Two more important high elf skill ups / blitzer and lineman

Hey everyone,

I just received two important skill ups after my last match.

Here is my team so far:

1 thrower - accurate, strong arm, dodge, (pass, sure hands)
1 thrower - (pass, sure hands)

1 lineman - no skills
1 lineman - dodge
1 lineman - wrestle
1 lineman - guard
**1 lineman - +AG, leap / just rolled a "ten" so i can get +1AV, or +1 MV or a normal skill

1 catcher - (catch), diving catch
1 catcher - (catch), guard
1 catcher - (catch), dodge, wrestle

1 blitzer - (block), dodge
** 1 blitzer - (block), dodge, side step / just rolled doubles

For the +AG, leaping lineman, I am thinking about the following:

+1AV or +1MV
Wrestle
Block
Strip Ball
Tackle
Dodge

For the doubles on the Blodge, sidestep blitzer - i am thinking:

Guard
MB
Diving Tackle
Tackle
Strip Ball

In our league, we allow right stuff players to be immune to the effects of the tackle skill. It is a league house rule.

I would love to hear your thoughts on further developing these players? I am brand new to playing elves.

Demographics of our league:
1 Necro - first season
1 undead - fourth season
1 orc - third season
1 orc - second season
2 lizards - first season
1 wood elf - first season
1 human - first season
2 human - fourth season
1 slaan - second season
1 underworld - first season
1 nurgle - first season
1 chaos - first season
1 halfling - first season
1 skaven - first season
1 dwarf - third season
1 high elf / my team / first season

Cheers,
Michael

MB for the Blitzer; having 1 MB player on an Agility team is really important, and you have 2 Guard (which would be the alternative) already.

Wrestle for the Lino. I don't understand why you gave a lino Leap, but given that you did, making him a sacker is the best option.

I would go Mighty Blow on the Blitzer and then if he skills up again Frenzy. I always like Frenzy on my HE blitzers. As for the lineman I would go for either wrestle, strip ball, or the MA increase. MA 7 makes him a cheaper blitzer. Granted its his 3rd skill so it only works to get him a defensive skill which wouldn't be until 51 points so that is harder. Wrestle is still a solid choice.

If you're playing HE's your throwers have safe throw, not sure hands.

Thanks Madsherman. Totally a typo on my end.

I chose Wrestle on the lino and MB on the blitzer. Thanks for your advice everyone.

The last match I was in a spot where I still wish I would have taken Guard, but I know MB will always serve a player well.

Cheers,
Michael
