FTP: Transfers

[hedger_14]

haha, nice Iri

Being a staff member is good

You get a bonus if your bowlers are different handed, e.g. if you have both a left hander and a right hander bowling at the same time. I think it might be the same with batsmen too.

An extra doubt over this on bowling:

Does this bonus apply when a duo of rfm and lm are bowling? Or do they solely apply only when the duo are rfm and lfm (or) rm and lm? I mean should they be of the same bowling type with opposite bowling hands (or) can they be of any bowling type with opposite bowling hands to get a bonus?

 

[hedger_14]

I didn't even know there was a bonus for bowling partnerships. I knew there was a bonus for left handed bowlers though.

 

[Chewie]

Just opposite hands. I'm not even sure if they have to be bowling at the same time, so long as some of your bowlers are left handed and some are right handed.

 

[Chewie]

Despite those skills Iridium, I think you might be paying a bit too much for Burgess at the moment... Though to be fair I'd like a player like that in my team I need someone to bat at 6 for me. I'm bidding on another guy though, who has a pretty awesome name

 

[Iridium]

Stalker I'm pretty happy to pay that for him. I've already got a finisher but this guy is much better. Might help my batting last a little longer.

Who are you bidding on?

 

[Chewie]

Steve McQueen

Hoping to get him for under 200k. His problem is he has no relevant talents and slightly low fielding. Still, he's better than the guy he'll be replacing.

 

[Iridium]

Well he's not bad at all.

Annoying thing is about the guy I'm bidding on is that I'm going to be out when the auction ends and I bet you someone's going to come in last minute and nick him.

 

[Chewie]

That guy won't be me of course

 

[hedger_14]

Well I could

But I'm not going to look to rebuild my senior side until at least next season when my better 19 year olds reach the senior side.

Bidding on this guy. Going to train him as a batsman if I get him. Secondaries already decent, ordinary batting summary. 3.7k of spare ratings so should be close to a batting/tech pop. Current bid $33,075.

----------

Well Burgess I don't reckon is worth that much anyway

 

[Iridium]

That would be a death sentence if you did

----------

I was only look to buy one player since my squad is pretty settled. If I don't get him, no big deal.

 

[hedger_14]

haha, don't worry. I'm not going to pay that much for him :P

 

[Iridium]

Jealousy is a cruel mistress....

I'm going to (hopefully) start an FTP story and try to keep it going for the entire season (hedger I'm looking at you ). If Burgess turns out to be a waste of my moolah, I can add that in as a fail on my part and you can laugh.

Can't think of a title though....

 

[Chewie]

Well Iridium got him despite being out

----------

Just got this guy for 12k
