Hey, if you haven't read part one of "Team Construction" You might want to check it out first.

Alright last time we looked at knowing the team you are creating; now we're looking at actually making the team.

First thing you are going to want to do is either: set your FF (Fan Factor) to the desired level (the higher it is, the more cash you make), or buy a key player or two. What I mean by "key player" is somebody who makes the plays, like a big guy, blitzers, strength or agility fours, etc. But you don't always want as many of those guys as possible at first (for reasons like: getting enough people on the team, having a decent FF, getting that apothecary for your low armor teams, etc.). Remember; if you like the team the will probably be around for a while. Then, once you have done one of the first steps, do the other one! After that you are going to want to get all the basic players you need (*when making a team who has players with OFAB (Off For A Bite) you will need thralls so that you don't lose half of your team to OFAB). You’re going to want to take a look at re-rolls and apothecaries after that, on some teams they need one more then the other in the beginning. Teams with OFAB will need re-rolls more then most teams but teams with many armor 7s or 6s will probably want an apothecary (the exception is stunties[they're meant to die], teams with many regenerates [though get them an apothecary later, it never hurts to have one], and teams that are very bashy people with vary mushy people [like Halflings!])

Remember you don't need the max of every type of player in the beginning, you can get them later (but ALWAYS get key players, you don't want a human team made completely of linemen)

And that's about it for now.

P.S. I know many people don't like big guys, but they are almost essential, if only to keep some heat off the guys on the LOS (Line Of Scrimmage)
