Ok bought a few players dependent on not being overbid

 

[hedger_14]

They're good pickups to start off with. I think the biggest mistake I ever made was buying a 33 year old reasonable batsman with great keeping thinking he was awesome as one of my first signings for 100K. He was a great player though with lots of experience.

 

[Chewie]

They're all 20 years old, and wages are from 1.5k-3k I think

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Chewie - Look up Zorax CC.

Bid on the 2 guys I have for sale. Both quite good and would make my XI, but since I'm shifting to minnows-only, I can't keep them.

 

[hedger_14]

I had a look at your players and none were good enough to make my squad or a spot as a reserve who comes in occassionly.

 

[aussie1st]

Massive yard sale up at the Baggy Blues so if you want some expert/outstanding players then go to my club.

 

[Chewie]

One of my new players is called Ravi Jadeja lol. Hope he's not too fail

 

[hedger_14]

Chewie. Here are a few accomplished players. An accomplished batsman, an accomplished spin bowler and an accomplished pace bowler with a bit of batting. You should be able to get them for a few k at most. If I sell them for 1k, I don't make anything but thought I should help you out.

Thanks

How'd you get a player called LeBron James? lol

 

[hedger_14]

I know lol. I bought him cause of the name... and that he has spectacular bowling. Still Kobe is way better.

hedger_14 added 3 Minutes and 42 Seconds later...

Well that is 3 players I have gotten rid of. I hate firing players. It feels cruel. I only fire players out of the youth academy and the youth team when ████ players join the senior squad.

I develop close bonds with players like I did with Priyanka and it's said to see him leave but at least he'll be playing regular cricket I hope with your team.

 

[hedger_14]

Running for Bermuda managerial post. So vote for hedger1 when going over to the voting booths soon. I might even be nice enough to give you the spot as an assistant manager if you vote for me. Remember that you have to have played for at least 50 days though to vote.

 

[Chewie]

I just found you can rename players for 20 credits. Explains LeBron James

My whole team is basically players I've traded. I won't have enough income to cover their wages soon. Hopefully I earn enough through gate takings.

 

[hedger_14]

I have 1.3M atm and I don't really have enough to make profits each week with over 100,000 in wages and spending around 24,000 on Youth Academies. Currently, my expenses are:

Ground Maintainence: 10,000
Player Wages: 129,000
Academies: 24,000
Total: 163,000

While I only get $85,725 a week from sponsorship and my ground has just been expanded to 10,000 seats which should get me a bit more income as I was packing out the stands in most of my matches other than youth. I'm probably going to try and lose a bit of money each week and make up for it in the $300,000 or so amount of prize money at the end of the season. I think I might try and sell one of my big players. Have a look at my squad, Hedger's Team. All senior player skills are revealed. Not looking to sell my youths though as I only have 15. Most of my players are around Outstanding in their primaries but I have 2 spectacular bowlers and 1 spectacular batsman.

So if anyone wants to buy anyone off me, tell me the player and the price you are looking to pay.
