In our second year of our local league we are applying NTTB to have more diversity in races joining the league.
I just bought a vampire team, so I should test it out, right?
Now I'm a little in a dilemma about how many Vamps to start the team with considering they eat through TRR with no basic skills and Bloodlust needs to be managed as well. Luckily Thick Skull helps with keeping some Thralls longer on the pitch as local blood bank. So I do feel a little more comfortable with starting with only 11 players.
My first idea is to start with:
3 Vamps, 8 Thralls, 4 TRR and 7 FF
The rational is here that Vamps really need skills asap to be able to afford adding more Vamps. So starting with less vamps then TRR seems fine and 7FF should pretty much secure + FAME in the first 4 games. Which most likely will help to get more TRR to make your rookies perform something resembling to Blood Bowl.
It of course also generates extra cash inflow and can't die by more that 1 point a game

The downside of this build is that you only start with 3 vamps and if one get's injured during the game, just two vampires aren't as threatening anymore.
So my question is: is + FAME and cash worth more than starting with an extra vampire. At the risk that more Vampire will suck more Thralls dry and will get massively outnumbered anyways and still get battered.
The biggest strength of Vampire teams are he Vampires of course, so shouldn't you maximise these after TRR's?
