On the back of a well received Deadzone pledge calculator, I set my sights on a new project. Having looked around, I never quite found an excel roster creator that I liked enough that a) worked and b) wasn’t clunky and full of bugs. So the answer was simple, don’t be lazy and create your own. So I did. Using the arosbb Bloodbowl template as an inspiration I decided to create my own version for dreadball.
Before you download, why not check out this quick tutorial post
Version 0.7 –Dreadball-Roster-v0.7
- Made slight modification to coaches so you can specify which coach you have purchased. Added 3 currently released public playtest stats for Asterians, Teratons & Nameless
Version 0.8 – dreadball-roster-v0.8
- Added Zees
Version 0.9 – dreadball-roster-v0.9
- Added user request for custom colours, there is now a drop down list with a selection of colours to change the borders to and subsequent text as well
Version 1.0 – dreadball-roster-v1.0
- Apologies for such a quick update after the last but version 1 now allows users to add their own logo. Simply insert it into the Team logo sheet, resize and move into the bordered box to show on the roster 🙂
Version 1.1 – dreadball-roster-v1.1
- Added The limited edition Gabe model stats, amended the MVP names to show positions (In brackets), added current Season 1 & 2 MVPs to the Season 3 Beta teams and added new columns to track 1 & 2 point scores as well as calculating total points scored by each.
Version 1.2 – dreadball-roster-v1.2
- Big Update time:
- Fixed issue where only the top player had total strikes recorded
- Added Season 3 MVPs and Big Guys
- Added Abilities, Teams, MVPs Overview Tab
- Added Results Tracker Tab. (May not work as expected with older versions of excel)
Version 1.3 – dreadball-roster-v1.3
- Fixed issue where win percentage was not being calculated on the results tracker
- Added 4 new MVPs from the Azure Forest rulespack (A’Teo Adysi, The Veteran, Thunder Chris & Drake)
- Added the option to remove a player from the roster at the click of a button. This option deletes the player entirely and their records from the roster – Note this option adds Macros into the spreadsheet.
- Added the ability to select whether MVPs are used to calculate team values. (Feature requested by some league commissioners)
Version 1.4 – dreadball-roster-v1.4
- Added Season 4 Teams and MVP’s
- Added ability to track 1 & 2 turn injuries
- Position # can now be changed for each player for custom numbering
Version 1.5 – dreadball-roster-v1.5
- Added Season 5 and 6 Teams and MVP’s (minus Mutants and Mechanites)
- Fixed pricing error on Martians due to Mantic print error
If you spot anything wrong, or wish to request a feature then please let me know 🙂

This is amazing and thank you for taking the time to do it! My request would be to have the ability to insert a team logo in the bottom left of the table – and if possible to change the colour of the roster – as I’d love to match them into my team!
I shall see what I can do. Short of unlocking the whole think allowing people to break it lol
Colour customisation options have been added. Still working on the ability to add an image whilst the spreadsheet is locked but the colour options will go up in version 0.9 shortly 🙂
Is there a way to get this to work on my ipad? I’ve tried opening it with a spread sheet app, but it doesn’t allow me to select individual cells?
What app are you using? I am trying to make one compatible with an iPad as the drop downs don’t function correctly but I am struggling to get it to work another Way with my limited excel knowledge.

Really like what youve done with this. Especially handy for league progression.
Just another small suggestion, any chance you can add a P:W:L:D table to track the team progression as a whole?
I’m sure I can pull something together in the next update 🙂
Is something along the lines of individual game records and then an overall tracker along the lines of what you were thinking?
I was thinking of just a simple w:l:d count somewhere on the page but if youve got a better idea I’ll look forward to seeing if.
Great update, however it looks like the total points scored formula is only active for the first player.
Hahahahaha I am such a dumb-ass 🙂
I’ll get that corrected and out in the next update
Cheers Liam – I think that most of the players in out TVT League are using your roster sheet now,
Nice 🙂 do you have a link to your league and ill add it to my links section
I just noticed that too…sorry for not mentioning earlier. Thanks for the help man!
Thanks a lot!
Hey Liam! Really loving the roster! Way beyond anything I can do in excel! 1 thing I’m wondering- when a team has MVPs its adding their cost to team ranking (value) Is there a way to stop this as I keep giving people incorrect rankings and messing up my table!
Hey mate, there is now an option in 1.3 to ignore MVPs in the team values. Hope this helps.
Love the roster, I’ve been promoting it to our league so that it’s easy to keep track of key items. Thanks again!
Thanks 🙂 Glad you like it
I had a question about the Results Tracker section. It has a section for strikes. The game only has one score at the end, so I would have guessed the number would go on the side that won. But that does not register the match results. So, then it makes sense to put in the total points I scored versus the total points my opponent scores. That registers the match result now, but it tells me I cannot put in a score higher than 7.
That would make sense if the first way of recording the score was used, but you need to record both sides results. What do I do if I won the game with the score on the 6 on my side, but my opponent actually scored 5 points along the way? I won by six, but that doesn’t mean I only scored 6 total. I guess I am just missing how to fill that section out. Thanks.
Its designed at the moment so that if you win by 6 you enter 6 – 0 it’s not the best and I keep meaning to go back and change it
Would there be a way to “Retire” players who have “succumb to their injury’s” during a game?
I recently lost two jacks to a nasty game against some orks and have no real way to remove them from the roster or simply mark them as dead.
I’ve not built a simple 1 click solution yet but you can remove a player by deleting their stats and selecting the top blank option on the drop down
Which is what I did so far
Added a new option in version 1.3 Hope this makes it easier
Looks great. Other option I thought of if folks don’t like the macro would be to have a listing of Deceased under the position drop down that could than wipe out the row but show the player was once on the team. Simular to how you had us just blank the position out.
This is great – I have one for each of my 4 teams.
There is a bug in the Wins formula on the results sheet, LS, T, L all calculate % correctly but W only shows 0% – as Marauders are my main team I never get a landslide but do manage the occasional win.
This has now been fixed in version 1.3 Thanks for pointing it out
I’m not sure if this is by design or not. In the tracking sheet all players start at level 0 where the book shows all players start at level one Page 57 of the core rule book
it only causes minor confusion for new players like myself when you get excited about your players leveling.
What software are you using? I can see that Rank 1 is the default on roster tab
I’m seeing that it in mine as well, its not behaving as we expected I will research it more, sorry to bother you.
No worries. If you find anything playing silly buggers just let me know 🙂
I found the problem and it was a user issue. Though if you can add logic so that abilities can’t be added before each rank level that would be great for stupid users like myself.
A guard was promoted to Keeper, and his armor value went from 4 to 3. When one of my strikers gained a skill improvement you have the sheet changing the field color to signify the change, which also makes it very easy to spot when playing.
if the armor field could follow the same logic when the guard was promoted to keeper that would be awesome.
Another feature request.
Some of us use non standard numbering on the physical mini’s that don’t often line up to the players numerical position on the roster. Could we have an extra column added between name and roster number to allow free form text entry of the players “jersey” number?
Worked great for my team in the league, cheers mate.
A request if possible – is there any way we can track more than 1 team on a sheet, and be able to have a separate logo for each? I’d like to be able to keep all the league teams on 1 sheet, rather than scattered all over the place, so it could track highest Strikes, highest injuries etc (a bit like the old Halfling Chef excel sheet for Blood Bowl).
No worries if you can though.
Hi Mate,
I am looking into it at the moment. I am trying to sort out to track up to 12 teams, with a front sheet for Standings and pulling out the players with most kills, 4 pointers highest points scorer etc
Hi,
I currently run a dreadball league, and am looking to create a spreadsheet for managing this. Do you have any issues with me using this as a starting point?
By all means, go for it. If you look in the dreadball fanatics group on Facebook, someone has already done one for league play 🙂
Thanks, I just wanted to make sure you were cool with it. I’ve kinda set myself the challenge now!
Love it mate. everything works solid on my end. My request would be to add two columns to keep track of the guards and jacks 1-2 turn injuries. that is when a guard or jack slams an opposing player to put them in the sin bin 1 or 2 locations. I just love the statistics of the game and would like to keep track of those hits as well. Makes Jacks look a bit more useful to the team lol.
you have the “Midgard Delvers Forge Fathers” as move 5 are they not move 4?,
Also any chance of adding the Convict team?
@Andrew:
1. Move 5 according to the S1 book.
2. Convicts haven’t had their Dreadball roster released yet, just the DBX one.
As per our FB conversation the Martian Jack cost should be altered to 8MC from 9MC (and yes the S4 rulebook IS wrong).
