+1AG lineelf (dodge VS leap)

On my Wood elf team (TR135) I have 2 linemen who rolled as a first skill +1AG, thats great, but the problem is that one of them has rolled a normal skill now and i dont know if he should have Dodge o Leap.
I love the idea of a leap at +2, but the dodge is usefull to give him a little bit more of protection, and also he can do very greats dodges (like between 2 players at +3). And the other player with AG5 is at 4 point to get his 2 skill.
So whats your advise, what should i put him Dodge or Leap?

I would have taken dodge since you allready have 2 wardancers.
Maybe later i would have added leap, but i would have gotten block and dodge first for them.

Go with Dodge, and then Passblock. You can then focus both your Wardancers on the attack and leave those two in the rear as safeties.

I would go with leap...

Best defense is playing offensively with WE... you don“t wanna outnumbered on the line... Leap and hunt down his ballcarrier before he makes a cage...

I'd probably go with leap as well. It's so incredibly useful on a 5 AG player who's got a 7 movement. I'm sure you can get him block pretty soon anyway.

Leap.
It'll make it much harder for the opposing coach to take out your key cage breakers if you have three of them.

A lot of coaches [/b]usually take Leap, but I'd take Dodge just because it will make him live a little bit longer :lol:
But I've never coached an elf team, so don't take it too serious.

Take leap.
Even although you have wardancers a player who can leap on 2+ is allways fantastic.
Having such a guy will change the strategy of the opposing coach, which is allways a very good thing.

I'd say leap, and then pass block (which is a powerful combo) or go for blodge afterwards. It gives you extra options and indeed will influence your opponents play!

choose leap great utility for team. Yes you wil have wardancers but he can be as good. Leap and go for block second. Now a great player for fighting throwers. Choose dodge 3rd skill =ag 5 block dodge leap (amazing defensive player)

I have taken Leap on this occassion, and it proved to be a wise decision (at least for me). There will be more players with Dodge, but he will be able to jump somewhere to pick up a ball, etc.

Dodge

I had the same choice and picked Dodge. Liked it. Leap was an option too. Anyway, it is a luxury problem...

Yes that's what I also would do.

Dodge sound safe, and is useful, but in my opinion, better getting specialised rather than all round players if you consider yourself a good coach.
Therefore, I really recommend that you go for leap - that player would make a good support for your WDs, being able to leap over a wall of players to mess around your opponent's ballhandling.
