Also some teams, most notably Chaos, are highly competative in the long run, but have problems before they start skilling up. |

Next time around you should rather buy 2 more fan factor, instead of buying the cheerleaders. Fans affect more kick off results and influence the gate, which in turn affects monetary winnings. |

Look at the strategy guides for suggested starting rosters. Theyre in the help section. |

I saw the starting roster variations. And yeah, the cheerleaders should go... I normally like to have a few, but playing online vs with the minis at the table, cheerleaders do very little. With minis there is a FUN FACTOR with them.
There were a lot of suggested starting lineups. I think what I chose is pretty close to a few of them.
Thanks! |

You can get a real sense of how particular race v race matchups work out at different TS (Team Strength) bands by looking at the race rankings here:

Click on a particular race or a particular TS band to get an idea how successful certain races are v each other - quite often, there's a sort of Rock-Paper-Scissors effect going on. |

Thanks.
I've spectated a bit during some games. They move pretty quick! I've played a lot of games at the table. I even ran a league when the boxed set came out in 1997 or so... But its been a while.
Everything looks great. Seems very top notch. And in wandering the forums I've come across NO TROLLING!!!!! Which is a refreshing change.... |

Yeah that team looks fine save I'd go more FF if you want to use the team long term. Once you get the hang of It I'd recommend finding a league.Have a look around find one you like the theme of and can see yourself being in for a while and dive in! They're great fun and give your team a long term future . |

A.B.B.A. looks pretty neat. What is mean by "Fluff Based"?
Each league has its own season of scheduled play? |

Fluff based means you develop stories for your teams and players. They can be as detailed as you like (have a look at some) Most leagues are sceduled or open roun robin. In the latter you can play people in any order. |
