The BT 20/20 Thread (Sat, Mon, Tues)

[Yorkshire Blue]

Oh well, looks like I'm out.

Some very poor performances from some of my better players, but ultimately I'd have won if I'd have played my first team and a PIN. Instead I tried to manage fitness because if I had a cup run, I wanted it to be a deep one.

I'll instead rest up/increase training and prepare for next season.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

To be fair, you're quite unlucky to come up against him at the group stage.

 

[The General]

Everyone at sublime so will be looking to go as far as possible. Not playing tomorrow would be a bonus so it would leave Thurs, Fri, Sat and then a days' break!

top of the league and we're having a laugh :)

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Next round has been drawn apparently. Looks like both myself and Mrs BB have got a bye.

 

[loz]

let's hope so, I've not got a fixture showing either which would be very good news. At this stage, obviously the plum draw would be one of the larger SZ teams away :rolleyes:

 

[MrB]

Toddy, I've listed Mushy for £4m, if you can bid for him with your Plummer money, I will start bidding on Plummer. I'm not sure if I'll get him but if you get Mushy for £4m you'll be doing well!

 

[Grayson]

Won by 30 or so runs, got a bye.

Extremely annoyed by transfer market, I'm selling two trainees to get Jimmy Hook but I can't afford him yet. Doing my head in :(

 

[The General]

B ... i'll bid on Mushie for u, if u wish!

 

[MrB]

Go for it.

 

[The General]

What i mean is, do you need the money freed up urgently!?

 

[MrB]

Yes please. I'd be very surprised if he only sold for £4m!

 

[* ORM *]

Have I missed something here ? Can you use money bid before a player actually sells ? Am I being stupid ?

 

[* ORM *]

For the record I re-reset my team for both the remaining games just coz it saved me being bored at work and I figured I'll have plenty of time to recover PFLs - won both comfortably to finish 2nd fwiw

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Draw's been made for the 1,024 of us still left in.

I'm away at a level V, should be able to TIE and win.

Mrs BB also away at a level V, again TIE and win.

 

[The General]

I have a newly promoted Level 5 team ( to Level 4 ) but very much winnable!

Yes, as the player bidding must have the money to be able to bid, the money is considered usable as you'll have the dough in your account within 3 days.

I drew a IV team with only one player above 20,000 BTR. Happy days.

 

[loz]

looks like the end of the road for me, got a team who won their V this year and have very well-managed PFL.

 

[MrB]

BTW, if anyone goes out and wants to play a BT20 friendly, I'm currently trying to do a rescue job on Ldnfatso's team which is in dire economic trouble so could do with some friendlies away at teams who are likely to generate a few thousand in income. If you make the challenge then you play at home so if you can, send him a challenge and try to help him stave off bankruptcy!

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

YB's probably the man at the moment.
