Here are the team:
http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=99164

This is my only and ever favorite team (an exception is the high elves that are here to play a tourny with friends). And furthermore, this team is quite long living.

My brain keep telling me to fire the RO (he has nothing special), but remplacing him is hard cause of his cost (i know it from experience, this is my 4th Rat Ogre).

One part of my brain tell me to boot the kick too, i hate niglings. But the other part say that i desesperatly need the kick skill. So i should keep him waiting to get another one, and maybe he will get a very cool skill (ant at this point i will check if i keep him or not).

As a supplementary question, what do you think of the team bio format ?

I voted for Burn everbosy 'cause it's funny, but I think the RO does have to go.

I voted fire both nigglers.

The RO has suffered enough in his life with 2 SIs, I think.
Of course you can keep the niggler for next skill, but Block is nothing special, and even if he gets a mutation next you should probably retire him. The team is looking really nice to me.

Firing bothe reduces your TR 30 points, so you are well in a better cash catogery, thus will earn more cash. You have a dauntless player that can take on high ST players if need be. I believe Skavens can go without RO pretty well for some game.
You also have a fresh linerat that can get kick as first skill, or give it to the Block FA linerat at third skill.

EDIT: Cool bio! Wink

Well Panda, you gave me some good advice on my rats, and it has worked like a charm sofar! So my advice to you is to sack the nigglers asap. Hope it works for ya!

Fire RO, keep the kicker for now, when you get another linemen skilling, take kick and fire the niggler.

Fire both, and give kick to someone soon.

Good bio, I like it.

Voted for the RO. If your next LM has kick your actual kicker is great line fodder.

I'm greatly sensible to that.

But to come back:
The Rat Ogre is worth 20 spp.
The Linerat is worth 11 spp.

So if i fire them both, i will be at 179tr (only one category better than now for the money), I would have love to become 175tr. But i don't.

So firing only one will bring me to 190tr (RO fired) or 199tr (kicker fired). The same money category as if i fire them both.

That's another point that should make me fire only the Rat Ogre despite sergei opinion.

Maybe some others has another argument ?

i think rat linemen have a right to die on the line of scrimage

only if he double niggles fire the kicker

The ogre - its hard, but he must go. You can play some games without him.

It's ranked, if you drop to 179 TR, you get to play against a 179 TR opponent Wink

Right. And you will be below 200 for at least 2 or 3 games.
Besides, playing a game with a niggler you know you will fire later on, will lead to the niggler missing that game and get the MVP for that... Wink

Ok, So i did fire the Rat Ogre.

Made a match,

Earn 50k money, which bring me to 90k.
Score a touchdown wich the new rat, he missed a last turn TD, which could have bring him to get kick.
And TR Goes up to 201.

Thanks for all those advices. I hope to be able to buy another RO next match (I know he is far from beeing necessary, but he is 8ar and i never got more than that).

Advices worked well. We (all my rats, their cheering fans and me) thanks you people a lot.
