Well, title says it all.
I have a 6+5 for one of my CD. First skill of the team. Team are 2 Bulls, 6 dwarves, 4 hobgobs.
Should i create a dwarf able to dodge, or better to go the Guard route?
Moving 4, even with AG 3 he's not going to go so far, but... any suggestion?
6+5 on chaos dwarf defender. Is +AG worth it?

MA 4 or less? Skip +AG. The only exception to the rule may be Dwarfs, 'cause they only have 0-4 AG3. Even then, it's debatable at best, at least on earlier players. Maybe you'd get consensus in favor from Dwarf coaches if you were talking about Blocker #6... but for Chaos Dwarfs, you're much better off using a Hobgoblin or BC to do whatever you'd do with an AG3 CD.
On top of that, it's the first skill of the season. It'd be great if you got +AG on a Hob or a BC, but you need to build your identity up-front and you don't get many opportunities to skill the Dwarfies. So take Guard. Unless you roll +ST, given your circumstances, Guard would be the best choice, at least for the first few Dwarfs. Later, on the 4th-6th Dwarf, you can look at +MA, Diving Tackle, Side Step, Prehensile Tail or Claw as a first skill on a Dwarf (Side Step maybe even for #3, as it replaces a Stand Firm). But an AG increase? Only if it was on a guy who already had +MA. That would be cool (Chaos Dwarf Blitzer!), but it's highly unlikely that it'll happen to your team.

Look, if it was your 6th chaos dwarf, maybe it would be fun. Strong Arm, Sure Hands, Kick-Off return, and BAM! a Chaos dwarf ball handler! Mix in some doubles like Big Hand or Jump-Up and you'll never look back!
But even then, it would only be for fun, in my view. Guard is better for a Chaos Dwarf than every skill but +STR. And actually, on a first advance, you'll probably get more mileage for a couple of games out of guard than +STR (but +STR really is better.)

Even is it's fun to have an AG3 CD, i'd agree that it's not worth the additional 20k price tag and MA4 is too slow to take advantage of the higher AG.

I'd even skip doubles to take Guard first skill on a Chaos Dwarf
+ST I would take though, +MV I might consider if it isn't the first one to skill up, but getting Guard on as many of them as possible should be a priority in my eyes

Re: 6+5 on chaos dwarf defender. Is +AG worth it?
No doubt all those advising you to take a skill instead of +1AG are right.
However, having AG3 on an unexpected player can be quite handy. I once had an AG3 Zombie on an Undead side. I lost count of the number of times that he saved my bacon by handling the ball when I was in a tight spot.
As a sort of counter-example, I once took +1MA on not one, but two Chaos Dwarfs. I regretted it in the long term and wished I had taken Guard.
Hope this helps.
