Hi all

This is the team:

https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=839813

I'm very tempted to give him juggernaut (it will only work with strip ball later one) due to my crap luck (it's paid off very well in before with the other WD, that I will fire soon due to being -av)

The more conservative choice would be guard...

I presume +ma would be a waste?

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

MB. Elves with good surgical removal... it's much easier to play 7 vs 9 than 7 vs 11. And it'll get him up to Tackle faster, and then he'll be really dangerous on defense against other speed squads.

Best choices are MB or +MV in my opinion.

Speed kills. MA every time. Smile

Whoops. Somehow my brain just registered "double", not "double 5 on +AG Wardancer". I'm sorry, MB is the least-bad wrong answer. Take the Movement. Oops. Change one of those MB votes to MA in your mind when you look at the poll.

Agreed. Loner > Niggle.

And only hire them back when you have everything that you want, or if they earn the team MVP. Otherwise wait until you have all your RR and all your position players and enough money to hire them AND 100k+ left over to replace a lost Wardancer (you'll get winnings too, so you don't need the full 120k). If you keep taking damage that day will come later than sooner, but it will come, especially if you mostly risk the loners to spare the Dancers and other good players.

I guess fumbblrs value +MA on this kind of player more than you do Very Happy

I think +MA is the second best roll a +AG WD can get after +ST. If you really want to use the double, mighty blow over guard since he'll do most of your blitzing. Juggs could be interesting on a dedicated strip-baller but I'm not sure about it.

Otherwise you could ignore the 5+5 roll entirely and get him Strip Ball which is what this player is screaming for. Since you have to retire and replace the other one anyway as soon as you can afford it, having 2 strip ballers for a couple of games shouldn't be too much of a waste.

Skipping the +Ma would be a waste, though Very Happy

Niggles on unskilled linemen are just begging for trouble, fire them, play with loners, it's ok.

Your -av WD has a nice double in juggs, but I dunno that I'd keep him around too much longer either, as soon as you have cash I'd consider replacing him.

The other WD?

Usually I wouldn't take the MA on 5,5, but in this case because you have no catchers I guess you are sort of forced too.

I think MB is a pretty strong skill too, but meh, that's the guy who should be strip Sad
