well my darkies are in a very dire situation...we lose games, we get almost no winnings, and we have low ff...all the while losing players to nigs, deaths, ageing, and the like...

team:
http://fumbbl.com/teams/Nuffle%27s+Nightmares.html

After getting my ass kicked by the weapon masters (almost impossible but i took 5 cas from the most beat up team I've ever seen, just look at their past player list), I've finaly decided that rebuilding time is probably apon them: should i drop the nigged blitzer since when/if I can get money for another one, he already has block? or should I drop the lino since I can replace him more quickly? or should i just drop both in an effort to lower TR to a point where I won't get my arse kicked and have a chance at money? or should i just pray really, really hard to nuffle? Retiring the team would be my last resort, I just like this team too much.

Dropping the lino will save 17 TR, taking you to the next lower income bracket and leaving you 10 players for next match, more than enough for darkies normally. Save to replace the lino, then retire the blitzer and repeat the process for him. Just don't score with the blitzer anymore unless the game is on the line, and only he can do it.

Keep both of them and don't play with the team until LRB5 becomes implemented.

vanGorn: interesting thought...please explain since I've only heard parts of LRB5 and not the entire thing; i've heard about adding the 'assassin' and DE runner (i'm against both aside from the fact that the assassin is 'fluffly', but with the stab skill it doesnt get spp and seems more like a star player w/ chainsaw than an actual position.) I've also heard about no ageing (that's what happened to blitzer: scored on final turn to get 33 spp and was rewarded with a niggle for his efforts...)

Does anyone have any idea when LRB5 be implemented, or at least around what time?

It's going to take quite a while anyhow Smile

Waiting would be a horrible idea if you actually like playing with them so I'd say fire the nigglers and move - the more valuable a niggler is to your team the better the reason to fire him.

The reason he made mention of LRB5 was b/c in that LRB, having a niggle doesn't stop you from playing, just makes you more likely to get injured when hit again. But you can have 5 niggles on every player, and everybody will show up for every match. Hence, him saying not to fire the two nigglers, but wait until they're guaranteed to show...

Keep them both

Put them on the LoS (with side step its top) until they die or retire them when you have the money for replacement (beginning with the lino)

believe me, i tried that with the 51 spp lino for so many matches...he just kept getting the VP or was just in the right place at the right time on offense: thats how he got to 51 spp, he was the only person in scoring range, so i tossed it to him

it'd be hard to let him go b/c he's walking team history (though with a niggle): he was the 1st to get a 3rd and 4th skill
o well, might have to to save the team

I would ditch both nigglers. With 9 players next game at a rating of 165 (around) you should have no problems getting games and winning them, thus improving your FF Smile

Believe me... it is a long and rocky path to finish recovering with many setbacks, but if you are dedicated you will make it.

Interesting, but not an option imho, here we don't know if the client is going to be updated, how long it's going to take and what's that going to mean here... May be new teams and a new division, just changes to ranked or even nothing.

...and being defeated by the Weapon Masters seems quite standard, not a sing of alarm, they are a legend! Smile

Nah, it gives +1 on the injury roll so it's like giving them Stunty without the benefits.

Nah - it's a +1 to INJURY roll not the ARMOUR roll.
