I'd replace the WD first as soon as you have the cash to replace them, it is too bad to miss them because of NIG (or any other reason actually).

all of them, really.
I'd fire the niggled 51 spp lino right away
save enough to replace the wardancers. First priority.
Fire one other niggled lino as soon as you have 2 healthy dancers. Or even one healthy one, if you're feeling lucky.
Frankly, you're better of firing them on the spot as they niggle, keeps you from getting in this situation...
But then, I despise nigglers...

Start with one wd and the lineman with guard, eventually get rid of them all.

Hell, it's FMBBL. Niggles aren't really such a large hinderance, unless they're on the big players. I'd look into replacing the War Dancers, but not the linemen.

One thought on Nigglers - never replace them with playoffs on the horizon. They're so much better than a rookie, especially those guys with 3-4 skills on 'em. I'd probably replace any player with a niggle and less than 3 skills FIRST. When you've replaced those, replace the bigger guys, but only after you finish a set of playoffs and you'll have time to build up to stars again in time for the next round of playoffs.

It's fumbbl, he is going to find a game with equal TR no matter what he does. I would start with the guys impacting your TR the most and work your way down. Possibly retiring in pairs. The reason being, to give you that extra gold on the earning table.
You may even want to be very bold and retire all the niggles, at once, and work your way back up.

THIS IS FUMBBL!
That means you could easily retire all nigglers!
Check out the top 30 and look at all top Woodie teams (except mine, but that's an entirely different story). Most of them retire each and every niggler immediately.
I would retire all of the nigglers, except the AG 5 Lineman (who will be awesome once he got Leap) and maybe the Guard.
The Wardancers don't even have anything but ordinary skills, therefore there is no point in keeping them, and Lineelf no. 9 eats way too much TR.
Get 2 new Wardancers first and then buy 3 more Catchers.
If you don't want to do that for any reason, you should put both Wardancers and no.9 at the LoS all the time!

Don't ever retire nigglers, and maybe someday your team could look like
this.
