Skaven with a oneturner is the recipe...

In all my almost 10 years on the site I've always intended to play the FC but never quite got around to it.
Thanks for killing off the last of my flagging enthusiasm Keggie (and Roland). ;)
Maybe Purplechest should accidentally delete this blog.

Damn you, just as I wanted to start hunting rookie coaches with the Monsters...!!!

lol..I love the subtle message...Rookie coaches beware on the Ranked GF because they are going to pick and pick and pick.
SO
Get away from all of that and come over to Box so we can pick and pick and pick on your teams...BUT...It is random, so your feelings will not get hurt.

On a serious note I would like to point something out.
You can Pick on the GF and groom your team.
You can Min/Max the scheduler all day long.
You can CPOMB up 12 guys on your team.
You can do everything in your power to have what you think is the best team you can make.
BUT
IT does not matter. The FUMBBL Cup is to many rounds, to many chances of mass anarchy happening on your poor pixels. One bad RNG seed is all it takes to send you packing.
The key to FC success is this and listen up good.
1)Get a good draw that gets you past the first 4 rounds..but this is random, out of your control.
2)AV checks and INJ checks against you are nice and soft...but this is random, out of your control.
3)Every pixel you block you crumble his pixels into the pitch..but this is random, out of your control.
4)Wizards fizzle when they strike at your team and your wizard cast spells with irresistible force...but this is random, out of your control.
5)Your opponent has star players who cannot pass loner checks, yours always pass..but this is random, out of your control.
6)Coach your butt off and play smart and don't lose focus. This is the only thing you have control over.
FOLLOW my 6 rules of playing in majors and you to one day might actually make it to a final 4 in a major.

All true. But having a solidly built team still helps. Otherwise we could simply take rookie halflings or a team full of undeveloped zombies. :-)

And some coaches do Rabe.
But the best rookie roster to bring to the FUMBBL Cup would be a 14 man Norse team made up of only Linemen.
Inducement madness will ensue and all your guys have Block.

I'd give it a try if I wasn't on a mission already. :-)
