Did you ever decide to keep a player who had -ST?
I just don't see what kind of player would be worth keeping after losing ST, it's the worse possible casualty and to me it's just as bad as dead.

I kept this thrall because they were a handy leader on a newish league team. I havent regreted it.

Wow snap!!! I kept this player too. http://fumbbl.com/FUMBBL.php?page=player&op=view&player_id=5144180

Thrall with leader and a - st. I really regretted it however when he failed a gfi to support a block with a mighty blow vamp and died, took a re roll and failed and took the apothecary with him too.

So what I was expecting was a vamp block with mighty blow that could have ended up with an injury ended up with:

An exposed vamp:
loss of 2 re rolls the used one and the leader one
and no apothecary on a weakened vamp team.

I hate vamps.

I always fire all injured players, but I'd probably keep a -ST dauntless gutter runner, for example.

I'd keep a -st'ed gutterrunner with horns and dauntless

Possibly a claw/rsc CW too


Ooooh! ooooh! Or a ma 10, ag 5 leap wood elf catcher


And a DP hobgoblin, lino etc. on a team strapped for cash

Pure elf-bowling throwers. At least if all they do is drop back on turn 1 and then launch the ball up field for the TD on turn 2. As they shouldn't be used on defense, there's no need for ST or AV

EDIT: My wood elf thrower actually roled +ST for his 7th skill, but ended up taking leap, as it was much more useful to him. Smile

I have a woodie block dp lino with -ST that I keep because -ST doesn't affect his fouling. I might replace him if at 31spp he doesn't get something interesting - dauntless would be nice, or even a stat.

In my own league a dwarf aged -ST, but rolled a double. So the double was used for dauntless and the player was kept for the time being.

a -str player is going to go but I tend to keep him. Either for:

-cheap LOS men on late game.
-if he has something special (ag 5 for exemple)
-if he doesn't inflate my TR too much (the TS diff won't make a big difference anyway)
-if he's a dp (foul even with eye on late half 1 for exemple)

ps: hey Jan, I thought you would dich that policy one day or another. IMO it's a bit maniac Smile

Justin Blackblood suffered a strength drop in this match.
He was killed 18 matches later. In the meantime he gained kick as 3rd skill, made a completion, a touchdown and was chosen as the most valuable player once.
The team did quite well with him.

I kept this player on my Star Wars League team and Angie was nice enough to change the name. Sometimes the fluff has to go before the long term goals Wink

He normaly only plays 2-3 turns... I don´t think I want him on the pitch longer than that anyway!

One of my Orc teams has a -ST Blitzer. He aged on his FIRST skill roll. His second roll was doubles and he got Dauntless, he's still useful. He's basically a Goblin with AV9.
