Played two games tonight with the following team.

4*Skinks
1*Krox
6*Saurus
ff 3
rr 2

First game was My lizzies against a norse team. 2-1 my favor in points 5-1 my favor in cas.

Second game was My Lizzies against a necro team. 5-0 Blowout in my favor for points 6-3 in my favor in cas.

I'm curious if this is a normal trend when playing lizzie teams. The coaches I player while not being experts at the game, They are very quick studies.

I have been using this standar setup on kick-off

S = Skink
Sa = Saurus
K = Kroxigor

---------------- LOS
SA K SA
S SA SA S
SA SA
S S

And the same with the skinks in the backfield spread out a bit more. All the tackle zones overlap but can anyone see any glaring problems with this setup?

I'm trying to put as many Opposing players as I can into the Injured and killer boxes and or knocked out box as I can per turn. Any helpful strategies? I read through some in the forums but none seem to be close to my stye of play.

I play a slightly different setup.

1 Krox
4 Saurus
6 Skink

1 FF (it wasnt designed as a league team at first, but it has risen since)
3 RR

They seem to be doing well, with 3 clear wins. I love playing fast though, hence having more skink on the team. I find the 4 saurus are enough with the Krox running around hitting certain points to clear a line.

I usually try to hold up the opponents harder hitters with the Saurus and just wait for a gap to come through. The stunty skill on the skinks seriously helps and I let em dash though. I always get two up the oppoenebts end no matter who has the ball, which usually means once the balls mine im sure to score ina turn (unless its right up my own end).

Seems to work. As for match setup, I dont have a certain tactic, alters as to what the oppoenent has on the pitch. But a fav defence is.

SA SA SA SA KR

SK SK SK SK SK SK

Its very simple but it works, and usually one side will get a hole it in and my kink dodge thorugh.

I actually started a PBEMBBL Lizard team to get are real handle on these guys. I found it them really strong to start with, I have a 7-2-1 record fairly easily without avoiding any 'challenges'.

What is getting me now is I am rolling nothing but skills, and without GEN skills the Skinks need some doubles. I actually put Kick on a Saurus fairly early- 1st one to get a 2nd skill. That has made tons of sense for me, as having all the Sauri on the line is probably not sound anyway and I have other things to get on the Skinks should I ever get doubles.
