Would just like to see how everyone bases their line-ups and aggressiveness if possible.
Any sort of rules or guidelines you like to stick by to ensure a well rounded line-up.
I can get the line-up fine, but struggle to decide which players to put Aggressive and Defensive.
BB tells me to put your spinners as (for me) 4/5 and 9/10 and as Aggressive. (this is for me, playing with 2 spinners usually)
But should I just put me best Fast or Medium bowler on First, then my second best number 2?
Also, how much do you change your line-ups and aggressiveness based on opponents/pitch/weather/game type?
Thanks :)
I usually close with a FM on D and Roberts my Wristie on N. Aggressive just seems to give up too many runs
I usually have spells 8, 9 and 10 on D. I have an OBB so he manages to keep runs down and get wickets at the same time.
It is very important to set your orders based on what the pitch and opponents are like. For example if it is a batting pitch I will have 1 or 2 batters on A, but if it's a bowlers pitch I wont have any, especially for a crumbler/sticky
Batting Pitch: Bowlers on D/N and Batsmen on A/n
Bowling Pitch: Bowlers have 1 A spell and 1 N spell while Batsmen are D/N
I usually have Wright on Aggressive and Dareeju on Defensive. Dareeju's Accumulator talent means he's the guy I want to build the innings around and Wright just is there to murder them
I told you to put 5 9 10 on d.

I pretty much follow that rule too.
Oh yeah, you can also post here any tactics you are thinking of trying for a certain game :)

Bowlers right? And that is assuming those ones are Spinners correct?

What do you mean by that Q?
Which batters and which bowlers?
-It seems spinners on Defensive is popular?
-CF, what's OBB?
When playing on a bowler-friendly pitch, bowlers on Normal ort Aggressive, and batsman on Defensive or Normal.
Couple of things that I tend to do on any pitch and weather are:
Number 3 and Number 11 batsmen on Defensive.
Open with two seam bowlers and have them both on Aggressive.
Try to aviod finishing with 2 spinners. (As i have 3 that are it's pretty difficult)
OBB is old ball bowler talent. It means they perform better in the final stages of a match when bowling ;)
Like my opening pair to be A and D in battiing.
Then majority on Neutral. If Pitch is Crumbling/Sticky then my number 5 or 6 on Defensive aswell as my tail.
If a flat then my number 5 or 6 on Aggresive.
Bowling I like to put Lesnar on Aggresive unless its a Green.
Spells 9 and 10 are Defensive, while my first 3 spells are all Neutral.

I have an OBB and an NBB :D
i have a OBB finger spinner
Hemming is OBB.
Both my Openers have the Opening talent so in SOD I like to put them both on D regardless of the pitch. I've found it handy and usually start off well
i tend to have one of my opening pair with A and the other on N or D depending on pitch
Accumulators and BH on Defensive and Finishers on A
if its a bowlers pitch then all Aggressive orders become N for my batters
Bowlers will be Agressive and Defensive for the first 10 overs
Neutral instead of A if it is a batting pitch
Spinners will be on aggressive on spinning decks defensive otherwise

Bit harsh cookie. I know you're directing that post at me, but Luigi is asking everyone, so i can give advice if i want.
It might be bomber but it's got to mean something. I get my advice from my communities. My tactics change each game and am still learning bout tactics and I have been playing for ages.

We all change little things here and there. But some things are always things. E.g. Don't bowl your batters. Don't put all your batters on A on a bowlers pitch.

But what if those experienced players don't give good advice. Hint Hint.
My tactics change based on the pitch/weather. I never have more than 5 Agro/Def orders per match. The Neutral orders assist with wicket taking, whilst having bowlers on D reduce the chances of wicket taking. Therefore I never put my OBB on D, always neutral, so he can do his job.
I only ever use Agro orders on bowling suited wickets, and on bowlers who suit that wicket, generally in the first 5 overs.

I tend to go 5 every match. 3 and 2 of A and D depending on pitch. Have an OBB FM who always bowls at 9 or 10 with some effect. Usually pair him up with a Spinner to end the innings. To start always have a Medium and a FM (the one mentioned above) if my other isn't playing on the pitch.
not sure how it is neccessary to have a go at someone Q. What i said about advice is the truth though. The players that were posting in this thread were PB, Cic and yourself. When have i given you advice? and about me not giving good advice, do you have a something as proof?
You told me that someone with atrocious batting should bat before someone with poor batting.
um pretty sure i didnt pick your team in any order PB. In the messages i have sent about teams I am pretty sure i posted not in any order
Here is a message to sent to me.
Sent at: 10 Aug 11 02:13 From: cookie311993 To: PowerBug
this is your top squad i have worked out for you.
1.Tonge

Bowlers arent in correct batting order. This gives you an idea of your strongest lineup for seniors.
When looking at your squad, your batting lookings fairly solid for a new player with your weakest being Yardley reliable/capable. Your weakness is your keeper with Norquay being a long way behind everyone. Best advice would be find a keeper to replace him. Minimum of capable batting, tech and keeping.
Bowling looks okay cept for the 3 Finger spinners. Sometimes 2 is too much. Look for a replacement for Vadher and Ameer. I like the look of schulting, good purchase there.
What you need is a new keeper-batsman, Fastie or fast-medium, and medium bowler
Schulting and Vadher are who i mean.[\b]

So do I not give good advice? Just curious.
how are we meant to know if its good or not when you only play majority of bots in your leagues? and are yet to win a match in the FF u/24 league. Baz still has to overturn your match result. and i didnt say you dont give good advice, but luigi nearly outrates all 3 sides that were giving him advice. For me i never use an aggressive batting tactic. Mediums and FS are normally defensive or normal

I disagree.
We all have different ways of playing the game. Shaggy buys pensioners, I've gone down the academy route, Q was one of the originator's in going with a young team and is slowly building up his team.
Q's been playing the game longer than me as well... Playing bot's has nothing to do with how well you give advice. He's only in that position because he moved to the WI, otherwise he wouldn't be.
Would you listen to his advice then?
but to do that he needs better academies. I will be honest, No i wouldnt listen to his advice.
Keep dodging me Cookie, keeeeeep dodging me...
Cookie, both my academies are on Improving++, plus I have 100k in the bank. I could sell of my players and buy oldies as well, I could also rate 160k but I find no fun in that.
Cookie, I'll be honest as well - I for one, would not listen to your advice, and I don't think I'm alone, IMHO.

Maybe, but he hasn't had the luck of a big YP yet. We all have our ways Cookie, and I'll be honest, I'll listen to anyone's advice as long as I can see a point to it, whether they play the game differently to me or not.
I won't make statements like what you made.
how am i dodging you Q, answer that one. I have replied to your posts. I have both my academies on improving++ and 100k in the bank as well Q, its not that hard. Majority of my side are 26 or under. And really i dont care if you dont take my advice
Cookie, Q - settle down. We all have our ways of playing the game. Let Luigi decide who's advice he wants to take up.
I understand where you are coming from fletch, but i feel tactics are different when you rate 160k vs 160k then when they are when its 130k vs 130k

rating 160k alot of managers take everything into account and i have seen some teams scout out their opposition alot more in a league where everyone rates 160k fighting for the 1 promotion spot

Disagree there.
And does the fact that Q rates lower than you mean that his advice is not worthy because you think tactics is only relevant when you have higher ratings. I have lower ratings than I did last year, but my tactics are IMO
more important as a result
generally teams rating 200k have very good tactics. Which is why in the PC you see a number of upsets when teams are closer to ratings. You would very rarely if at all see 2 130k teams play in the PC
Cookie, read your last post again.
130k teams never face off in the PC because of seeding, 205k teams will beat 130k teams 99.999% of the time ::)
PC runs on rankings, so it's not a great example... So your last statement is kinda incorrect...

Woah :o :o :o
i value your advice fletch because of what you did in the Knockout comp and the way you answered the stuff about Burton in the bermuda thread. Your tactics in the knockout league were far better than your ratings and you spoke with alot of knowledge and understanding about the game and your nat side. I feel you need to prove you know what you are on about to be valued.
eg. the Canada u/19s when i was assistant. The manager and nips didnt value my opinion although at the WC, election time and after election, i had alot of managers outside FF but also in FF tell me i showed real maturity and knowledge of the game and great understanding . You have to prove you have the knowledge and understanding before people listen to you
When I was in the Knockout comp Cookie I was rating almost 170k, now I rate 156k. Just because I had a couple of upsets doesn't mean that I'm any better than anyone else. I only answered you re Burton, because I am the NAT side ATM. My fellow companions have deserted me... I'm running this tour by myself.
I'm sure Q has had upsets too... You may not have seen them though?
and i also respect is part of it to, if i get shown respect i will respect people in return. in regards to the tactics though i wasnt aiming it at Q. yeah he was included but wasnt the reason i posted. It was Pb and cic mainly. PB because he said RP had a bad side then lost to him and in the nat squad is knowledge of players was poor. Cic then rested players in a friendly match in the under 24 comp
my tactics are fairly simple most of the time
i have 2 mediums on D for both spells except when it's a green deck then anderson goes to D and Saitoti back to N....i don't tinker a whole lot with the batting because wel i got the lineup tot he point where i'm happy they can back each other up
but in saying that when it is like a crumbling i usually have walsh on D as one opener to stay there to see off some hard early attacks and once his eye is in then it's ok
also do play with others on D but not that often only if it's a real bowlers wicket
anyways

for once me and Q will agree it was a discussion BB, we actually kept it relatively under control with no swearing as well which is a plus

There is a guy on this site called doogie, so I thought you meant him :-[
sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ...
I listen to advice from everyone.
Take consideration from everyone.
Closely examine the advice from those I trust and know and have been around for a while (hence i know them).
I rate 126k. Am getting better, but i need to learn to use my money better.
I am having trouble setting tactics that will get me further to winning me a match.
Whether you are versing Bots or not, the match ratings show how good you are.
TBH, idk how much you guys rate anyway.
So back on topic................. :)

to me luigi should be taking advice from yourself fletch, Hp or shaggy. Not managers he almost outrates
I disagree.
We all have different ways of playing the game. Shaggy buys pensioners, I've gone down the academy route, Q was one of the originator's in going with a young team and is slowly building up his team.
Q's been playing the game longer than me as well... Playing bot's has nothing to do with how well you give advice. He's only in that position because he moved to the WI, otherwise he wouldn't be. Would you listen to his advice then?
I agree. Some people have taken different routes and it's hard to say I'm worthy of giving advice considering I think half of FF outrate me ;). My team has only rated a max of 172k EVER. It's the quality of the advice, not the person it comes from. Much like giving out advice in Fantasy games. A guy/girl can be ranked 50k but still hand out great advice to a team ranked 5k as they may have taken a different strategy or chosen a few different players for the way they want to play and enjoy their game.

rating 160k alot of managers take everything into account and i have seen some teams scout out their opposition alot more in a league where everyone rates 160k fighting for the 1 promotion spot
Doesn't everybody do that no matter what you rate.
I did a little last season but gave up this season as I have like the slimmest of chances to survive in my leagues. If you're going for tactics, ALOT of teams who are into FTP hardcore do this.

I only answered you re Burton, because I am the NAT side ATM. My fellow companions have deserted me... I'm running this tour by myself.
Really? Running the T20 tour by yourself? :o. What happened to the rest?
Yep, it looks like I pretty much am. One guy Mick, well he's never participated in anything. Jako's disappeared.... Mewtwo has mentioned that he now has a life, so I'm left to pick up the pieces. I had to do orders in the last tour for about 2-3 games, although Mewtwo changed a couple on me.
He'll probably do the game I've setup tonight as well against England :-\
Sent the management team a message to ask where everybody is?

No, can't be bothered. Who cares about Bermuda anyway ;)
Sort of been discussed on offsite anyway.
Well amazingly Jako has just come back, and said that he has been in Spain, but he'll be resuming normal power. At least I have one colleague now :)
Good to know Fletch :D. Hopefully you guys can do well in this tour.
Great work Fletch. I'm sure the Bermuda community think you are a quality guy and if you ever have the top job I have no doubt you'll do great.
i pulled bermuda for ya fletch....but i had to shoot him :'(

Cheers guys. All good now that Jako is back. We lost by 6 wickets to the pom's tonight >:(
How many people, and which, do you put on Defensive in Twenty Twenties?

Depends on the pitches and opposition for me.
Quote from: Luigi197 on August 30, 2011, 06:02:17 PM

I normally got 1 Defensive in the middle order (in case of collapse) and maybe another on a tailender (Bowler who can bat a bit).
Usually have 1 or 2 players on Aggressive as well as it is T20 where runs need to be put on the board. 1 Opening and the other a Tailender with Power.
I usually always have my last 3 or 4 on Defensive in all games to prevent a collapse. Will have a middle order plus an opener on D for bowling pitches and maybe just an opener for batting pitches.
I will vary between 1-3 Agro orders depending on the pitch
I'm the same as fletch in the case that I have my bottom 3 batters all on defensive to prevent a collapse :)
So in TwentyT, defensives at the end and middle just incase, and some agressives, one at end and start, for added umph?
Yeah i pretty much get the idea of who to put agressive and defensive in batters.
but not too sure with bowlers, all i know is that defensive in your last few bowlers to prevent runs. (and im talking about generally, in any format of game)
I normally go aggressive with the first spell, because i have Dorenagama who in my leagues dominates. Don't go too aggressive but don't be too defensive, let them bowl.
