I am looking for advice on running a gobo team in the current edition. Here is my team.
http://www.fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=482068
For a fair game where gobos have a decent chance, what TV differential do you look for. Do you look for teams with a lower TV because gobos suck? Do you play up and try to hire stars (chainsaw)?
Have you skill choices changed with gobos?
Have your tactics changed with gobos? |

You should ever try to play against teams higher TV 100+ than yours.
This way you can buy: 2 bribes, Fungus or Ripper.
Don't play against same TV teams, if you can.
I don't hire Nobbla, for a simple reason: if you roll a 1 when using the chainsaw he will likely injure himself.
You are better off investing 130k in 2 bribes, or Fungus + 1 Bribe.
Currently, some skills (Ball & Chain, Hail Mary Pass, Bombardier) are not working in the Fantasy Football client, therefore my personal suggestion is:
don't play Goblins until they fix those skills.
One more thing: don't play Goblins in Black Box, because you will be likely paired against a team having same TV of yours, and this is absolutely not good for Goblins.
Play them in Ranked only and challenge TV 100+ than yours, and try to keep them to TV 1350 max, or lower.
At higher TV they perform way worse than in the 1000-1350 bracket. |

Well, I played these goblins in LRB4, and rarely used the ball and chain or bombardier. No loss for me. How have the rules changes affected gobos. Have they affected gobos? I do however like my chainsaw. |

The Chainsaw isnt great in a rookie gobo team because he doesnt have dodge. The ball and chain isnt working properly at the moment, but you are given a st7 goblin instead so still take one.
I have just started playing with goblins in ranked as well, feel free to watch some replays, i have won 4 out of 4 so far. I have been playin teams with equal Tv mainly, just because i have accepted all offers and cba to wait for the right opponent. But yeah in leagues being a TV underdog can help. Im not so sure if it does in ranked as much? but I have only played low TV with goblins here so im not sure.
edit: oh and here is my team - http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=685486 |

Until the bomber is fixed, the gobo team is less than it could be , the lOon not working properly isn't effecting it badly, but the bomber missing is tough to play over 1300-1400 tv, if they ever fix it, then the gobbos will be fun again, but until then stay bellow 1300, and never play a basher team. |

A bit funny that neither pact nor lizards tried to block your trolls+fanatic line when both could get a 2d big guy block on the fanatic fairly easily.  |
