FF7. In LRB5. Really??

Personally I'd kill some FF, upgrade a Linerat to a Stormvermin, and bank some money towards an Rat Ogre/Replacments.

FF7, good chance of +2 fame.

chance of +2 fame at the expense of a vermin ........... no thanks

ff7 isn't the same as a vermin, a linerat yes, vermin no.

knock the FF down to 3 and change a Linerat into a SV. You still have a decent to good chanced to get +1 fame.

1M Amazons

This team took a very close second place in a three game tournament two weeks ago.

1 Thrower 70K
4 Blitzers 360K
7 Linewomen 350K
4 Re-rolls 200K
2 Fan Factor 20K

If I was to use them in a league, though, I personally would not change a thing. The ability to have 4 blodgers from the starting blocks is priceless. Just make sure that an apothecary is your first purchase.

Wood Elves
2 Wardancers
2 Throwers
1 Catcher
7 Linemen
1 Re-Roll
FF2
One Re-Roll is enough if you're good and careful. The Catcher's extra MA and starting Dodge skill will add half a touchdown a game, and that's worth all the FAME in the world. Between the Throwers and the Catcher, you'll end up getting another re-roll, which is worth half an RRC per game on its own. Besides, with two Throwers, you can give one Leader after just a few matches (even if the first one goes for Sure Hands). A Treeman is a perfectly worthwhile substitute for a couple of positionals (not Wardancers). Some would go with a second RR instead; that's not a bad idea, either, but it's not for me.

For Orcs:
4x Blitzer
4x Black Orc
2x Thrower
2x Lineman
2x Re-Roll
FF0
Note the twelfth guy: you win with Orcs by ending up with more guys on the field. With 4 Blitzers, 2 Sure Hands/Pass guys and the ability to eat the clock, re-rolls aren't all that important. Remember that, while you won't take a lot of damage, you'll take most of your casualties on your most expensive players (Black Orcs), so if you take an Apo, you will save yourself some money over time.

Ok, so what about:

4 Catchers
1 Thrower
1 Blitzer
5 Line Elfs
2 RR
[5 FF]

Not bad. Or you could start with 2 Blitzers, 3 Catchers and 6 Line-Elves; either way works. I like having 2 guys with Block, myself, but I totally see the extra MA.

For my Pro Elves at 100 I usually go:
3x Catcher
2x Thrower
2x Blitzer
4x Line-Elf
2x Re-Roll

I know a lot of people don't like taking elf positionals, but I like the extra MA and skills on the Catchers and Blitzers; I don't think Throwers are so hot, but I'd rather start with a Thrower than with a Line-Elf and +1 FF or an AC or CL. I could totally see only starting with 1 Thrower and 2 Catchers and starting with 3 RRs, but that's not how I do it.

A very successful team for me, and one I'll use again when we restart with fresh teams, Necromantic:

5x Zombies
2x Flesh Golems
2x Wights
2x Werewolves
2x Rerolls
2x Fan Factor

Save for a third reroll and use journeyman zombies if the going gets unexpectedly rough.... Setup your wolves 2 squares from the sidelines with a Flesh Golem one square to the inside of the field.... This should prevent any 3 St player from getting better than a 1d blitz on your wolves.... One Zombie should get Kick as soon as possible, while the rest get Block and Dauntless to deal with 4&5 St opponents... Guard on doubles....

5x Zombies
2x Ghouls
2x Wights
2x Werewolves
3x Rerolls
3x (FF/AC/CL)

This lineup increases speed at the cost of muscle.... Ghouls set back for the kickoff, while Weres and Wights pair forward to blitz out the opposition and possibly receive the handoff.... At least one Ghoul should go Sure Hands, Kick Off Return and Block.... The other: Block, Catch and Sidestep.... This way you could move the ball up to 3/4 of the field by way of a Sure Hands Ghoul handing off/short passing to a Catch Ghoul who hands off to a Werewolf (if absolutely necessary).... Stick with higher odds plays and keep reroll opportunities to a minimum.... Score quickly with this lineup and use your Kick Zombie to place the ball for Were/Wight blitz turnovers....

Edited 1-11-08 to include alternative lineup and comments....
