of the batsman. Fast, fast medium and medium pace bowlers can have this talent.
Arm Ball Particularly skilled at bowling an arm ball, a delivery bowled by a finger spinner that goes straight on after pitching without turning.
Accumulator When batting, the batsman is more likely than normal to be able to turn what would normally be a dot ball into a single or two runs.
Boundary Hitter When batting, the batsman is able to occassionally turn a delivery that would otherwise be a dot ball into a four or six.

Awesome idea, too bad the randomness didnt help, will give an example with my youth squad:



Code: 
Goonatilleke 	Opener, Prodigy
Ragnekar	Gifted (Endurance)
Baddewithana	Skilled (Power), Seam Specialist
Kaluperuma	Gifted (Bowling)
Dikkumbura	Finisher
De Saram	Old Ball Bowler
Indrani		New Ball Bowler, Gifted (Endurance)
Fuard		Gifted (Fielding)
Harshana	Safe Hands, Prodigy
Sandeera	Gifted (Batting)
Kuruvilla	Prodigy, Safe Hands
Sure there are some good good ones, but my Reasonable bat is Gifted Bowling and my Reasonable Bowl is Gifted Batting. Silly game.

Arthurton takes Harshana's spot for now, making my tail even longer. Pulled an absolute dud, so he was fired, leaving my youth squad at 25.

Hmm just had a look at mine, only really good talent is a 17yo reasonable bat being a prodigy and specialist opener. Most of my good youth bats are gifted or skilled, but my youth bowlers and most of my senior players have talents in the wrong areas. Will make it interesting though, training times should be more difficult to work out.

Haven't really been paying attention to my side lately, trying to get back into it now.

Youth squad batting: 1x reasonable, 6x average, 6x ordinary
Youth squad bowling: 1x reasonable, 5x average, 8x ordinary

Senior squad batting: 3x average, 8x ordinary
Senior squad bowling: 1x capable, 8x average, 7x ordinary

Should probably promote some of my youth batsmen itbt, senior squad lineup is a bit crap. Need to offload a few players as well as training efficiency is only at 80% in my youth squad and 92% in the senior squad. Currently on track for promotion in Twenty20 and youth OD, but coming third in senior OD.

Senior One Day: #1 in One Day 3.4
Ranking: Country: 1 / 35. World: 3 / 863

Haha got demoted to Div 4 SL and I'm in a league full of bots this season, wish I could demote my youth players back to youth squad now. Oh well atleast I can build a side for the future and sell all my older players. Mind you it doesn't seem like the transfer market is very active.

Haha Dwyer's 3rd best Youth XI in SL, got demoted to Div 4. Atleast they should be finally be able to win matches.

My rankings are pretty dismal, should start paying more attention instead of playing the same default lineup every match. Got geg in my new Twenty20 league and youth league, didn't promote in OD.
