I'm about to start in our league with a necromantic team, but I can't figure out the best way.
These are for sure:
2 Flesh Golem
1 Werewolf
2 Wight
5 Zombies
1 RR
9 FF
That is 850K
Now I have 150K left. Should I use them on:
1) A werewolf(120K) and a zombie(30K)
2) A Ghoul(70K), a reroll(70K), and a cheerleader(10K)
Is one werewolf worth a reroll and a ghoul?
Or should I start with no reroll, a lower FF, and all the position players?
Please give me your thoughts

I'd go do a slightly modified #2 : Ghoul, reroll, drop FF to 7 and take a zombie |

i'd drop a FF the wolf and get 2 ghouls and 3 re-rolls. since you're going to need team re-rolls to get the ball, fix a failed 2-d bock and dodge. elves can get away with 2 re-rolls but an ag 3 team need a lil more help and getting more re-rolls is going to be expensive. |

Du skal bare købe 16 zombies og ikke andet, så har du jo penge til at hyre starplayers  |

Either...
2 Wights, 2 Ghouls, 8 Zombies, 9 FF, 5 RR's
2 Ghouls, 2 Flesh Golems, 8 Zombies, 4 RR's 9 FF +10k spare
Necros only have two re-roll skills (dodge on the Ghouls) and assuming you'll fail to pickup the ball at least once, you need those re-rolls. Werewolves are turnovers waiting to happen without block and the RR's so ignore them to start with |

Well the Best Design i have found is
2 Wolves 2 Golems 2 ghouls 5 Zombies 9 FF 2 RR's (then buy the wights and RR's later causes massive numbers of cas to opponent teams and scores pretty well) |

personally i would use 2 werewolves rather than 2 flesh golems, although FG are really good, Werewolves are in my opinion better and more usefull. However i use2 of each as even with ff 9 these players take 2-3 games to get hold on if u dont have to replace dead, or dont mind playing with 10 players. Therefore i use 2 werewolves 2 fleshgolems 2 ghouls 5 zombies 2 rerolls and ff 9. This way i can buy the wights quickly and also have a effective team.of course with the wights costing less than WW or FG u can drop the ff to 2 (although in a tournament that might not be wise) and increase rerolls to 3. |

Jugular: I would rather have a 9 FF than a zombie extra
Animal2020: It's The Memorrial Bloodbowl League in Odense, Denmark. www.memorrial.dk
Matt: I have thought about that
Fisso: Hehe, det kan da også være det var en ide, men hvis jeg har 16 zombier, kan jeg jo ikke have nogen star players;)
Ithilkir: Well, I can always use the werewolf as tD'ers in the first couple of matches, but your second suggestions is worth considering
Warblade: Also worth considering
Mikos: I won't drop the FF lower than 7
So now I have 6 new suggestion. Luckily I have a month to decide. We are starting 3th february.
Thanks for your oppinions

2 wolves 240k
2 wights 180k
4 rrs 280k
7 zombies 210k
9 ff 90k
or drop a rr and a zombie (and 2 ff) and get a flesh golem from the start.
i used to start w/ 2 wolves, 3 wights, 3rrs and 6 zombies, but they now only get 2. kinda sucks. i never use ghouls on undead/necro teams. they always seem to be the ONLY ones that get hurt, often dying, usually while dodging away from someone. but now that i only get 2 wights, i may have to take a ghoul or two and give them sure hands instead of making one of the 4 wights the designated ball carrier. the flesh golems are nice to have, but they're pretty damn expensive for being a black orc w/ stand firm. |

I'm no expert on necro teams... never used one.. but i'd go the flesh golum route as the wolfs seem to be like gutter runners -spp hogs- you can develope wolfs quick but I've played against necro teams with two 30+spp wolfs and everyone else without block. |

erm, how exactly do you propose to load up your zombies with spps? they're slower than any other lineman in terms of development. but after using the werewolves to get block (and possibly dodge), they become blitzers instead of scorers. use the wights (or ghouls) to run the ball downfield. |

I'm just starting a league with my necro that looks like this:
2 wolfs
2 wights
2 ghouls
5 Zombies
3 RR
8 FF
I haven't coached a necromantic team before but the wolves seems quite a bit better then the golems. As Slackman pointed out; they are more or less expensive black orcs. I tried a few games against myself and came to the conclusion that the wolves are awsome at taking out players! Especially now in the beginning when no one has dodge. I don't feel like flesh golems add as much chance of winning the early games as the wolves and the early games are as important as the last ones.

I started my necros with:
2 Flesh Golems
6 Zombies
2 Werewolves
1 Ghoul
FF8
3 Rerolls
This gives your zombies and golems plenty of time to get spps, the werewolves will develop quickly into blitzers, allowing your later purchases to get TD's when they come in. The 3 RR's are very much needed in this config.
I also develop the Wights as the throwers, Ball Carrier, since they don't have as much to use doubles on anyways. |

I started with the same line up. If I were to do it over again I would trade out 1 wolf for 1 Flesh Golem. The FG will be a great center for your line and I find that I really only need 1 Werewolf (who almost always gets my blitz move). You can pic up the other pricy guys later. |
