Comments on Goblin Starting Rosters
Goblins are cheap but also fragile so it's important to start with a bench.
At a minimum you want to start with 13 players and go from there. Ideally, you would be looking at
- 11 Goblins- 440k
- 2 Trolls - 230k
- 2 Re-rolls - 120k
Total: 790
From there, add weapons, Re-rolls, Fan Factor and apothecary to your preference.
New Winnings Rules and Team Management
New treasury rules have changed management and starting for Goblins. Dedicated Fans (Originally Fan Factor) and scoring touchdowns now is influential on winnings again but in BB2020, it no longer counts towards TV. While the meta has yet to found, DF is now worth considering for gob rosters.
Winnings are calculated as such. Both teams add each point of Devoted Fans, starting at 1 by default, (DF, known as Fan Factor last edition) and a D3 each. Teams can buy up to a maximum of 5 DF, making a total of 6 (first one is free). They add the score together then multiply by 5. To illustrate the formula:
(DF+D3) + (DF+D3)? * 5
Mathematically each extra point of DF, touchdown and D3 adds 5k extra gold. After a win or loss, the coach rolls a D6 to see if their DF changes.
Good luck with your Gobbos!
- 11 Goblins
- 1 Looney
- 1 Fanatic
- 2 Trolls
- 2 Re-rolls
- 1 Apo
- Total 950k
Bank 50k
Your bread and butter. You get 15 players, a Fanatic and Looney, two trolls and two re-rolls with an apothecary. You also bank 50k gold. This should give you a decent start to begin replacing the inevitable dead goblins.
In addition to this, you may potentially start your first game with a bribe, assuming the opponent is 1000k.
This line up can be customized in a multitude of ways, such as:
- Replacing a goblin with a pogo
- Replace a goblin with a hooligan
- Replace the third re-roll with an apothecary.
- Replace a goblin for 5 DF
It is best to keep the doom diver off as he was badly nerfed this edition.
- 12 Goblins
- 1 Looney
- 2 Trolls
- 2 Re-rolls
- 1 apo
- Total 920k
Bank: 80k
Options
- Buy apothecary for trolls
- Buy hooligan
- Drop a goblin and buy 5 DF
This roster lets you start with a deep bench and potentially start with a bribe. With 15 players and ideally a bribe on hand, you can foul the opposing team with impunity and potentially cause major damage.
Investing in DF now helps your income. Starting with some DF not only will help your income, it lets you likely get a bribe game 1.
- 12 Goblins
- 2 Trolls
- 3 Re-rolls
- 1 Apo
- 5 DF
- Total 990k
Bank: 10k
If you want a different kind of Goblin team reminiscent of the old days, this can be fun. Don't expect to win much but do expect to foul a lot!
You will also be assured of good winnings throughout a league.
Options
- Bank 60k Gold and don't invest in DF
- Get another goblin instead of DF and bank 20k Gold
- Drop the apothecary for another goblin or Reroll.
