Why you putting him on keeping?

Because keeping is getting a huge boost under the new ME, I have no money or ITS to get a keeper and my current one is getting on in years, so might as well use my spare net to get his keeping comp+

Making fielding more important is a bummer I reckon, especially for someone like me who is still trying to form a well rounded squad.

I really wish I didn't make so many mistakes early on in my managing career, and I had money in the bank now.

 

[Hooper]

Don't worry bout it, everyone made the mistake of buying over priced players.

You'll recover.

Fielding meaning more is putrid.. All mine are pretty much worthless. I'm gonna be dropping everything.

 

[Jakester1288]

Yeah same. No one trains it, except for nat players, and players who have to get their secondarys up. I'll be tweaked over as well.

Angry has some monsters in the field so he'll be benefiting. I got most of my trainee up to feeble/med but that was more getting the secondaries up.

 

[Highlander999]

Yeah same. No one trains it, except for nat players, and players who have to get their secondarys up. I'll be flinged over as well.

Having Manders at wonderful fielding and Bradley at quality fielding looks like it might be useful now Plus having a bunch of resp/comp fielders should help me out I reckon

I'd better train up a keeper soon, my keeper ATM isn't great, he's just there to fill the position.

Stamina: mediocre Wicket Keeping: mediocre
Batting: respectable Concentration: respectable
Bowling: woeful Consistency: worthless
Fielding: woeful

At 22, he's not good enough to warrant training.

 

[Highlander999]

Just stick a keeping net on one of your young batting trainee's. As long as you get it to comp/resp+ you'll be fine

 

[Jakester1288]

Might as well just make my next generation of trainee a keeper. I've got 40 ITS, might as well put less on conc as keeping will naturally improve his conc too.

Sounds like a plan.

A sweet ass pop

I realise he's bad, but I just pulled him and with keeping being more important in the new ME, might as well train him up. Shame I could only get 26 ITS for the pull with my academy condition, but he'll have to do.

[Highlander999]

From what I gathered keepers also need semi decent fielding as well, Jake

 

[Jakester1288]

Ah fearsome tweak.

 

[voldemort]

jake, get a better wkb...

look for med or comp batting with at least feeble stamina, wk and concentration, in accordance to what tom said, a little fielding and a field net shouldn't hurt, you will get plenty of those in the market now...

abysmal stamina and worthless isnt good enough for any team, even if it is your first day in BT

TIP: Dream Big :sarcasm

It just depends how eager you are to bog down 4 nets on a below-average trainee who will be unplayable for two seasons. With perseverance, he will eventually be useful, but in the time it takes, you could also find someone who is a much more efficient use of nets, even with a head start.

Sometimes you're better off just giving extra nets to your best trainees until you find that guy. All those guys could benefit from a fielding net and the batsman could use a little stamina as well. If you do that for two seasons, you'll get an extra 29 pops out of those 3 potentially quite powerful players as opposed to the 19 on one player who would still only be pretty average at that point.

Of course, it doesn't give you a wicket keeper and you would still have to work on that. However, in the short term, neither will that player.
