That is fantastic news. Well done on that one. Don't promise him anything for now because slots on the team may get very tight soon and unless he is way past Farouq we would stick with the guys we have. Still more important to save someone who may be a star of the future than to move around borderline players now. However he is looking fantastic and may well be our starter next season!

Report on our list of inactive but not botted teams.

We will be looking for teams that were last active from about the 4/4 to the 10/4 for saving.

Active Teams: 49 -> 55 this week. Good news 6 new teams! We should say hello later.


IPL
14/4 DECCEN CHARGERS
17/4 Yadu sixers
18/4 El Novena

II.1
29/3 The Radiants BOTTED and already replaced with a new team Ryan riders
6/4 Blazing Storm (about to go bot)
6/4 chithrasethumadhavan Team (about to go bot)
6/4 ronkies bc (about to go bot)
8/4 ACMY (about to go bot)
8/4 abhishek kings (about to go bot)
8/4 Black Pearl (about to go bot)
11/4 sixty x

II.2
4/4 L@ lakers (about to go bot)
5/4 Ghatak (about to go bot)
8/4 Lethals (about to go bot)

II.3
9/4 Tigers United (about to go bot)
12/4 MH comebacks

That is 10 teams going Bot this weekend. Obviously as the season goes on the saved players have less and less value but we are maybe facing a crunch.

Who to save?

II.1
6/4 chithrasethumadhavan Team - no-one good enough.

6/4 ronkies bc
A+ 4k 18 MVP Vihang Singh (20728599) awesome!
A 4k SS Draksaramesvar Singh (20728594) fantastic!

8/4 ACMY
A 18 4k pas Alokendra Balakrishnan (21214967) - great
D 4k 19 pas Husnan Haque (21214968)

8/4 abhishek kings
B 18 5k allstar Cittanatha Kumar (20864593) - super
A 18 5k pallstar Dineshchandra Saidullah (20864587) - just wow
D 19 5k SS Chellakumar Khan (20864584) - meh

8/4 Black Pearl - no-one

II.2

5/4 Ghatak
D 19 4k p-allstar Taradhish Krishnan (19778684) - okish

8/4 Lethals - no-one


II.3
9/4 Tigers United
B 4k 18 allstar Dinesh-Babu Jain (19778578) - nice
B 3k 18 ss Ibhanan Kazmi (19778572) - potential

So that is 10 players we could save, but bad news, we only have 2 spots left. So either we pull the pin on the season right now or we only choose the two best from these 10. Wow a tough choice. Would love to hear everyone's opinion.

I think we should save the seven 18yos.

I would suggest to save both the players of ronkies BC and dineshchandra of abhishek kings....
1 of them is an MVP while i am suggesting the other 2 coz if they are trained well thaycan help us out of our big men problem......
i think that this should be the last week of saving coz many teams have made their training schedules so if we try to save others after this week i dont think it will be of any use....

Vihang Singh from ronkies bc is good and have a fantastic potential with a fantastic height for a guard, but has a atrocious passing...
Draksaramesvar Singh from ronkies bc is good too, but he has 6 atrociouses, including his stamina, so I'd say no. He can only be a C, but his height is Height: 6'8" / 203 cm, which is not really that great for a C.

At this point, we shouldn't consider the 19 year old players because their training is behind by a season and a few weeks, thus we should prioritize the 18 year old players.

I don't know the skills of most of the other players, but in my opinion, we should save Cittanatha Kumar and Dineshchandra Saidullah from abhishek kings. Cittanatha Kumar has allstar potential, which is somewhat low to be useful for a NT (but maybe not, if trained right) but he's short and can be trained quickly. Dineshchandra Saidullah has been playing as a C in his team and he's giving a good rating for a player who's not trained.

So I'd say save Cittanatha Kumar and Dineshchandra Saidullah from abhishek kings.

Thanks everyone, it sounds like the plan is to save the best two this week and then just try to somehow win our next two matches, then we can look at our situation. Thanks so much everyone for the detailed feedback on those guys.

PS: I hate atrocious skills too!

Yeah, like BB_champ said, as this point, those managers who do train already have their fixed trainees (probably), and our potential future players could simply end up in a team that'll just go bot without doing much.

I agree with tier 2 players but the really special players can still find a home, I noticed a Barbados 18 year old going for nearly $2,000,000 - someone is obviously planning to make something special out of him.

Ok so I am just looking for the best 2. It comes down to these guys.

I agree that Draksaramesvar has too many Atrocious skills so he is out. Vihang's passing is a worry but you have to love MVP potential. The other three are unknown. We could save them and find out that they are horrible. My actual gut feeling is to go with Cittanatha out of them just beacuse at 6'0" he will train the fastest, important for someone who is already 18 1/3 and he has the second highest starting wage of all five.

So that is my current inclination. Save Cittanatha Kumar and Vihang Singh.

Cittanatha Kumar has a nice starting salary, so we could expect his skills to be pretty solid, but it could be that the most important skills are just at respectables and all at very low levels.
But I think we could go with Vihang Singh and Cittanatha Kumar.
