Question:
Should I, Luigi197, join From the Pavilion?
Option 1: YES, join FTP
Option 2: NO, don't join FTP
71.4% of people wanted me to join, and the remaining 28.2% voted not for me to join. i have joined. thanks :)
The more reviews and positive feedback I hear about it, posted in this thread, will convince me even more stay longer on FTP. So you can answer any of my questions, explain the different parts of the game, and give it your own rating and review; and that may further your case in getting me to join and stay on FTP.
PS: I have now joined up on FTP!! I will toss up some questions that i may want answered.. :)
Luigi :)
Its like Pringles - once you pop you cant stop
First of all, what's DTP? :P
It's similar to soccer manager in the way that you can just set orders (tactics) on the day of your match and then that's it. If you want to improve your team it will tka e abit more dedication, but you don't have to be on 24/7 or anything like that. Most if us just choose to be on that much. :P
Oh and if you vote NO, say why please?
Who voted for him not to join. I KILL YOU!!!

I voted no just to be different :P Seriously though you should join it's a great game 8)
Can check in once a week and do fine ;). Just need to set matches and once a week is more than enough :P.
To buy a good team may take a little while but should get a solid base right now for cheap ;). Up to you if you want to join as it's fun. Don't have to get addicted to it. I can go without it but I get bored alot :(.

Just be warned that you'll know straight away whether it's for you, because you'll either hate it straight away or get hooked :-X
But dont be angry if you get slaughtered when you first start, we all went through that.
There is only one reason that you should join FTP -
cos its the most awesomest (is that a word :P) game in the world ... oh and because all the guys on FF that play FTP are awesome.
Seriously it is extremely good fun. but as the others said, you can easily manage your team without the need to be on there every spare minute that you have (although it is strongly advised :P)

BTW Luigi - Join :D
LOL.
Haha I sold angus :P
He can go die somewhere else :D
I am encouraging age again :) There was a while where I went young, but I was falling behind Shaggy too far so I am going old again. Still got some young talent though :)
Join up Luigi, it is an AWESOME game.
4 no's! :o
Wouldnt it be a shame if the No's outscored the Yes's ? :o
Who else said no?

Read it properly Q ... I said in the past hour before I made this post ::)
Well at the moment the ratio of yes to no is 2.75:1.
I viewed it 4 times before deciding to post. :P
Would've though more people were playing FTP...? Lucky its still at 70.6%
If it is still that by Monday (because i wont have access to computer for the weekend), then i will join ;)
Put in a team request on Friday so it'll be ready by Monday :P.
That and the new season begins next week and you won't have a squad ready! Better join now so you can build a better squad :P.
So you're telling me i can make a squad or watever, now, and not have to do anything about it till monday?
(my point being becausse no computer from fri-sun..)
You register now and you likely won't get it until the weekend anyway :P.
League games start next week (Tuesday) so have a day or so to start building your senior lineup (as start up players aren't very good).
We know you'll always want to play on Green pitches ;)
It's good fun Luigi, get on 8)
Making it now... Should i do League Country for Australia?
Not Australia. Choose 1 of the lower countries. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh. Also lots of FF members are in Scotland.
Scotland it is
Player Nationality Australia though rite?
dont go kenya. whichever country you want luigi. it doesnt really matter cause most of them will be fired anyway
Lol right ok.
go for a smaller nation. i am canada, fletch is bermuda, BP is Dutch, Daz is UAE and well Q is Usa, Kenya and whoever else he has applied for
how often do you get emails from them? is it crazy a lot?
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 06, 2011, 11:14:30 AM
how often do you get emails from them? is it crazy a lot?
No. Trust me get Kenyan players. Kenya is the smallest nation with the least amount of players so you've got the most chance of starting with a gun.
dont go kenya. Q is just saying that pick a nation and stick to it. its all your choice luigi. Whichever small nation you want. Playing in scotland pick scotland
Meh I did Australia. At least i know that if they make the Aus squad, they must be good ;)
Waiting for my team now.
fair choice. hard chance of nats but most players from starting team will be fired. Should take 2 or 3 days
My pestering worked ;D
haha yeah it did luigi should join canada with us
I'd love that but I know he won't :(
He should join Kenya ;)
kenya sucks thats why we are gonna beat them at the u/19 world cup tonight

You can only bid once as you are the owner. No probs cookie, to want anymore would be greedy, and I'm not greedy... ;)
haha but you should still get more for him anyway. good player shame no talent. The big buyers will come out closer to deadline.

yeah i outbid you for my only bid. now wait till that fella comes back online and we make more money. He must have heaps of money. My player, yours and fletch
Hey cookie is the canadian offsite loading for you? It isnt for me :/
not sure i havent gone on lately. had my little post about last nights match
flower hopefully someone outbids me looks bad me having highest bid. someone please help.
Hold on, how would I be joining Canada with you, if my league country is Scotland and player nationalities are Australia? Are you guys like both in Canada or something?
Also why do you go on about my first players getting Fired?
they are normally that bad they wont sell. Me, BB and Rb are all apart of the Canadian Community. Members who support Canadian players and the Canadian National Teams
ok then? i guess it will start to make more sense once i get my team..

Ill deal with it :P.
Ill tell you when we are going. Easier to explain in person.
cheers BB. you can stop at 100k mate. you have done enough thanks
Yeah ok Ill stop then.
BB and cookie -- this is a 'help Luigi thread' , not a tell Luigi to join canada thread. Help him get his squads built up and let him make his own decisions about where his allegiances are. He needs advice with helping him to play the game, not which country to join.
To be honest i am getting sick of all this BS about which country is the best, where to pull from etc. Each individual has the right to decide for themselves who to associate with, but cookie - your constant dribbling on about canada being the best is really starting to piss me off. Everyone is entitled to voice their own opinion, but I am tired of you ramming your opinion down everybody's throats. Shaggy is a Nat assistant for Australia, and not once have I heard him brag that Australia is the best and that we should all swear our allegiances to them. He just does his Nat job and lets everyone else play the game how they like.

But Australia is the best :P. Go to say that I am a tad active in the Australian boards over on their forums :P. I agree with Baz though as you can't shove something down his throats. BB may try to persuade him but Luigi gets the decision. I go for Australia even though they are one of the bigger nations as I basically can't be stuffed going elsewhere. Tried going to New Zealand but ::). The U19 managers in Australia gave me a shot and are nice blokes so why not back to Australia 8). Gotta search around for yourself before you decide. Took me 2 seasons before I came up with mine.
My team is from all around the world as I like multi-cultural players. Don't care what nation they are from, as long as they fit the bill 8).
I never say Kenya are the best, because we aren't :P But when it comes to U-19s...
I might start getting involved in a community. The Dutch Nat Mamager seems like a great guy...
But I do have a soft spot for UAE for some reason. Hmmm. Im assuming once I decide their is no going back?
BTW Luigi good luck with your FTP. My advice is take advice ;)
You can always change, but don't do it too often and end up with your name being Maca Q
haha that is a good one shaggy
lol shaggy ;)
Im going to go check out both before I commit.
So could I end up being Manager or Assistant or whoever, of whichever country? Canada, Aus, UAE or Kenya?
Thanks for the help everyone, cant wait for a couple of days now :)
whichever community you join stick to. after awhile there is a fair chance you can.
You could but not for quite some time. ALOT of people take the NAT managers very seriously so will only be given to experienced managers or those well known in that community.
But I tend to try and make my players into Superstars and play for their country 8). It's funner as you see them grow :D.
Oh well, i'l stay low profile for a little while and just train up my team.
how about Leagues?
FF Leagues or something?
yeah it seems pretty fun HP and i get that feeling being a nat assistant wishing to see one of my players playing there. Feels good to see players recruited from your academy but would be better if you trained them up yourself to nats
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 06, 2011, 06:55:40 PM

FF Leagues or something?
Leagues are random for each country. You'll be put in the highest division in that country with a Bot team.
We usually make a competition or something where we play others from FF. Even without them, can challenge other FF users to a friendly (as is the competitions) on each Sunday (and Thursday if you are a Pav member).
Scotland Leagues FTW then!? ;) ;D
Haha, likely to be put in with somebody in one of the 3 leagues :P. I'm with a person from FF in all 3 of mine :D. Although the weakest in probably all of them in comparison to FF users :P.
Hold on, more than one league?
Youths, T20 and Senior One Day (SOD).
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 06, 2011, 07:35:43 PM

One Dayers (SOD), Twenty-20 (T20) and Youths (YOD)
ohh NICE!!!! :) kool ;)
hopefully will be with a fellow Scotland'er on FF.
Youths are One Dayers?
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 06, 2011, 07:37:56 PM

No youths play 40 overs instead of a 50 over OD.

Nah I kid I kid, I might, depends though what goes down in the Canadian Elections.
oi fella's, its my thread! ;) lol jks ;D
Are there player levels or ratings or something?
If I got a free vote I will, but I doubt I will. The Kenyan elections probably get no votes so my vote will count...
Yes.
My players > Everyone elses.
what would a good player rate and a youth player?
and is it just one rating overall? different for each position?

Yeah, the levels are:
Atrocious=0 rating
Dreadful=1000
Poor=2000
Ordinary=3000
Average=4000
Reasonable=5000
Capable=6000
Reliable=7000
Accomplished=8000
Expert=9000
Outstanding=10000
Spectacular=11000
Exceptional=12000
World Class=13000
Elite=14000
Legendary=15000
oh nice.
that would be their overall then..
No there are 7 skills- Batting, Bowling, Endurance, Keeping, Fielding, Power and Technique.
So for example my guy was-
Batting- Ordinary
Bowling-Ordinary
Fielding-Average
Keeping-Reasonable
Power-Dreadful
Endurance- Capable
Technique- Ordinary
Then all up his rating is 25000 (plus Spare ratings, which you will learn about later).
kool. looks fun.
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 06, 2011, 08:37:43 PM

It is if you persist with it for about 2 weeks. The first 2 weeks werent that fun for me because-
A) I sucked
B) Barlow kept trying to scam me to buy crap players by sending me numerous pm's.

I'm really glad i got this thread ;) I clogged up a lot of the Soccer Manager ones with me pestering CF and HP about SM, when all i couldve done was take the Tutorial! ;)
Luigi when it comes to choosing which country your players come from you can't be wrong...

FTP doesnt have a tutorial :|
I would advise, if you want, getting a mentor here- http://www.fromthepavilion.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2295&start=1380
The mentor will help you get better, I had one and helped me get on my feet- but still hang around here ;)
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/rules.html?rulespage=introduction
Read through all that Luigi as it's sort of a tutorial and tells you all the basics really. I also refer back to it for pitchs, prizemoney and other stuff.
When it comes to buying players, look for Cap/Cap at least (usually Rel/Rel) Bat/Bowl and Tech 20 year olds as you may get quite a few for less than 10k.

at end of wc i am running for canada u/19 manager. I dont expect many if any of you to vote for me as i am given the impression i am not liked my majority of the members on this forum
i would vote for you
really? even though i would always bag you out when i offered advice
yup
There is a nice way of offering advice cookie. If they don't listen then that is their problem. I don't understand the need to bag people out just because you don't agree with the way they play FTP.
thanks mate. probably left it a bit late though to get really active in the team.
I will vote for you, as I want to vote in the Canadian elections.
Also cookie, a lot of people bag each other here. We just take it our stride :).
Thanks bb. Hopefully I can get the position with a good speech and good finish to the season

How long does it take to get your team after registration?
About 2 or 3 days
Ok guys im in!!
(I have logged onto BB's FTP account with my computer, should i email or wateva, them to tell them? or should BB? or none at all since there is no transferring between us?)
also what should i be doing/checking now at the begginning? (i got my team in btw)
Just say you were at my house. I dont think they will care unless you persistently do it. Link to your team?
and did i just read that my membership could expire?
Yeah.
Is this you? http://www.fromthepavilion.org/club.htm?teamId=4943
Also, open all your players by going Office-Preferences-Reveal/Hide all player skills and then click Reveal all player skills.

Otherwise i just set their role to whatever they're trained in right?
Also where do i change my lineup?

You set the role. The game can't define what you have purchased that player for. It's purely to help you define your lineup. The role category is not essential.
Your lineup's are on the main page in your match section.

Luigi, the role is the position they play in your lineup. I have never heard of roles. YOu can change their training. Here is what each training skill does.
Batting Batting, technique, endurance
Bowling Bowling, technique, endurance
Keeping Keeping, technique, fielding, endurance
Fielding Fielding, technique, endurance
Fitness Endurance, power
All-rounder Batting, bowling (equal amount to batting), technique, endurance
Batting technique Technique, batting, endurance.
Bowling technique Technique, bowling, endurance.
Strength Power, endurance.
Rest Recovers one level of fatigue
Keeper-Batsman Keeping, batting, technique, fielding, endurance

I think what he means BB is the players rating...
One player might be rated 40,000 and have a Spec skill, and another might be 42,000 and not have a Spec skill
The answer is the ratings are a combination of all skills. Each skill being worth 1,000 points ranging from;
atrocious - 0 to legendary being 15,000. A list of all the levels can be found by hovering over the skill.
A players rating changes as you train them, and we have a thing called Spare ratings where all the combination of their skills might total 38,000 but their rating is 40,000, thus they have 2,000 in Spare ratings, thus they have some sub-levels in particular skills, but what is for you to find out by training them....
No. Thats the summary. Ratings are additions of all the skills numbered ratings, plus spare ratings. Spare ratings are:
R: Overall Rating
S: Spare Rating
B: Batting
Bo:Bowling
T: Technique
P: Power
E: Endurance
F: Fielding
K: Keeping
So spare ratings are:
R- (B+Bo+P+T+E+F+K)=S
Alrite then. as long as i now know that the higher rating means a better player! :)
i think i jjust signed my first player! http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=726969
Open him!
i wont reveal the players after i sign every one.,
ill reveall all in a little while so you can wait till i sign a few more.
Ok, but always reveal your yp so I can evaluate him.

No always, it depends if they have irrelevant skills like Bowling/Keeping for a good batsmen, etc
A good Out/out batsmen with Ord Bowling and Avg keeping may not be as good as a Spec/Spec batsmen with atrocious bowling/keeping. The latter may have a lower rating as the first one has an extra 7,000 in ratings...

Why do the deadlines of players keep increasing?

when somebody bids in the last minute the deadline is extended by a minute
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 07, 2011, 01:08:39 PM

Because people are bidding with less than a minute to go, which increases it by 1 minute.
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 07, 2011, 01:08:39 PM

If you bid within the last minute, it increases the deadline to allow another player to be able to bid. Always bid with more than 1 minute to go
Ok then :S

Yep. Just send the Mods a message to let them know you guys are friends and may use each other's computers from time to time. This means you two can't make transfers between yourselves though.

I'm guessing you mean ratings (e.g 39,000 Spect/Spect to a 43k Outs/Outs?). This is because of the other skills also contributing to the overall ratings (e.g Endurance, Fielding, Power, etc). I think that's what you wanted to know?
Hey guys help me out here. im spending too much money.
im not sure if these bids have been accepted yet, but i probs didnt need these players, but i have bidded on them.
if u can, could you bid higher for the player, so i dont get them? Cause i would assume you regulars have more money than me.

how do you put someone up for sale?
and does anyone use that Bidding Agent?
And what happens when your FTP membership runs out? Do i really have to win a cup or league to gain more days?

On their page, along the right column there should be an option to sell/fire player. If it's a player you originally started with, probably best to fire them as they won't sell (unless it's a youth who may sell but depends).
I don't use the bidding agent but I'm not a Pav member. It's handy if it's at a time you can't reach a comp when a player ends.
Quote from: Luigi197 on July 07, 2011, 03:29:10 PM

It just disappears and you will lose some functions (e.g bidding agent, more indepth search, somethings you can view during match, etc). You can win a friendly tournament but we usually just play friendlies or somebody makes it on here for fun. You can buy Pav membership (a month or two or even for a year). This is if you like the game and will continue for a while. No point buying it if you don't get FTP just yet. If you seem to like it after a few weeks and have a little spare change, can get some membership but not a neccesity.
So i could continue playing on for a while by just winning matches correct?
and whats the reserve price?
your reserve is the amount you want to pay for the player
the agent will keep you in front of the bidding by placing the next bid by the amount that you set
if you get outbid up until your reserve price
Not sure what you mean by continue playing on by winning matches?

FTP is free, paying will give you added features. Only way you can stop playing is you create a second team, cheat, or don't log on for 50 days.

I haven't had membership for months. You don't NEED it to play as it's free. You can't win matches to extend membership, have to pay or win friendly comps made by other managers. Usually have to either win these comps or pay (or get somebody else to pay for you as a gift). But you don't need it to play as it only gives you more access to other areas on the site. Can still enjoy the game very much without it.
ohhhhhhhhhhh So under Manager, it has Pavilion Member Yes (expires 06 Aug 2011). 0 game credit(s) available; because i just joined up.
So at Aug 6, i will end up with the same amount of features that probs you all have. i only seem to have added features and am a member for a month because im a newbie, right?
Yep. Whenever anybody joins up, they are given Pav membership for a month.
Some of us are Pav members, probably most aren't :P. But you won't miss out on too much as you'll forget you ever even had them :P.

ok thanks heaps then :) :D
you have pavillion membership until august 6 so you get the features til then.
it helps a lot when on the trade market
Use the features, esp. the bidding agent which i find very helpful.
actually yeah! I shall use the Bidding Agent now while i have the chance. i just realised how useful it could be ;D
Also Luigi, just looked at your seniors and you have 25 in there :o. I'd fire quite a few of them before training so that the ones you keep can get the most out of their training.
Fire the seniors from lowest wage up (under $1,000) as you will be getting rid of your worst seniors and list cloggers.
Keegan Bray in your Youth team is a your STAR for your Youths 8). Elliott Herman was a bargain at 8k but his wage may be a little too large to handle at first. But we'll see ;).
Before i started firing, i gave my players roles just to see where i have the most players, then fire from the worst up. Leave about 13-16 seniors
Was deciding between http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=532821 and http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=86688
At one stage i was bidding for both, but i decided to go for the Pom as he was younger. got him 8)
I've fired heaps of players now.
down to Seniors (17) | Youths (12) |
you should be happy i am not going to get to much batting practice i wouldn't think

That's a good amount. If you find more seniors (from the original squad) that aren't up to scratch, don't be afraid to fire.... especially if their wage is less than 1k.

Quote from: CrowsFan on July 07, 2011, 09:50:30 PM

I tend to go Batting or Bowling for all rounders. During this time, A tech pop will come up to let it catch up :P. If not, 2-3 weeks of Tech will catch it up.
I don't do all rounder training as well as it's a long term plan but takes probably over a season to get the pops from that kind of training.
How can someone be a Seam Specialist, if they are rubbish at bowling??
And im also REALLY confused in someone's training program.
I'm not sure what to put them on..
They might be a senior who is bad at Bowling, but if i put him on bowling, it most likely wont rise, so i put him on fielding.
But a youth is rubbish at everything, so i put him as an all-rounder.
So i end up with all Seniors for Fielding, and all Youths for All-Rounders.
Helpp!! ?

They specialize at batting against seam.
You put your players on what you want them to be good at Luigi.
Don't put a good batsmen on AR training, if he is in your side purely as a batsmen, same with Youths.
Fielding/Endo/Power training are secondaries and need to also be worked just like any normal person would work on them, whether they're a batsmen or bowler.
Remember it takes a number of weeks for players to pop, so don't think they're going to pop every week.

If you hover over the talent, you'll see what they specialise in. An Opener is only good at batting. If he is bad at batting, then its a wasted talent. A New Ball Bowler gets a bonus when opening the bowling
Opener = Opening Batsmen
New Ball Bowler = Opening Bowler
Luigi talents are random. For example some bowlers are gifted at keeping.
ok. so i really shouldnt be training on what they need to be worked on, just what they are in my team for. got it :) thank you!

Secondaries (Endurance, Fielding, Power) need to be trained pretty much always, but Primaries (Batting, Bowling, Technique) normally only one is meant to be trained, depending on what they are in your squad for. Keeping is only for keepers.
should i still be training Seniors on Primaries?
An example would be Herman, your 28yo RFS, he has Gifted Endurance, therefore he trains faster in Endo than other skills.
He also would need to be trained in fielding, as it only poor. Although this will only increase at a slowish rate due to being 28. At this age Power/Endo are the best to train in. He doesn't really need Power though as he is a spinner.

I never used it. Try to find good combo's inside your team. If they are the best combo's, then stick to it.
i click it if most of my players are out of place, then i just do a couple of changes to my lineup.
Ok. ATM i think the suggested line-up is good considering the players i have.
Maybe when i have more players to choose from i will put more of my own thoughts into it...
Speaking of which, do you gain money from anything except by selling players? If so how much and how?
Yeah, gate takings, and sponsorship.
In the rules, I think it says how much.

You gain money each week from Sponsorship. You also gain money from gate takings (small percentage on away games, large percentage on home games). You also get money from gate takings in the Pavilion Cup (PC for short) which is split 50/50.
I am not sure if you get gate takings from challenge games (as I never play them).
You don't valk.
Do you get a lot of money from Sponsorship and Gate Taking at home games and Pavilian Cup Games?

Pav cup is split 50/50. I've never won a Pav Cup game, and looks like I won't for another season, playing a very high ranked team - again. Once you get into the later rounds you get given extra prize money which makes up for the fatigue lost as you are playing an extra game each week.
Home games you get the majority of the money.
Hey hey!! so after every game (except for friendlies), i'm guaranteed some money, but i get a lot more in home games.
I like that Sponsorship amount, a sigh of relief seeing the amount of money i have now. :)
i know you wont know for sure, but about how much do you receive after a game, home or away.?

I think the ticket price is different per division
SOD
Gate Takings = $45,710
Tickets Sold = 7,824
= $5.84 per ticket
T20
Gate Takings = $36,960
Tickets Sold = 8,000
= $4.62 per ticket
Those were my last 2 games takings
ahhh ok. Phew. I feel much better.

You wont get that much and I think the ticket prices are different for each division. Also you get considerably smaller gate takings for an away game. (I dont have stats for that)

I WIN!!! I WIN!!! I WIN!!!
My first win of my career :) :) :)
Who or What should i be buying. Bowler or batters atm?
you look to need batters based on ratings
Very good win Luigi 8).
luigi your match ratings were good for someone so new to the game
Yeah great ratings for someone so new. Looking forward to playing you in our friendly on Thursday, then in our SOD matches later on :)
Thanks everyone :)
Yeah CF, i dont think i will have a good chance of beating you in our friendly soon, but maybe later on in the season once i get newer and better players, i MIGHT have a chance ;)
The only thing I am struggling with now, is deciding on which players to get. Cookie says i need a better batsman. But the good batsmen outhere, along with every other good player, have bids way too high for me to handle. So i might need to sell some players. Suggestions for players i should sell? And suggestions for players, or players in positions, that i should buy?
I dont see the point of Eric Brown when you have Bert Lee.
luigi your bowling ratings are stronger than your batting ratings so just look to improve your players mate
Quote from: cookie311993 on July 13, 2011, 01:01:14 PM
luigi your bowling ratings are stronger than your batting ratings so just look to improve your players mate
So you're saying, train my bowlers and give them some time, instead of buying a new one?
And sell Eric Brown?
yeah depends really on their age luigi. I havent looked at your side besides your match ratings
Have this batter for sale currently Luigi: http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=460665
Alex has highest bid (not sure if he's going for him so gotta ask him). If he stays low, could go for him if you want a batter (wouldn't break the bank for him though).
I'll look at your team Luigi and see what you need :).
Good Game CF, you won by 231 runs in our One Dayer.
Nice to know my team could manage out 2 half centuries and a duck to your 2 centuries (including one almost 200)
Just bought three new people i think are good.

The other two are shower
2nd and 3rd arent any good IMO :(.
Lol oh well. i'll train them, just needed a range of players and got what i needed.
Now i will train them, and get more money, until i can afford one of those really good 150k+ players.
3rd guy not so good :-\.
2nd guy will be servicable in your Youths (Constant Tech training though).
1st guy looks alright although Fielding is just :'(. I don't even allow Youths to be below Poor when I buy them!
One of them was a Prodigy, and one was a Natural Leader...
Prodigy is only useful when the guy isnt shower, no matter what you do he will always be bad :(

Senior Academy - inadequate (down)
Youth Academy - inadequate (down)
bad? how to help or fix or change it??
Need to invest into your academies until it says improving. Put an extra $500-1000 in to allow for weekly fluctuations in average spending into them (over FTP).
But don't invest if you are in debt/going to be. Only invest if you can manage to stay in the green.
woops... I probably shouldnt have invested 10,100 in both then...
oh well :)
all a learning experience..
Wouldn't put a random amount in. Try to keep it on improving or + or even ++ (if you can afford it). I suggest investing into seniors for the short term until you feel you can put into your Youths without running a loss.
I started with Youths the same time as Seniors but it meant my Seniors fell a bit behind the rest of FF despite the majority starting after me. It was a sacrifice but allows you to take interest in your youth team and hopefully tune out a few Seniors (2 already with about 2-3 who just couldn't fit into tmy team after being bought at a young age). It's fun watching them grow but does eat alot of cash academy wise.
So concentrate on Seniors. Got it :)
But keep Youths alive, got it ;)
My youths are as skilled at cricket as sheldon is at detecting sarcasm ;D
Luigi, invest a bit in youths if you want, but I never did and it helped me compete quickly as I slowly turned my team into a group of pensioners ;D
Youths have been proving to not make money but add another dimension to the game.

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

Good win Luigi. But do you always use 9 bowlers? Or was it an experiment. Coz 9 bowlers to too many. Try and limit it to 5 at best and 7 at max.

I think thats because a lot of my youths are dont really have a specialty in bowling or batting.
so i split all of those type of people into bowlers, batters and allrounders. then train them in that thing.
-Also its suggested line-up ;D
Sorry, i didn't realise it was a youth league match, thought it was a friendly today. That's cool then, make sure you limit it down eventually though.

Limit your player roles. Like my coach and all coaches probably say, Make the batter's bat and the bowler's bowl.
