My youth team hasn't lost a game this season, had 90k ratings in the game today... too bad my senior teams have been shite.

we are both in a similar position. my youth team has been clocking up 90+, although I did drop one game to the top side who rates about the same. hoping to get into the top 5 ranked youth teams in SL next season...

 

[alfy!]

SOD and T20 are going to promote to division 4 in Australia, so that is great. Currently coming 2nd in Youth though, one game behind and with poor percentage, so that is disappointing that I will not promote in that.

Currently looking at brewing my next seasons youth team with some transfers, and it is all looking good. Some very nice 16 year olds coming through, coupled with some youth first XI 17 and 18 year olds.

How is everyone else looking?

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

I hadn't signed in since the 9th of September.

Newman is apparently the 3rd best batsman in Australia atm though...so thats cool beans.

 

[alfy!]

Very impressive .

 

[blackhead&boil]

well, I promoted in youth and T20, and I also managed to finish 4th in my SOD league, which is ok considering the competition.

in the last round my seniors rated 118k with an average age of 22. my youths rated 93k with only 3 19 year olds to move on next season. I already know who is in my youth league, and at the moment I am the highest ranked side. if things go my way I could end up in div I next season.

planning to hang on to my prizemoney, sell off a few spare players and get my academies up a bit. don't really see myself buying any new players unless a good seam AR or opening bat turn up. even then, I'm doing ok in those areas with an 18 year old seamer with ave batting who is one of the best aussie mediums of his age, and an opening bat who currently tops my run scoring tables in both SOD and T20...

I have got 880K so i am looking to blow it on an outstanding batsmen and an out outstanding bowler.

 

[Marklar_33]

Promoted to Div 2 Youth in Sri Lanka... SOD finished mid-table 3rd div and T20 is a write-off in Div 4!

Will lose 5 Youths to the seniors but have others to come through, only action in transfers may be to sign up a ready made Youth starter or 2

 

[Absolute Gun]

How much are you guys losing at every finance update????
I lose 80K!!!

 

[alfy!]

A fair bit, but I will have to check it out once I clean out some players and get new gate receipts. Hopefully won't be more than $40k though.

You quitting the game Mick?

I start off losing about 100K. But thank god for ticket sales...

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Nah not quittin foxtrot. Just my interest is pretty low at the moment.

Just pissed off at continually losing to teams that I should beat lol.

Starting to go back to BT surprisingly.

 

[alfy!]

Ah sweet . Yeah, was a massive knock from him, against a poor side.

 

[Spikey]

Blackhead is killing my youth league. 93K ratings ffs! What chance do the rest of us have?

In the middle of the table for all my leagues. Still in the Cup & thanks to good endo, able to put out good teams for both OD's and the Cup. That won't last though.

Downside of being a Nat. Manager...so many messages!

 

[alfy!]

93k ratings in youth? Wow. I thought my 75-80k was decent.

Middle-top of my leagues. All of them are tough, but I should come top 3 in all.

Cup run should end this week I believe.

 

[Marklar_33]

Got my first national rep... Cemal Khaleel playing for UAE u19's


Youth team has a huge match this week in SL 2.2, we are 2-1 and taking on the 3-0 top of the table side. Seems a pretty even comp...first time Ive been in a league where the higher team doesnt just always win haha

 

[alfy!]

Well done. Would love to have a nat player.

Yeah, all my leagues are like that for the first time too. Pretty tough going, when like 4 or 5 teams could win it.

 

[alfy!]

Have been having some very nice senior and youth training pops over the last few weeks.

Today brought about four important accomplished endurance pops, and two experience pops. Nice.

Blackhead is killing my youth league. 93K ratings ffs! What chance do the rest of us have?

95K this week. passed 15 out of 17 fielding checks.

senior side isn't quite so healthy at the moment. rating around 115-120k with everyone rested, but playing against 125k teams. got some good skills but mostly quite low on experience. pretty young side, though. trying to play my 24/25 year old accomplished spinners as little as possible to get some experience into my seamers. they'll be replaced next season by my (currently) 19yo reliable lfs and capable rws...

 

[blackhead&boil]

my youth team has hit the #1 ranking in sri lanka, now. not for long, though. #2 is hot on my heels and will pass me soon enough.

last week I was appointed as an assistant manager of the USA. set my first orders yesterday and had a 7 wicket win over those UAE hacks...

 

[Marklar_33]

Im 15k behind you in 20th, but I think Ive stalled a bit. Still will hang on to div2 for next season, but promotion seems slightly above me

 

[Marklar_33]

95K this week. passed 15 out of 17 fielding checks.

Whats this?

 

[Absolute Gun]

Do all you guys still play??
