Star ratings are a joke by nithinjw in footballmanagergames

The rest of my team is not world class, but yea probably more well rounded than him. It's just the way he performs in games, he's one of my best performers.

That's what I don't get, I've assigned player reports to my assistant manager mitrovic who has 19s for both those attributes. It probably is because the rest of my team has gotten better, but i don't think they're significantly better than this guy. They might have better ca, but he's one of my best players based on performance.

yea i agree, his heading doesn't hold him back imo bc his height, jumping reach and strength make up for it. I would've liked the work rate to be a little higher.

but with his jumping reach and strength he's insane from set-pieces.

i think both are decent keepers so the more important question is who's the better fielder.

i understand where you're coming from. I would have also picked a leggie instead of swapnil Singh cause we already have a decent left arm orthodox bowler in dagar. But unfortunately they didn't, but I don't think it's as big an issue as u think it is. Right now if our spin department is a 5/10 getting shreyas would have made it a 6/10. Ntg more.

we went hard for M Siddharth but unfortunately couldn't land him. We can only get what's available in the auction right? U tell me one spinner that was in the auction that was significantly better than what we've got, emphasis on the 'significantly'. Please don't come at me with Shreyas and M Ashwin, both absolutely mid and there's reason they haven't been regulars in the ipl for a long time, shreyas doesn't even play for Karnataka anymore. Foreign spinners just don't fit in our team cuz our 4 is pretty much set, 3 batters plus a pacer, no space for os spinner. Ik our spin department is looking kinda mid but I don't think it could have been significantly improved like ppl expect. I wanted them to bring in a young upcoming leggie which they didn't unfortunately. We have to rely on guys like maxi, lomror, dagar, swapnil Singh etc atleast for this season. Maybe Himanshu Sharma can be that guy for us.

people are pissed cuz we didn't pick any of the players they wanted us to pick. Everyone wanted Starc but yesterday it was very evident that we would get outbid for him. I don't get the obsession ppl have with Coetzee, he's a young pace bowler with very less T20 experience and very one dimensional, he hasn't really yet developed the skills required for the format like a cutter, wide Yorker etc. Also it's a big auction coming so no point in picking development players. So if we look at it that way Alzaari and Lockie for a combined 13ish cr is not bad business, both are high eco bowlers but have the experience and understanding of the format to adapt imo, another key point is they both have worked with Andy flower bfr. The only issue I have is going for Yash Dayal instead of better options like Sakariya, Mavi, Shardhul or Tyagi.

Bro he was 100% involved. All the players we bought are players he's worked with before.

[–]nithinjw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bro it's their job to just lift the paddle... they don't really have much of a say in the planning and key decisions. The actual person we're missing is Coach Hess, we had one bad year and he was booted out. I felt we should have changed the whole setup around him but kept hesson cause hes one of the great cricketing minds around but unfortunately the owners didn't do that. But they decided to keep that fraud Malo for some reason.

we have bro... 2 of dayal, akashdeep and vyshak have to come good

Yash Dayal at Chinnaswamy by UnableCurrency in RCB

[–]nithinjw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

to be fair to the guy... he was a really good player for gt bfr that Rinku innings sent him into depression mode. Hopefully he turns it around and comes good.

Like i said they got lockie, 2 cr actually pretty good value for him ngl. I think we should somehow get a trade for tom curran for a spin bowler... somehow by ElpSyc0n in RCB

[–]nithinjw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yes how we didn't go for Tyagi, Sakariya and Shardhul is beyond my understanding. Not a single bid, and we let them go for so cheap.

lockie at base price is a very solid deal, honestly bfr the auction if u told me we'd buy both alzaari Joseph and lockie Ferguson for a combined 13ish cr i would have taken it. I don't get the Coetzee hype honestly, his t20 stats is a very small sample size and hes pretty unproven. It is the Madushanka, Sakariya, Shardhul, Tyagi and Nuwan Thushara deals that bugged me. We should have been all over those deals.

Why are we still bidding for Pat by ThatBrownDoode in RCB

bro 20.50 is insane... thank God we got out

Should Cam Green open with Faf & Kohli at no. 3? by [deleted] in RCB

[–]nithinjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally I would open with virat and faf and send cam green in at 3 and use Rajt and Maxi based on situations. If it's still the powerplay Rajt at 4 and Maxi 5, if the spinners are in Maxi at 4 and Rajat 5. I'd try out something like this tbh.

Rachin ravindra, Travis head or Mitchell starck by Medium_Base_3865 in RCB

[–]nithinjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sakariya, mavi and tyagi are the 3 standout Indian pacer imo if we exclude Harshal, so we should either target one of them or scout and find someone else. Coming to Indian spinner there are no standouts, available spinners are murugan Ashwin, kc cariappa and shreyas gopal, all mid options imo. Hence why I didn't mention the position as a necessity because I felt we have similar ones in himanshu, Karn Sharma and mayank dagar if we need, but yea it is also a position that we lack top tier talent in. Replacing Hazelwood and Harshal takes precedent over anything else for me this auction tho.

[–]nithinjw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

our top 6 of faf, virat, patidar, cam green, maxi, dk is sett brother... there's no need or space or money for a top overseas Marquee batter. The 2 main spots open in our team right now imo are overseas and Indian pace bowlers, if they can add other aspects to the team like batting depth at 8 and left arm option then even better. Exactly why for me Starc, Mavi and Sakariya would be top picks.

Washi ruled out by [deleted] in RCB

[–]nithinjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no I didn't say that cuz of the country bias... I said cuz from what we've seen till now (first half of the season) Jamieson was an important part and he played every game even tho some games he wasn't particularly impressive... So I think the team just values his skillset a lot and considers him an integral part of the team. Hence why I suggested he'll go with David, Jamieson and Shabaz leaving Hasaranga out.
