Fumbbl Cup VII is well under way, with some shock results already in the books!
But who do people think will take home the main prize and the love and adoration of all us other fumbblers?!
Is the team your supporting good enough to go all they way?
Or are they gonna end up a bloody and mangled mess after playing some monster Orc team?!
Who are your favourites? Which coaches are displaying the best Fumbbl Cup spirit?
I have a soft spot for the Nandorins and hope they can go far again!

I'm going to go with the Dark Judges, primarily as they are a DMU team. The are also already in the 3rd round, looking strong and with plenty of cash. |

Im gonna go with a complete outsider as my guess on the FC winner. You probably haven't heard of them, but it's a dwarf team called the Competitive Eaters. Pretty unknown team with an outsider coach, but who knows?
I am actually a fan of the Eaters *dodging the rocks*, but my heart belongs to the Lone Stars. Good team, good coach. Could go far. |

I think Overdose will win, if not then Linfalass or Piggie
I do hope those Kaos will win though |

my 3 options are: - Eaters
- Best coaches (he has a nice player)
- Hidden Agenda
They all have nice team, nice coach and tons of money for stars and wizzars.
Off course the whitekillers are here. |

edit: politeia looks pretty good to me if they don´t get screwed up by handicaps |

Ok, sicne there still are very many participants left in this here fumbblcup thingy ive decided to approach the problem in subsets of 16 teams and predict who goes on to the 5th round from each of these subsets.
subset 1:
Still in competition:
I Verdi, i Brutti e i Cattivi! (262 / 225)(Chaos Dwarf)
Pros: Lots of cash 3 dps and aneato minotaur.
Negs: some annoying niggles on key players, not enough mb and guard to stand up to the heavier hitters of the tournament.
Broiler (245 / 219)(orc)
Pros: Good BO's, very respectable troll
Cons: For the FC a pretty unremarkable team.
Burnit Boys (234 / 215) (chaos dwarf)
Pros: A buckload of strengthincreases, again a very nice big guy.
Cons: Only 2 MB and a dirty player and rather low cash
Beamer Themes (236 / 220) (dark elf)
Pros: Quite a bunch of guarders. A healthy team and lots of cash.
Cons: Losing Dresden took away their only real superstar and left them with underdevloped blitzers.
Atomic Cheese (229 / 176) (skaven)
Pros: ummm.. The rats have absolutely nothing to loose and can go into the next game with all the pressure on their opponents shoulders
Cons: Well the team is in ruins basically.
Conclusion: Beamer Themes are, even though loosing dresden prolly means they won't make it all the way, my pick for the first subset. They have an "easy" first game against the decimated skaven and can then go on to take on a hopefully slightly maimed bashy side in the fourth round. Neither the orcs or the chaosdwarves that the themes might end up against has the firepower to stand up to a healthy dark elf team and a wizard.
more to come! |

Subset 2
Still in competition:
Growing Falammability (258 / 220) (khemri)
Pros: cash = Ramtut = good, nice mummies, and an ag 4 thro-ra + the usual assortment of dps
Cons: Possibly 3 dps wont be enough, and some more skilled skeletons wouldnt hurt.
Smack this team (232 / 194) (khemri)
Pros: ST 7 mummy , and enough cash for ram tut till they cant be bothered anymore.
Cons: Has a mummy mng, big no no for khemris
Alternative Comedians (251 / 226) (high elf)
Pros: 14 fairly healthy elfs and a wizard is not to be underestimated.
Cons: But as you may have noticed from the pros section nothing much to say about them, a fairly vanilla team.
AKS's Mean Uns (291 / 238) (orc)
Pros: About as brutal as orc teams come, no less than 4 dps, plenty of MB and guard, and the amazing blitzer Azhug + a healthy amount of cash. I realy like AKS's Mean Uns
Cons: Azhug is niggled. No other real weaknesses.
Hidden Agenda (269 / 227) (orc)
Pros: Very solid orc team with soem punishing power and a lot of cash for stars. Plus they are already in the fourth round, just one game to go.
Cons: But honsetly they seem a little like AKS's Mean Uns "light"
Conclusion: Emphasy's Hidden Agenda has gotten themselvs to the fourth round inv ery good shape and since their biggest threat AKS's Mean Uns will have to walk through atleast one khemri team to get there my guess is that they wont be quite as healthy when they get there. So my money is on Hidden Agenda, but cas dice are fickel thigns and should AKS's and The Agenda play a game right now on full strength I'd go with the Mean Uns. Still in the end, Hidden Agenda to proceed. |

Nice write-up, Gatts, good job. (Grumble, if da Teef Rippas were still in this subset, you'd pick them. Now I only have the dubious honur of killing Dresden, reducing Beamer Themes' chances. They are gaining a whole lot of ELF points here btw. Go ELF! ) |
