Well, first people don't play against bashy team, now they don't play against team with low FF... in 2 years they won't play except against flings with two trees MNG and FF 25 Very Happy


Okay the only team I would maybe ever consider not playing against is Flings with FF25, only Nuffle himself could do that, and I don't want to start imagining how my dice would be when playing against Nuffle, and brrr, how his dice would be....

Ultimately it is your decision whether or not to have a high or low FF at the beginning of your teams career. However, just be aware that there are some coaches who will not play your team because:
A. Your FF is not high enough
B. Your team is to "bashy"
C. They are a bad coach and don't know how to deal with the diversity of your team
D. They have inferiority complex
Make your team however you want, you can always play me.

E. You have a CR of 130 and I don't feel like wasting my time.

Way i see it, if i play with my 200 FF team against your 1FF team I am still going to earn 200K, if i dont play i cant afford anything.
Someone with 200 FF that doesnt have a good team, that doesnt have buckets of skills and a high chance of winning is doing something very wrong.
hey so the other guy gets cash, ummmm so what so do I, and odds are he's going to need a few replacements anyway.

most important of all IT'S A GAME, ITS NOT REAL MONEY

(no i dont really have a 200FF team)

Think I had the best guy just now. Challenged a team with 2FF only to be asked how much FF I had before he played me.

Nearly fell off my chair.

very surprised no one has mentioned front loading yet.

If you have ff 1-3 and i have higher ff, especially at low tr. You will likely have a front loaded team. Cash i spent on ff, you spent on positionals etc. So you have a tougher team promising lower income. Not very attractive.

personally i rarely care, but as most fumbbl coaches see teams as imortal and care about progression they are looking for balanced games with decent income.

More ff = more offers.

Fan factor in the 6-9 range is a MUST for coaches interested in long term teams.

But I have never met ppl refusing me because of low FF... maybe I'm just lucky.

I've only played 6 games with my dwarves and started with a 4ff. Being new to FUMBBL I really didn't know the norm. I've only had one coach complain about it though. He ended up conceding and I managed to get another concession and now my FF sits at 6. guess I lucked out.

But since then I've been making teams with higher FF just to be "nice". But hey if you are a competitive type going low ff better team is a good strategy if you can get people to play you.

Rarely play below 7. Mostly because of what Purple Chest said. At higher TR I don't care that much, but on the other hand I don't see many low-FF-teams around 200 either...

You want to see one? http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=team&op=view&team_id=70864
The team has FF3 after 31 matches and TR 199. The team doesn't start with so few FF though.

I would both play low FF teams and used to build low FF teams - truth be told, I never really paid that much attention to an opponent's FF. Most of the time I decline games from people with a high CR and an awesome team: I always regretted playing against superior coaches with superior teams.
