And earned a  in the process.
Not that I took any pleasure from killing you. Honest. Would this face lie to you? 
Oh, and congrats on taking out the premiership in season 14. |

2. [B]oxing at 11 - 4 points (1/0/0)
3. Vault Tec Squad - 4 points (1/0/0)
First three Conference positions:
1. Childhood Favourites - 41 points (8/3/3)

Well, the Sons of Brutus had a flurry of games to prep for the FC which explains the number of games on the board for them this early in the season. I suspect an exit either this next game or the one after, which will free us up to pursue another Brawl title.
We are also yet to build a legendary lineman or Ogre. I've come to a new level of appreciation for our humble linemen, and have growing reservations about the number of positional players at our disposal. So the time may be right to pursue this project. It promises to be even more head scratching than entering the FC with less than 4 Blitzers and should keep me entertained well past the 400 game threshold. |

Sooo why did you enter with only 4 bliters?  |

Well defensive formations can only protect 4-5 players from a 1st turn hit. If you're running 4 blitzers, an Ogre, a Thrower and a Catcher, then 2 or more of them will be exposed if you want/need to field them all. And then on attack how many of these positionals will need to perform screening duties once the drive gets going?
An unskilled or block lino is just as effective at screening duties and is cheaper to replace when it gets cpombed into retirement.
Also, once developed the Blitzer is naturally a hammer, and how many hammers do we need? |

You know that I strongly disagree, right?
In my book the blitzers are the hammer, the screw and the nails, too. Four of them always on the pitch and protected together with the thrower, the catcher(s) only play on offense and the Ogre is always exposed to a T1 blitz.
But I see your point and I'm curious to see how it turns out. |

They are definitely some versatile hammers.
But I am also one of those guys who have 190k of skills on the bench when playing defense so it's easy protecting 4 blitzers. 
Trying out a rookie catcher on defense to try and capitalize more if I ever get the ball loose. |

Welcome Aval .. you just have to play, the script will follow your results without you having to do anything. Just remember that only games played over 1601TV count towards conference and you can follow your position (on both divisions) on the standings buttons on the group page: https://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=group&op=view&group=7383 |

I prefer to have a blitzer than a lino just for the extra ma.
I experiment myself with all positionals on team (2thrower, 4 blitzers, 1 ogre and 3 catchers) and i like that, my only problem is the setup in defense, not enough lineman. |

Anyway, even if you beat the Overseer of the Vault, I root for Cron breaking the 100 CAS barrier! |
Woops moving it here then 
The road for success for a human blitzer seems given as the two top human bashers have exactly the same build. What has changed thou is that Cron has overtaken Superintendente Vicente as the top active human blocker in the box. How long thou can Cron keep it going with his old battle wond a smashed hip?
All time top human box blocker is still Bomber |
