Help a human!
I saw a drive to get more human teams into the FC cup and so I decided to pad up and enter my human cricketers in for a laugh:
http://www.fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=700285
Despite it being my first FUMBBL Cup experience I managed to smash past "filler" in round 1 and then dodge past a Khemri team to spawn my way into round 3. I'm now faced with a team, nay, a small army of rats in the next round and I'm receiving 750k of inducements!
In my limited time playing this game I've never had this amount of gold to play with and my star player experience runs to the odd chainsaw dude. Anyone have any thoughts on the best human star players against skaven?
Also in the last game on a 2d attacking block (with RR) my rookie ogre managed to wrap his bat around his knee as well his opponent and niggled himself into retirement. Is it worth spending some reserves hiring a new one for this game or do you think there are some other tasty inducements that might be more useful?
There are just so many options so any advice for an inexperienced human coach would be appreciated!

I haven't added it up, but I'm pretty sure you could induce Morg'n'thorg AND The Mighty Zug. Or Helmut Wulf. Or Griff Oberwald. Or an Ogre merc with Piling On. In fact, with those star players, you really can't go wrong! If you get enough muscle, you could smoke that team. Even a mercenary with tackle might be a good investment.

The rats have lots of players, but not really any stars. Still I would take a wiz, 3 bribes, Helmut, and a dirty player lineman merc, and foul like crazy. If you can get rid of the GR, the rest should come easy.
An ogre, (Or Zug, Griff, or Morg for that matter) are not really going to help with your main main issue. Defense against speed. The best you can do is make it ugly. Go for a 2-1 grind and try to foul his av 7 off the pitch.
My 2 cents.

im on the chains saw +dp +bribes route should work, and hope for more bribes from kick offs

Take Griff. He only has one Dauntless runner who can get the ball from Griff easily. Attack that rat with a chainsaw. And take the wizard and a bribe.
1) Secure the ball with Griff and kill stuff. Score. Then he will score, hopefully quickly. Repeat step 1. In the end, if fouling and killing works, and he runs out of rats on a drive, you might be able to stall and score one more time that he does at the last minute. Keeping him from getting the ball thus-ly is key.
HE can't stall until the last minute, because you save your wiz to stop that nonsense.
Best of luck, human coach.

Is the team name inspired by the quote from the movie Bugsy Malone?

Thank you folks! It seems my chaps are going to have to shun the spirit of cricket and opt for rough and probably dirty tactics.
Let's hope the two umpires turn a blind eye to the suspiciously buzzing and shiny cricket bat that Helmut brings to the crease...
PS Bugsy Malone: not seen that in donkey's years!
