Very Early Season 8 Thread

He can be Pro Elves if Percy can't convince the Pacifists to take the field again...

But anyway, there's high elves and dark elves...

[lawastooshort]

I think Abom is fairly set on Goblins, and as a result la wants Skaven (aka "a proper team"). You'll have to check though, as on 10th Dec Abom said he wants Skaven again if he doesn't win the cup.

Yeah I'll just be Vampires again if I can't be Skaven.

[DaigaroOgami]

And there's Wood Elves for that matter.

Although I think Rav would vomit if he had to play Wardancers.

Throw the cup Gandalf? No, no, no! As my assistant coach, Yellow Tiger (a fan of the Empire "soccer" team Tottenhamburg Hotspurious since childhood) is quick to point out, for some teams Cups are their best chance of glory. After the Amazons did so well last year, there is everything to play for here!

I will wait for the chips to fall from everyone else and then see what's finally left.

(Dare one give the casually-maligned All-Snotling team a go?)

Yeah you are gaining a bit of a reputation as a cup specialist. On a different note, Spurs are doing well in the league this year. Who knows, stranger things have happened. like Leicester being top at Christmas.

(Dare one give the casually-maligned All-Snotling team a go?)

Ha, no, because Team Shrek are coming back. You really do have a gift of picking the wrong team

[Raveen]

Whilst it's academic, I wouldn't go all Snotling without the option of Brik Fa'arth and Grotty.

[DaigaroOgami]

Well, if there were all Snotling then it wouldn't really be an Ogre team would it? But, I would highly advise against it... unless you wanted a morale sapping season...

[Gandalf]

Having to field 5 of them is bad enough. Opponents correctly see them as walking SPP's.

[lawastooshort]

I have gone out of the cup in the first round three cups in a row I believe.

[Raveen]

If anyone has a reputation as a cup specialist it should surely be me? When I'm playing semi-proper teams at least

And didn't we work out that a fallen snotling has a greater than 50% chance of leaving the pitch?

[DaigaroOgami]

Well La, I've gone out of the cup in the first round in every cup I've played in I think, so

Shut Up.

[Moose]

In going out of cups I actually haven't gone out in first round of one yet

[Idanmel]

I'm confused... Which teams are available?

[Abomination]

Put me down as 100% for goblins, now that I'm locked out of the rats anywho.

[Gandalf]

Here is a copy/paste of the last list amended with things that have happened since then.

Abom - Goblins - should be fun
Daigoro - not playing
Gandalf - Ogres, featuring an agility 4 ogre
Id3 - Necro - the most experienced team in RTBBL history come back for even more, though it's like a new team given how last season's injuries went
La - 80% likely to be Skaven, but possibly Vampires
Moose - Undead, continuing their development
NJ - Dark Elves / Orcs (a pre-existing team)
Raveen - Pro-Elves, they have had a few friendlies
Red Lion - Something that no-one else has taken. I think he's planning a new (ie non-Amazon) team.
