Talk Fantasy Football

During the TBB downtime, I was reading one of the tactics articles on Galak's site, namely:

If you look at the last diagram, you'll notice that the coach sends through receivers that make three dodges past a particular player. Even with elves, these will be 3+, 3+ and 2+ dodges when there is only a 37% chance of success. Of course, with a re-roll or the Dodge skill available this increases to 68% chance of success (and correspondingly more if both a re-roll and Dodge can be used).

But would anyone actually attempt such dodges?

Perhaps it's only me that rolls terribly when attempting such a thing, but bitter experience has taught me not to risk such moves.

Given similar circumstances, I would prefer to overstack on the right side and not attempt the risky run up the left side.

Instead, I would leave two reserve linemen on the left wing to force my opponent to defend that side, and have another player run through the hole on the right side of the field. Going for it twice to the center of the pitch effectively splits his defense in the center and on the right, and the risk is a good deal less than the risky dodges. Staying at home on the left side gives you some options for the next turn.

I'd try for a single hole - and then spread out receivers on the other end - not too difficult when you've got MA8/9.

Are we talking about a TR 100 team here? If we are then no, yet that depends on my mood, and how far behind I am in the score.

With an experienced Elf team, Hell yeah I would do it. Catchers, Witchelves, or just good Linelves, all have dodge and could make that. I don't know if I would send Two, I might use the second one to throw some tacklezones on the two guys to the left.
