As you can see there is a lot of new blood there. I will only change squads if managers want to with hold rookies or if I've included someone already in the existing teams.

All the rookies are included at the moment. From what I've read from other threads only S Stanton (Vic) and R Kripal (Mumb) will be replaced with other academy players. Can these managers confirm that they want to keep these players or if any other manager wants to keep a player in their own squad let me know.

Do people want to see scorecards or just averages. I think most people will only want to see the averages. I can post a short break down of the scorecard to make it simple ( the usual top scores and good figures). I will look to start running some time next week.

The G Chapple in Academy F is already in the game. I had him my Warwickshire side last season. he got released and was not picked up by another team, (of coarse this might be another G Chapple).

With regards Chapple, I would've thought he's in there as he wasn't picked up the draft.

As for the stats of all the players, has already stated that nobody but the Argonaut will have the Academy files, and no-one will know the stats until the end of the series.

I think a short card like you suggested is best Arg!

I am not asking for the vc stats.the stats as the squad profiles of the teams.In which we know the original avg of a player after the adjustment by vc.

I am talking about the stats which is given out for the rookie players.I think that stat should be given out atleast.

But why do you need them?

A lot of them are available, you just need to search for them yourself.

It's a waste of time you having them anyway as the stats will be updated again before you see them at the draft period. And you will see who's good then the teams play, it's a nice change that people will have to go on form rather than just pick the players with the best stats.

How do you update their stats?
Well Blewy sees who Kent signs and then puts their avg up by about 20, anyone else loses 20... Simple :saint:

No really it's the same as real life, as they play their figures update depending on how they play, eg matches - runs etc

If a guy avg 35 and in the Academy only avg 25, his overall avg will drop, if he has a avg of 40 the overall avg will rise.

ok. I'm just curious, because with the rookies you aren't given any precise stats. eg 400 runs @ 40. All you are given is the average and some bowling stats. Is there a technique you have worked out? I would reall like to find out...

If all the secrets were revealed, then where would the fun in playing be?

I think it's better to leave it to GB and let him follow the rules he's always used.
