    ok, so I have a player who is 19 years old right now and will be 20 when the next birthdays roll around. I am not sure how many nets I want to give him in the coming season because he will be 20 and the time between pops will be even longer, however I really do want to see him reach elite in one category. here is his info:

    Trevor Rose (327402)
    RH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, invigorated
    A cautious player with superb leadership skills and woeful experience.

    Plays For: Wicketkeepers
    Nationality: West Indies
    Age: 19 Years Old
    Battrick Rating: 92,398 (+3719)
    Wages: £6,756 p/w

    Stamina: superb Wicket Keeping: woeful
    Batting: woeful Concentration: strong
    Bowling: quality Consistency: exquisite
    Fielding: remarkable

    he is currently getting 3 bowling and 1 fielding. I dropped his stamina net because he just popped to superb.

    any thoughts on how many nets I should give him? i know some people here have guys on the NT and have been training "older" players

    Seargeant is on a steady diet of three batting nets. At some point, I'd like to work a little more on his fielding. I think Kevin has been giving Julian more nets, because he's at least a half a primary level ahead of Seargeant right now, but at the cost of personal fitness issues.

    hmm, i might give Rose 2 or 3 nets (3 bowling or 2 bowling and 1 fielding)

    the problem is with FC matches starting I need him to play every match in order to win!

    If you're going to try and train his bowling to elite I wouldn't give him a fielding net. He already has very nice cons and fielding but to train them any more wouldn't give a very big performance bonus compared to the extra wage you'll be paying him.

    My superstar 19yo (approaching exquisite batting) is down to 2 batting nets. If I kept his fielding as well i'd never be able to afford to train him to elite.

    I was looking at the national team roster and noticed that my guy has a higher BT Rating than all but 3 of the players...

    Junior Mason (78255) - 23 yo, BT Rating=169,008
    LH Batsman, LM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, invigorated
    A defensive player with strong leadership skills and woeful experience.

    Stamina: superb
    Batting: strong
    Bowling: feeble
    Fielding: wonderful
    Wicket Keeping: remarkable
    Concentration: phenomenal
    Consistency: exceptional


    Does he have any chance to make the national team?

    Or BT-mail Asterix to inquire.

    I'm guessing the bat isn't good enough, but you never know as this guy is on the England squad:
    7. Isaac Lawson (41875)
    RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, strong batting form, superb bowling form, sublime
    A cautious player with woeful leadership skills and mediocre experience.

    Part of the England squad

    No, he's not good enough.

    His BT rating is inflated because of his high but useless consistency and his almost useless fielding and his somewhat useful concentration.
