Should I keep a -AG Werewolf in a short league?

Post by Mootaz »

I have a Necromantic team an we are playing a short league (14 games + max 2 games playoffs) and already 9 games are played, so only 5-7 games left.
In the last game one of my Werewolves suffered -AG and I'm not sure if I should keep him.

Here's the team:

4 Zombies without skill (one only 1 SPP away from first skill)
1 Zombie with Block
1 Zombie with Block/Tackle

1 Ghoul with Block/Sure Hands
1 Ghoul with Block/Sidestep

1 Wight with Dodge
1 Wight with Tackle/Mighty Blow

1 Golem without skill
1 Golem with Guard

1 Wolf with Block/Tackle
1 Wolf with Block (the injured one) who has 10 SPP

My remaining opponents (in a yet undetermined order) are 1 Dwarf, 2 Skaven, 1 Darkelf, 1 Pro Elf

Is the injured Wolf worth keeping? I'm currently leading the league, so I will very probably be in the playoffs. I could use my injured Wolf as just a frenzy blocking machine, similar to how Norse have their Ulfs. Or I could buy another Wolf and try to skill him to his Block skill (I have 210k in the Bank, so no money problems). If I don't buy a new Wolf, I will have to play the next game with only 1 Wolf as the injured one is MNG.

Opinions?

You could keep him, but a smart enough coach will tag him with an insignificant player and keep his mobility down... knowing you probably won't dodge him out....

Sack and buy... get the new wolf up quickly with a couple of Tds if possible....

As above sack and buy a new one aim to get his first skill quickly if at all possible ( the next game) and you havent lost anything

5 games left is a lot.

having a dwarf team up next is a little tough to give up the block, but I think waiting a game is also a mistake.

If you wait, your Injured WW will definitely get the MVP
