Talk Fantasy Football

I'm playing in a bit of a different local tournament here in a few months. 1.3m team value with five star player rolls to be assigned to chosen players and rolled before the first match. Three matches, full resurrection, all inducements available.

I've decided I'm going to play Pro Elves. With that, I've narrowed it down to the following rosters.

Choice 1:
Prince Moranion
2 Blitzers
3 Catchers
5 linemen
1 thrower
3 RR
FF3


Choice 2:
Dolfar Longstride or Eldril Sidewinder
2 Blitzers
4 Catchers
4 linemen
1 Thrower
3 RR
FF5


Thoughts? I'm thinking it'll come down to what other teams play. If it's like most other tourneys I've seen or heard of, it'll be bash heavy and Moranion will be a big help in attacking big guys and ball carriers. If it's a lot of finesse teams, though, I think Dolfar or Eldril might help a lot (although the Hypnotic Gaze might be wasted).

Thoughts? Muchas gracias.

I like Choice 1, but I'd turn the Thrower and 3FF into a 4th Catcher.

Or don't take a Star at all.

2 Blitzers
4 Catchers
1 Thrower
6 Linos
1 Apoth
4 TRRs

That is very durable, despite all the AV7.

If you take choice 2, why not an Apoth over 5FF?

Resurrection tourney. That's why. You think otherwise?

I was also thinking the thrower because I'll give him Leader with one of the skill upgrades, barring a double or stat increase.

You've got enough TRRs. You need Kick, Dodge and more Side Step.

Healthy Blitzers are very important. I'd take an Apoth over FF just for that reason: the first BH suffered, or the first Cas suffered on a Blitzer, and I'd Apoth straight away. On an AV7 team, you can value an Apoth like a Reserve, and he's cheaper (and potentially better, if he saves you a skilled player or a positional).
