I'm going to play slann in a tournament soon and I'm trying to decide which team to use. We may buy a team with a TV up to 1100k and may then choose between a number of skill packs.
I'm trying to decide which of the following to use and hope to get some opinions:

Alternative 1)
3 catchers, one with kick-off return
3 blitzers, all with wrestle
4 linemen
1 kroxigor, with break-tackle and block
3 re-rolls

Alternative 2)
4 catchers, one with kick-off return
4 blitzers, two with wrestle, two with block (I may not give the same skill to more than two players of the same position)
3 linemen, one with wrestle
3 re-rolls
1 assistant coach

Alternative 3)
4 catchers, one with kick-off return
2 blitzers, both with wrestle and strip ball
6 linemen
4 re-rolls

1: I think you should have at least 12 players, preferably + apothecary (to save positionals or skilled Linemen).

2: I think you should go ball hunting with your Linemen, not with your Blitzers. So give Wrestle and/or Strip Ball to the Linemen. I prefer Wrestle.

3: In a resurrection tournament Sure Hands >>> Kick Off Return.

4: I would also give Dodge to at least one Catcher. Being able to move reliably is very important.

This would give something like...

4x Catcher (Sure Hands - Dodge - Guard)
2x Blitzer (Block)
6x Lineman (Wrestle x2)
Apothecary
3x RR

Good luck 8)

Thanks for the reply.

I really think Kick-off return is a great skill for slann catchers because it means they have easier to commit their attack
to either side, but yeah I'll probably take dodge on one of the other catchers and wrestle on linemen.
