This jewelry gets a fourth skill.

He is playing in a league with a broad variety of races, but only tier 1 ones (DE, HE, Chaos, Undead, Orc etc).
The average TV is around 1900. There are no CPOMBers in the league for your information.

A second runner has Block solely.

What should he choose to develope?

Voted fend, because it may happen he gets blitzed if you try to fast score. Fend may save you an extra dodge, i just think it's great for ball carriers.

Or you could take tackle and make him a sweeper. Yeah that's probably best now that I think of it XD

Fend or KOR are the only skills that help him as a ball carrier, but if you want a safety go for strip ball or tackle. So depends on what you want him to do. Fingers crossed for doubles at Super Star.

Since he has MA 8, the use of Kick-Off Return is slightly reduced, if it is necessary to build up a cage fast. He has both on offense and defense an enormous value, so I am tempted between Fend, Strip Ball and Tackle.

Is Leader really better than an utility-skill? I thought of Leader for my other Runner...

From the mentioned races only orcs have sure hands guy to start with. Strip ball is very usefull vs. fast and agile elves...

But then isn't Tackle to prefer since Elves usually have Dodge?

I'm one that mentioned leader and its because I was convinced to take it on my own statfreak runner in one of these very threads. I have never regretted it as it helps pay for his stat ups. (If you cut a reroll along with it you effectively get one of the movement boosts for free) I think fend/tackle/strip ball would all be solid skills as well but wanted to throw leader out there since I found it so useful. (Also should be mentioned mine was AG5 instead of MA8 making fend specifically much less useful and I was about to take tackle on my other runner so that narrowed it down for me)

Dorf rerolls only cost 50k, and don't take a skill slot. With a nice player like that he can work as a sweeper on defence, so tackle strip and stuff like that would work nicely.

Why is Fend much less useful with AG5?

I'm guessing he means because with fend you can keep blocks/blitzes away from the runner so he isn't forced to dodge from a TZ to score. With ag5 it's a 2+ dodge, so not a big problem.
