Zain, I hope you are reading this. I almost feel tempted to keep him for myself...
Starting price will be 200K. Should sell for wayyy above that.

 

[Adarsh]

That's a great pull Zorax. You should keep him for yourself. He could be a superb bowler by the end of this season. Don't sell!

Bowling: competent Consistency: feeble
Fielding: worthless

Anyway, this is my pull with 30 ITS, resp academy. I'm quite disappointed, but he's not bad. I can't really train him as I have way better trainees. So, I'm selling him. He's selling for ?10,000 now.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

But Tuckett and Rudi are better trainees, can't stop them. For the first time, I am seriously considering stopping Crouch's training. Give 1 stam and 2 bwl to this guy...wait for stamina to hit Strong, toss him a fielding...

But then again, if I sell him I'll have loads of cash. Next season I am gonna stop Crouch's training anyways, with the cash I'll have by then I could buy a good trainee if I don't get a good one from the academy. But if I do get a good trainee from the academy, I could use the 2.5 mill I expect to have by then to buy a superstar!

But if I train him now, I won't need a new trainee....

Decisions, decisions!!!!!

Ok, I think I'll train him. He is very close to proficient. So lets say 16 weeks (2 weeks to get to proficient), 2 nets means a pop every 7 weeks, he will be, as Adarsh said, Superb at the end of the season. With Respectable stamina if I am lucky...

Jonathon Muir - 17 yo, BT Rating=3,646
RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A steady player with respectable leadership skills and abysmal experience.
Stamina: competent Wicket Keeping: worthless
Batting: competent Concentration: feeble
Bowling: worthless Consistency: worthless
Fielding: abysmal

34 ITS from my strong academy, I'm fairly happy. Just 1 batting net for the moment as I want to be able to play him. Stiles is already a great player, and will be even better, but his PFL is too low for him to be any use at the moment. He's down to 1 batting net, Muir taking his second.

Danny Sanders (925720)
RH Batsman, RM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, fresh
A cautious player with abysmal leadership skills and abysmal experience.

Plays For: Briggs Bullets
Nationality: England
Age: 17 Years Old
Battrick Rating: 4,020
Wages: ?525 p/w

Stamina: feeble (10) Wicket Keeping: mediocre
Batting: worthless Concentration: worthless
Bowling: mediocre (11) Consistency: competent (11)
Fielding: abysmal

32 ITS used, not sure whether to train him or not, Keeping was a bonus as was fielding although not much of one. Some people have been pulling some amazing youths though on the sledging threads!

 

[Adarsh]

That's not a great pull Briggsey, to be honest. I doubt he'll sell for much, maybe 5k. I suggest you keep him as a back up player in your squad, with the players now playing so many games.

 

[borncricketer]

my youth pull...weirdly i was able to spend 36 ITS....i thought 35 was the max....

I think he was worth the 36 ITS

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Wow, better than mine! Suprising that he has lower wages though, probably a lower Respectable.

 

[zainawan89]

Great pull borncricketer he might sell for over 700k

Don't know what to do. My second ITS heavy pull of the year, put them into bowling, stamina and consistency. I have room for one bowling net, and one other net - I guess you guys are going to reccomend batting, but his concentration is too low to turn into a genuine all rounder. Should I sell or train? And how quickly will Consistency improve if I train?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Train I say. 2 bowling nets if you need an good spinner. If not, try 1 bowling and 1 stamina, let stamina hit proficient/strong, then give him a fielding.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

Im going to wait one more week so I have 30 ITS to pull a good player.

 

[FreddieFan]

Train I say. 2 bowling nets if you need an good spinner. If not, try 1 bowling and 1 stamina, let stamina hit proficient/strong, then give him a fielding.

I've gone for the former. Respectable stamina is pretty good. If all my team were that, I'd be a happy man.

I've got a pretty good spinner but he's just turned 29, se Stone here can replace him when he's ready.

Couple of questions. How long for a 17 YO to pop in Consistency on 2 bowling nets? And is there any way to tell how high a bowling mediocre he is based on wages, given that he's mediocre in batting and bowling?

 

[Adarsh]

Another bad YP for me. Competant bowler with mediocre stamina and feeble cons. Will be used in the cup games.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I'd say he is a low-mid in both.
And it depends on how many Pyscs you have. Two nets will have the same as 1 net of the same type anyways, so I'd guess he'd pop only once, twice if you are lucky, this season.
