Well, you can only buy fan factor up to 9 at team creation. Other than that, it looks okay. I might go with a 3rd reroll over the apothecary, but that's only because Norse have such problems picking up the ball. If you're going to play in a bashy league, then the apoth is a good call.

Hello and welcome to TBB.

You can find lots of suggestions on teams and tactics in the team and tacticsdevelopment department. Nice thing is that people agree and disagree all the time with you.

Mostly you won't know if you made a good choice until after your first two or three matches! If you get hurt badly, you should have gotten the apo. If you only roll ones you should have gotten the RR etc..

I never played Norse so I can't help you there. You could try a search. A lot of good has come from a search.

Good Luck to you! :smoking:

Here is my advise, Norse are sissies. Start well enough but still sissies. Start an Undead team while you can, they might be gone soon.

In this case it means, start an undead team that you can probably retire in a month or two. :( Really want to do that? :smoking:

Nice starting roster, though as Skummy said, you can only have upto FF 9 on a staring team. And as he also said, drop the extra FF and the Apo and take a 3rd RR. You'll need it. believe me. :lol:

I like that line upmyself...but not being a "high FF" type I'd prefer the apoth, 3 rerolls and 4FF.

Just started my team this way:

2 Blitzers
2 Catchers
1 Thrower
6 Linemen
1 Apothecary
3 RRs
8 FF

imo, 3 RRs is a must for AG3 teams and an apo is a must with AV7 players on pitch only (only use on deaths or late SIs). this way you'll be a bit short of blitzers but they come quickly as you can spend all cash on players early.

I earned 90k in my first game, so after one game i have 3Blitzers :)

Regarding the Mino, i'd always go for an Ogre on Norse teams. Although it might look boring, the Ogre gives you what the Norse team misses the most, a hard as a rock line player. Because of WA you can't really use the mino on the line and with only AV8 he's pretty vulnerable as well. That means you'll put the mino into the backfield and still have 3 players on the line that drop out quickly because of AV7.

I suggest 3 RR and an APO as they are very fragile.
I also like to start with as many blitzers as possible since its the best players they have.
But thats just what i like and may not be so smart for others.

@ Scotty

where is the quote from?

Regarding the mino.
Sure, he'll mess you up once in a while, but he is sure fun sometimes 8) And then you are Norse, right? Get a beer and kick some more butt.
Depends on what you want.
