Sid's Bashers Diary

[sid_19840]

Wasnt sure where to post this,just started a team as I was feeling bored,its called the Sid's Bashers.Hopefully I'll find a little more soon as to how this game works.For starter's here's my squad.The boy with the small rating of 240 odd is off the academy.

I have a question though:My next fixture shows that I have a match on the 30th.Is there any way I can play a game before that just to get the feel of it or something?

Wow, welcome Sid!
The answer to your question:
No, you can't now I'm afraid. Friendlies are on Sunday, and challenges have to be made before then obviously.
Your squad looks alright as starting squads go, I've seen both worse and better. Its a bit harsh for the league you're in, but fortunately you've inherited a decent league position.
It won't be a bad thing, getting demoted, because at least you'll be able to actually be able to play other people, but I reckon you might make it mate. Also, you're quite lucky, you have the bottom of the league as your first game. The best way to get the hang of Battrick to experiment with it and play it. You can also ask in the sledging threads. Make sure you join the Newbie board, as that will provide handy tips.

[zainawan89]

U r very lucky. I am still wondering how have u got team in div IV when there is div V.
But still ur team is not bad i would say just dont buy anyone atm get hold of this game first and then plan.

[sid_19840]

Thanks for the replies,I'll try to see what I can do.I'll also try to keep updated on my league status and transfers and so on.

[Bilal91]

Welcome to the amazing world of Battrick mate...but you got to be dedicated to do good in this game like every sado in this section

[sid_19840]

ok.I pretty much understood most of the things,but what is the BT Mutiview,any help regarding this?

[zainawan89]

Whe u see fixtures there is a small television type of icon. when u click this it will send that match to ur BT Multiview. Click as many matches u want. Then go to Multiview u will get overly updates of each match. Hope i have not confused u more.

[ste_mc_efc]

my numbero uno newbie tip


expand the empty sections of your stadium striaght away

not by that much but by about 4/500 or so, otherwise you are losing revenue

[sid_19840]

Thanks for the tip,I'll try doing this.Ive already expanded my staff and put some players on nets.

[Pak_cricketer]

My Advice, Give Kaushal Ali, One Batting net, one Fitness, and one Fielding.

[zainawan89]

I agree.
EDIT:
Fire all ur player with primary lower than mediocre. And buy some competent players without caring about there age, stamina or secondries. They would not cost u much. Buy 2 or 3 17yos to train who have atleast primary competent.
My brother did this and his team is quite good actually he have not lost a single competent match so far although he is in div VI in england.

[sid_19840]

ok,after about a month here,Ive won exactly half of my games and lost half,including frendlies and league games.I just wanted to post my team here now so that some of you pros could comment whether Im heading in the correct direction.

Just to add that Im 3rd in my Division IV.Really enjoying the games so far.

[Adarsh]

As you're a new team, there's no point in having 17 players in your squad. Especially since you said you were 80k in debt. Fire your worst 3, atleast you can save some money on the wages. Or list them on the transfer market.

[ZoraxDoom]

Yup, sell some off. Although you should fire R.Alshaun.
You've got a good, well balanced squad. Training wise, I suggest you train your 3 youngest players with 3 nets each, and then 1 stamina net for someone who needs it. If it were my squad, I would do the following:
Warren Tomlinson: 1 bat, 1 bwl, 1 stamina. When stamina hits Proficient, give him a fielding. Do this only if you wish to make him a long-time fixture in your sqaud.
K and V Ali, 2 primary and stamina, remove stamina as above.
1 Stamina net for Chirag Hamed.

[sid_19840]

Training wise Im doing more or less what you've suggested there,but instead of Vasudev Ali,Im giving Roger Harte a bowling net as he's looking as if he could be a useful player for me with bat and ball.

I'll try firing/selling a couple of players,hopefully that should assure me some financial stability.But Im very pleased with the improvement in my squad overall in a month,especially my buys.
