I am creating a team for DOTP, a league whose main stipulation is that players only leave your roster in a box!

I am playing Norse, and I thought it would be interesting fluff to compose my roster of players that other Fumbblers have fired. It makes sense that injured (but not dead) players would band together, form a team, and join DOTP.

So what I need is some links to norse players that you have fired. I will create a new player with the same name and position. For fluff purposes, I will say that their injury cancels out their skills, and results in a player that is effectively a rookie. You'll get credit in the player bio for participating.

I am thinking of calling them 'Second Chancers' or 'No Hopers' or something of that nature (I am open to suggestion on this as well)

Thanks in advance for your help! Please let me know if you have any questions.

EDIT: The team is created: https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=790877 Please keep the submissions coming though, I'll need more Norse when these ones start dying!

The NWFL League team Lindisfarne Midnight Sons have lost their share of good players - take your pick! (Most have comments in the player bio.)

Good Idea!

Probably my best Norse retired player. She got her skull cracked in the Norse XFL semifinal.

This one https://fumbbl.com/p/player?op=view&player_id=9600866
was pretty cool, too.

I'm sure you can find many retired norsemen in the Charioteers' obituary, that is probably longer than LOTR tho...

Nothing special here, a few with potential til cumulative injuries made them too gimped:

Colocadito! https://www.fumbbl.com/p/player?op=view&player_id=9504283

And in that team there are a few more that might be useful to you, but the closest thing to a true star that team ever had was Colocadito.

Thanks so much for your submissions, everybody! I honestly wasn't sure if people would think this was cool or not, so I'm glad to get some positive notes.

The team is prepared, you can check it out and follow its progress here: https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=790877

Please feel free to keep adding to this thread, as I'll need new players to replace the dead ones! I'll keep mining the fired players of the teams above as well.

Unstoffe. His injuries slowly turned him into a halfling.

Gordreg. Rapidly turning into a zombie.

Great idea!

Just checked... but sadly I only ever had two barely played Norse teams, and they suffered from three deaths, but no retirements. Sad

I have a Nurgle team that only sports retired players from all over FUMBBL. Smile So I can only approve and encourage you and other to create (more of) such teams! It's a lot of fun and makes a team so much more interesting!

A few seasons off in the sauna or training room (or just finding that lost helmet) and they're back to fighting trim (if a bit out of practice in the skill department).

2 Valhalla-bound warriors from the Midnight Sons - well chosen!

I seem to have more dead than retired Norsemen.
