note that: norse are one of the best teams at the beginning, but you will have a hard time once your tr/ts goes up

Norse was my first blood bowl team (and then later my first FUMBBL team.) Good for starters, but Lizards is where it's at!

Good luck with that. I love Norse myself (and just like WindexChugger i started my TT-career with Norse) but Reisender is right. You will do OK up to about TR 150-180 depending on how good you are, but after that it's tough as your only real advantage on the pitch - block vs unskilled players - is gone and you have AV7 players who cannot dodge away. If you want to have a sporting chance with Norse you need to learn to foul.

I checked out your Norse, and here are some pointers for your next team:

* You need more FF than 5 if you plan on the team lasting. This is especially true for Norse because AV7 means you are going to loose players.
* Norse need RR to for ball related rolls, such as pick-ups. Make sure that you try to get a Sure Hands player as soon as you can.
* An apothecary is your first purchase unless you get one from the start. It's better to play your second game with 10 players and an apo then to play with 11 players and no apo.
* Don't spend money on Assistant Coaches and Cheerleaders. You have an ogres worth in gold doing close to nothing for you there.

Again, good luck and welcome to FUMBBL! :-)
