If you can get this guy for less than $5k then go for him.

You need a minimum of 12 players. Fire all of you remaining youths (19 and under) until you have 12 remaining.

So basically you need to buy 11 or 12 20yr olds to build your senior squad up.  When thats done and you learn more about the game you can start to make your team increasingly better.
Minimum of 12 but I wouldn't go over 15 players in a senior squad just yet (waste of money on wages especially at the start). I learnt the hard way :P. But what Baz said is a good way to go. 1 in, 1 out 8).

I posted this in the other thread but will again here:

I use the search as:
Age = 20.
Tech = Reliable.
Endurance = Average.
Fielding = Average (Quite low if you ask me :P).
Experience = Ordinary.

BATTERS:
Skilled Batter with Decent Secondaries. Recommended for a Budget.
Acc/Rel and a prospect with secondaries.
Similar to above to a lesser extent.
Very all rounded but wasted skills but is Gifted Batter. Recommended.
Batter with Gifted Tech and decent secondaries. Recommended.
Decent secondaries + OPENER talent. Recommend for those looking for one.
Cap/Rel FINISHER with Capable Fielding. Highly Recommend for those on a Budget.
Batter with solid secondaries and reasonable experience. Recommended.

BOWLERS:
Fast Medium with alright secondaries. Batting talents though.
Good Project Fasty with Skilled Power. Recommended.
Finger Spinner but decent secondaries. Acc/Acc Medium with Yorker Talent. Recommended.
Finger Spinner but good secondaries. Recommended.
Finger Spinner with good secondaries. Recommended.
Medium who can Bat a bit with good secondaries. Gifted Bowling and Reasonable Experience. Recommend but may go up a bit.
Skilled Tech Finger Spinner with decent secondaries.
Medium who can bat a bit combined with solid secondaries. Highly recommended for those looking for one.

Think Baz is trying to get you to cut down your wages. They don't cost alot so could keep them all if you want to. I love a Youth squad the size of 15-20 as it doesn't cost as much for the players but only if you are going to pay attention to them (many on here don't bother).

Just make sure you only have 12 youths. This saves wages for you to improve other areas.

We say this because seniors is where you will make money in the short term. Forget about your youths until you are happy with the way your senior squad and academies are.

Obviously this isn't a rule, and you can decide to play FTP however you wish. For me this is the easiest and quickest way to become competitive in FTP. Ultimately it is up to you   ;)

I like having fun so built my Youths up from the start (buying 16/17 y.o's for less than 5k to help). Don't buy any now as they are going for crazy prices.

I like having a solid squad for all 3 SOD, T20 and YOD so that it adds another element into FTP lifestyle.

True Hp. Now that my SA has reached Lavish, the required maximum investment is lower, si I can afford to invest on improving++ into my youths. My YA is only at inadequate but hopefully with a pop every 5 weeks it can reach Lavish by the end of next season  :)

How do I know who to fire?

I'm getting conflicting reports...for example:

http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=756432

Obviously, his skills are very poor, yet he has the one of the highest ranking of any player in my team.  ???

You need to reveal your players skills C4. Go to office - preferences - reveal all player skills.

If this is one of the highest rating players in your squad, you need to completely rebuild. Like we said, you need to have a squad of at least capable/reliable primary skilled players to be competitive. This guy is about as bad a player that you could imagine for a 25yr old. Take a look at my squad and you will soon see the difference ...

If you pick up about 12 new players of reli/reli ability then this player should GO along with every other player in your senior squad - just fire them as no one will buy them and it costs $1000 to put them on the transfer market.  You should be able to pick up Reliable/Reliable bowlers and batsman for under $5k each.  Try and look for a keeper/batsman that have bat/tech/keeping of capable

lol I think I have it backwards. The higher the number in the ratings the better.  :P  ::)

Okay, I think I understand now.

Time to make a squad.

Hey C4 just looked at your youth squad to see if there was anyone worth selling. You could probably get a fair bit of money for Owen Bush since it is the very start of the season. I would advise selling him :)
