Nice Edge, too bad a n00b team made a fair few runs against you

I've given up for the season. Will finshed 4th in my FC league and probably 5th in the OD. Would have dont a lot better (probably 2nd or 3rd in FC and 3rd in OD) if I'd kept the same team that I started the season with.

Makes it interesting for next season though.

2nd year in a row i will finish 2nd in Div V in FC

Last year I gave up on Div V in OD as it was very tough league and lost last 4 games on purpose to get demoted. This year I've played my 2nd XI every game in Div VI and am undefeated with a NRR of 60+.

You have to have a balance to be honest. You need to have a few players on long terms nets in order to form the backbone of your team, whilst also having a number to be used to generate income.

Generally, what I would do in the season is find 4 good trainees (min of feeble stamina and comp primary) and train them up on 2x primary nets each with a rotating stamina net.

After the end of the season, keep 3, sell 1 and bring in a fresh 17 year old. Again, rotate the stamina nets.

By this time you'll have 3x 19 year olds with passable primaries and an 18 year old on the way.

Sell 1 of the 19 year olds and place the other 2 on 1 x primary with 1 x fielding roating between them. Keep the 18 year on 2 primary nets and then you have 5 nets again to bring in 2 fresh 17 year olds.

Bring in another 17 year old, 2 nets for primary again and maybe also bring in another 17 year on one net to sell. Again rotate stamina nets.

Keep training key players until 22/23. By the time the first set reach that age you should start to have a good team forming, money in the bank and plenty of options.

Of course you can vary this (somewhere someone has actually created some better plans than I have) but that is the general gist of a training plan. You train a few, keep some for your team in order to improve and sell others for revenue.

Cheers for that!

It's all very confusing isn't it?

It can be, there are better examples than that out there though.

The main theme is just you should have a conveyor belt of trainees, some are kept, some are sold etc.
