Basically is it worth throwing spp in the form of an MVP or td to your linos to get dirty player (and a cost of 20k) to use to foul? |

Generally yes, but you should specify the race, the lower the cost of the lineman is, the better value Dirty Player has because makes the trade fouler-victim more advantageous, TV-wise.
Linemen costing 50,000 or less with G access are ideal Dirty Player foulers, the cheaper they are, the better. |

I typically play humans, orcs, undead, and zons. I don't think it is worth it on orcs cause av 9 and I only carry 11-12 orcs. Not sure if it is worth taking over block or wrestle on zons. |

All those races can benefit from 1-2 Dirty Players, especially once they are developed and with a bench (because chances are they will face developed opponent players, therefore fouling could remove lot of TV from the pitch, improving the cost-effect ratio), but if the team is in the early stages of development I would give priority to core skills like Block or Wrestle, and I'd try to have a bench to be free to foul without being automatically outnumbered if the fouler is ejected. |

Generally I would say it is worth taking on those teams. As long as the player only has the one skill. If you manage to get an auto armour break on a more expensive spp player its seriously worth the value for the + to injury roll. |

it's generally not worth spending MVP on linemen to get dirty player... you'll typically have more important things to do with it, at least until your team is huge |

Yes, you should try to skill up the positionals first. |

I tend to not foul: I believe the cost of having a player sent off 1 out of 3 times is too high. But there are exceptions I think: T8 with plenty reserves, fragile start players that are prone, and if your playing gobbo's / flings / ogres then it becomes more attractive. |

Though T8 may also be the most useless time to foul as even a gang DP foul can frequently be stun or KO. |

If the opponent doesn't have a bench, and you do, why not T8 fouling? (unless you are trying to 1TTD or to earn 1 SPP with a pass). |

Having 4 of them is even more worth it. I can reasonably expect to foul 10+ times a game, and at least one or 2 will remove something worth far more TV than my zombies.
That said, if you're going to commit to a foul game, I find it better to go all in and build a team that can support the loss of a dirty player who gets sent off. To do that, you either need some heavily skilled positionals, or a deep bench. |

Try to limit your fouling to th first 16 turns. unless the game goes to overtime, then you should foul a few more times |

A leaping, dirty player troll is the way to do it, if you want to be really classy |
