Glad my main made it into div 1 as it rates 10k lower then my affiliate but because of bowler types it is actually a stronger side and sits 2-0 in head to heads
Title: Re: S26: Youth Competition
Post by: CrowsFan on January 15, 2015, 01:19:10 PM
So is div 2 ever getting made?

I may have forgotten to set orders.  :P :-[

As I did with my Mains OD match.

I rate 100k fill strength.

How you don't have default orders is ridiculous and lazy considering you are so active. Get off the Transfer Market looking for players you are never going to buy and focus on improving the squad you own.

In light of this vicious burn, I have prepared 2 standard responses for everyone to use whenever Torp is interested in a player...

'Torp, that player is not Scottish, pull out now or in 3 days when you decide he is not worth whatever bid he has attracted.'
'Torp, that player is Scottish, bid twice the reasonable price and justify it using the little flag that displays next to his name.'

Would save you so much time stalking players you will never buy Torpy. :)

...Also while we're whacking Torp around, 5 stars and no suitcases.. ;)

And now as a mod of this forum I should probably be warning myself for making a semi-personal attack on Torp, and not keeping the banter FTP-related :P

Nah nice one Ax, one of his stars, Malinga, will be part of the squad next season. NBB medium, *drools*
Title: Re: S26: Youth Competition
Post by: AFEV on January 26, 2015, 12:50:33 AM
None of it is malicious obvs, and yeah I would think he will have a few going on tour in the next season or so.

Much to my surprise I have gotten mail on Clarke, Dank and Ma in the past (last season or so in game), surprising given they're all so old - you'd think managers would have gotten onto it sooner. I don't actually think any of them will make it...

Back on topic though, I should probably join this next time around. My affiliate might go okay.

R. Dundas (lfs) 3-0-15-0, S. Datta 22 (27b), A. Black 33 (58b)
End of over 21 (2 runs) - New Jersey Devils(82-2). 65 runs required from 19 overs. RR 3.90 RRR 3.42

Spink's hopes are over.

Now myself, Colli and JB undefeated in the top 3.

Yeah not setting orders and having 3 spinners play on a green wrecked my chances last night. I normally beat valk too :(

When we have a Medium AR, and a WC/WC high powered 29yo Medium, Ma wasn't really high on the  list of concerns so early. Haha.

Congratz on the win Colli. You go to 3-0 to challenge JB near the top, while I am 0-3 and second last :'(. My bowlers should have done a better job defending on a sticky >:(.

If you're a Pav member, can see the team ranking list in Stats Section! Not sure who is the best these days after HB's mob promoted up this season.

Thanks HP, yeah that was a lucky game, didn't play like a sticky at all. quietly surprised you are 0-3 and more so that i am 3-0.

not going to beat JB and all his red stars next round but i'll give it a crack anyway, i am a pav member so I'll go have a look at those ratings, never bothered before because the only teams that have concerned me are the ones in my league :)

My team will be top 20 soon with only 18 and 17yos.

It'd probably be in there if I set orders. Once I got my job I pretty much hardly do FTP/FF/anything anymore lol. Just go to work, go home and watch tv and sleep

I'm a drone and my FTP has suffered.

On the upside, Cyrus and Valk are up there :D.

I wasn't given 20mil PB. I earned that money through previous training from an already strong youth squad setup. I had clearly been one of the top youth teams  for a few seasons before I started my super squad ;)
