Talk Fantasy Football

I´m playing against skaven.
He has
7 Linerats, one with block
2 Gutterrunner, one with block, one with catch
1 thrower
2 stormvermin ( i hope it is the right writing )

My Crushers
2 Trollslayers
2 blitzer
2 runner, one with block
7 longbeards, one with guard

Is it better to take the ball or let the skaven start?
I´m thinking of taking the ball and block the other down, esspecially the gutterrunner and thrower.

I would let him score. And then pummel him 7 turns. Then second Half pummel him 8 turns. Get rid of his gutters so he cannot one turn in turn 16.

If you can, try to get longbeards on his gutter runners. Then smash them! Or, if he is silly enough to leave them near the sidelines, throw them out with your slayers.

This may be easiest to do when you have the ball, so either take the ball first (though it gives him a chance to mount a full defense) or go ahead and let them get that quick score, then pound them. Hold the ball and move up slowly like a good dwarf should, and try to isolate his gutter runners. Put the boot in on the runners and vermin. Block everyone you can; he only has 12 players to your 13, so you should eventually be able to get a numerical advantage on the pitch if your first-half drive goes well.

That's what I'd do.

What everyone else said. Also, make sure to mark the ball with someone other than your runners before attempting to pick it up and form your cage. If you flub the pickup and he manages to score a second TD on you, you're likely done.

Damned skaven, i lost 1:0. I had the ball in first half. He break my cage with a two dicer against him ( two times in one turn ). So i lost the ball. He took the ball in 3 tackle zones ( 5,6,5 ) this is what his dices show. He dodge away and score in turn 5. So i need one more turn to score but after 8 turns there is the halftime. In second half he put his gutterrunner in his endzone and wait for me. No chance to get the ball. I block every skaven but always stunned. When i came in the near of the ballcarier he moves and pass in my half. Missing pass, i can´t take the ball, his thrower lost the ball. And Turn 7 i half the ball, no chance to run with the ball to the endzone. Pass with no reroll to my blitzer complete, the blitzer catch the ball but fail the go for it. F... .
That was the 1:1. but no reroll. Shit, the first lost in 1,5 years of playing league ( some draws, last year with highelf only wins ).
The dwarfes are not running till now.
I don´t know what to do.
Thanks for helping me.
Next time again human.
