My Elves are in trouble , they went on a fantastic dying/niggling spree which saw me go from 15 players to 8 in a matter of 3 games .
Ive managed to fight back up to 10 players and then after the last game disaster struck again , predictably the sp126 blitzer niggled through ageing , but as an extra kick in the teeth my catcher niggled at 31spps!
This was obviously a very bad time to pick up these injuries and im not sure how best to go about my recovery .

I wouldn't do that, tbh.

Buy linos up to 12 players. (so 2 line)

at twelve, sack the niggler for -36TR, -23str

If you have choice between line and blitzer, score with blitzer. However avoid to score with any player >16spps to score, except the blitzer to lower TR/str when you reached 12

After beeing 11, buy ASAP a blitzer, then 2 line (maybe I d even go to 3)

Then fire the catcher and replace him.


....You won't follow it anyway but I just post it.....

Play next 10 games against teams with 277/117 rating. Hopefully a team with 8 rerolls, 50ff, and 1-2 players, not with MB or DP. Hopefully just st 1 etc.

that whole plan would be good if i was guaranteed that my av7 wouldnt result in any deaths before implementing it .

To buy 2 linos will take me a minimum of 3 matchs , thats asuming 0 deaths .
So in the mean time id be best letting the nigglers who im going to fire get hit a lot as if they die it dosent hurt me as much as losing a fresh player that needs replacing (effectively stopping a situation where i need to replace both the niggled player and another player if the niggled player dies )

I tend to buy linos when i have either not enough money to buy a catcher/blitzer and its needed before next match or all my postionals .
Its just they dont tend to live very long Razz

I agree that the best player to sack first is the blitzer Razz
and i think i may try to blast him up to legend ,just for a giggle , although if casualties and money go well ill sack him as soon as i have 12 players .

hehe ive actually been playing teams with 2-3 games under their belt , is TS adjusted for having less than 11 players , it probably should be , the games have been close and quite fun Razz

sack the blitzer, and put the catcher on the Los. I think that would give your team a rating of around 140/130 which seems far easier to recover from. At the moment that blitzer will cost you 10-20k per game in lost revenue. Then come and play my flings. I won't use the dp's...much.

Seconded. No elf team is complete without a few cripples to stick on the line.

They might go very well together as team colours, but certainly not as font/background colours. My eyes still hurt! Laughing
