Talk Fantasy Football

I have 9 Linemann ( 3 with block, 1 with MA 7 )
1 Lionwarrior with dogde and block.
1 Phoenixwarrior with accurate,
2 Dragonwarrior ( 1 with st4 )

Two of my Lineelfs get their first skill and one of the Dragonwarrior, too.
Which skill would you take for them. ( no doubles )
On a double i would give guard to my lineelf.

Dodge or strip ball.

I've never played Highelves, but this one looks easy to me:
dragonwarrior - dodge - makes him a lot more safe and dangerous
lino1 - kick - I wonder why U don't already have one lino with kick
lino2 - block, dodge or dirty player - here is the only place to choose, depends on your play style and league, tackle if there are lot of stunties around

Juggernaut is right on. Dodge for the dragon warrior, and kick for the lino, block or dirty player, I prefer more block than dodge.

echo juggernat as well.

have to get that DW dodge, after that it depends what you roll. when I ran a HE team it was fairly easy since one of mine got AG5, so be got leap/strip ball from there while the other went the block/dodge/tackle/MB route (would have gotten dauntless instead of MB but we didnt have very many ST4+'s in our league)

One of those linos NEEDS kick, most teams should have a kicker but elves ESPECIALLY should. kick deep, put on the pressure, try and create two-turn TD for yourself and do it again

Personally I'm a bigger fan of dodge than block on the linos, I take it about 2-1 over block. (I started with 2 blockers, then got 2 dodgers, then a block, then 2 dodge, then block, then 2 dodge...) get a decent number of blockers in there but I preferred taking the pure "football" (that's *american* football ) route and playing the run/passing game. My good buddy and I had my HE vs his Orcs one day and he was having FITS over the fact that he was only getting one block per turn for his blitz since every turn I would just dodge away from his line with each and every player. He was used to luring other coaches into a scrum (I once saw a 4 by 5 square scrum of solid players in one of his games, Orcs v Amazons. Guess who won that game ) With AG4 you wont fail many dodges, and if you do fail one the Dodge skill is there to save the day. As juggernaut said though, it's personal preference. IMO Dirty Player is a nice threat to have on one player later in the season (probably a new lino's first skill after you replace a dead/retired one), but it's not a skill I think elves should be taking early in the season when there are better options.

What do you think of Guard for one lino ( if its a double )?
The next skill is kick for one of my linos.

Dogde is already not bad.
Perhaps leap for my Lionwarrior or better sprint ?

Thanks so long

For doubles i will definatelly give a lineelf guard.
Kick is also a good skill for your team. And I would give at least one lineelf dirty player.

kick on the lino is a must. as well as at least one dirty player. i usuall take kick then dp then 3 blockers, rest dodger. doubles guard even a db 5. on the DW i'd take either dodge (if you play bashers) or tackle (if you play dodgers). but since you got a str 4 DW he will be your main blitzer; tackle on him could be more usefull. if you can skill him within the next 2 matches go for dodge on the rookie. Blodgers are a pain for almost every team. dirty player can help to keep the opponents down or out.

good luck

edit: on the lionwarrior i'd take tackle, or sidestep to use him as safety or hunter on D-fence (kick deep --> mark the ballcarrier with the side stepper), id wait for ag5 to make a leaper.

I took strip Ball to a Lineelf with block and kick to a lineelf without a skill. I think it was a mistake.
I had give the lineelf with block kick and the other lineelf block.

Always take the +strength!

Kick was the right thing to do, but I personally prefer blodge all the way with elves. Strip ball isn't exactly the most useful skill for a player with MA 6...

I tried to take the +strenght on my skillroll (3+5) but somehow my commish got angry...
