I would like to know how do you choose which Secret Weapons to set up for a Drive ?
What are the best choices on attack ? on defense ?
Does it depend on the race you're facing ?
Without Inducements/Bribes I would field only one Secret Weapon at a time. If you field too much they are gone for sure when a touchdown is scored or the half ends..And your other Goblins aren´t very tough. Having 11 players on the pitch get´s hard with SW on your roster.
On the defense I would field only a Secret Weapon if I´m not playing against an agility team which can score fast. If it´s bashy team I´d field a Ball and Chain. On the offense I would take the Chainsaw against agility teams and Ball and Chain against slow, bashy teams.

The problem with keeping Secrer Wapons back is if your opponent hits enough of your gobbos, you have to field your remaining SW for that 1 turn in turn 8 and then they are gone. So you basically have to start with all your SW on the pitch.
Basically on defense I plan to take the Ball and Chain and the Bombardier with Hail Mary Pass versus slow teams. Versus Agility teams, I'll probably won't take one SW for 2 turns (maybe the Chainsaw for a "one-shot" use on an opposing Catcher).
On offense, I prefer the Chainsaw and the Pogo. I'd take the Ball and Chain only versus slow teams.
