Thanks HP :D


-Shame im getting smashed in my current game.. http://www.fromthepavilion.org/scorecard.htm?gameId=1409103

[Luigi197]

Lost another match :(

-Hey people should i be doing anything, or changing anything about my pitch? (i.e. Crumbling, flat etc. )

[Justin Bieber]

As by your ratings, it says your Spinners are your strong point. I'd try to make a pitch which favors them. Although, it depends on your strength in the batters or bowlers. If your bowlers are strong, try to get a bowler's pitch to help them. Vice versa with the batters and a batters pitch.

How have I been doing as i have been on for almost three weeks?
Have bought players, and won a few matches. I'm doing OK aren't I?

[Justin Bieber]

You're doing well Luigi. Takes a while to build up a team so as long as you stick around, they'll get better.

[Luigi197]

You're doing well Luigi. Takes a while to build up a team so as long as you stick around, they'll get better.

Any other comments, suggestions or advice?
Obviously my team isnt going to get anywhere if i dont buy any players; but i dont have enough cash!
Should i just wait a little while and take some Gate Takings and what-not, so i get more money, then i can buy! right? but who would i aim to buy?

Any training's i should change? any i should look out for?
tips on my academy? 
anyone got a Friendly Comp i can join?


-btw, do players Pop and Plop in a BOT team?

[Justin Bieber]

No pops/plops in Bot teams.

I'd say keep improving academies if possible, especially Seniors.
Keep an eye on the TM incase a player is going for cheap, but make sure you don't get carried away and get into a bidding war ;). Always bargains floating around but hard to find them :(.

Try to work on orders with your current lineup. If some players seem to consistently not perform (underperform) then could try to change things up (e.g moving a batter at 5 to 2 to see if he can score better there if he's fallen in like 2-3 games for less than 15 or something).

[Luigi197]

I have been doing the suggested line up, so based on my performances recently, maybe i should just tweak that a bit and see where it gets me, right?

But i though I should invest in my Youths a bit more? Cause they are pretty bad ATM; or are my Seniors struggling. Currently i am investing a bit more (6000 more) on my Youths.

[Justin Bieber]

Youths will always struggle ;). Only reason people invest in Youths is to eventually be able to pull and live off their Youth academy rather than going onto the Transfer Market. A very long term plan so don't need it straight away. Seniors are where the main money is at and where you are more oriented at first so would go their first.

I never do suggested lineup as I like making mine from scratch then setting default orders to my starting XI then tweak from there. Only the bad performers you can try to revise their positions if they haven't performed for quite some time ;).
