I always go for depth. The important thing is to make sure they all have one skill - Block.

Keep in mind I tend to play the more allrounder style teams - Humans, Orcs, Chaos (Yes I do classify them as allrounders).

A lineman/orc or Beastman with Block is a perfectly serviceable BB player.

Also keep in mind I do tend to play in quite bashy leagues, with a quite bashy style. I will also foul a reasonable amount, so need reserves to fill any holes left by players being sent off.

This to my mind is one of the reasons why large rosters aren't very popular on fumbbl. To get the most use out of them, you have to use the boot, and since it is unpopular on fumbbl in general, so are the large rosters.

I tend to retire most nigglers, and most injured players full stop


As an example, I'd add a further two linemen to JanMattys' roster for sure - history has shown I'll need them sooner or later:

You'll see they've played against mostly bashy teams though.

OFF TOPIC MODE ON @ chunky04
You can't have 5 catchers, mate. Very Happy
I usually play with 3 of them just because I will never field more than two. So it's two + a reserve.
I don't like to have a large roster cause it keeps your TR so high and your "effective eleven" TS so low compared to TR...
OFF TOPIC MODE OFF.

btw: nice to see you chunky! It's been a while Smile

Oops, have edited my post to reflect that I meant two more linemen Smile

I tend to agree on the 3 catchers most of the time, but if things are going well with the money and I have nothing else to buy, I'll often get the fourth and skill him up for a rainy day.

Yeah, I don't really have the flexibility anymore to play tourneys in other timezones, which is a shame, as I'd have liked another crack at Stable League and the racial KO league - my Orcs were doing very nicely.
