Hi

I am new to this forum, so pls be kind Smile
Seems like this is the place to get advice from active coaches.
Anyway I am currently running a quite effective High Elf team in a private League. We are in between seasons so don't know future opponents. I have a team where all players have Dodge. Linemen, a guard, some wrestle and kick. Blitzers with one guard and the other tackle sidestep. My question concern the catchers and especially my "star".

Star catcher: Blodge. + MA and now a Dice roll of 6+4
Catcher 2: Dodge, +STR
Catcher 3: Wrodge, Mighty Blow
Cathcer 4: Wrodge.

My last skillup I took MB on Catcher 3 cause I needed the skill for the final match. But what do you Think I should choose for my star? +MA for a near 1-turner. Or a skill like leap, fend or sidestep. I feel I lack some strip ball and tackle, but I think those skills should be placed on my wrodge catchers.

MA10 is best thing you can get on any elf team.

Apart from ag6 pass block NoS OR POMB blitzer.

TAKE +MA

With HE taking stat ups too early can make their expenses spin a bit out of control.
They start with good stats and are desperatly needy for skills.

However, once you have a catcher blodged up, +ma is about the best thing you can get and you definatly should take it. Not only just for OT scoring but also because he will be a formidable blitzer and an excellent carrier.. you also would have to move him only 1 square into the opponent zone to be in scoring range which makes him an almost invisible threat.

Take the MA. OTTD scoring with MA 9 players requires 2 blocks where the first one has to be a push. With MA 10, you just need one and it can be anything but a Skull/Both Down. With that ST3 he could also represents a real defensive threat with that movement for kicks that go deep and aren't easily protected by the offense.

MA10 is really really awesome. Not just for OTTDs either. Don't hesitate.
As you said: strip, tackle, leap go on the wrestle guys (maybe with the +ST as well).

Take the +MA. I also have a Ma10 Blodge catcher in a league and he is great.

Thx for the quick responses. +MA it is. Glad I asked or I probably would have chosen fend. But I agree he would be good on defence as well with 2* +MA. I might join the fumble leagues. Will look into that. Smile

As a next skill on the MA10 catcher, should it be sprint and perhaps sure feet, or is that waste on a catcher like that.
