I won by 10 wickets, going back to Div 1 T20 next season
Quote from: Hellopplz on December 16, 2014, 10:36:09 PMZahra wasn't actually good enough Granted he went from 4th to 2nd for wickets taken in T20 this season, but one more and he'd have made it to the top on averages!
Zahra has a huge game :o :o :o. And bad luck Alex, lets hope get the promotion in OD to make up for it :P.
Quote from: Honey Badger on December 18, 2014, 09:58:16 AMCompared to your side his is poorly thought out. He has thousands of mediums and wicket keepers and not many players with suitable talents. Plus he has a complete lack of strike bowlers
So my last ever youth match (league) with my squad of big cats was a resounding success. Won by 268 runs after scoring 6 for 365 on an uneven deck, Tiger top scoring with 164. Then bowled them out 30.5 overs for 97, Puma best figures of 4 for 16.

Quote from: Hellopplz on December 18, 2014, 05:59:53 PMYeah it's great with my batters, if Tiger doesn't play well then Cheetah steps up and vice versa. Does help that they are both 3 quarters of the way to spec/spec haha!
Smashed him HB :o. The bowlers he had certainly helped, good thing you took away the strike bowlers initially from him ;).

Quote from: KoopKicka on December 22, 2014, 04:10:53 AMMate he is not a number 7! If he is 7 then your batting lineup is incredibly weak. He's an 8 at best and even that is stretching it a little. You need to get a proper AR in your squad to bat 7.
Troopa graduates from my Youth Academy with 57 wickets @ 17 and 1025 runs @ 46.5. Hopefully he can have a good world cup to cap off a great Youth career before I start grooming him into my permanent #7. Not bad for someone who was pulled 5 weeks into the season at 17! Certainly my best ever pull.
Quote from: PowerBug on December 22, 2014, 09:59:51 AMThat's still better than average ;)
Both my sides often only play with a reasonable bat at 7.... :-\
Quote from: Honey Badger on December 22, 2014, 10:29:43 AMYeah but I'm in Div 1 and doing that, Koop is Div 4 :P Turns out I only did it in OD 4 times last season, it's been more in previous seasons though, I've been lacking a good AR for a while now.Quote from: PowerBug on December 22, 2014, 09:59:51 AMThat's still better than average ;)
Both my sides often only play with a reasonable bat at 7.... :-\
Can understand wanting to play with 5 pure bowlers in a T20 since you shouldn't have to rely on a number 7 then, but in a OD surely you need a proper AR. My number 8 has got accomplished batting!

Think we can safely say though is the fact that you were playing two exceptional rated bowlers was the only reason you won. Together they combined for 5 of your 8 wickets and 59 runs! If you're going the young team route, why do you have those 2 in the team?

Any suggestions?

Nah had it as uneven last week because I had a bunch of younger guys playing against a weaker SOD opponent and I wanted the batsmen to have an easier time of it.
I have customarily played on a sticky for the last 5-6 seasons.

If you win against BP in a couple of weeks time you'll be in a great position with (probably) a 2 game lead on top. I think it'll end up being you or BP (or me if I get my sh*t together) that will win SOD.
You should still easily get PM in T20 as well, finish top 3 or so, hopefully nobody can knock me off my perch though. :P
Quote from: AFEV on January 29, 2015, 08:23:54 PMWow that is unlucky haha, given having him 2 wickets down already on a Hard within 8 overs is a pretty good consolation ;).
7.6.Tremor Control to Salim : [dropped]
7.1.Tremor Control to Choto : [dropped]
End of over 8 (1 run) - DazBurg's Greatness(24-2) RR 3.00
Why train fielding right. Daz should get some consolidation now before wickets later on. Hard/sunny.

My promotion chances are in direct competition to what the Dutch manager does with Bruin, if he keeps touring I don't think Steven Huizenga is strong enough to hold the line
Quote from: Shaggy on February 01, 2015, 08:02:10 PMHard and Flat are the same when combined with Sunny weather. Hard/Humid or Hard/Overcast and suddenly we can see much lower scores defended.

Quote from: AFEV on February 03, 2015, 12:47:55 AMSo does everything else really. from what i know.
Form used to be part random part how many games a player played (ie you could 'play them into form').
As far as I know, the games played element was removed and now it is total RNG. Could be wrong.
All I know is it farks me every season.

you should be able to work out how much sponsorship you get etc and how much it costs for those reasonable and roughly see how much profit you'll make......if worse comes to worse might need to drop one right down and run 1 while gaining money back....

Good advice Colli, agree with what you said. For beginners or those starting over with limited budget, the level of players will certainly be different/lower than most others on here. With a new look squad of 20 y.o's next season (If say Rel/Rel to Acc/Acc), should be rating between 130-140k, which is perfectly fine for Division 4 Nrich as they are still young guys. Been helping Cicjose completely rebuild his side around some great youths he raised, so it certainly is slow progress at first, but it also helps you be able to maintain budget and improve squad slowly once you get the younger guys in to save wages.

Division 2 isn't that bad Torpy, can make a decent living there until have the squad to push for Div 1.
My tactics really are bad, close to demoting in T20 and SOD. Must win games this week, but SOD seems more likely to stay up after my win on a slow! If I can get past Cyrus my spot in Div 1 SOD stays alive :D. But I'll probably try for some help with tactics from you guys during the off-season, as half my starting XI will be over 30.

Look at the transfer market, all players under 21. Don't spend over 10k. You can find a best 11 of 20yos in two weeks because there's always bulk at EOS for less than 50k. It'll probably promote you up to Div 4 too.
Quote from: PowerBug on March 24, 2015, 10:18:31 PMDude, I'll promote next season for sure. I've got the players. :P
Torp has it kinda right. Buy no more than 3 players between 24 and 27, and around but not over a 10k wage. That way you will get some better results quickly.
In addition, look here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,99658.0.html).

Quote from: Nige on March 25, 2015, 08:50:07 PMJust don't spend more than 20k on any one guy to begin with would be my big advice. You can gradually substitute in guys that are more and more valuable, but you're better off having a spread of 11 guys that are reli/reli than 4 guys that are outs/outs and then absolute trash.
Slightly trigger happy on the bid button. Barely got any cash left because I've currently got bids on way too many players. :-X
I mean, I probably won't get most of them, but still. You'd think I'd have learned from my first two experiences.
I think I may have paid overs for my three buys atm but I'm not sure.
Quote from: AFEV on March 26, 2015, 06:18:04 PMYeah, I realised my mistake instantly and I'm already regretting it. Also misread one guy as being at a 1k starting price when he was 10k, so I flowered up pretty bad there and he's not remotely worth 10k, so I won't be getting outbid on him either.Quote from: Nige on March 25, 2015, 08:50:07 PMJust don't spend more than 20k on any one guy to begin with would be my big advice.

Quote from: JBs-Hawks on March 29, 2015, 10:32:52 AMWell, I misread his price as 1k when it was actually 10k. Thinking it was 1k, I bid on him. He wasn't terrible for 1k, but definitely wasn't worth 10k. Because I bid on him while I was trigger happy, having that 10k bid on cost me a chance at a few guys who were considerably better. So yeah, I was hoping that I didn't get a guy that definitely wasn't worth what I was paying for. In the end, somebody got him for 11k.

I had the exact same thought about 20 minutes ago when staring at a bunch of my youths in my affiliate, have upgraded my SA and bidded on a few 22yo batsmen. Now I'm considering moving to NZ with my affiliate, will probably just hold in Scotland.

I think I will sell off most of my high value players (Aliyy, Choudhury, Suji, Azam) and put the money away for a while so that I can balance out my academies and move up through the lower leagues before making a play with the war chest.
Ideally will end up with a sustainable home-grown/buy at 16 and raise from there system.

Clarke is shooting for 7k SOD runs for the club, Pyke going for 300 SOD wickets. If I got my act together and filled every friendly slot MPM could probably push 1000 wickets across all formats for the club.
Also sorry Torp if I could transfer the credits I have to you I would.
DO it PB. :)

So of the four FF in Div 2 NZ, My affilaite, Torp's Affiliate, Nige and Pk, only Nige and Pk are in the same YOD league. The rest all missed each other :(
Let's all put in the effort to get promoted so that we can be in the same Div 4 leagues next season!

I can see why people would pay that price. Definitely train fielding to the level you require in your team straight away.
Quote from: auscoyote on April 09, 2015, 11:22:45 AMI'd go for the extra level (outstanding) if I was you mate. The price will be warranted if you keep him throughout his career and he'll be an extremely high level player, only expert fielding will not be high enough for the level he'll reach and you'll end up losing training time by training that fielding later.Quote from: PowerBug on April 09, 2015, 09:14:43 AMCheers PB

Quote from: AFEV on April 09, 2015, 04:13:23 PM
Deluxe (IMHO) is only ever worth it if you have an entire squad of mostly young players that are all of high value (ie collective value >5 million) or if you have 1 player in particular that you have invested >1 million into that you need to ensure doesn't lose value being in a sub standard academy.
Of course you can run a deluxe academy without these factors, but only if there are surplus funds to shovel into it.

Should I still be looking to buy players? If so, are there any specs that I should be looking for?
I remember being told to always look out for players with relevant talents. I don't think any of my current team have any.
I've got like $600k, I assume I shouldn't be spending any larger than like $50k at the absolute most on players if I can?

Also found a 23yo exp/exp batter with finisher (and swing) talent(s). He's only at 3k and sells in just under 10 minds, I figured he'd be a good get.

Has been a good few days for me in FTP.
On Sunday cruised to victory, meaning I will play in round 4 for the first time ever, this afternoon got a pull that will hopefully net my main 6 figures, and tonight I have pulled off a 10k upset over the dominant team in Scotland to sit on top in T20 1.1 after 4 weeks.. :)

Guys I have some sad news :(. At the age of 33, Daniel Currie has decided to call it time on his career at Hello CC. I have decided to give him a farewell match at home in our upcoming SOD match against KISS.
Daniel Currie (http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=515313) is a club icon plus a former U19 and Senior National for New Zealand! All started with his debut for New Zealand U19s in a World Cup, also averaging 32.89 in 10 games for the Seniors (just under 300 runs).
Onto club achievements, he's my current #2 OD run scorer with 6090 runs in 193 matches with an average of just under 40! No easy task when considering for most of his senior career he's been playing Div 1/2 competition! #3 All time T20 run scorer for us at 3707 and #2 YOD scorer for us (at an insane 69.68 average across 50 matches)! His catching ability in the field is unmatched across the Seniors.
So sad to see him go, but his time has come, with his skills falling and he feels bad keeping younger bats out of the team while he's unable to perform at past high levels. His long-time friend Harrison Morgan was in tears at the announcement, and has now started contemplating when he should pull the plug on his career :'(.

Now he will step aside for the next generation, but has agreed to stay on to be a batting Coach for the Hello Youth squad.
currie such a gun :(
Quote from: Nige on May 15, 2015, 04:08:41 PMI miss playing bots that much worse than you, get those massive performances to enjoy!
Played a bot today, but still had some ridiculous performances.
William Walkley opened and made 224 off 150 not out.
Amoghardasin Chengelpet should have got a 100 but made 92 after getting out after hitting the ball twice.
Willie Du Plessis got 7 for 5 with off 2.5 with a maiden thrown in there.
Now hopefully they replicate it against actual competition. :P

My main and affiliate have now played two unbelievable Youth Friendlies in a row (Both matches on Cloudy/Slow). Both U18, first one PBCC chased down 193 with one wicket in hand the ratings were 87,994 vs 87,075. And today OtR chased down 196 with 2 wickets in hand, and the ratings were 82,722 vs 82,277. Today's match I took out the one player from each side that should play NATs thus the lower ratings. Mendis (OtR) scored 74 in the chase today, and 26 of his runs were from the BH talent!
I know no one else cares but I thought I should share that, pretty exciting stuff and both sides rate so closely! PBCC had won the last 8 Youth friendlies before now as well,
Quote from: DazBurg on July 09, 2015, 03:53:33 PMMy second side after I bought a squad of about 12 is home grown, and I moved to New Zealand so was Div 5 this season. All I have to worry about it is setting orders and training, as TM is irrelevant and scouting isn't really needed. I think once my team starts moving up the ranks it'll be a fair bit more work though, especially as I will rate them both equally and try for both of them to play well.
do you find having 2 sides a lot of extra work?

Monday I was thinking about how great I was at T20, now I sit here wondering what has happened. Been belted in three T20s in a row now (Two of them NAT matches).

Quote from: Pkbaldy on July 27, 2015, 12:27:31 PMTake it you get gate takings from it. Just play your youths and bat first to try and end the match as quickly as possible. Also (I do this but you don't have to) send a message to the manager saying you are playing your weakest players and that you are going to bat first, saves his fatigue levels as well :)
Wish they'd give us a choice if we wanted to go in the Pavillion Cup or not... Guy I have to vs first round rates 223k... So pointless

He took 30 wickets @ 16.03 as a 17yo in Div 1, and now as an 18yo he has sent an early warning to the competition to watch out!
N. Gamaarachchi (lfm): 6.4-1-13-5
His mate (also 18 now) took 17 wickets @ 20.06 last season and he chimed in with 3 today.
V. Wickramapala (rfm) 7-0-20-3
I wanna win a Div 1 title, and youths is my best chance with these two guns playing for me.

Solid win. I won't be promoting this season unless I pull off about 4 upset wins.
Quote from: Hellopplz on August 04, 2015, 06:33:22 PMMain will hopefully make Round 5 as per usual. Affiliate I am buying a few oldies to try and get as far as possible. (Also because of the tipping comp if my affiliate goes far I will do well as I tipped my affiliate)
Nice PB! Any making a serious run though or just going for gate takings?
I was throwing my match, played 2nd stringers + youths and rated like 138k. Won batting 2nd on a Sticky and being outrated by 17k. Can't complain, more cash to help me survive this season :P.
Quote from: Hellopplz on August 04, 2015, 07:54:56 PMUsually I like between 20-22, anything less and I feel like I have to start giving up matches in leagues to keep fatigue down. This season the number 20, but that includes a 20yo keeper that is not any good cap/cap/accom, but I am willing to pay his wages to keep for me in PC for this season and next too. Then two guys that will be retired/sold once the run ends. When I look solely at players that are good enough to play in league matches, I have 14. I also get lucky because my Rd 3 T20 match is against a sold up team, so I can rest up completely and roll the seconds out there. It's some compensation I guess for the 170k side I had in Rd 1 where I needed to play some of my top players.
More reason to go far then ;). I'm sure you got some cash kept aside so can buy some decent oldies to help go a few rounds in, but probably not as far as your main.
How many do you have in your main side to make the run and still compete in Leagues?
Quote from: Hellopplz on August 05, 2015, 02:04:45 AMThe back-up is just the youth keeper that promoted last season, thankfully he wasn't a complete dud. Yeah would definitely say have 20 players if you want to make it work.
Yeah found need a good 20+ to make the run work. And a decent back up keeper. I can't afford to let my #1 Keeper (who's only 21) to keep 3 games a week and not suffer fatigue issues, so Cap/Cap/Acc is certainly better than a youth keeper.
Ahh, so only boosting it on lower end. Yeah, guess won't cost a heap to get it up to 190k, Outs/Outs guys should do the job there. And since you're paying attention to pitches, should be able to make it to round 3, but beyond that good luck. May need it if you get a seed then.
Quote from: Pkbaldy on August 07, 2015, 01:19:51 PMYou see it that way, I see it as I rested the perfect amount of players :) Just kidding I was very nervous once Chandrasekera got out.

Quote from: Pkbaldy on August 15, 2015, 11:46:01 AMOh shower yeah I forgot to reply I've been so busy. These are his bowling options in order of wage: rf, rfm, rm, rfs, rf, rfm. And apart from the first guy who has a 19k wage the rest are under 10k. That should make the decision of your home pitch very clear and also makes me look really stupid for choosing a Sticky. In addition he runs a 12 man squad and has a PC match on Sunday so if you get him whilst his fatigue is still high you are a real chance (Like I was yesterday....)
And what do you think is the best pitch for me to play Otago on??

So putting 1 and 1 together my pitch is on a Sticky because I set it to a Sticky to beat Otago which was stupid so basically it's going to cost me 2 matches now because next week Pk will get me.
Quote from: Pkbaldy on August 15, 2015, 12:03:55 PMWhen you play a Friendly fatigue is ignored, and they are the best they can be. Technically anything that isn't rested is going to hinder performance, but the higher the endurance then the longer they can play at their best level. So a player might be energetic, but because of his world class endurance the "xxx is tired" won't come up for longer than someone with poor endurance.
I'm thinking of resting both Mealey and Blokhout in T20, just so I know they're fully fit to play you haha. At what fitness do they start lowering in stats??
I'm going to try beating him on Dry then...

But anyone that is passable fatigue or higher I would not be playing if I didn't need to. If I play someone on energetic then I want to be certain that he isn't going to be required for the next match so that he has time to recover.
I break my own rules a lot and this week will show that, I'm seeing whether things will still work by loosening up my fatigue standards on players. I think Mathea is going to play Sunday, Tuesday, Friday (vs you) this week so that will be fun...
Dry can work yeah, that's the pitch I wanted to play him and you on as I have 4 spinners.

The game is weird how a pitch plays the same way for both teams. The same way that you got a fast fast then I reeled you in I expect you to now bowl more dots, question is, have I put the RRR low enough so that I avoid losing multiple wickets?

Quote from: PowerBug on October 07, 2015, 03:40:08 PMIt's a good idea. But as FTP is spread throughout the countries, guess friendlies would be the way to go. Could do random draw to see who starts with it. And to make sure it's not always the same team challenging, they can only challenge like once a fortnight (just in case others don't want to play).Quote from: Cookie311993 on October 07, 2015, 02:53:04 PMAnyone would be allowed to challenge the holder of the shield.Quote from: PowerBug on October 05, 2015, 02:50:47 PMYou could use a ratings system to sort out challengers

Who thinks we should have something like this for FanFooty? Will need to alter the rules slightly as SOD matchups will barely happen. I feel like creating one for here as well.
It's more about, who starts with it, how do we make sure matches get played.
Quote from: Cookie311993 on October 10, 2015, 10:43:00 PMI don't know how UFC works, but the idea of having a full ranking system for our FTP teams makes me really keen.
Do it like the do for ufc. Champion and then top rankings. No.1 contender. Have to earn your title shot
Quote from: PowerBug on October 10, 2015, 11:33:48 PMThe aim would be to work your way up the ladder to earn the title shot. The champion challenges. Their pitch and weather. People outside the top 10 can't earn a title shot.Quote from: Cookie311993 on October 10, 2015, 10:43:00 PMI don't know how UFC works, but the idea of having a full ranking system for our FTP teams makes me really keen.

If only one team can challenge the number 1 then it might be a bit difficult, but then of course you will get many challenges between other teams so they can jump up a spot.
Quote from: DazBurg on October 11, 2015, 03:18:36 PMHaha thanks Daz, but I don't believe in rebuilds. ;)
agree i reckon it is an awesome idea
could then keep detailed history of it etc so if we continue it even if teams go through rebuilds you can see they were on top at one stage
i.e Torps would be a good chance of champ but say in 3 seasons he needs to rebuild be good to look back for him and others who may be new see he was up there etc
Quote from: Torpedo10 on October 10, 2015, 05:19:25 PMWell that's one way to be completely fair to everybody if starting from scratch.
A random draw? That's a pretty silly idea.
Quote from: Hellopplz on October 11, 2015, 06:46:04 PMThe top 10 can be arranged for matches. Outside the top 10 need to move up ranks and earn a chance at someone inside top 10. More you win the better the competitionQuote from: Torpedo10 on October 10, 2015, 05:19:25 PMWell that's one way to be completely fair to everybody if starting from scratch.
A random draw? That's a pretty silly idea.
If going to be very organised than the rankings could work, but then would have to follow friendlies between teams who want them to be counted as ranking matches. Friendlies would be easier to work (especially for pav members) considering the leagues are scattered between all of us.
Winning streaks and records like Cookie pointed out are good. Can also have a top 5 team take on a lower ranked team if they do go on a losing streak to try and get a win down, and gives the chance for a lower team to cause an upset and move up the rankings a bit faster. But would need both sides to agree to the match.
Saying that, would higher teams also have the choice of selecting pitch and conditions when they face a lower ranked team?
I'm for the ranking system, but just needs some organisation and somebody could make a spreadsheet to keep it easy to track and matches held, etc!
Quote from: PowerBug on October 11, 2015, 08:37:30 PMThey don't do mathematical , that i'm aware of. The have a panel who decides on rankings and they base the overall ratings off that. Losing to someone below you hurts your overall rating. We could work out a ratings point system to use for ours
But how do you determine whether a player goes down or up when they win/lose? There has to be a mathematical way of explaining it. Then we can use that, because it seems a very good system for us.

If I want to avoid my first ever relegation in FTP then I have to go 2/2 in T20, and hope for some other results to go my way. To go 2/2, I have to beat probably the two highest ratings sides in Sri Lanka. The first is only an EIGHT time winner of SL T20 1.1...
I will need an upset of epic proportions, bit like when I fluked this one against him:
www.fromthepavilion.org/ratings.htm?gameId=3054795
Oh, and if I do avoid relegation in T20, I will likely relegate in SOD, unless I find a way to win 2/2 there as well. Guess who I play this Friday? Yep, same team I play tomorrow :-\ If I pull it off I will thouroughly deserve it hahaha

I'm not normally one to change the names of my FTP players, but I felt like doing this one. Bayya Jansze was just a crap name, and the name I changed it to is an ex First Class cricketer in Sri Lanka (played 76 games). But the reason I chose him is because he now plays at a club which I played a season for, and now as I umpire, I get his team about once a season. The player is exactly like him except the real Madu is a left hand batsman. And he's a great bloke which obviously needs to be a requirement.

if the player has spent less than 100 days in your squad, you will receive 50 + (days/2)% of the proceeds. For example, if the player has been in your squad for 20 days you will receive 50+(20/2) = 60% of the proceeds."

I agree he isn't worth what you sold him for, but that doesn't mean he can't be sold for that much! Different value depending on the team in charge!

Need a bit of advice on Grounds Capacity. I got about 900k in the bank, and don't really plan on buying any new players next season. Should I upgrade my ground? I currently have 7000 capacity and I fill it up every game. Is it worth it to upgrade it to say 10k? or even more?

Ive been using the formula of total members x 8 then add a couple of hundred for safe measure lol.
It seems to have been on the money so far.

What the flower o.O Three triggers in one over
0.1 4 Lidgerwood to Lee : Too full from Lidgerwood. Lee simply leans into it and punches the delivery to long on with exceptional timing.
0.2 6 Lidgerwood to Lee : [Boundary Hitter] Bouncer, hooked all the way to the fence. Six runs!
0.3 4 Lidgerwood to Lee : [Boundary Hitter] That delivery from Lidgerwood was quick. It has taken the bottom edge, somehow missed the stumps and goes all the way to the boundary.
0.4 4 Lidgerwood to Lee : [misfield] Sometimes I wonder if Haysman has ever been to a fielding practice session. It's ok to bat and bowl but even the superstars have to field.
0.5 4 Lidgerwood to Lee : [Boundary Hitter] I don't think that Lidgerwood will want to put it there again. Too short, and just making it a bit too easy for Lee to score.
0.6 wd Lidgerwood to Lee : Wide of off stump. Lidgerwood grimaces in frustration.
0.6 W Lidgerwood to Lee : Quick on the leg stump, going straight on, Lee looks to play to the on side, misses the line of the ball and gets hit on the pad in line with the leg stump. A loud appeal from everybody and the umpire lifts his finger.
B. Lee lbw b. J. Lidgerwood 22 (6b 4x4 1x6) SR:366.67
End of over 1 (23 runs) - Ragnaros Firelords(23-1). 108 runs required from 49 overs. RR 23.00 RRR 2.20
N. Saldanha 0 (0b), B. Grimsditch 0 (0b), J. Lidgerwood (rfm) 1-0-23-1
I also like how it took another 38 overs to get the remaining runs ;D

two for sure, 3 if you like them.
I've bookmarked the following two matches for when people next choose to complain:

Look at the score, then look at the ratings. Also a reason to always try, coz you never know.
http://www.fromthepavilion.org/gamedetails.htm?gameId=3193439
Look at the score in the chase. 116/1 with 10 overs left, 33 runs required. It's obviously game over isn't it??

I believe for batting or bowling it's around 70% to the main skill but not certain on that one.

Math genius'.... Tell me how much I need to win by in order to finish on top of this guy so I can go to the next division.
1 Barnstaple 13 11 2 0 44 +2.4237 2835 / 405.3 2347 / 513.5

Quote from: JBs-Hawks on February 15, 2016, 11:27:28 PMBeastly. I like how Rakhman scored 75% of his team's runs with just 6 haha. Some bowling effort there from your openers :P.
Just looking abit closer at it, We took 10/1. Now thats an collapse!
Quote from: auscoyote on February 16, 2016, 08:37:28 PMI knew there was a reason I never got around to completing this. I tried to keep numbers for training, probably about 5 seasons ago, but there was just too many variables which is why I was never able to collect enough data. What you have to remember is that once a players skill reaches outstanding, training slows down.Quote from: PowerBug on February 16, 2016, 06:12:53 PM

Ok cheers mate. I thought fielding would be the same with maybe a 70/15/15 split or 70/20/10 but going off my 16yr old putting on 410 pts a week on fielding and popping every 3 weeks this season, 70% didn't cut it.
It might be 80% instead of 85, all depending how many spares were with him when first drafted.
If i manage to keep up taking the numbers i should have it sussed by this time next season :P

I think 1 more season out of the game and then I pounce.
Quote from: Pkbaldy on February 21, 2016, 10:23:42 PMNeeds 28 more for 400. It's going to happen early next season I reckon :) I'm so low on backup bats this season it could even happen this season if I have a good PC run and he is on rest training most of the way.

Quote from: Pkbaldy on February 24, 2016, 09:27:50 AMspare ratings is the sublevels in each skill between the current level they are at and the next level
For all you super pros.... Can someone explain to me 'Spare Ratings'...?
Quote from: Pkbaldy on February 25, 2016, 08:12:57 AM
So Boulos Zatman is on 52,890 and doing that calculation he's on 50,000. So does that mean he's a couple weeks off popping?? Because I wouldn't mind his batting to pop to Spec.
Quote from: JBs-Hawks on February 25, 2016, 11:50:05 AMExactly, but for a player you just bought (like Zatman is) you don't know where those spare ratings are unless you asked the previous manager before you bought him.
Doesnt have to be between 4000 and 5000. Just depends where thr spare ratings are!
Quote from: BratPack on February 27, 2016, 04:29:23 PMdunno how much of a problem that will be my teams suffer when i do NAT management as i tend not to look in depth as usual etc
So my wages are something like 220k...... :-\. Although I'll probably bring that down to 195ish. I plan to sell Nidheesh (I don't keep 30 year olds, unless their name is Marc Bruin (He's not 30 yet, he's 29 but I'm keeping him)).
Edit: Oh flower me. Daz is in my one day league

Quote from: nrich102 on February 27, 2016, 11:45:21 PMJust to double check with you, the home page still your leagues from last season. You need to go to fixtures for the new leagues. I haven't looked at your team myself but that's just for you to look at as you may be looking at the home page still. Coz I would be surprised if there were 5 bots in Div 3 or 2.
Somehow managed to stay in div 3 in youth after getting rid of bots even though I finished 8th in the league and probably have the worst youth side in Sri Lanka :o

Remember all his players are 24 as well ;D
Got Torp this Friday, no idea how much I want to win this one. I need the win for the sake of my season, 0-2 and one of the weakest in the league, gotta find wins somewhere.

Im extremely sorry friend I had removed you from the U-19 assistant manager. I know you may hate me but everyone in this world gets second chance so do I. Please mate forgive me accepting the nat assistant offer. I have given you the rights to do almost everything that a manager does. I want your ideas and suggestion to develop the uae squad. Please understand me Im not here to destroy Uae. Im here for the development of it. So please mate dont leave me alone.
Quote from: PowerBug on March 26, 2016, 09:42:22 PMi think they should of made it if you do not have 75% of that nations youth in your youth side you cannot nominate for U19 spot
It will, but it's effect won't be seen for 3-4 more seasons.
Quote from: PowerBug on March 26, 2016, 10:36:14 PMwell i was more referring to U19's
Yeah you could even make it a soft cap like 50%? 75% is a bit much I think. I mean my main team doesn't have 75% Sri Lanka but I pull there every week.
It really sucks that it happened with you guys but it just shows why something needed to be done

FTP is going okay though, few new guys around keeping it interesting :) Unfortunately gone are the days of when we had many dominant senior sides (I can think of when Q, Nails, BP, Cyrus, CF, HP all were really strong and Daz would rate less and beat them all) now it's only really Torp that pulls really big ratings (240k+ at times) as there's a few youth farms on here now.
Edit: McRooster also had a strong 200k+ side back in the day.

Well my senior team is finally pumping out big ratings aha, was at 230k+ last season but sold my keeper and sitting around the 220k mark this season. Youths are also travelling nicely at 100k+

A little disappointing but at least it'll give my bank balance an injection and I should be back here in a season.

Meanwhile the only such management troubles at PowerBugCC are the following:
1) Pick one of the following to keep through seniors

For almost the entire time I've been sold on keeping Hafiz and selling Paleel, but Paleel has a pretty good case to put forward. I like the dual talent and the XP lead (4k spares too). But Hafiz and a Finisher could be deadly! Maybe I'll hold onto both :-\
2) Picking 5 bowlers which will get me my 6th consecutive SOD win. Hot/Slow most likely, and the selection is a nightmare right now :( Hopefully the weather or pitch go elsewhere.
Quote from: Cookie311993 on May 17, 2016, 10:55:08 PMRebuilds don't happen at my clubs, I just go out trying to win every game possible! I honestly thought I was relegating this season, but I've won my last 5 in SOD and Torp fell to bits so I should survive now unless I go really bad again and he goes well.Quote from: PowerBug on May 17, 2016, 10:21:43 PMYou might need a mini rebuild as well.

If you look at my 4 wins (1 was against an almost bot so doesn't count) my best thre players by fantasy points:
Byrd 29, Lwana 30, Madu 23
Madu 23, Maloney 26, Aronstam 31
Lwana 30, Aronstam 31, Roach 31
Livera 25, Bitwott 30, Al-Attiyah 27
The younger guys are performing, and performance is what will keep me in Div 1 ;) Lwana and Bitwott will be useful for next season anyway, and then hopefully half of season 32.
Just out of interest, where do you see my holes? If you sort my squad number you can see my squad breakdown. 16 Bats, 31 fast, 41 fm, 51 meds, 61 fs, 71 ws, 81 ARs, 91 Keepers.
Quote from: Torpedo10 on May 17, 2016, 11:42:46 PMYou are in an interesting position.
My batsmen will be no issue, but I may need to buy another bowler until my 21-22yos become superstars of my squad. ;)
I won't be going down in T20 at least.
Quote from: Cookie311993 on May 18, 2016, 03:08:22 PMFair. I originally planned to play Palanivel all T20 this season, he's played 7 of 11 and should play 2 of the final 3. the BH talent can hopefully let me hide him down the order on batting pitches or opening for the low scoring pitches as he's Aronstams replacement.Quote from: PowerBug on May 17, 2016, 11:04:31 PM

- Top 5 batters are currently ( 31,29,28,25,25) Other batters in squad are 22 and 21. I reckon you need a bat or 2 aged between 24-26. For Livera and Hankey
- Fast bowlers should be fine. Age isn't too big of a gap
- FM"s, Gama and Wick are gonna be beasts, bit young atm though. Once Roach goes, lacking in the FM area, especially if Al-Attiyah tours
- Finger spinners fine
- Wrist spinner. Only 1 and he's young
- Keepers and All-rounders should be fine

Keep in mind Fastmann and Withrange will still bat if not selected. The other 3 guys I have bowling at the moment are and RFS, RFS and LWS.
If I choose both Withrange and Fastmann it means I can add an outs/outs batsman to the lineup and probably set a more aggressive batting lineup and try bat first?
Quote from: WhatMate on June 08, 2016, 10:57:15 PMFastmann and Hankey would be my picks. Seeing as you have 3 spinners picking a medium without power isn't really beneficial. Also wouldn't roll with 2 rfms and Fastmann has to be selected, so that leaves Hankey.

Quote from: valkorum on June 14, 2016, 01:18:40 PMI'm sure there's a reason why the first line is the correct way to do things, but primary training also trains the quickest at 16 ;)
All fielding training should be done at 16 as it trains the fastest then.
If you want the player for your senior squad, then train to whatever your min is (at least reliable IMO), if you are just training for youth/youth nat, then just train to reasonable/capable (whatever the country min is set to).

Quote from: valkorum on June 14, 2016, 05:56:25 PMWell, not two full levels, I know that much, but 3 weeks of training which may turn that ord/ord into avg/avg.Quote from: PowerBug on June 14, 2016, 05:12:33 PMQuote from: valkorum on June 14, 2016, 01:18:40 PMI'm sure there's a reason why the first line is the correct way to do things, but primary training also trains the quickest at 16 ;)

To get a pop in fielding is only 3 weeks at 16yo - 3 weeks to go from reasonable to capable will not stop your player from being avg/avg (if he started at ord/ord).
If I stopped at Reasonable fielding (instead of Reliable), I would only have an extra 6 weeks of training primaries - at best, 1 extra pop.
If I stopped at Capable fielding I would only have an extra 3 weeks of training primaries - which wouldn't account for 2 pops in primaries (as you are saying)
The difference in ME (match engine) for an ord/ord primary player vs an avg/avg player is negligible, where as the difference in fielding is more significant at that level.
TLDR: Trust me, I have spoken in depth with GM-deltronzero about this. If you are training a youth who will someday be in your senior side, train his fielding to your senior minimum requirements first before anything else.
Quote from: valkorum on June 14, 2016, 06:10:26 PMInteresting. Does this mean all the players in his youth squad not revealed are the ones with outstanding fielding? :P Because all the revealed players have capable fielding. Next seasons 16yos I will take to reliable straight away and go from there.
Last conversation I had with DZ he was training fielding to outstanding before switching to primaries. I train to reliable
Quote from: valkorum on June 14, 2016, 06:10:26 PMI may do that if I can find a good player to tinker with. Won't be a great player but a guy I think has Senior potential, and see how he turns out next season onwards. It's an interesting theory and I don't think I've ever gone past Capable for a 16 y.o, yet alone to Outs when he's 16 (probably would turn 17 before he gets there for me).

Guess I'll try it if I get a relevant gifted Tech or Bat/Bowl to go with a decent start for fielding. Train the player up for Seniors and see how close he is. If he can get to Rel/Rel (and a bit) with Outs fielding by the time he's 20 reckon he's about on par with other seniors I've had when they're 21/22.Quote from: Hellopplz on June 17, 2016, 12:42:25 AMTo get to outstanding fielding, you will have to train fielding while they are 17 as well.

Opening bid is by a youth farm. He won't get anywhere near the money back for him when he sells at 20
Wicket keeping wrist spinning all rounder
Hardest thing would be deciding what to do with him. Could leave the batting alone and make him a beast of wrist spinner

Affiliate is paying $203,428 up from $176,856. I am likely to cull a 30yo (maybe two from that team at some point this season ~$11k each player) and I will also have added sponsorship as I promoted to Div 2 there.

Also it's probably not that big a gap, assuming it's at most 1.5 levels the gap right now and Keeping number will start slowing now it's past Outs.
I would stop training keeping and focus on his batting and technique. Otherwise you are paying massive wages just for his keeping ability. I would be going batting technique until expert/expert

I think it's 4 hours before games start in your particular country. So in SL, 01:30. Then there's weather, Ground, Pitch updates sometime between 3hrs-2hrs prior to match start.

Quote from: PowerBug on December 18, 2016, 09:47:50 PMI just want some 16yos that aren't mediums or finger spinners.
Is it fate that I bought this bloke (http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=1932105) just as I plan to fire Paul Aronstam (http://www.fromthepavilion.org/player.htm?playerId=833307), my 428 game and counting veteran? Same nationality and talent :o

Has an FF based team ever won a Div 1 title in OD?
I'm struggling to think of one.

Sadique Watson 296

Kevin Horton 252
Faraaaz Rasil 249 (30yo)

Rasil, Byrd and Maloney all players that I've had from 16, and as can be seen, they might get to 300, but 416 is a long way away!

Marc Bruin will be playing match 400 (Well 400 competitively if you include friendlies he's at 420 now) on Friday. If you factor in all his National games and Nat Friendly games he'll be coming up on Game 600 some time this season, But like Aronstam the end is nigh for the Black Shadow. I think this will probably be his final year

28 BH runs by the poor batsman!! :o Still a very chase-able score though.

Both rm ARs which makes things tough when only 1 medium goes on tour. Oh and his player has Boundary Hitter too :-\

Original plan was to not run at all, but so far no one credible has run for Sri Lanka. I'm also tossing up the idea of a fresh start so been eyeing off some other nations which may see me get a chance. Still a couple of days left I'll have a better idea tomorrow night as to who is running.

I still think it's ironic you were really angry about me touring Udawatta for the WC, yet you toured Livera when he was clearly not up to scratch. Not only that, he played 6/7 games while averaging under 10 and went for a golden duck in the final.
That's club team bias. :P

Livera was the 7th best bat we had (not even kidding). And the two he toured over had been trialed and failed to me.
Then the plan was Livera to play 3 get burnt out then not play any more. But because we had sewn up a finals spot pretty much after 3 games, I played him right through the first 5 so our best bats would be rested for the finals.
The Final though I just got cocky I think :P That whole game I just completely stuffed up from the selection table to the orders.

Quote from: PowerBug on February 04, 2017, 10:21:44 PMThat looks fair enough,
Here's the line-up with what I probably did for the batting:
(D) H. Cheetah
(N) U. Yapa
(D) T. Lannister
(D) S. Kumarihami
(N) H. Livera
(D) N. Udagamsuriya
(N) A. Munasinghe (c,wk)
(D) P. Nelson
(N) F. Maljinn
(N) S. Kamburugoda
(N) C. Wallace
This bit actually worked as we scored 205 on a Windy/Sticky with heaps of fatigue. But we were chasing 230...
Basically:
- Cheetah because he's a Seam Spec and was in super form.
- Lannister because his tech is high-wc (was elite)
- Kumarikami and Udagger because they are the two Left handers (And Udagger was our least fatigued bat)
- Nelson as he was our last recognised bat
- Yapa opening to try and see off as many balls as possible (6 off 10 was a pass)
Quote from: Torpedo10 on February 04, 2017, 10:24:56 PMA Dry is a weird one, because the first 10 overs is when you want to score the runs against the disadvantaged seamers, but you also don't want to lose wickets to the seamers as the spinners should no doubt do damage. So I see the pros and cons for both.
I played on a Dry yesterday against Mads and opened Huggins, my Ord Lefty Bat. Scored 16 off 25 and we made 258. We just blew if. :P

Where I went wrong was that I played Maljinn (rws) over Hankey (rf). Hankey had less fatigue and was still a strike bowler (and a better bowler than Maljinn). The bowling figures of the ws just made me fall for it and I had to play him :-\
Quote from: DazBurg on February 02, 2017, 08:50:46 PMI don't include friendlies because I play so many of them, but Aronstam is now up to 434. He's 24 runs away from leading me in all time T20 runs scored so I'm really just waiting for that to happen.

I "SHOULD" win the election so hopefully I'll be able to implement what I want to do. But I'll need help with it all for sure.
Going to be a season for me. I've sold off my better players to cut costs, so the senior squad has an average age of under 23.
Quote from: fanTCfool on February 08, 2017, 06:17:37 PMYou know you should move there anyway. :P
So what's the grand plan, all FFers move to Sri Lanka if PB wins?
Quote from: Torpedo10 on February 08, 2017, 06:24:56 PMYou should buy ftc's Youth Pull from this week (or at least convince someone with a high end academy to do so). Just pulled Scotland a gun.Quote from: fanTCfool on February 08, 2017, 06:17:37 PMYou know you should move there anyway. :P

To be honest I'm disappointed with most pure Youth farm teams, if you've done it for more than 6 seasons you're wasting your time not stepping up and playing against the majority of managers who use the senior side.
A little less at pure Senior sides too, respect goes out for all those trying to do all 3.
Quote from: Torpedo10 on February 08, 2017, 11:06:05 PMdw Torp they play in easier leagues ;) Much tougher for us with our teams one with one of the strongest Div 1s for a long time (Sri Lanka) and our other sides in a really strong nation all the way down (New Zealand) :PQuote from: JBs-Hawks on February 08, 2017, 10:58:15 PMCombined for both teams in YOD?

I dont think he will be good enough to play u19nats, but I deffs think he will be a chance to play senior nats due to his high power now it'll take most players 8-12+ weeks to catch him which during that time He can train primaries
Damn! That age :'(

Quote from: Hellopplz on March 25, 2017, 04:24:06 PMI thought my 10th wicket partnership was going to bring me home at one point aha! Bit upset with my batsman though, lots of ducks and single digit scores
This time I didn't forget orders as actually have net at home now 8). Too late to get promoted, but can go after the Prizemoney ;).
The match was soooo close Zz, your bowlers constricted me so well at times, I saw like 2-3 maiden overs in a row against some of my better bats and was so mad haha.

Quote from: Colliwobblers on April 12, 2017, 12:06:43 AMIve got a decent youth setup, so will keep him. The time in the season is the disappointing part; he wont become anything amazing
looks like a solid all rounder, or sell him.
has bowling and batting talent, I'd train him as AR, but I'd also be tempted to cash in....
Quote from: PowerBug on April 07, 2017, 01:09:57 PMbecause PB we know you good with tactics so naturally assumed you were all over that one ;)
Why did no one tell me that placing an aggro spell before drinks is a thing that should be done? >:(
It's provided a wicket (or more) every single time I've used it this season :o
H. Chandrasekara (rm) 7-0-37-1, W. Ballard 22 (48b), S. Flowers 2 (5b)
End of over 28 (2 runs) - Philly All Blacks(99-7). 130 runs required from 22 overs. RR 3.54 RRR 5.91
I finish this off and I find myself equal on points with this team, but still be last on the table :-\

I can't even process how that just happened. Scroll to the end of the first innings, then to 20 overs into my chase. Then tell me I have even a 0.1% chance of winning the game.

Quote from: Torpedo10 on July 03, 2017, 07:07:56 PMYeh that makes sense lol. I just wanted to try get the highest ratings possible. I think being able to achieve such high tail order ratings might actually work if i play on a sticky seeing as most teams seem to have a collapse no matter what, which might actually help me, due to long tails being prone to a collapse with the MEQuote from: WhatMate on July 03, 2017, 07:07:02 PMI forgot to play my second Wristy, so I'm not so sure about that.

Yeah you have to play Sticky or Crumbling with that tail. Or Uneven if they are mostly F/Fm bowlers.

There's nothing else to train him in so you may as well keep going with power. I go capable for finger spinners, accomplished for wrist spinners.

Not much has changed at all, keep looking for those types of 20yos, maybe slightly better because there's better players you can buy now for not as much, as long as they're not near the top of their age group in terms of quality.
Quote from: Maca24 on December 28, 2017, 12:43:10 PMNot sure how much you've read but ashario has barely been seen in the last 2 years, so the game is in complete limbo at the moment. Last time we really heard from him he was planning a bunch of big changes to the game (some of which have their own topics in this forum). All that we have heard since are the GMs constantly saying he still wants to run this game, just doesn't have time for it at the moment.

But he went a good 18 months without posting once in the forums, it was quite something. As such numbers have dropped dramatically (Pav Cup is now only 1024 teams not 2048) and NAT elections barely get enough nominees anymore.

Quote from: PowerBug on January 03, 2018, 01:00:21 PMAgree about the keeper.
I favour the BH Keeper as he's got the extra Endo and the better talent. Then the left arm medium, because he's a lefty and has the extra endo and power.
Are there no better keepers on the market I feel like you could find something with more Accomplished skills for cheap as well?
