Apologies if this is listed somewhere but does anybody know what year the games ends or will it just keep going forever?
I'm just playing England international mode and have reached 2032.
Many thanks

2 Your players will struggle to return to form playing 1st or 2nd string if they are not fit. I look for at least 70% fitness or they are marked down to be rested. Use your physio sessions weekly to avoid this becoming major problem. Rest and rotate often.
3 Start at 7 notches aggression for T20 and don't be afraid to go down to 3 if you lose quick wickets.
4 Your batsman will generally score their highest number of runs at 3 aggression. In FC my advice is to start at 2 (1 if cloudy) and move to 3 after the batsman is 60% settled and I never move them up if they are in the 40's or 90's. I would only move them down to get over a milestone if they had a few overs of not scoring. I will only move to 4 bars in FC to hit a bonus point target before declaring for example.
5 When looking for a young player I look at conversion to 50/100s or 5wi and 2nd XI 3 day average. I have found the greatest indicator of talent is when you play them out of form. Yes they may occasionaly get a GD but if they can grind to 100+ from 2 stars of form then they deserve your attention. Same applied for a 5 for. This is not FM you cannot just hire a decent scout and be 100% accurate of a players potential. You have to keep reviewing your youth and in different formats.
6 Don't sign Irish players - they spent a great deal of the season getting thrashed whilst you pay their wages. You often won't get a game from them inbetween matches due to the form and fitness levels you tend to get them back with.
7 Your overseas player should be from the youth pool. This one is very much opinion based. But imo you should never hire a young star from the overseas pool as wages can typically increase 400% and you have to re sign them annually. With patience you can get world class foreign youth players for 25k. If you can't get a young overseas player in look for a 30 year old on around 40k as they will likely play less formats for their national team and will have a big impact on FC cricket still.

General Tips
Hi guys
This forum is great for info but I have found out quite a bit of useful stuff that is not in the forum (that I can see) so I wanted to bullet point some tips and hopefully you guys can add to this list and turn it into something really helpful.
