I have ?220,000 and I am thinking of buying some respectables with low secondaries as you can get them for around ?20,000 each. What do you all think I should do?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

yeh buy the respectables if you can get them for cheap, older the better as with the new changes older players will improve in conc/cons better,

buy 5 maybe give each a fielding and stamina net (if they need it) the ones with high wages possibly give them a primary aswell,


train mackin as a destructive spinner oculd be great on the 3rd day in the FC games, plus he is young,

what is his wage he migth be near respectable

 

[Pak_cricketer]

See If you ever have 1,000,000 (like Me) you don't really have problems
I am buying a 39000 BTR Player atm!

 

[The Spin]

Thanks Pak_cricketer, that was very helpful :

Sincere thanks to ste

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Hey, don't be sarcastic

Right now you need to work on your batting as I feel your bowling is fine. I looked in the transfer list for good batsmen. Here is one that I found:

Stephen Gray
(Just look him up in the "search option")

He is 17 Years old, young, and a great WK. At a pretty good price as well 43,000.

 

[The Spin]

thanks mate, have bid for him.

I am picking up some bowlers as well just to help me along

EDIT: Currently set to spend 200,000 of my 220,000 on 6 players, 3 batters 1 wk and 2 bowlers all respectable (wk is proficient, competent batting) with poor/decent secondary

 

[FreddieFan]

For a start, your squad is too big. 25 players currently, up to 31 if your bids are successful. I have 21, and that is too many, I have 5 or 6 up for sale. Don't want to sack them, I'd rather get a few quid for them, but paying wages to people who are never going to play is a waste of money. Sell or sack!

 

[Adarsh]

Yeah, I have 15 good players who are all capable of playing in my team. Sell all the bad ones. If I were you, I'd fire some of them as well.

 

[Briggsey]

Spin when I took over your team I noticed you had quite a lot of ITS saved up, if i were you id use if this week after the update and see what you get, you could get quite a gem with the amounts you've put in!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I prefer a decent sized squad (20 ish). When FC games come around it will be easier to swap players around.
Also keep a good amount of allrounders around. And allrounders should be better bowlers than batters.

 

[The Spin]

If you notice on some of the players it says transfer listed next to them, if they dont sell they will be sacked

And I used all 30 ITS on Leon Harding.

30 only? I used 46 on my new batter Ridley Dunn.
