Batfam All For The Game AU can you imagine
Coach Wayne making the most fucked up team in the whole exy league
And then they get their shit together and randomly become the objective best at the job (on the first time too!)
The Renee /Cass parallel are incredible
Goalkeeper Cass and defensive dealer Steph, Steph is nicknamed "the wildcard" because she's so unpredictable nobody knows what she's gonna do next not even her and yet somehow the team gets it?!!! She and Cass have a special move where Steph shoots backwards directly into the goal to free the terrain and Cass sends it right back at her no matter where she runs
Striker Dick doing acrobatics over the backliners to avoid getting bodyslammed, and the kinetic force of the flips and deny in the law of physics adds impetus to the hit of the racket and gets him mid-air scoring shots
Offensive dealer Jason cause he's aggressively versatile (he used to train as a striker in the little league, then stuff happened and he was taught to become a backliner for a while, and then when he came to join the Gotham Bats he went through a whole crisis arc to reinvent himself at first it's such a disaster)
Striker Duke striker Duke striker Duke it just makes sense this kid happened on an exy scuffle randomly as a kid and this guy thrice his size was bullying someone and Duke jumped in and the bully bet Duke couldn't score a goal so Duke said bet and immediately scored like in the pilot episode of a least nine different sports anime, and that's when Duke decided he wanted to be an exy striker
Backliner Tim fucks so hard this guy is holding the line no matter what happens he doesn't need to be built like a fridge he has technique and strategy and a whole lotta confidence (I'm also just a sucker for stories where characters get in positions that you wouldn't assume work with their build but it actually works really well because of their skills/hard-work/grit/general aura)
Damian who thought he had to prove himself as a striker (he trained for striker since the little league) and then reinvented himself as a defensive dealer
Barbara was goalie and then after she became disabled decided to stay and monitors training and collects information on the enemy teams to design deadly strategies. In no post-win interview does the designated speaker forget to credit Barbara's strategy for their win, partially because it's very true and partially out of fear of offending her (very valid).
Professional Exy player Kate Kane agrees to help coach the kids (she's a backliner)
Bruce is retired but he was a goalie
Harper is a backliner (and Cullen a cheerleader!!)
Luke Fox is a backliner
(also unlike in Aftg, while Bruce does find out one of the kids is his blood son he adopts all of them. Equal opportunity hoarder.)
