I don't have that many 0_o
Most of my guys are under 25 but have almost reached their peak primary wise-

1. Blake Hay exp/exp but 26 so secondary training from here.
2. Darya is 28.
3. Willow Shagmeister Outs/outs at 22 he will be Spec/spec.
4. Alex Linton Accom/accom close to a tech pop will be exp/exp maybe outs/outs.
5. Budh Yavar Exp/accom but he will be Exp/exp soon.
6. Nuwan Bowen Reli/Accom/Accom but needs secondary work so won't get much further.
7. Shoaib Khan/Austin Collins Both expert keeping Khan reli/reli at 22 Collins cap/reli at 20. Collins will be awesome.
8. Paul Rimmington Out/outs but he is 25.
9. Gramapala Phalgun Exp/accom has very nice secondaries so he'll probably get to Outs/outs.
10. Giani Ramiah Exp/exp at 23 with decent secondaries I don't think he will get much higher. MAYBE.
11. Abongile Sodumo Exp/exp but if I give him primary work it will be batting :P

[8-6 Suited]

Now thats a lie... I only just yesterday put WD40 on it. It now moves smoothly and silently. That rust however is an issue I can't help with. :P



By the way R&B, shame I didn't have you this week in the FFPL, as this round happens to fall on my 25th Birthday being Jan 6th. So I only have a chance to celebrate beating BOOMZ... Not you. :(


My teams has recently taken a change to age and experience to make up for the youth I have building. But every player that is in my top starting 11 has a minimum of exp/exp except for Sammy Phillips my keeper who I will be replacing later this season with an older guy with better keeping/fielding while I up his as he lets through too many byes.


Yesterdays team rated 147.7k and here is its break down:


1.Hugh Ingall - 25 -  Expert/Outsanding Opener. Hasn't performed fantastic since I have had him but does alright
2. Callum Miller - 24 - Expert/Expert with Capable power. Working Fielding for 2 pops then will go to power again. Done with primaries.
3. Terry Stephens - 27 - Expert/Expert with Expert Endurance and Power and capable Experience. Will work Fielding to Reliable and thats about it.
4. Matthew Pretty - 27 - Expert/Expert Seam Specialist with Outsanding Endurance and Accomplished power. Low fielding being Ordinary but will workt hat and that alone for the majority of his career with my team.
5. Phillip Lidgerwood - 29 - Expert/Expert bowler with Capable Batting and power. Expert Experience to boot. Will be kept but replaced at the end of the season/start of next.
6. Dalton Clements - 24 - Expert/Expert batsman with Outstanding Captaincy and not very good secondaries. Has my minimum on Fielding at reasonable so thats fine but is on Power for the next 2 seasons.
7. Sammy Phillips - 21 - Accomplished/Reliable batsman with Accomplished Keeping. Not fantastic but a solid young keeper. Will be replaced however due to my unhappiness with him but will be retained.
8. Patrick Kortlang - 30 - Expert/Accomplished FM with New Ball Bowler Talent, great secondaries. Oustanding summary and Spectactular experience. Will be replaced by the end of season with someone around 24-25 and similar stats.
9. Greg Hart  - 29 - Expert/Expert WS who will be sold at the EOS. Is int he team due to his experience and little batting with Finisher ability while Udana is built up.
10. Alamgir Samad - 22 - Expert/Oustanding FS with Decent secondaries. Will be Spec/Spec when I am done by end of the next season.
11. Zeke Jaber - 23 - Exp/Exp medium bowler with 2 talents, Swing and New Ball Bowler. Not great secondaries however but whatever.



Coming up I have 3 replacements in progress to take the reins already:

Anandbhuj Sreedevan - 21 - Expert/Expert with decent secondaries who will be made into an absolute gun. Going for Outsanding batting/tech by the end of the season then onto power.

Andrew Swain - 22 - Basically the exact same skills as Sreedevan and a similar future.

Baba Udana - 21 - Accomplished/Expert WS who is going to be aimed for Outs/Outs. Also an Accomplished captain.

[8-6 Suited]

So as you can see, yes it is aged a little but I really only need to find replacements for Lidgerwood and Kortlang.

Lidgerwoods replacement is most likely going to be a seaming all rounder. Having Samad in the making and him being as young as he is will make him the #1 Spin bowler. But I will be looking for a younger AR preferably a FM or F bowler with Lidgerwood's bowling abilities at a minimum of Exp/Exp and Cap batting.

lol god I hate flat haha. That's alright though, I need to try some strategies for Flat/Hard pitches ultimately anyway.

Best way to combat that is to play 2 all rounders ;). Gives you batting depth while not overly relying on batting.

[roo boys!]

This is the breakdown of my current 11-
1. Andy Duncan-25- Reli batting,  Accom tech, Capable bowl with pretty good secondaries and Opener talent. May get replaced if I get the AR I am watching.
2. Gilbert McLaughlin-23- Outs/Exp batsman. Secondaries working up, at an okay level but not great.
3. Renelle Furlonge-25- Outs/Outs batsman, good secondaries to boot, he is a gun batsman.
4. Wayne Makinson-27- Another Outs/Outs batsman with good secondaries also, my best batsman I think.
5. Fahad Hafeez-23- Only Exp/Exp but good secondaries and always does well because of these.
6. Matthew Beattie-24- Outs/Outs batsman again with secondaries being worked up. Accumulator talent also.
7. Arthur Cullen-24- Outs keeping, also Exp/Exp bat which helps. Pretty good fielding, power and endurance not bad.
8. Bhoganitha Chiba-25- Outs/Outs WS with pretty decent batting to boot. Great player.
9. Jean-Phillip van den Hof-26- Outs/Outs FS, probably needs some replacing soon...
10. John Worthington-24- Exp/Accom LF but he is just filling in until I can get a good FM within the next week or two.
11. Tom Stevenson-24- Outs/Outs LF, nice bowler :)

[Master Q]

I'll put up my line-up when I get time guys  :)

Finally got a No.6/No.7. My XI is now set  8)

Will bat at No.6 in SOD and No.7 in T20 (Menza at 6, Power  ;D ).

Now all I need is a Back-Up Batsmen (Not Desperate), a Youth Seam Bowler and a really good Senior Spinner but don't really need one now.

I`d buy Hof for sure RB if you find another good spinner.

[Justin Bieber]

Going by his rating alone, 30k is a massive overpay Q :o :o :o. Can you unlock him for us to see his stats?

Wage can also signal primary stats. Would give him maybe a Cap/Cap (maybe 1 Reliable) Bat/Tech.

[roo boys!]

Yeah Hof is hanging around for a while but will replace maybe EOS or next season ;)
