Snoting Starting Rosters Overview
Snotling teams have a lot of cheap players, most of which are both weak and fragile. Having a lot of them is really a must, thankfully that’s really easy to acheive!

With this you have fifteen players which leaves a slot to hire a Star Player from inducements against higher value teams. Against other brand new teams you should usually also be 100k under their value which is enough to get a couple of bribes via inducements. Use your cheap disposable players to do some gang fouling to try and keep your numbers advantage. You could technically fit in another reroll, though that could make the difference between getting two, one or even zero bribes.
Snotling Starting Rosters Summary
At first glance Snotling teams look like they will have many options on how to create a starting roster. Whilst that is technically true, it is possible to just take everything and still likely have a low enough team value to benefit from inducements.
Get some bribes and use them either for gang fouling or to get your Pump Wagons back after being sent off. The Pump Wagons are probably the better things worth saving and any Snotling that gets sent off isn’t really going to be much of a miss.
You don’t seem to account for Low Cost Linemen in calculating TV.
You are correct, I completely forgot about that new rule when writing the article. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll update it eventually when I’ve got some time to do so…
Another option you have with Snotlings is to try to undervalue your team so that you can regularly induce star players (like Halflings often do).
Snotling teams have been known to bring in Morg n’Thorg, the Black Gobbo and Hakflem Skuttlespike as regulars.
