Learned Helplessness
Retired [X] Undead

You might be looking at this team and thinking, "wow, that'd be an easy win for my team!" And you're right. They can barely move, they can't dodge, they can't handle the ball, and they are devoid of skills.
The only chance these guys have to pull off a victory is if they were to gain a man advantage on the pitch. But how could they do this... no mighty blow, no claw/rsc... and heck, there's barely any block skill on the team!?! Hmmm...

In psychology, a mental state in which a laboratory subject forced to bear aversive stimuli becomes unable or unwilling to avoid subsequent applications, even if they are “escapable,” presumably through having learned that situational control is generally out of one's hands. Experiments, first on dogs and later on humans, led some researchers, including Martin E.P. Seligman (b. 1942) in Helplessness (1975), to believe that chronic failure, depression, and similar conditions are forms of learned helplessness.

On the BloodBowl pitch, such a situation can be created when coaching a team comprised only of zombies and skellies.<hr>
