Got a friendly on Sunday against a much stronger team. Should I rest my players who played yesterday so they don't get tired, or just play them?

Also, with the PFL, I know it changes for each player, but does it change after each match, or is it up to the user to calculate whether the player will be tired.

IE, if a player is sublime fitness, after he plays a game will it drop, or is it up to me to figure out?

Cheers

Well friendly's only lower your PFL by I think 1/3 of what a regular OD game would.

Friendlys are used by a lot of people for fun or to experiment with there team and their line-ups so its up to you if you use your regular team or try something different.

Im pretty sure the PFl is updated at the next daily update after the match.

Batting: 	abysmal 	Concentration: 	woeful
Bowling: 	mediocre 	Consistency: 	mediocre
Fielding: 	woeful

^^Got him on 2 bowling, 1 stamina

Lucas Pollard - 17 yo, BT Rating=5,144

And

Dominic Bloomfield - 17 yo, BT Rating=4,610

Does this all seem good?

Also, I bought in a 17 year old bowler with med/med/comp, does it cost an extra to swap the training from one bowler to another?

Sundries, training looks good. The bowler is destructive and I don't prefer destructive players (just my opinion). When they are hot they are hot, but when they are cold they are cold. I feel it is a gamble. I would maybe spread those sessions to the new trainee, if he isn't destructive, and maybe get a fielding session on the wk trainee. A fielding net makes the secondaries pop quicker. so does a wk session, so if you could squeeze a fielding pop to the wk trainee his concentration will pop even quicker. His skill as a wk is not just his wk level, but a combo of wk, concentration, and fielding.

regarding your last question, nope. You can switch sessions to different players at any time for no extra cost. However, if you fire a coach you will ahve to pay his wages at the next update for redundency purposes.

Say if I've also got a batter that's

Code:

	Stamina:  	mediocre  	W/Keeping:  	worthless
Age: 17 years old 	Batting: 	mediocre 	Concentration: 	competent
BT Rating: 3,600 	Bowling: 	worthless 	Consistency: 	abysmal
Deadline: 03/01/2009 06:14 	Fielding: 	woeful

Should I chuck him on two battign nests instead of the WK(pollard) and keep pollard on a WK net, or just keep all on Pollard?

How exactly does a secondary eg.Concentration pop?

Does it just evolve or does like you said, a fielding net help it.

Secondary stats pop only if you have pshycologists but extra nets like fielding means mroe sessions with the pshycologist which means faster training becuase the phsycologists com to every net.

Training speeds - Battrick Helpfile

It's an estimate rather than set in stone. Some players may take a little longer, some may train slightly quicker (talking a week here or there).

I'd train the wk if you can, although the problem there is having to train him in so many things (batting, wk, fieldling, and stamina) since you don't really want a guy who can just play wk and not bat.
