Talk Fantasy Football

A friend of mine (who doesn't go on this forum) needs advice for his wood-elf team. TV of 174, 12 players, 200k in Treasury. It's the start of a new season, he's got a lineman with -MA and 5 SPPs; a lineman with -AV and 5 SPPs; a thrower with two skills and -AV; and a War Dancer with three skills (strip ball, tackle, side-step) with -AV.

What do you do with that? You keep everybody on the team and buy more players? You fire some?

I thought that -AV on the thrower was no big deal if he had a deep bench and put him on the bench in defense. I'm less sure about the other players. I'd probably try to do a pass in the next game with the lineman with -MA to get him block or wrestle, but AV 6 on the other two sounds really too low.

I'd fire the wardancer and -AV lino and rebuy both unless the strip/tackle guy was essential (no other tackle against amazon or something) in the next game.

Sack the dancer and the -AV lineman. Re-buy both.

-AV is such a killer on that team. You're going to be suffering hits all the time anyway, and AV6 just doesn't cut it. The wardancer especially needs to go; he is a massive target, and doesn't have any truly exciting skills. Re-buy him and your friend should be able to skill him in the first game if he's lucky, within two if not.

Like zons, any stat loss and you are gone (except mv) when you might get to stay for a bit. Did keep an ag3 dancer for a couple of games but she had 2 skills. Sacked her as soon as l could afford to. Keep first niggles.

Cheers for the advice!

He fired the two -AV players (kept the thrower), the new War Dancer got 6 SPPs right away in the next game and he got +AG so he leaps on 2+ now, the coach is definitely very happy with the "new" team!

We really need an annual "HEFF BOWL" or something:

All coaches get 12 Human Lineman, 3 Rerolls, and an Apothecary. Only normal skills allowed on level-ups. Team roster is limited to lineman.

I don't need rubbish players, l can lose with any player. Was 3/3/7 at the end.

Actually l was just being chatty, but if l was coming over as annoying l apologise.
