Talk Fantasy Football

Hi, we just started new league and I choosed Khemry, because I thought that they are weak and I wanted to test them.

League rules:

Each team starts at 100 TR. All players and star players(SP) are unique, so if one player bough SP, others can use him just if they buy it from him. Also players can be bought from one team to another (if they are legal for new team of course - also starting price is minimum). We are playing 10 rounds with top 8 coaches advancing to playoff.

Here is my team Cockerel:

4 mumies
1 Blitz - ra
6 skeletons
3 RR
8 FF

My first game - lizardmen:

I was worry about this match, because I cann't make 3 dice block with mumies against sauruses and skinks have dodge which make them preety safe, because I don't have block.

It was preety nice game I choosed to recieve (It was a mistake I think), but ball was kicked just into hands of my skeleton . He caught. At turn 6 I was able to score TD, but as opponent had 2 players KO-ed and another 2 skinks in the reserve (fans were gently to them) so I choosed to wait. One of my skeletons was crashed to dust by Saurus and my power was not strong enough (killed and 2 on reg.). But other mumies revenged it and Fractured leg to one saurus and aftter foul my another skelly Smashed knee to another one. Refery calls revenge legal so no penalty was called. At 8 turn with just 6 players on both sides I scored with skelly dodged and taking ball from the ground without reroll (I was lucky bastard I know). Next time I will play better.

2nd half was preety easy as I had 8 players and opponent 6 he placed LOS and Perfect defence ruined his plans. I took ball from the hands of his skink and on 6 extras together I moved 3 players to it (2 skelies and 1 mumie). When I crushed rest of his team he realized that it is right time to took ball from 2 tackle zones and score with skink in the 8th round.

So match ended 1:1 with 2 niglings and 1 MnM on opponent side. I recieved just one dead but unfortunatelly MWP was assigned in memoriam (I hate when this happens). So I got just 7 SPP from this match and 20k cash after replacing dead skeleton. 2 casualities were caused by same mumie, so she can gain new level after next match I hope .

Next match I play against humas.

Why do you call this topic Travelers new league with Khemry team?

You are not traveller...

Nope. Traveller spells better . Still a nice read though.

Maybe he missed the part where the poster of the Ogre League thread is named Traveller, and thought it was just a title to give threads about teams. His english is lacking at best, an honest mistake

Nice to hear everything is as it should be, Khemri destroying teams and Skinks scoring in turn 8 against all odds.

Just wanna tell, i will not playing Khemri...ehm, quite sure, on a second tought, i will never play Khemri. These original Khemri BB skeletons are a pain in the a$$ to assemble !!!

Still i was a bit surprised to see this title of this tread, too :

Traveller

I assume he thought that "Traveller new league team xxx" was an expression used by everyone as there are some post called like taht .

Traveller you re an idol yet !!!

Traveller you re an idol yet !!!

wow.... Getting anything for being a idol ? Money ? fame ? More minis ? More time ? No ! Hm, worth to be a idol ?



Traveller

Yes I missed that Traveler was the name of the coach, I thought about all of you as travelers with me through my league. .

OK, here we go again.

Finally I found good names for my players (I named them with names of Goa'uld from Stargate TV series)

I decided to play a criple your opponent style. Because this league has 10 rounds and play off then I will try to cripple all opponets so they key players does not level enough.

Round 2

Opponent: Human TR 106 vs 103 me

Human coach was quite good but he didn't played for a year at least.
He made his team with 1 FF a big mistake I think. I was hoping for Get the ref

I must say that this game was easy in the end.
1st round opponent blocked my skelies and Smashed colar bone of my Heru-ur and my powers were not strong enough to regenerate him . He blitzed hole at my defense and tryed to score fast TD with catcher covered by blitzer. It was bad done, because my Blitz-ra stuned catcher covered ball and on 2nd round took it and go for my first TD in next 6 round (I waited untill round 8 as suggested).

My mumies took out most of humans killing 2 (1 saved by apo) during first half and KO 3 more which with my fouls left just 3 players on the pitch before my TD . I recieved just 1 more casuality (regenerated ) and 1 KO.

2nd half I recieved and My fans get the ref . The show started . With 9 players against 6 at the begining it was masacre. I Inflicted 3rd casuality and also some players went hurt so much from the fouls that they missed rest of the match. With much players KOed and injured I tryed to score as soon as it was possible withouot go for it. (on the round 6 ). Next Kick off and another Get the ref . Pity that it wasn't during first half .

So I won 2-0 and 3-2 on casualities with 1 player killed and 1 MnM on opponent side.

But the best thing just comes. 3 of my players got new level.
Anubis (mumie - 3 cas): 11 (AG), hmm I choosed to give him block.
Sokar (mumie - 1 cas + MVP): block (double 3 on aging)
Yu (blitz ra): 10 +MA yes I have MA 7 player now :):)

No player got older (those goa'uld healing abilities really work)

In the end I ussually move my mumies 5 sqares trying to make opponents angry because they tend not to fall . (with AV 9 I do not fear so much).

I'm thinking about PRO as secondary skill for them.

I bought new skeleton to take place of missing one, so with 50k cash I hope for 90k after 3rd round for 2nd blitz ra. My FF goes up and is 9 now .

I will stand against newbie coach next round I will try to spare life of his amazons, but with Ghoa'uld Lich priest never knows.

Human coach will stand Undead in the next round and I think his team will be crushed to dust .

Enjoy the travel.

Round 3

Opponent Amazon newbie coach (2nd match) TR: 113:112 (me)

This game was easy as I supposed. Opponet had just 10 players from the start, because of some MnM from previous match. I was nice to opponent helped him not to do some bad moves, with defence, ...

We played during very sunny day .

I choosed to kick at start. 1st kick off, I won briliant couching and got most important reroll. But the ball ended out of pitch Blitzer got it hoping for TD.

Blocking amazons were very soft and pushed 2 of my 3 skeletons.
During second turn blitzer got far to my field and just 1 skeleton was able to reach her with some extras. He just came to annoy a bit. But during 3rd round blitzer does not dodged . I took the ball.

During my 8th turn there were just 3 amazons lying on the field with 1 injured (missing this match) and the rest Ko-ed. skeleton needed 1 extra to score during 8th turn and ... 1 !! With last reroll I shout upon him: "Do it as I taught you!!" 6 . He scored and I was leading 1:0. 1st time I had scored 2 times in 1 half. He than fail very sunny roll (no wonder to that, he was very tired from TD ).

New half and Injury time. "Damn, I wanted to score 2 times this half, because I stand against 5 amazons". I scored and the weather changed. And I started to have bad luck. No casuality this half, surrounded ammazons just pushed around. I picked up the ball on the 3rd try with 2 rounds 1st block attacker down next !!.

After all I won 2:0 and 2:0 on casualities. As I wasn't able to take amazons down there wero no players left to foul because all were dancing with them in the middle of ring .

1 killed amazon were healed by doctor, so no lasting injury on amazon side. I won great prize of 90k and bought new Blitz-Ra.

Skeleton scoring TD got also MvP and is my most experienced player in the team. He rolled for MA so I took it. No FF up (2).

Next match I play against 2nd new coach in league (Human).

I want to ask how to develop my team next.

So far I have:
mumie, block, 6 SPP
mumie, 2 SPP
mumie, 2 SPP
mumie, 7 SPP
blitz- ra, + MA, 8 SPP
blitz -ra , 0 SPP
skeleton, +MA, 11 SPP
skeleton, 0 SPP
skeleton, 3 SPP
skeleton, -ST, 0 SPP
skeleton, 0 SPP
skeleton, 0 SPP
skeleton, 0 SPP

13 players, I have 50k cash and 3 RR with 8 rounds left untill play off.

We are allowed to buy start players for whole league (Ramut III for 350k for me)

With average roll of 3 for gp and 3 wins of next 8 games. I will have 380k after all 11 games.
So I can:
1) save money for Ramut
2) buy some players (maybe Tho Ra) and some reroll
3) buy reroll, replace injured skeletons and save money to hire ramut during play off for 80k/match
4) something other.

I'm trying to distribute SPP to all players so I expect to have 1 level with each and with Blitz- Ra and maybe some mummies having 2.

What skills should I choose for my players, esp mumies and blitz-ra ? I think about PRO for the mumies, sure hands for Blitz ra, 2 DP for skeletons and 3 block for skeletons. With guard for skeleton on double, frenzy for mumie and stand firm for Blitz ra.

I'm tempted for some other skills like strip ball, tackle, break tackle (mumie) and some others but I think about this at first.



Thanks for all.

I must admitt I never played Khemri, but I would suggest to have one player with sure hands. Best would be a blitzer asa sure hands helps against strip ball as well.
Next is get kick for one skelly. This is very usefull. You might consider to give one blitz ra brake tackle as he then has the chance to dodge to blitz the ball carrier.

Take tackle on the skellies that the elfs and amazons cannot use their dodge skill.

This were my thoughts. Just correct me if I'm wrong as I said I never played Khemry so far....

I'm a bit surprised your opponents are getting hit so much, especially the Amazons. I suspect your good fortunes may slow down a bit when the other players grow used to the idea that BB is not all about the blocks. Get ready to see more passing games and less one-on-one action later in the season.

Amazon coach played his 2nd game. But I'm trying to have 3dice block which gives reasonably high chance to knock down , esp if mumie have block and opponent doesn't. I consider my last game to have bad luck, because I ussually needed 8 dice block to knock down amazon player (2 mumies 3 dice and finally skeleton knock her down with 2 dice) .

I'm thinking mainly that if I were the Amazon coach with Dodge on every player, I'd risk the dodges to ensure that you only have one Blitz with your mummies to hit a player every turn.

I'd be avoiding the mummies like the plague and focusing on taking out your Blitz-Ra and skellies.

5 strength still needs 2 assists to get 3 dice on 1 3 ST Amazon.

There are a lot of numbers in that sentence.

In my experience, it took me a full season as a new player to realize that the game isn't really about blocking whenever possible, especially if you're playing a 'zon or Elf team. If your league members start clueing into the fact that they should just avoid your very, very SLOW mummies, even a 6-move team like the Amazons should be able to just dance around you and only make contact when they have to break a cage.

If he plays right on defence then the opponent can't dance through the brick wall then the mummies and blitz-ra just decimate the field. You have ST advantage use it to the fullest. There is one team you can't out bash from ST alone that is the Ogre, but they get no block, and you do so you can still hurt them.

If you have a lot of players in the league that use dodge guys then get some tackle. As for a double on a Blitz-Ra I might suggest Dodge to keep him alive, and to keep him mobile. If he does get dodge, then maybe try for Break Tackle. Sure hands always help too.

That is if he gets super developed other then that keep your team strong and Mighty. As for buying players let me think, You have 13 players. See how much money you earn next game, if you get a lot save it. keep saving up until you can get Ramtut III. He is a beast and a beat stick on this team. He would make your Khemri team more then a Force to be reckoned with. 5 Mummies are disgusting and nearly impossible to beat. (ramtut is a mummy too). Keep your ST 2 Skeleton make him a dirty player so he gets ejected fast and then he does his job and not die.

Trav, unless your FF is very low, then you ought to be getting another 10/20k per game - so maybe that makes Ramtut a more realistic prospect in the short time frame.
