I guess it is time to use the play creator, as we have such a brilliant tool.

I have a match vs a Norse team next monday. However, I cannot decide what kind of defence to build vs. them. All help appreciated. Any ideas what should I do?

Below the defence lineup I have been thinking so far. If you think some other formation would be better, you can just update the lineup and put the Play Creator link here :)

Defence Lineup 3-8

The Norse Team

01 Thrower; block, sure hands, hail mary pass
02 Blitzer; block, frenzy, jump up, +1 st, +1 ma
03 Blitzer; block, frenzy, jump up, guard, piling on
04 Blitzer; block, jump up, frenzy, guard
05 Blitzer; block, frenzy, jump up
06 Lineman; block, strip ball
07 Lineman; block, dirty player
08 Lineman; block

What about this:

Def 3-6-2

The midfield looks like too vulnerable. The line could be too easy for the Norse to break and then run thro the middle?

Actually that is really good so long as he doesn't get a quick snap.

IMO your best strategy against Norse is to force him into a bashing war - your higher Av ought to ensure success.

The midfield now has some guys with block on them. I think the midfield improved in my setup.
Also the slow Orc Blocker aren't on the sideline anymore - from where they can't reach anything. :wink:
