I just happened to think, that my favourite team, 2 dodges 1 blitz, has had 3 rerolls since team creation. On an occasion there has been a leader, but usually he hasn't sticked to team for very long.
I run out of rerolls in a drive probably over 50% of my games. So that should be clear indicator to get more. But it is terrible TV bloat, horrible, what terror!
Does 2 dodges 1 blitz need 4th reroll?
---
And to make it more general topic, when is 4th reroll usually warranted? Is there some point when it is almost imperative to get more than 3?
General ideas? |

If you're running out of rerolls with your elven freaks, lets take a step back and ask why thats happening. Is this mostly on offensive drives or defensive drives? |

Definetly grab a reroll.
As for rerolls, depends on your style, but I like to have 4 from 1500-1600 tv up on elves team. |

Most elf teams can make do with 3 RR's at any TV. Pass less (at least w/ players that don't have Pass) - there's a cost to those spp. |

Usually when kicking, I'm trying to press ball hard (at first). That tends to eat up rerolls. And when receiving it usually goes fast into EZ (2-turn).

When receiving, thrower is the passer. But as my guys pop the ball loose, then one of the agility guys usually ends up passing it onwards. And pickups, leaps and those passes tend to be the ones eating up RRs.
Well, went for the 4th. Will report back if I feel difference while playing. |

I'd absolutely want 4 RR on any team at anything approaching that TV; maybe even anything approaching 4-500k below that TV! The way you manage your Elves, even more reason to do so, you can afford it if you aren't sacking the injuries.
I don't think this is even a question. Even in the era of tight TV management, re-rolls are pretty bloody handy things. |

I understand passing out for a defensive scoop-and-score, but looking at the completions on the team, there seem to be a LOT scattered around. Players #1, 4, & 5 all pass at least half the games they are in, on average - and thay're not the Thrower. Toss in all the other completions, and you must be stealing the ball quite a bit - about 2x/game (successfully*) besides the Thrower - which, if only from defensive steals, isn't reflected in your win/loss record.
(* And a 2+ Throw x a 2+ Catch is only ~2/3 reliable - which implies a 3rd throw/game that fails, or burns a RR?)
Haven't looked at the games, so if you say so, fine, maybe something else is going on, just sayin' what I'm seeing from the stats. |

I might of course be blinded by my own playstyle, but at least it is not... well, conscious of me to pass with those player in non-critical situations.
Well, unless farming for SPP and when I do, then usually I am not going to use rerolls for other things. (and that happens quite often) |

I've never seen a player that gets injured in such a consistent way. Is that some kind of Splutanica records... 6 -av's and no other blemishes? |
