It works; I even have a winning record for a change!

Not the best example, as it was my first squad on Fumbbl, but is can be effective.
The Goblin + Troll can be a great emergency scoring system, but don't try to rely on it, or you'll end up with several dead goblins.

I like the no-troll configuration.

They're too unreliable + the TTM with goblin is way harder than tree+fling.

I like the no orc build best... 2 trolls, lots of goblins, and a few weapons thrown in as well Smile

I once tried Troll, Blitzers, Gobbo and bunch of linemen as a roster. Had got annoyed at bob's getting crippled as rookies. Strangely from 20 matches the record was 18/1/1. Used the lino's like you would zombies on an undead as displosable roadblocks to provide TZ's.

Amen to that, brother. Orcs suck all the fun out of it.

Haha, yeah I was definitely a filthy cherry picker back then Very Happy

Now I still turn some games down, but not many. In fact it's getting increasingly hard for the zombies to get a match. Might be the 6 Mb, 3 guard, 3 tackle and my habit of fouling a lot. Oh, and our cas' ratio is a little high...

Orcs can handle any team, no picking needed.

I'm hardly a veteran orc coach, but I'll share a couple of my observations:

1) The troll is a great deal for the money, but orcs already have four ST4 players and you don't HAVE to use him. I used one for a few games, then sacked him. It's not really the TV cost over a linemen (although 70tv isn't insignificant), it's the unreliability of the troll. It says a lot about the orc roster when a cost-efficient piece like a troll can be safely left off the roster. Since I didn't have a troll, there was no need for a goblin.

2) I started my BOBs block/guard and haven't regretted it. Four mighty blow is plenty bashy, and even without mighty blow the BOBs chip in with a few of their own. DO feed touchdowns to your BOBs until they get block. It's not that hard, and pays off huge.

3) Blitzers are awesome.

4) I started without a thrower, but picked one up pretty quickly. He doesn't play defense.
