Rookies Beware!
There two ways to look at choosing a team to enter the Fumbbl Cup. I myself am more of a Box coach. I like the randomness of my opponents and unexpected chaos. That is neither here nor there. In Ranked I don't get a lot of fair match ups offered, so I haven't built many good teams. I do have a decent Lizardman team that surprisingly gets more games than my other teams. Maybe its because they have stunty players on them and some hope to get easy casualties. I do well with them regardless.

So does one take a Bash built Box team, in hopes of facing some weasely Ranked Bash dodgers? Or does one take their own bash dodging better rounded Ranked team and hope to avoid the Box-Trocities. Much to ponder on this. I may need several days to decide, but the thoughts of getting a chance to crush a team that has strictly avoided Box like teams has really perked my blood lustiness. Everyone knows the coaches that pray on the Ranked rookies, and avoiding the challenge of Box. Id love to mutilate one of those teams. Either way Rookie Coaches should beware of the soon to be Cherry pickers looking to boost their SSP, and gold bank. I think Elliott_the_Lame stated this last year and I always thought it was some good advice.

At the least when any Box teams prepare for the cup, they will be killing each other off in the process. I figure that is a more respectable way to prepare for the toughest Tourney on the site. I suspect the one ratings will come primary from the Ranked only coaches. No biggy, it be what it be. :) Ill probably try to play some games and then get my Box team ruined. There by choosing my own Ranked Lizards. I can be such a two face dick-wad sometimes XD

Skaven with a oneturner is the recipe...

In all my almost 10 years on the site I've always intended to play the FC but never quite got around to it.

Thanks for killing off the last of my flagging enthusiasm Keggie (and Roland). ;)

Maybe Purplechest should accidentally delete this blog.

Damn you, just as I wanted to start hunting rookie coaches with the Monsters...!!!

L is the way.

L for losing? I do that all the time. :-D

lol..I love the subtle message...Rookie coaches beware on the Ranked GF because they are going to pick and pick and pick.

SO

Get away from all of that and come over to Box so we can pick and pick and pick on your teams...BUT...It is random, so your feelings will not get hurt.
Posted by PainState on 2014-10-29 17:19:34
On a serious note I would like to point something out.

You can Pick on the GF and groom your team.

You can Min/Max the scheduler all day long.

You can CPOMB up 12 guys on your team.

You can do everything in your power to have what you think is the best team you can make.

BUT

IT does not matter. The FUMBBL Cup is to many rounds, to many chances of mass anarchy happening on your poor pixels. One bad RNG seed is all it takes to send you packing.

The key to FC success is this and listen up good.

1)Get a good draw that gets you past the first 4 rounds..but this is random, out of your control.

2)AV checks and INJ checks against you are nice and soft...but this is random, out of your control.

3)Every pixel you block you crumble his pixels into the pitch..but this is random, out of your control.

4)Wizards fizzle when they strike at your team and your wizard cast spells with irresistible force...but this is random, out of your control.

5)Your opponent has star players who cannot pass loner checks, yours always pass..but this is random, out of your control.

6)Coach your butt off and play smart and don't lose focus. This is the only thing you have control over.

FOLLOW my 6 rules of playing in majors and you to one day might actually make it to a final 4 in a major.
Posted by Rabe on 2014-10-29 18:26:20
All true. But having a solidly built team still helps. Otherwise we could simply take rookie halflings or a team full of undeveloped zombies. :-)
Posted by PainState on 2014-10-29 19:22:52
And some coaches do Rabe.

But the best rookie roster to bring to the FUMBBL Cup would be a 14 man Norse team made up of only Linemen.

Inducement madness will ensue and all your guys have Block.
Posted by Rabe on 2014-10-29 20:27:58
I'd give it a try if I wasn't on a mission already. :-)
