High Elf: how many Catchers?

[Jimmy Fantastic]

Block on the first two, Block or Wrestle on the third. Hope for doubles for MB and PO.
Wrestle on all Linos(unless they double for Guard first).
I wouldn't even sack the -MA guy yet in a league(unless it could make the difference for a wiz).
Just put him on the LOS till he dies or gets another perm.

Ok, thanks (also to other replies!) But wrestle on all linos?* That's 4 or 5 wrestle on the pitch (+ one on a catcher), isn't that going to weaken defensive screens/cages/etc.?




*Barring any Guard, and I presume that The Kicker should also get Block?

Yeah Wrestle is good for Elfs. It certainly does weaken defensive screens/cages/etc. - your opponent's!

*The kicker can take Wrestle, he is just a random guy.

Aahrgh! You and your conflicting replies! Can't you be unanimous!?

I will go for Wrestle on at least a couple (one died today, not the MA5 one unfortunately) just to see how that works out.

I will go for Wrestle on at least a couple (one died today, not the MA5 one unfortunately) just to see how that works out.

I think a reasonable case can be made for either of the following:

(a) Wrestle on all the Catchers, Block on all the Linos, or

(b) Block on all the Catchers, Wrestle on all the Linos.

I recommend the former, as it works very well for me. But I have not tried the latter. I think it is harder to make a case for other mixtures of Block and Wrestle. I confess I would find such a roster over-complicated and difficult to play with any accuracy. But Blood Bowl would be a rather dull game if we all played and thought the same.

All the best.
