In fact, despite the obvious necessity of Goal 2, this is one of the easiest to get wrong, especially when you need to score in two or three turns. There certainly are many ways to optimise LOS blocking depending on who you and your opponents are, but they are only steps toward Goal 2. “But,” I hear you cry, “You’ve forgotten a goal: kill all mens on the LOS!” Well, heretical as it may be, that is an optional goal. Ensure that you have planned for the risk of a Blitz or other kick-off event, or made a decision that you will prioritise one of the previous goals over mitigating this.Ensure that you have setup in such a way that you can reasonably score a touchdown in however many turns remain.Ensure that you have a potential ball-carrier who is likely to be in a position to pick up the ball.Your offensive setups have only three goals to achieve: Let’s start with a simple one: pre-planned offensive setups of any kind are totally worthless, with one exception, which is for one-turn touchdowns, which we’ll look at in more detail later. In this article I am going to explain some principles that should guide your setups instead, so that you can determine what is best for you and your team depending on the game state. I very often see players agonising over their setup positioning and know that there is really no need for it. Moreover, quite often the small margins and value of specific placement on kick-off are really not that important. Any kind of rigid or dogmatic approach to how you should set up your team is a waste of time it will either not be relevant in the moment, or it will not be possible. Kick-offs in particular are uniquely susceptible to the rolls on the Kick-off and Weather tables, and a good number of these either allow one coach to reposition, or force the removal or inaction of players.
