About to join the Waterbowl

I am fairly new at playing the dwarfs and need to pick some skills and could do with some advice...

The picks are:
1. 4x skills 2x doubles
2. 3x skills 1x double MA+1
3. 5x skills AG+1
4. 4x skills ST+1

I have chosen no4 with guard on two blockers, Hail mary pass on a runner, sure feet on the other runner and ST+1 on one of the blockers...

I like a fairly solid LOS and the combination of guard and ST+1 will ensure that I can keep the centre ground...whilst flanking with the positional players. I also like the option of passing to counter the poor movement of my players.

What advice would be on offer?

I will be playing players who I have never played before. So can not guess their tactics...

I think I might go with option 3. Give the agility to one of your runners and give the other one Pass instead of HMP.

In 4th and earlier, this is bad advice, but in 5th, +ST on a Slayer is all kinds of beautiful. +MA or +AG on a Runner is also great; given those options, I'd go with AG because in a vacuum it's better and doubles rolls don't help Dwarfs a whole lot.

I might do something like:

Runner w/+AG
Runner w/Pass
2x Blitzer w/Stand Firm
2x Blocker w/Guard

Or:

Runner w/+AG
Runner w/Pass
2x Blocker w/Guard
2x Blitzer w/Guard

Or:

Runner w/Pass
3x Blocker w/Guard
2x Blitzer w/Side Step
