I'm conscious I've meandered in after 6 months, shooting my mouth off, but fuck it.
I have to say, they've done a better job that I had expected. Yes, it's broken if you let it run free, but keep a firm grip as one might the shaft of your cock as you thrust it into a tramp's face, and it's workable. They've actually made a bit of an effort.
If people can explain or justify their teams, and don't take the piss, then perhaps the best option is to make people post their proposed roster and justify it?
I reckon you'd need a max number of alternative race players at any one time (say 4-5) a bit like the old rules about foreigners playing in the premiership.
For example, I just did a human team, with 4 flings and a tree. No Ogre. Can't see anything wrong with that, it's just fun and different.
A wood elf team without catchers and using flings would be amusing.
Where you mix up tier 1 teams, it gets trickier.
Common sense needs applied for big guys, but you could have a base rule of "mixed race teams must be a primary race (humans) and all other tier 1 players from other races must be linemen or lineman equivalent?"
Only base woodies can have dancers for example.
It's not inflexible though if you can provide amusing fluff and the team isn't clearly OTT. A Lizzie team with one Black Orc Blocker they call "Cervantes" with some conquistador backstory is fun. Yeah, a team of BOB and lizards etc would be fucking stupid.
Also, despite the game some races just fucking hate each other. So if some cunt tried to argue that his woody - dwarf hybrid is because of the "willowtits pact" then he can fuck off. These are banned unless your fluff reason is amazing or the coach is going to cripple himself from the outset (maybe a team of dwarf blockers and elf linemen only, and he agrees to never share the ball between them!).
It looks like you can have a team entirely of snots and gobbos. Now who wouldn't want to play that!
A team of 2 mummies, a vamp, 3 thralls and skeles would be tough, but the flaws in vamps and limited thralls would make it quite challenging - if the fluff was right. I'd expect the Vamp to have an Egyptian name for example.
Anyway, I can see purists shitting themselves, but fuck me with some creativity and a sense of humour, you could make some funny teams that I doubt would break the game - and if they start too, after all we can't predict everything, then you agree when creating said team that if your peers tell you to retire as it's unfair, then you retire it (or change it to make it more fair).
I love it.
