Why?
Well the way I see it there is about 0.00000000000001% chance of me winning the GT and thats being optimistic!!! So my plan is to go for the most TD award (last year I saw that most of the top players go for 1-0 or 2-1 wins so I thought it seemed like a good idea to aim for this).

Then a OTS isn't what you need - you should be concentrating on skills to turn your opposition over.
(And even then you'll get screwed over by GW's shite software ).

You win most touchdowns by getting the ball on defence and scoring. So Strip Ball will be a better choice then sprint.
Winning most TDs normally puts you in the top half dozen or so at most tournaments. If you don't think you've much chance of winning your games then go after most casualties... LRB5 Khemri are probably the best team to do that with.

I didn't think about strip ball but it would make alot of sence, I'm now think this for skills.

Seriously, Sprint is a waste (I managed 27tds without it).

I'd probably take the following skills:
Thrower - block - to act as another storm vermin on defence or counter any strip balling blockers when on offence.
Gutter runners - one with strip ball and one with wrestle - these would be my ball hunters when on defence
Storm vermin - tackle - to go after any blodgers, stuntys, amazons etc
Lineman - kick - if your going for most tds I think you need as much control as possible over kick off and could make difference opposition being able to cage up or not with your gutters running through the lines.
Finally I'd take either guard on the other storm vermin or block on a gutter can't really decide which.
I find with skaven that scoring is not really a problem which is why I skill up with getting the ball back in mind

I like that thinking.
On a side point I'm not a fan of Wrestle is it worth taking?

I like wrestle for taking down ball carriers with block, worked a few times for me even on a half dice.
I agree almost complete with Cracols selections. I really think you need to work kick in somewhere, its really handy to put teams under pressure of a turn over right from the kick off.[/i]
