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?

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

Hey, don't be sarcastic :p

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.
