Thought I'd post this again, as I'm pondering my squad and wondering what I can do to improve it. I'm happy enough with my 1st team, but I don't have any strength in depth, all advice gratefully received.

At the moment Evelyn is on 1 batting net, Schoeman is on 1 batting and 1 bowling, Nagendranath is on 1 batting, Middleton is on 1 stamina, and Lea is on 1 batting, bowling and fielding.

I'm also training these guys on 1 bowling net each

Brucie is due to pop in both Batting and Conc in the next couple of weeks. How much would he go for 10m+ ??

How far is Nagandraneth from strong? All looks well as long as he's close to strong, if he's not I'd sell at next pop and get a new trainee. Difficult to judge as not sure what direction you want your team to go in.

Saj went for £8.9m at remarkable bowling, quality batting. With the secondaries you should expect plenty more than that, even if the bowling primary is short.
 
Those figures were from a couple of weeks ago, Nagga popped to Strong this week.

Don't really know what I want from my team, I never really know whether to sell, as I'm always worried that I'll not be able to improve my side. I'm a bit happier now as I've got a 17yo and 18yo bowling trainees, maybe sell Johnstone when he pops in 5 weeks ??

If Schoeman was to go for 10m for example, what could I get to replace him ??
 
I only sold Saj as I had a specific target replacement who I was lucky enough to get, don't get sucked in by the need to update your team as it's 'something to do', what you've got irs probably more than enough. Once you're in III then that will be the time to have an overhaul.
 
BB - how much money have you got in the bank, and how much profit do you make a fortnight?

I'd be tempted to sell an all-rounder - 3 seems a little excessive - if with the money you get in, you could upgrade/match their bowling and get a new batsman in. Selling Lea would certainly free up some nets.

I think you could do with some more batting to ease the workload and help the fitness of your bowling all-rounders, maybe say a 21yo quality batsman who you could give a batting net and take him up to exceptional.

If you could get players around a quality-quality batsman and a remarkable-remarkable bowler, both still young enough to continue training, I think that would definitely be worth selling Lea for.

Unfortunately I've got virtually no money in the bank so haven't had any need to monitor transfer prices.
 
Down to about 650k after buying Fisher, although I've got a home game tomorrow, so should be near to 850k by the week-end.

I've advertised Schoeman for 11m+, (with his expected pops) so I'll see what comes of that.

It's really the batting that has been bothering me, as we do seem to rely on Evelyn, and he can't do it all every game.
 
You could certainly do with another specialist bat, possibly 2.

How much do you think Tyke would sell for?

2 - 2.5m min
 
2 - 2.5m min

Very tempting. He won't be good enough to chuck into my first team until at least mid-way through next season, even against weaker opposition.

Any thoughts as whether best to list now with deadline on Sunday but so someone can still use Monday's net, or wait a day or two?

Forgot to say I went ahead and listed him. Deadline Sunday.

Current bid £510,000.
 
If anyone is about, from about half 9, LOreal-Zat!, have listed 6 very useful players and if you have about 10 million in the bank, you may be able to get yourself a decent purchase ( be it batter or bowler! - no allrounders though! )

I'm after this fella. Have put Cronin (20 year old remarkable/strong) on the touting asking for bids of 6m, is that fair? And how much will Webb go for? Thanks.
