Squad List & Targets

[Bucks_blue]

Well I'm aiming for promotion to level III in OD and realistically I'm going to get relegated from II in FC.

With my 1st XI being:

Batting:
Excep/Mast WK = Rem
Excep/Sens
Qual/Wond Bo = Rem/Sup
Rem/Sep
Won/Qual
Qual/Prof
Sup/Comp Bo = Stron/Sup
Prof/Wond Bo = Qual/Stron
Comp/Won
Wort/wort Bo = Won/Won
Wort/wort Bo = Rem/Rem

 

[Grayson]

Excep/Except
Quality/Sup
Sens/Sens
Wond/Wond - Bowling Sens/Sens
Prof/Wond - WK Sup
Rem/Exqui - Bowling Excep/Qual
Sup/Sup
Prof/Med
Med/Strong - Bowling Qual/Excep
Wort/Wort - Bowling Sens/Sens
Abys/Wort - Bowling Wond/Wond

I aim for top 4 in OD and to win FC.

 

[MrB]

Try to ignore the batting!! This includes anticipated pops for Mario and Richie:

Exquisite/Exceptional
Remarkable/Exceptional - WK Superb
Remarkable/Quality - Exceptional/Remarkable
Quality/Wonderful - Masterful/Sensational
Quality/Superb
Superb/Quality - Exceptional/Wonderful
Strong/Proficient - Exceptional/Remarkable
then 3 random reserves
Worthless/Competent - Masterful/Sensational

Suthers is about to be eclipsed as SZCC's best bowler for the first time since he joined back in Season 5!

However, Cook (6th down) is on his way and will more than likely be replaced by a pure bowler. Got my eye on another masterful.

 

[Napster]

Aiming for top 2 spot in FC and OD Level V

strong/strong
resp/resp
rem/strong
strong/strong Bowling=strong/superb
comp/comp
comp/mediocre wk=comp
resp/feeble (batting)
strong/superb (bowl)
resp/resp (bowl)
strong/med (bowl)
superb/quality (bowl)

 

[loz]

something like...

superb/strong
prof/superb (wk prof)
superb/resp (prof/strong bowl) - training bat and bowl
strong/med
superb/superb - training bat
prof/resp - training bat
resp/resp
comp/feeb (prof/resp bowl)
superb/prof (bowl) -training bowl
superb/prof (bowl) -training bowl
rem/quality (bowl) -training bowl

targets- 3rd/4th in FC V, 1st-3rd in OD V

 

[MrB]

Oh yeah, targets. Win both leagues! If OD is looking tough, FC will be sacrificed.

Also, if I don't pull a decent batsman then I'll be training Plummer and Marriott up a level in batting so they'll never be fit enough to play all games.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Looking to promote from Level IV OD, and finish top 4 Level IV FC.

Have we improved much in a year?

Batting:
1. Masterful
2. Exceptional
3. Exceptional
4. Wonderful*
5. Remarkable*
6. Remarkable
7. Quality
8. Strong*

Bowling:
1. Masterful
2. Masterful
3. Sensational
4. Sensational
5. Wonderful
6. Superb* (in two weeks)

Bowling is only one level better and we no longer bat to 10 (though it will be 9 when Graham replaces Ryan as bowler 5, next season). Batting has improved a lot, still only one star but a lot more depth. Sini will get to Masterful, maybe even miraculous so will have another back up in case Richie has a failure. With whatever money I get for Ryan when I sell him I will get myself a new bat so Mario and Plums can drop down to 8 and 9 next season.

Only training 3 players at the moment which is the least I've ever had. Only three seasons ago I was training 8 players!!

 

[Napster]

Bit better:

1. Sensational/Exceptional
2. Quality/Wonderful, Bowling - Remarkable/Exceptional
3. Superb/Comp
4. Superb/Wonderful, WK - Remarkable
5. Strong/Respectable
6. Respectable/Wonderful (also superb wk)
7. Resp/Prof (also strong/superb bowling)

Bowlers

8. Remarkable/Exceptional
9. Superb/Superb
10. Respectable/Wonderful
11. Wonderful/Sensational

also netting a 21yo all-rounder, a 17yo bowler, a 17yo batter and my new prospect - 18yo Atherton, 12,000BTR, strong/comp, on 5 nets.

Need a spinning all-rounder trainee who I can plow about 4 nets on. Will probably sell Artell to raise the funds and if there's enough money, get a batting trainee.

Obvious shortfall in one bowler, due to selling Deakin to strengthen the much-improved batting line up. Bowlers 4 and 5 are in training, as is batsman 7 (my wk/bat trainee) and batsman 2.

 

[* ORM *]

Will post squad list up later in the week. No between season transfers but batting training now starting to come on nicely. Still have 2 bowlers being trained, one finishes next pop but my bowling should blow all this seasons opps away. Very simple targets. Promotion in FC 8 with my toughest game today but still expecting a comfortable win. Promotion in OD V. I only lost 2 last year to a team now replaced by a bot. Toughest test will be next week.

Off season is 1 week too long !

 

[SUFC_Al]

1. Strong/Superb (with miraculous experience, don't know how much of a skill boost that is)
2. Superb/Strong
3. Remarkable/Wonderful
4. Qual/Remarkable (quality WK)
5. Prof/Resp
6. Strong/Med
7. Strong/Resp bat - Qual/Remarkable bowl
8. Prof/Resp
9. Superb/Strong
10. Strong/Strong
11. Superb/Superb

17yo Resp/Comp bowl being trained plus 17yo comp/resp bat; no's 3, 4, 7 and 11 still on nets.

Side shaping up okay, like to sort out no's 5 and 6 and get the bowling better.

I can safely say I'll be in the same divisions next year!
