goblin builds

MA7 is what you're paying for. MA7 is very nice, as it makes 2TTDs more reliable (very important given how critical failed knockouts are on a Stunty team and how much competition Babes get on your inducement menu). 3+ Leap is mostly a Tackle-beater, but also works well to get through when there is no gap, which happens a lot when your numbers go down. But you need an RR to go with a Pogo, so it's 190k cash (well, 150k, as you're probably replacing a dead Gob) and 90k net TV. I'd be tempted to buy a Pogo only after developing the team a little, especially after better teams start to give you massive inducements: once you've got your first Bribe, there's nothing really better for 100k-ish TV than Extra Training with a complementary +MA/Leap/VLL on a Goblin ... unless that 100k keeps you from getting Ripper.

DoubleSkulls - what's wrong with the Pogoer?

At 70k he doesn't fit in 1m without dropping a reroll or a 16th player (or the fanatic/troll) I'd envisage buying the apoth first and the pogo as the first replacement.

mabey when the league has been going on for a while i will hire the poogoer
but else he just takes up to much money

But now that the Pogoer is no longer a Secret Weapon, doesn't he make the ideal ball carrier on the team? Faster than anyone else, and with a 3+ Leap as well.

Totally agreed. I think the Pogoer is option #1 for carrying/scoring the ball. Throwing Gobbos is #2, and "Whoever is closest to the loose ball and can run away without getting killed" is a solid #3.

Wish they hadn't changed the pogoes. The old 50k bribes + the DP on the pogos (at 40k and 50k, a BARGAIN DP) made for ideal foulers. 1 Pogo for each half, no bribes for either one of them (unless foul doubles early in the half).. Let the ref get him when he fouls.. Then you got the bribes for the other SWs (Bomb/Fanatic or Fanatic/Fanatic).

I'd still consider the new pogo a pretty nice ballcarrier, the 3+ leap is much more reliable than a TTM.. The star pogo on the other hand, is now useless..
