I like that team Tom.
Using Pink Horror's tean analysing programe it shows that this team is rateed near the bottom of the list of teams (official teams).
It has a power rating of 63 (ability to score TD and inflict damage) which is only better than Amazons (61.6) Goblins (49.9) and Halflings (43.6)
It has the lowest value rating (how much Power you get for your team's money and how much of a discount you get per player) of 36.4
The third lowest potential (Potential is how much more you can expect a team to improve) abouve Goblins and Halflings.
It does do well in the running stakes (Running is used both in the sense of a running back and a receiver) with a rating of 69.65 which is 5th best beaten by Wood Elves, High Elves, Dark Elves and Skaven.
It is mid table in the throwing stakes and just 5 off the bottom in the blocking stakes.
So all in all a difficult team to do well with in a league situation. They are a very quick team that will score lots of TD but are unlikley to do much damage and will suffer a good deal of casualties. I would say this is a good team. Not over powered in any way, but strong enough to be able to win.
By the way, I tested the other 2 teams proposed (my pack team and Tom's origional suggestion) and both proved to be very weak - roughly as powerful as the Goblin team, with the pack team in many cases being weaker than Goblins.
