You can either download the latest datasets manually, or clone the entire repo to your local drive, depending on your expertise and preferences. Since the previous blog post on FUMBBL data, I decided to make a separate Github repository fumbbl_datasets that contains the Python code to fetch and construct the FUMBBL datasets. So lets dive in the world of Blood Bowl stats nerdery. I took inspiration from various sources, detailed at the end of this post. The idea is to make Blood Bowl data analysis (also know as Nufflytics, a term coined by Blood Bowler “Schlice” in reference to Nuffle, the god of Blood Bowl) easier and more accessible to others.

The idea of this blog post is to showcase some possible analyses that can be done on the FUMBBL match data I’ve compiled. There exists a lively tournament scene, with thousands of matches played each year. On tournaments, this gives rise to various compensation schemes to make all teams “viable” for competition. Interestingly, the various teams (there are over 20 different ones) require different play styles, and not all team races are equally strong. Blood bowl is a game of Fantasy Football, where fantasy team races (think “Orcs”, or “Elves”) are pitted against each other. This blogpost is about Blood Bowl, a strategic boardgame invented in the late 80’s, that I finally started playing last year. More specifically, as a player holding the ball. The only real position a Snotling can play (besides martyr or sacrificial lamb) is as the ball.

For a regular sized Human, Snotlings range from the bottom of the shin to the top of the shin. Ī Snotling's size is what keeps them from being viable players.

Snotlings are notorious for being the worst Blood Bowl players that Nuffle could have envisioned, and after decades of letting down other races from other teams, only the Ogres do not mind fielding them and continue to do so, since they can throw Snotlings farther than Goblins. Snotlings have been equated to immature and mean five-year old hooligans who love Blood Bowl so much, they are willing to die for their team- whether as a player or fan. Snotlings are tiny, humanoid creatures as well as the smallest and arguably the most dull-witted of the Greenskin races. Snotling Player, art by Pete Knifton, 1989
