Saurus Ball Handlers? (Thanks Fumbbl)
Hello to everyone in the Fumbbl community!
I've just recently joined up and have had loads of fun and a great experience so far, so I'd just like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all the advice and help I've had from the coaches that use IRC. Also an extra shout out to all the coaches who had patience with me during my starting period...as it can be said I was a little slow!
I'm primarily a Lizzie coach so I will take this chance to show off my main team Reptile Disfunction.

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride so far with more than my fair share of deaths (5/22 games & only 1 dead skink), nevertheless I'm well pleased how my first Saurus ball handler is turning out. However I stupidly added new pics and bios for my star players which more than likely completely jinxed them to the nonsensical and somewhat murderous whims of Nuffle (and Clawpomb players).
I have recently started a few more teams (DE,NRS,CHAS) and its been a good learning experience working out different strategies. I'd also appreciate any debate whether its worth having a Saurus ball handler or not!
Well anyhow, thanks to everyone that helps and continues to keep Fumbbl alive, props to you.
Good luck and have fun!

There will be a few Lizard coaches jealous about that carrier I expect. Good work.

I really like the idea with a saurus ball handler. I think Tarabaralla did really well with his saurus ball handler

It is a pain to get the ball away from a saurus. In the begining I would however try to get the other saurus to score as well to skill them up.
Cheers

Nice carrier. Needs break tackle though. =)
At least he should keep you from scoring with skinks too much.
Too bad you want AV on that skink, he's have made a brilliant oneturner with MA.
Also, the ss/catch should have been ss/dt in my book.

Next two skills - Stand Firm and +AG, and you have yourself your very own Temple Guard Champion! It's like winning the Lustrian Challenge without actually winning it! :D

Hello all! Thanks for all the comments.
Taraballa's ball saurus is cool and it give Ben Macdui a good target to reach. I must explain when I got my +MA/AV on my skink I misclicked and only found out I could change it after I played a game but I hoping it will allow him to survive a few more games extra. Diving tackle isn't a skill I have used much yet but I didn't want to give it to my double skink since I feel it shortens a skinks lifetime dramatically!
What does everyone think for the next skills for my ball carrier? I'm praying I get a +AG then i'll get break tackle, I hadn't considered stand firm for him tho.

Hmm, I don't like a saurus ball carrier, but that's just me :-). For me, you have 7 players that can control and lock down the position, and prevent the opponent playing, and to voluntarily reduce that to 6 is something I don't like to do.
He's certainly a good one though! Certainly Break Tackle next for him (barring a +AG), then, if you don't get anything else, I'd add Tackle so he's useful on defense. Must make elf games a lot easier for you..

my opinion on a saurus ball carrier:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&player_id=7599288
Need I say more? (though it helps that he starts ag3) the strength 4 makes it much harder for the oponant to take down your carrier (especialy when in a cage). but because you're playing lizies you'll have to be a bit more gutsy with the skinks now in terms of defense, you just traded in a top basher for a possably amazing runner. best of luck to you and hope this works out.
