Does anyone got any ideas about what i should get for my rookie Dark Elf team. For the moment, it consists of:
4 Blitzers
2 Catchers
4 Linemen
1 Witch Elf
2 Re Rolls

I got 140,000 gold pieces to add stuff for.
This is my first team, so any help is apreociated!

Dark Elves can purchase catchers?

No, they have to "make" them.

Ugh!! FF - 2

I would go for another WE or a RR.

I'd say 3rd RR and save for the second WE and to replace the -ag blitzer. Most likely you'll probably want the position players as replacements even if you suffer a loss or two. Also, be sure to shoot for those 2 TDs and 2 CASs every match, as you really need to up that Fan Factor.

Regarding 'making' catchers, I think you'll find that it's better to spread the SPPs around. With AG 4, all your players (except the aforementioned -ag blitzer) are about as good as other team's dedicated throwers and catchers. Try getting all your players block and dodge first and a few other crucial skills (sure hands on the two throwers and kick on a lineman. Don't laugh, it rocks). Look for players who are just a completion away from a skill and start them off in the backfield on offense and try to set up players who are 3 away for the score.

I made the same mistake with my Dark Elf team, starting with a 4 fan factor. All it took was 2 bad games back to back,-2 fan factor, and I was playing with 7 players for the following 10 games. I played through it, though and they're doing better now,... Wink ...but I'll never start a new team with a low fan factor again.

You need to get your fan factor up higher so you can weather those bad games, and purchase new players when they die...so I agree with BadMrMojo, the reroll is key.

You really should check out the User Guide; it stresses the importance of FF for long-term team development. In particular, check out the Dark Elf team creation page: http://fumbbl.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=DarkElfSetUp
