According to Christer:

https://fumbbl.com/p/blog?c=Christer&id=24558

Mega Stars won't be available anymore soon.

Is there a list somewhere to check them?

If there is not a list, are Bomber and Cindy Mega Stars?

Doh! Sad I need Bomber and Cindy removed, so I can play other races, for example, Tomb Kings and Humans.
Thanks for the reply!

According to the stats, khemri and human are better than dark elves (when considering only playing against the stronger rosters)

That's the link

but of course better to use the one proposed by HimalayaP1C7

https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#blood-bowl

because G&W update the design commentary and Faq/ Errata regularly. I believe the next update should be published in May 2023.
Goodbye Bomber Dribblesnot: you will NOT be missed ! Very Happy

P.S) Does anyone know what the "Blood Bowl Matched Play Guide for tournament" is about? I was thinking to purchase it but before i wanted to have an idea what is inside.

I know, but I like to play agile teams. Also, if a bomb hits the ball carrier/cage, it's easier to recover from that with AG 2+ than AG 4+.
With Tomb Kings it could be a nightmare (and I'm not even considering the Pouring Rain scenario).
Humans, instead, could be man-marked by Orcs, the cage could be blasted, and then they would have to recover the ball and dodge away from Orcs with AG 3+, not exactly easy, even with multi rr. It can be done, but it could make a game more frustrating to play. I mean, Humans vs Orcs is an already bad match-up for Humans without Bomber, let alone with him.

Thanks everyone for the list, much appreciated!

Well, Bomber is banned, that's already awesome! Very Happy

As an aside, looks like that there is general agreement about Mega Stars' ban.

This is great news! I often take Bomber just to deny him to the opposition (if they also have access). It's really pointless.

Also, while the other banned Stars are more expensive, and less often encountered in Box games, 50 TV gap is very common.

It's a way for GW to say they published guide lines for running tournaments instead of needing to defer to The NAF for those rules. Typically, if you're running a tabletop tournament you should instead refer to any of the big TT tournaments and look at how that's done rather than using GW's rules.

It's good that the publication exists, but it's mostly not necessary.

Did GW make the Megastar rules around the same time the Cindy mini was relaunched?
But the rules were out for a while before that?

So they knew it was basically the same as Dribblesnot. But didn't include her in the megastar list

A cynical person might assume they released one OP star, sold a lot of models, then put a leash on the first one and released a second version of the same OP star, assuming that everyone will then go and run out and buy that model. and ideally a new team too
